TharnType 2: 7 Years Of Love (2020)

Relatively weak story for Tharntype, too little of Champ and Khumpol

The story of Tharntype 2 is no doubt weaker than that in the first Season. This can probably only be expected. There are only a few ways to continue the love story: (1) introduce a third party, (2) show how the realities of life after their graduation could cause a bit of a rift between our main characters, (3) a bit of each of the above.

So Season 2 ends u, where Tharn and Type are concerned, largely being the two of them fighting (for no apparent reason at times) and then making up (+ out), fighting and then making up (+ out), fighting and then making up (+out). It isn't that bad for hardcore fans of Tharntype. The production is rather slick, and there is no lack of kissing scenes. The introduction of Fiat into the story is somewhat lame--it seems too obviously calculated to create a crisis in Tharn and Type's relationship, but it is unconvincing and even self-contradictory. Fiat appears to really like Type at some point though we know from the start whom he will be shipped with.

One good thing about this series is the side couple, Champ and Khunpol. They are really lovable (especially Khunpol and that smile of his), but we don't get enough of them. I wonder why. They are so cute as a couple that I wish there had been more screen time for them to delve into their respective inner worlds and back stories. The first five episodes would have been better with some development of Champ and Khunpol. The already weak story of Tharntype only really gets going from around Episode 6, and I would have appreciate some Champ and Khunpol moments, possibly some flashbacks into their university days when they shared a room and Khunpol had a crush on Champ.

Part of the charm of Season 1 (despite some rather toxic behavior on both Tharn's and Type's parts) is the real sense of crisis in their relationship. The story of Lhong, the villain, and what he has done to Tar (Tharn' ex) is much more compelling than the non-threat that Fiat obviously is in Season 2. Season 2 pales in comparison. Otherwise it might be more well-liked.

Season 1 is must better than season 2,its worst!!

On season 1 must better than season 2. Season 1 from episode 1 until 12 we enjoy how the character growing together, acting also best. Script also good, spesialy on episode 11 12 make me crying. Acting maximal,,,
I think when the title is 7 years its will be much better cause they are literally staying together for long time. And break up just like that? After 7 years. On season 1 much better when the plot lhong story make them break up. On season 2 break up only misunderstandings type kissing? I just huh? Just like that and break up? I know acting Gulf is best but plot of story not so so,,,,
My apologies when my review not satisfied cause its only my opinion. Season 1 is better to rewatch again. And until now i have watched season 1, third time. And still crying when they are break up.

Some good laughs but didn't sell.

"TharnType: The Series" garnered acclaim during its release year; however, revisiting it in 2024 reveals a somewhat disappointing experience. Perhaps the series' reception was influenced by the demographic and the state of BL genre development in 2019, which may have been less mature compared to later years.

The casting and storyline, while adequate, fail to leave a lasting impression, lacking the depth necessary to captivate viewers who have since been exposed to more refined offerings within the genre. Despite its initial acclaim, the series falls short in providing substantial character development beyond surface-level exploration, particularly in its handling of conflicts and narrative pacing.

Furthermore, the editing issues and excessive focus on intimate scenes detract from the overall viewing experience, making it difficult for the series to strike a balance between romantic elements and a cohesive storyline. While "TharnType: The Series" may have resonated with audiences in its time, it ultimately struggles to hold up to the evolving standards of the BL genre, leaving much to be desired for viewers seeking a more nuanced and engaging narrative.

if it weren't for Mew and Gulf's performances, I might have given rating this series as low as possible. Do you know why? the story that has been built very well in the first season ruin brutally in this season.

I couldn’t even finish every episodes of this season properly, the duration that took way tooo long made me bore easily. Too many cliches things and problems that solved simply made me wonder how stupid the script was.

I didn’t buy any dumb conflicts that showed fatuously.

Oh God, I watched this series satisfactorily after episode Ten. It feels like I was eating a donut, only enjoy on every sides but emptiness in the middle.

Could have been better!!!

I like TT1, but TT2 has a lot of problems. Sure this season 2 was supposed to be about their post-life after college, and it was nice to see how they navigate their life after that, but the unnecessary dramas were a little too much and there was just more angst than anything. The plot wasn't there, and we just see how they didn't really progress their adult relationship. For instance, Tharn got jealous so much and Type was still the same; really impulsive and gets aggressive fast. I understand that is just Type's personality, and he did make some progress later on, but the whole Fiat hitting on Type is just overdone. It was not ideal to see Fiat doing that just to break up TT's relationship. I think they could have a plot where TT went through their trouble by coming out to the public and having some people disapprove of their marriage; then using their voice to support LGBTQ? Like do something around that, but I guess the writer loves some drama!! lol. Overall, I'm glad I watched it during airing time because I would not be able to make it to the last episode!!!!

The same story once again... nothing new to see

I don't think this second season was as bad as people seem to say, but it's true that they didn't give us anything new. It's like they did a copy-paste of the first season, and they just added some new characters. The plot is exactly the same. So it feels more like they did this as a fan-service instead of honestly wanting to continue their story.

For me the best part of this second season is the comedy. Techno is as hilarious as ever, and I'm so glad that Khlui is still the same as in college. I lost it when they added a note saying "don't imitate this at home" while Khlui was trying to hear through the wall.


STORY

You will think that after 7 years this couple has changed, and that the fragile trust in each other disappeared. Ha! They should take notes of Cir and Phugun's relationship. They said that these two have been dating for less years than Tharn and Type (and they both are younger), yet they showed a level of maturity and trust in their relationship that it's nowhere to be found in Tharn and Type's.

In the first season Type was the jealous one in the relationship. As soon as someone approached Tharn, he would misunderstand and accuse Tharn of cheating on him showing how he doesn't trust his boyfriend.
In this second season Tharn is the one jumping into conclusions and accusing Type of cheating stating that he can't trust him.
And in both, there is someone behind doing some "tricky" things.
In the first season it was Lhong, because he was obsessed with Tharn.
In the second season it's Fiat, because he is obsessed with Type.
Both of them have a pretty similar background that explains their behavior (but it doesn't mean that they get excused for it) and although Fiat didn't do bad things compared to Lhong, I felt like Lhong's character was way more needed in the story than Fiat's.

Tharn's family is as lovely and supportive as always.
Type's family... his mom is a sweetheart who is always siding with her son. And his dad isn't that bad. Yes, he is constantly saying how he doesn't like the fact that his son is gay and how he wants Type to break up with Tharn and get married with a woman. However if you pay attention all what he does is talk. He never threatens Type, nor does something to mess up their relationship. Maybe he isn't happy about his son's decision regarding his love life, but he doesn't try to ruin his son's happiness. He just annoys him but he never takes action, so for me Type's dad is a pass (and his scenes are pretty funny).

There are 3 support couples but they don't have a lot of screen time. I feel disappointed over the fact that in the first season they made it look like Khlui and Seo would get together in the future, yet Seo's character only appeared twice and obviously there was no development. I also feel disappointed that we didn't have any Tum and Tar plot. They didn't develop their story in LBC2 and they didn't even mention them on TharnType 2.

As a side note, I would love to see a spin off about Phugun and Cir. I want to know how they met, how did they fall in love, and how these two different types of human beings ended up together. While Cir looks grown, serious, and mature, Phugun has a childish taste, seems innocent, and he is very naive. I didn't have enough of them tbh.


CAST

Once again the acting was good. I feel like none of the actors from the first season improved. They did a nice job in the first one and they repeated this nice job in the second one. Could it have been better? Of course. Everyone is able to improve on anything. But their acting was acceptable.
The new cast didn't do a bad job neither, but I still prefer Kaownah as the villain. Lhong is one of my favorite TharnType characters, and that's probably because his acting job was really good.


MUSIC

The music is like the plot, a copy-paste. They added 1 or 2 new songs but that's it. And I have to say that in several scenes there was a background music that reminded me to one of BTS' songs, to the point that I'm not sure if they got some "inspiration" from it.


REWATCH

I've rewatched the first season a few times but I don't know if I will ever rewatch this second one. At the end of the day it's basically the same story and, as I've mentioned above, I prefer to see Lhong as the villain.

You can digest it...if you try to!

I'll be honest, I'm a Wanjaai so I watched this series with high expectations. I am not totally disappointed, but I am absolutely not satisfied. I remember while it was airing, everyone was bashing the director for weird camera angles, lighting problems, and random cuts, but I'll be honest all these can be digested well if the script is superb.
This series had top-notch cast, Mew and Gulf's acting apart, the other cast were very good too. It has the best main CP with chemistry that can light up the sun. The OST's and music are good too.
But what it lacked was a good script and good pace. P'Mame wrote a script that made me think that maybe the author herself doesn't love her character anymore. They changed a lot of things from the actual novel and well some things were problematic in the story so I'm glad they did. But it felt like the whole season just needed ep 9-12; anything before that was unnecessary and doesn't add up to the main plot anyway.
But if you enjoyed TTS1, bet you'll watch it again. I'm giving it a 9.5 just because of MewGulf. So if you have watched TTS1 and wanna see some steamy hot kisses, awesome chemistry, superb acting from MC's, lovely and fluffy romance, eye candy guys, a bit toxic turn of events, unnecessary drama, bad script being pulled off by superb couple yada yada then go for it.

Started with high expectation and ended with frustration

GOOD SIDE: MewGulf's unbeatable chemistry, bb Gulf's improved acting skill.

NEGATIVE: basically everything else lol or hic, idk whether to laugh or cry out of my frustrations OTL

I've read so many complains about the script of ss1 and wondered if all those ppl who complained also watch ss2, how would they feel lol. may be throw up? This is season came like an additional 'gift' for Waanjais like me and was scripted as per Mame's 3rd book about the couple (while ss1 was based on 1st and 2nd) which means the amount of content to spread into 12 eps are not as much as ss1, But it doesn't mean that the production team can work awfully-poorly and manipulated the fans' love for the main couple, not to mention this ss they have strong financial backups from all brands (and that's why there's pr scene everywhere even with their kiss in ep 11, omg please anything but please spare me the kiss OTL). Why tf even at finale ep I cannot my couple getting married as the trailer and why tf I have to wait can watch special ep though (although I complained but I'm still buying it lol). I still have great gratitude towards P'Mame for creating a chance for MewGulf being together, but sorry this ss she performed and has led a poor direction for the series' sequel. Not to mention the biggest second lacking is the series is not directed by P'Tee anymore with his great choice of lighting and camera angles.

Conclusion: the ss2 for me is good to watch up until ep7 (right before they parted through each others and the series barely could survive without MG's chemistry ;__;). But please don't jump in ss2 without watching the ss1 first, after ss1, you have all choices of whether to cont to watch or not, my recommendation is 75% because of Mew Gulf who saved the series, sorry to say that but that's true.

Same

So as a BL fan it's pretty much a staple to have TharnType on your list. Unfortunately, this season fell a bit short. A good portion of the other reviews I saw all have the same reaction I do...not much has changed in 7 YEARS! Romance is a little cheesier/cuter but other than that their attitudes are still over dramatic, possessive and whiney. 7 years is a long time for anyone but not much growth went on in that time. This is yet again another drama I loved the side couples more lol The other "couples" went quite well throughout, each couple had different categories they fall in (won't spoil it more). Overall TharnType is incredibly popular so S1 is pretty much mandatory but I'm definitely not gonna say "OMG you gotta watch S2!" Apparently, there's another side story so...we have that lol
Enjoy...

why is the rating lower than the 1st season?

well i think the 2nd season is a bit better than the first one..

i like the character development compared to the 1st season, even though it's not so drastic. the story isn't as toxic as the first one too.

MEW with his forehead exposed = daddy. GULF also looking extra cute here. Their fashion also improved by a lot!!

Seriously, their intimate scenes looks so natural with secondary actions such as hand gestures, eye movements, facial expression, everything.
I just hope they get to act in another series with MUCH BETTER PLOT because they're extremely talented, but it's ruined by the story of this series.

i just don't like the fact that there are too many side cp. plus, how did everyone become gay?? 2 gay cps r enough in one series, imo...
also it'd be nice if there are more woman characters w/o being the target of misogynism :/

Idgaf

To be honest i haven't find any problems with the series so far not sure if am blind or what, its ok for me best bl drama raw and uncut with real life problems stress and stuff.

Hope the other characters could have more story line all now i haven't seen techno's boyfriend he was complaining to type on the phone about am curious ?.

I understand the facts why type don't want to get married to the world it is not because of what people will say but the look they give when you pass by it ain't nice to be the center of attention tharn should understand that he didn't even insist on getting a private wedding or something a ring says it alll.

Base on the characters they are ok for me i haven't find problems the argue with the writer about i just curse the characters ? from time to time for their foolish acts lol thanks ....

SHOULD WATCH or SHOULDN'T WATCH scroll down to get the answer.

Starting from the start if you are here after watching tharntype the same you might have high expectations for this season , but this series plot didn't reached upto my limit of imagination and expectations. what I mean to say is the plot was good enough , but couldn't got the feeling of 7 years of togetherness , the trust upon each other was same as of thier freshman year. This plot was okay okay . The acting of Mew and Gulf was same as their freshman year. There was not much sweet moments , understanding part etc. The only thing I got satisfaction in , I got another chance to see my both favourite actors and their chemistry on a single screen. I can say Mew's character was little bit more good .
But both the actors played their best while acting. I didn't like the plot , but I like the casting team. Overall I liked it only because of MEW AND GULF. Mew and Gulf was the only reason I watched this and looking forward to see their "Our love special 2 wedding special" releasing on 13 Feb. Now if u got clear idea so you may The only thing I could find satisfaction in this series was, l got another chance to see my favourite actor's chemistry on a single screen from which I guess I am satisfied. Overall I can say was only Mew and Gulf was the only reason I watched this and I am kind of okay with this series plot and looking forward to see their "Our love special 2" releasing on 13 Feb. Now if u got clear idea so you may watchwatch it . If you found this helpful comment Me .
