#Transtype d series

My advise to my fellow LGBTQ memebers here, dont ever date someone like Type in real life. Yes there was a traumatic experience but its not an excuse to be an arse. If ever id meet someone like Type in real life id definitely run the other way. Its not the worst series, but it definitely doesnt deserve a 10.įirst and for the love of god, why is Type's character written like the biggest asshole in town. Rewatch Value 5.0 im not sure how some of the reviews rated this show with a 10. But, despite all the good, it had some real flaws. With all that said, I can't say I didn't enjoy the series. Not only does the actor who plays Thorn NOT look older than Mew, but he is actually younger in real life. Seriously? Was there anyone who didn't know right then and there that Lhong was hopelessly in love with Tharn? Without the glass drop, Lhong's devious behavior would have been even more of a surprise. And then, Lhong uncomfortably makes an excuse and practically runs out of the room. Really? It was dumb when Pete did it in LBC (especially since he and Ae had already slept together, but I digress. Type looks like he could easily kick Lhong's ass, but he sat there being strangled, without fighting back even a little.į) LHONG DROPPING THE GLASS.

Why? Totally uncalled for.Į) LHONG/TYPE IN THE LAST EPISODE. Tharn was there begging for Tar to let him up when, in real life, I'm sure Mew could have thrown him off with almost no effort!ĭ) TYPE HITS THARN IN THE BALLS IN THE BAR BATHROOM. To go along with that.Ĭ) THE BED SCENE WITH TAR/THARN WAS SILLY. But that's not the point.) Tar looked completely juvenile and the idea of Tharn falling for him - to the point of being destroyed when Tar left him - was almost laughable to me. (Apparently he's 25 or something, a few years older than Gulf. They look fine together.)ī) TAR LOOKED 14. Gulf is 21 but could easily pass for 24-25. (That said, I had no problem with Mew/Gulf. He looks like he should be a teacher in the college. Don't get me wrong, 28 isn't exactly old, but it's nowhere near 19. The following were not dealbreakers, but I found them a little hard to swallow:Ī) MEW PLAYING A 19 YEAR OLD. Why on Earth didn't Lhong end up in prison, or committed to a psych ward? Did Tharn just think Type was hot? What in Type's personality attracted Tharn? Let's face it, Type was a hot mess on many levels. That was there in spades, no question! But, it was never explained why Tharn was so taken with Type. So, how exactly did this happen? We got no explanation.Ĥ) THE ACTUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THARN/TYPE.

He went from understandably hating gays, to suddenly having sex with Tharn. So, even if we allow for some time lapses here and there, we saw absolutely zero development of Type's character. There was no 'six months later' that I could see. I was confused (and still am) about what the timeline was for this story. As written, the 'rape victim suddenly turned gay' storyline was not only unbelievable, but incredibly insensitive and offensive to actual victims of childhood rape. That in itself would have been dramatic enough. I seriously think (and wish) that the author would have had a better story, had she simply made Type a bigoted homophobe who eventually came around. Then, in the next episode, he comes out and asks Tharn for anal sex (with Type as receiver), just one time, to 'get it over with, once and for all.' Are you kidding me? This was a childhood rape victim? And, Tharn's going along with it was almost as incredulous. Then, without any buildup, Type has no issue with getting a blow job from his hated gay roommate. Not as something cute, that can just be dismissed as 'oh well.'Ģ) THE WAY TYPE'S CHILDHOOD RAPE STORY WAS HANDLED.Īt first I was intrigued, because Type was obviously scarred, and his intense hatred of gays made sense. But it should be presented as what it is, a molestation. Can something like this be portrayed in a drama? Yes, of course it can. Here's why:ġ) THARN'S MOLESTATION OF TYPE, WHILE TYPE WAS SLEEPING (And yes, that's what it was.)įor someone who was supposed to be the 'good guy,' this was not cool, not funny, not appropriate.

Now, for my issues with the series (hence, some of my lower ratings):ĭespite some great performances, THE STORY WAS SO BAD I nearly dropped it after about four episodes. The chemistry between Mew and Gulf was off the charts! (That ice cube kissing scene in the last episode was epic.)

Kaownah (Lhong) was a great singer and a decent actor (although, with all the crying, some real tears would have been welcome) = A. For me, Mew (Tharn) carried this show, with brilliant acting = A+. This review may contain spoilers This was a popular series, and deservedly so! As you can see, my ratings are all over the place, so I will explain why.
