TharnType 2: 7 Years of Love
So to prepare watching this drama, I rewatched the entire first season since it had already been year since I had watched TharnType and I couldn't remember it well.
This drama uses a trope that I don't like: the everyone is in a gay relationship trope. It's like why is this one friend group all gay? Yeah, it can be funny, but it becomes distracting to the story because you end up diluting the character's relationships. Side characters' stories don't get enough time to fully develop and it begins to feel like everything is just fanservice.
For a couple that's been together for 7 years, they're still dealing with a lot of issues that first and second year couple's deal with: they don't seem to have talked about any of their problems that they had during the first series. So I wonder, how have they lasted 7 years if they still have miscommunication problems, jealousy, and completely opposite values?
The drama did attempt to show how as two couples grow older, they have to endure their work problems and how work can affect a relationship negatively. But for me, that felt like a weak reason for them to always bicker and not communicate. I'm so stressed from work, so I'm gonna create faux drama so that we fight. Boring.
I don't think you'll lose anything from watching this drama, the first one wasn't that great to begin with. Maybe if they cut the first 5 episodes from season one, they could make it better.
