Type Thiwat is a popular freshman with a passion for football and spicy food. Although he’s seemingly incredibly friendly, he holds a deep hatred for members of the LGBTQ+ community due to past experiences of sexual assault. His life turns upside down when the new academic year of college brings along a charismatic roommate, Tharn Kirigun. Tharn is a gorgeous, compassionate music major, who is also openly gay. When Type learns this, he is determined to make Tharn leave the dorm, as he refuses to live with a gay person. Tharn is equally determined not to give into Type's homophobic demands and tantrums, adamant to remain in the dorm as his sexuality should hold no importance as to whether he's allowed to stay in his dorm. The tension between the two increases, leading to a tentative sexual and eventually romantic relationship as they come to understand one another. https://mydramalist.com/32555-tharntype-the-series
