Bad Buddy (2021)

The most beautiful series ever made

The best BL series out there, I have watched more than 100 bl shows and this is the one on my list as the BEST. Actually I completed this series on the day when it ended, but I wanted to write a review on how good it is and to make it's level of attraction increase.

Story/Plot: 9.5
Starting with the story, people would be like "oh, this is the common university love. But I guarantee you it's the best university-themed show ever, Now Im saying this also cause I LOVE enemies to lovers plots. The thing is that this show potraits every single thing let it be comedy, emotional, jealousy, irritating Pat as well as beautiful. Ep 1-4 are the main episodes of the already started love, ep 5 is what made me cry badly, for 2 weeks I cried thinking of them. ep 6-9 was good but ep 10-12 the ending episodes had the most important feelings. I don't want to reveal more spoilers as it would make you people less interested in this. All I can say they are perfection. ?

Acting/Cast: 10
Ohm and Nanon are just the best GMMTV actors out there. Really these guys were the ones who made me cry, they worked so hard and gave all their emotions to this series. Love these guys, looking forward to Our Skyy2.

Music: 10
Three songs in a single series. What do you look for else. Just perfection

Directed by- P'Aof, the greatest director ever.

I am comparing with 2gether

First of all, this is my second BL series ever. Before watching this, I looked up for some good BL series and saw it's hype. It isn't disappointing.

The series is indeed a good one with young actors expressing wide range of emotions. I just couldn't resist myself from blushing or smiling the whole time while watching this. Can't just think that I binge watched it in a single day.

The plot is interesting. The leads have a healthy chemistry without the unnecessary drama, misunderstandings, second leads and cunning girls. The acting is again, top-notch. Plus he OST and other songs are unforgettable.

Now, finally comparing it with my first BL series 2gether (Bright and MetaWin). They both have more or less similar setting of a university and school and doing majors in different branches. The one thing that unites them is music, band and guitar.

I think that Sarawat there is Pran and Tine is Pat in this series.

Sarawat/Pran- The cold guy, sings and plays guitar well, has supportive 3 friends, fell first but held back for long.

Tine/Pat- The guy interested in girls at first, one who doesn't thinks much, instinctive, cute one, has 3 supportive friends, a sibling

There are little differences in both the series. But things that I liked in Bad Buddy more are they don't have any misunderstanding, no husband-wife concept, more chances to see each other daily and nothing like cringe.

Overall, these two are at par with each other but the OSTs and dialogues were better in 2gether. There are minute differences in the ratings of both but I like 2gether more. d

Thank you!

Personally, i think this is one of the better BL's out there right now. The story line is different then general 'school BL's', as most are about boys in the same faculties. Here it's different faculties, who compete against one another, and contains rival families who treat one another as enemies. I think it makes the plot deeper then most BL's go, it has a great story line, i Love the chemistry between the leads and the overall acting was really good! I adored the songs in this they were amazing. Personally, i wasn't so fond of the last episode, as i don't like when a series just flies into the future years, as for me i felt like the here and now mattered more in the situation. But overall it ended happily so that's good. Deffinetly would rewatch this.

The twists got me fooled

The main story line is seemed typical, but then it's nice. The flow and the story evolving really amaze me; they really did a thorough into plotting the details so that it wouldn't missed anything. Whenever they jumped to a new scene, it would always go back and explains it.

The cringe, the hate & anger, the friendships they hold - they truly bring it all out. I love every moment of it. And not to mentioned their plot twists. It made me wonder who's hating who between the two parents and man it was a shocker. The grudges they holds sure was such a long time.

Pat & Pran relationships really evolves nicely. They went and did everything together - hardship, sadness, happiness, being there for one another, you name it. Even when they quarrel, they never stop loving each other. Not to mentioned their acting. Damn it was so good, so hilarious. Pat acting like a girl. Pran fake sobbing. Simply amazing!

There is one question I've wondering - I may not see it in detail - but... who's top & who's bottom? Anyone?

the cycle of grief (=the cycle of love)

Bad Buddy feels very much like a universal love story. It is the young adult version of a coming of age story centering, ultimately, around the idea of peace over revolution when facing the familial cycles of love and neglect. Pran and Pat were not able to become the friends they should have been in childhood due to their parents’ rivalry and hatred towards each other. They had to repress this friendship, and thus parts of themselves, to fit into the standards that were made for them.

Growing up, you figure out who you are, the basics of your identity, stemming from how you were raised. From your relationship to your parents-- the foundation of who you are-- you start to identify what you are, and of course, what you are NOT; what are you, and what is the “OTHER”? What do you relate to, who do you not relate to? Where do your loyalties lay? How do you dream? What do you dream of? How do you cope? What kind of child were you? (What kind of parent are you?) How do you view love? Is it an obligation? Is it a competition? Is it completely unmarked, unexplored and unknown territory?

Whether through deep thought or an innate ability to know yourself, you put yourself in these boxes, or you cross the line between you and the other. You are sometimes given the chance to reject the box. But how do you go against your upbringing? How do you compensate for the habits, weaknesses, fears, way of communication, that you’ve known forever? What if our parents were wrong? What happens if they have wronged us? Do you ever need to forgive your parents?

What are the barriers in love?

In Bad Buddy we see how the past greatly influences the way Pat and Pran become, and how they try to be together despite the odds, what feels like their whole world telling them to not be together. Some dreams our cast keeps, some dreams our cast lets go. Some become the “other,” and they all find their own family. They learn they cannot change the world, but they should never let the world change each other. They choose acceptance and peace over completely revolutionizing their lives for the greater good of the love they created and learned-- though that acceptance in itself is an act of revolution.

And all of this was portrayed so beautifully. :')

It's one of the most entertaining bls you'll ever see. Maybe even the most entertaining one. It's one of my favorites because it's a series that I really had a lot of fun watching. But the problem is that I watched it when it was airing and left it at episode 11. Episode 11 is a bit annoying, there isn't much going on when the plot is in the most important part, it's frustrating. Even the first half of the episode 12 is annoying.

So I watched it again recently and I finished the last two episodes, but I already knew what was going on with the ending. If I didn't know what happened, I would be very angry. If I watched it without knowing while airing, I would be really REALLY angry. I don't like things with time skips and I don't like being fooled. I would to cry while watching it, for litteraly no reason.

There are some annoying points, but I would watch it over and over again because it is really fun. The story is simple but beautiful. Sometimes simple stories can turn into the best stories when done well.

DEFINITELY WATCH IT!

My first thai drama that made me fall in love with thai culture. I loved the dynamic between Prat and Pran, the plot like from Romeo and Juliet, friends who can't be together cuz of their families' hatred towards each other. They are forced to be rivals but can't keep it. Pran fell for Pat first, but Pat really fell harder. The obstacles this man were able to take just to see Pran, talk to him, approach him was so sweet. This romance already overcomes the straight ones I used to watch. It made me fall in love even harder as I saw how the chemistry between two boys can be ten times bigger. I'll miss their teasing, fighting, making up, cheering each other up, showing affection, being careless of their surroundings... And beside these two we got amazing GL with Pa and Ink. They had so many sweet moments that felt completely natural. They made no differences between straight and gay couples. I felt like I was in the world when it was like this from the beginning. No judging, no hate, no awkwardness, just wholesome story.

Best romance show ive ever seen

Ill start this review by pointing out the only flaws with this show in my opinion

1. the editing and sound design was a little bad/cheesy to me
2. i didnt really care for the cinematography

however, the acting, and character writing was absolutely insane
1. both the main actors did a fantastic job, you could feel the emotions they were portraying without any dialogue even
2. the characters are very well written and compliment eachother well, and the relationship was super healthy
3. it felt so realistic to the real feeling of falling in love with someone

overall this show left me feeling alot of emotions and love for the main characters, its quite possibly my favorite depiction of romance ive ever seen, absolutely fantastic job by the crew, writers and actors.
