Literally my favorite BL ever

I love this show with my whole being. I went in not expecting to love it as much as I did, but the story and the characters were amazing. I highly recommend you watch this. I think its a good beginner show to watch, its not too spicy and the plot is so good. I also enjoyed the fact that there was only one couple and we could really focus on their story and not have others.

Bad Buddy is undoubtedly a series I would relish watching repeatedly.

Bad Buddy: The Series provided an exhilarating viewing experience. Each episode, released weekly, captivated me, leaving me eagerly awaiting the subsequent installment. The series maintained a consistent pace, ensuring there were no dull moments. Unlike other GMMTV productions, it exuded a unique freshness that set it apart. The exceptional on-screen chemistry between the main leads was fun to watch, enhancing the overall narrative. Their dynamic performances truly anchored the show. Bad Buddy is undoubtedly a series I would relish watching repeatedly. Bad Buddy stands out as one of the best BL dramas I've ever watched, and my second viewing was just as captivating as the first. Nanon and Ohm, portraying Pran and Pat, share incredible chemistry that gives me a delightful tingle during their scenes. Their gaze, hand-holding, and the charming moments of puppy love create an enchanting experience.

The storyline is truly impressive, marked by a well-paced plot that never drags. Integrating brands seamlessly into the narrative was a clever touch that didn't feel intrusive. This BL is a prime example of a well-written and brilliantly acted series, offering a comforting and satisfying viewing experience. While I'd love a season 2, the excellence of season 1 leaves me content.

Having watched over 50 BLs, I confidently rank Bad Buddy in my top 3 favorites, if not the number one spot at times. It's a must-watch for those seeking a show with a engaging storyline, impeccable acting, and a perfect balance of emotions.

The performances of the main leads are superb, with seamless chemistry that makes them feel like a real-life couple. The emotional scenes are particularly striking, with Ohm portraying Pat's playful yet serious tone brilliantly, and Nanon conveying every emotion through his expressive eyes. Bad Buddy is a show I can't stop praising for its greatness.

my comfort......

this is my comfort BL drama for sure.... whenever I feel like I am in a bad mood or I feel exhausted with my life I watch this bI to see their friendship the love the cuteness the forbidden trope and bl gl trope, the one sided love the enemies to lovers........
I love the actors nanon and ohm .....
they are great
I especially loved iat when pat realises that he is in love with pran ....
the moment of realisation in his eyes is beautiful
their first kiss was one of the best kisses in BL history
the kiss was kind of letting go of what the parents what their relationship to be like and accepting what their heart wants.....
the scene in which pat loudly confuses to pran is sooooo beautiful
there are a lot of people who don't think that this is the best BL ever but I am not a very critical person while watching a bl and may be that's why I loved this drama and I always watch this
and every time I watch this BL I love it even more
the actors did a good job in portraying there roles and I am very happy that I could watch this drama anytime I want
if you think this drama is bad I don't know what to say to you but I loved it

I am not looking into this drama in a critical way but I am just looking it to it how my heart wants to look at it I love this drama and will always recommend anyone to watch it

the actors had great chemistry and they were very cute too
I know that the actors don't have a friendship as of now but I am happy that patpran will always have a great relationship in my mind........
and I really really loved our Sky 2 bad buddy
even though I did feel like in our Sky 2 the characters seem to be a little distant and their chemistry had gone little low

I think this is one of the best bl's made and I will always come back to this for ever

and I hope that you will enjoy this drama too

My most re-watched show

The mains do a fantastic job, their chemistry is off the charts, and the story is great. Personally I wasn't a fan of how the show ended but it doesn't effect my overall rating of the show. The heartfelt moment after they realize their feelings for each other was beautiful. They should have won all the awards right there. The supporting cast was really good too. I loved seeing good supportive friendships rather than people just there with the label "friend" and not really contributing anything other than comic relief. If I actually cared about being one of those BL couple fanatics, this show would have made me their fan.

the characters have crazy chemistry

it was a great show, totally recommend it! Both acting of the main characters is very good!! The storyline itself is cute and funny. I love how they overcome their selves in order to love each other. it’s very sweet. I wish for everyone to find a live like theirs!!! it’s such an awesome show, they got me writing a review and I never do that. Freaking amazing work, congrats to the story writer, the director and all the stuff that worked on this show. Also I’m going to say it again, one of the best acting ever!

Rodzice nie pozwalają na wzajemną znajomość Pata i Prana

Film był wciągający.
Smutne jest to że ich rodziny są złe na sobie nawzajem i muszą się ukrywać z przyjaźnią a później miłością .Ale udaje im się przechytrzyć swoich rodziców i koniec końców są razem ze sobą (powiedzieli rodzicom i niektórym znajomym ,że zrywają ze sobą) .❤️
Uwielbiam scenę gdy Pat i Pran są w pokoju i tulą się do siebie i w pewnym momencie puka do nich Korn i pyta się czemu tak długo Patowi zaszło pójść otworzyć drzwi .?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First Episode

It fell short of depth. The motivation was not substantially established. BL has already evolved so much but this seems has not improved- maybe because of the director. What is obvious in thus episode is that, it just meant to make you focus on the actors but not on their characters and the story. (very much like brightwin in the 2gether the series). Hype was more on the actors. Chemistry of the characters (not the actors) seem forced too. Nevertheless, this is just the Fist Episode, let’s give this series a chance!

A beautiful, funny, wild ride

I love this show with my whole soul. It made me cry soooo much in the best way and omg. PAT! Their love is beautiful and the generational trauma is realll. The last episode had me crying like a baby even though it ended hopefully. also the product placement was insane, tho usually forwarded the plot which was v impressive!

This was the third BL show I ever watched and ??? wow I don't know if I'll ever find one I love more.

The Kiss and Everything Else

Rated = 6 ~ 25/50 ~ 5
RPG Scene // A flurry of fairies surrounding me on mountain pass and dazzling me with their twinkling lights, that I drop my battle axe down the ravine. Damn.

If there is one thing I can praise this show on is the kiss scene. They took the time to build up the feels and then let it explode into a really passionate kiss. I appreciate that and I actually rewatched it a few times. So points.

This is unfortunately one of those shows for me where it starts off fine, then gets super tense for that kiss scene, and then just kind of trails off eventually to basically being back to where they started from.
I found, for the most part, one half of the pair annoying. I don't like the 'jock, always in your face' type characters because he's basically just annoying his crush until he relents. I dont find that endearing.
The friends were the usual, barely thinking characters we usually get unless there's drama to be created.
I can understand the parents at war with each other but the Uni as well, I felt like were always pitting the two faculties together which, honestly for me, felt a little dumb. Why would a social setting do that and then complain when fights break out? Wha?
By ep 9 I was skipping because I just wanted it to end.
The ending, I can deal with. I guess it's somewhat realistic but at the same time, also feels a bit stupid. Perhaps it was more just simply how it was written that feels a bit of silly.

Ultimately, the Kiss was great, 10/10, I gave a whole extra point for it but I'm unlikely to rewatch the show.

First Episode: Wow.

This is my first time reviewing a series here. And Bad Buddy? Met my expectations. After the first episode, I just found myself in my bed, screaming and blushing so hard. This is just the first episode, I know. We'll see...

Here are the cons and pros for me.

Pros: A well-mixed comedy and a serious one.
: Fast flashbacks/backstories. That was a good one.

Cons: The problem with the GMMTV premiere of the first cut of the first episode (EP.1, 1/4). A bit disappointed. We could have enjoyed watching the episode with the comments on it.

Just not interesting...

"Bad Buddy" really wasn't attention-grabbing. I watched the first episode, started the second episode, and decided to drop it. It's another "Romeo and Juliet" remake, with an enemies-to-lovers trope, I guess. It doesn't seem bad, but it doesn't seem original enough to really enjoy. The characters weren't really that interesting, though there did seem to be potential. The jokes weren't very funny. The brawls felt cliche. There's not much more to say. Maybe this would be good to watch if one is bored or is new to BL, but it really doesn't have much going for it. Maybe it was overhyped.

It was ok but not good Bl Series!!

3/10

Negative:

1. A lovescene that wasnt really a Lovescene. It was very disappointing.
2. The Series implementation was not so good in many parts. After episode 6 it became boring.
3. Not much was shown of the Maincouple. Just 2 Kisses and No Lovescenes.
4. It would have been really nice if Pran had been more open to accepting Pat's kisses. He resisted too much, which ruined the mood.


Positive:

1. Maincouple.
2. Acting was good.
3. One Kiss from Maincouple (Epi. 5) was so good.
