Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I recently signed up here and thought to watch some shows that are really popular. I was so confused by the fact that I ended up liking quite badly rated shows and not liking the best rated ones. Maybe I should interpret everything in reverseXD

Also just to ease everyone’s mind Bad buddy was not all bad, it was just ”meh” to me. And it had its good aspects as well, the girl couple was lovely and the romantic scenes were shot in pleasant angles. I acknowledge the director did
a good job:)

Hmmm, maybe because the range of stories that can be set at school are quite limited, which make all of them very similar. The characters dynamics have to be really unique or complicated for a school bl to gain my favor. Also I prefer the characters to
be adultsXD

I’m really happy shows centered around LGBT characters are getting more popular. Please continue enjoying BB if it is to your liking, it shows to creators that ppl want more queer content so I’m happy. I was just really surprised as a gay inexperienced to the BL community by the obsession with purity considering that the actual queer community can be pretty darn kinky:D It just seems unfair that BL characters have to be pure and flawless in order to be accepted by fans. Queer ppl can be fucked up tooXD

Yea I was wondering because I have not been watchin Bl that long that maybe Bad buddy got such a good reception because it was better than previous school BLs. In which case gosh I can not go and watch anything pre-2020:D

Also it’s important to have media literacy and not take everything that is portrayed at face-value or truth. It is not the job of content creators to educate people, we need to be able to distinguish right from wrong ourselves. People who are not mature enough to do that should limit their media consumption.

Just like you I don’t see the issue here as Kuea is in love with Hia and basically begging for his attention. Me and my girlfriend kiss sometimes when we are drunk. Kissing is just kissing for god’s sake. I feel like people hold BL characters to some impossible standards man:D

Kuea obviously likes being ”naughty” and Lisn playfully indulges him.

Finally, before sex scene Lian confirmed that Kuea was not drunk and told him to tell him immediately if he is not okay. What more could he do? The kink in this was extremely mild to the point that I don’t think safe words are needed. If they start getting into spanking of something maybe then😂

To sum it up Kuea obviously enjoyed being a naughty brat and Lian didn’t mind being an indulgent daddy:D

This is what I mean when I say that people like to throw around the word ”toxic” for any relationship that is not just plain vanilla (as an asexual person I find this especially funny since people expect ace people to shy away from sexual topics, which is far from the case)The only sex scene we saw on cutie pie (between lian and kuea)was one of the most explicitly consensual ones ever in BL history, and even
if it wasn’t I wouldn’t mind because not all relationships portrayed in media need to be textbook ”healthy”. Some people actually enjoy power dynamics . Hia lian and kuea are fictional characters and grown men, they can take care of themselves and don’t need rescuing or whatever people are trying to do. Also Kuea was a fantastic sub in my opinion as he was not a doormat and gradually gained more and more agency in the relationship. And also equating dom/sub dynamics and kink with
toxic is deeply problematic , as well as seeing sexual coercion where there was none.

Posting this here as well because it seems that I accidentally upset BB fans, which was not my intention and I apologize.

guess that what always suprises me since I (an asexual homoromantic girl)started watching BL last year is that many fans tend to rate a show based on how ”helathy” the relationship portrayed is instead the actual quality. So kind of like projecting in the sense the person watching rates the show highly if the relationship portrayed would be ideal to them personally in real life. So I basically got the feeling that people like Bad buddy because it portrays ”an ideal healthy relationship” , whereas shows with more morally gray characters (such as cutie pie and kinnporsche)get instantly slammed for not being ”healthy” from the start. I guess I just had some pent-up frustration about the moral police in the BL fandom and the situation with Bad buddy/cutie pie/kinnporsche reminded me of this. But I really do apologize if I hurt anyone’s feelings, I’m Finnish so my language might bee too direct in English😂

Sorry about the rant, I guess I just had some pent-up frustration about the moral police in the BL fandom and after watching Bad buddy with high expectations due to its populariry and being disappointed I could not help but be reminded of this.

Sorry, my intention was not to imply anything about BB fans. I could have worded myself better.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Fantastic dom/sub dynamics and a little bit of kink on the part of Hia Lian and Kuea. Superb cinematography and music. Also the LGBT statements❤️10/10 from me. I feel like I need to counter the insane amount of not so good reviews this has got. I don’t understand how this and Kinnporsche get so much hate but quite bland and mediocre shows like Bad Buddy get all the praise. Everyone’s got their taste I guess.

The show was not bad per se but not worth the hype in my opinion. I was pretty bored to be honest, but maybe that is because school BLs aren’t really my thing. Loved the GL side couple but PatPran made me feel nothing. The character of Pran did not impress me,maybe cause I don’t like Nanon all that much. Despite giving his all to portraying a gay character he’s just got this straight fuckboy vibe I cannot seem to ignore😅Also I felt that the characters were too pure and sanitized to the point of being one-dimensional. I would have liked the family feud to have more focus. Props to the director tho and good music. Please don’t kill me for not loving thisXD
