Best BL out there!
I waited over 10 months for this show. I rewatched the teaser a thousand times and wondered if it would turn out as amazing as it looked. It turned out to be even better! I'm still shaking and teary-eyed from the last episode but I feel the need to write a review to the most impactful BL of my life (and I've watched many others, since 2018),
While watching the last episode I thought to myself "If this show manages to surprise me once again and not be like other shows once again, I'll give it 10 stars for sure." And that's exactly what happened! Amazing, coherent and satisfying until the very last minute. P'Aof worked really hard on the plot and the storytelling in this series and it shows. The way each episode progressed always made so much sense, and it all seemed to tie up at the end, like a complete circle! This made the story much more enjoyable than any other BL I've watched so far. Simply lovely. Even though the first few episodes gave the impression this series would be like other GMMTV shows, full of petty and out of the blue fights and exaggerated sound effects, it progressed beautifully and got better and better, even when we all thought it wasn't possible. And the dialogues are super memorable and iconic. To sum up, it was written perfectly!
Of course I couldn't not mention the holders of the best chemistry in this industry: OhmNanon. These two were made to act beside one another. The way they connected on-screen and off-screen is one of the best things that happened in 2021 (and hopefully, it will continue to be that way forever). PatPran are amazing characters as they are, both are relationship and maturity goals, and completely different from other BL characters we had known before. But I believe they wouldn't be the same if they weren't portrayed by Ohm and Nanon, who are some of the best actors in Thailand right now, and who go together like bacon and eggs (this analogy wouldn't work for vegan readers, I'm really sorry). They delivered every single line and unspoken line with so much truth and love for the story and the characters that it made me emotional in pretty much every episode. I had never seen two men portray a romantic relationship so comfortably and accurately, so it was really touching and refreshing. I believed every stare, every dialogue, every smile and every tear, every touch and every kiss. I really hope they can work together again (which they will! Thanks GGMTV), and hopefully work again as a romantic pair. This is the type of pairing that comes once in five years, if I'm being completely honest. And trust me, it's been 5 years since my first BL series and nothing comes even close to Ohm and Nanon's chemistry.
I adored watching this show as it was airing and freaking out with everyone on Twitter. I will always be part of this fandom and I know I'll be rewatching this series from time to time, even if we don't get another season or another OhmNanon show together as lovers. Unforgettable and forever in my heart. A literal icon and the cultural reset the BL industry needed. The standards are so high right now thanks to Bad Buddy! And I can't help but look forward to what the following years will bring us, as the result of this one show. Deserving of 10 stars.
But for real though... who is gonna come get us out of this rooftop???? It's getting dark... Help?? Shall we just stay here? Yep... let's just stay!
