NOT YOUR TYPICAL BL SERIES - FULL OF CULTURAL BACKGROUND AND WISDOM
I have been in BL series for more than 7 years and finally got a series that could make me excited again. The story sure looks cliche and shallow but the team successfully twist and fills it with wisdom. They aren't only talking about LGBTQ+ but also relationship parents-children, Asian Culture (which I found interesting because it might confuse Westerners viewers lol) .I won't talk about the acting and chemistry because both Ohm and Nanon have proven themselves as great actors in their other series. What I like the most about this series is how fluid all characters are. They are not living in a rigid tradition like other BL Series. Their life is not black and white. They did awful things, chose bad decisions, manipulative but also someone best friend and guardian, so I can’t really see them as a villain. It really adds a new dimension to the characters which makes them more human, like us and I enjoy their company so much for the past 3 months.
I also write about Pat & Pran's parent background story on my blog https://fanindisguise.blogspot.com/2022/01/bad-buddy-series-review-what-happened.html, feel free to read it. However, it contains a major spoiler, read it at your own risk.
To summarize, this series is like West Side Story without dancing and a dying character at the end.
Worth spending your time binge-watching this series.
