basic story line done right

I have NEVER written a review while a show was airing. I would usually wait for all episodes to be released and for it to be finished airing. But I personally NEED to tell people to watch this show, even though it's still in the process of airing.

Bad Buddy is about two boys who basically had no choice but to hate each other from birth. Their families have been hating each other ever since a certain incident. So, the mains, Pat and Pran. Have been "enemies" ever since birth. They never thought of being friends once in their lifetime. Does the plot sound basic? Yes. But does it mean it's bad? No. Basic plots can be good and amazing if it's done right. And with Bad Buddy, they've done it amazing.
The mains Pat and Pran are funny together! hilarious I could even say! I laugh at least every episode! Or most. Bad Buddy will have you CRAVING for the next episode. It'll be on your mind 24/7.

Now to the acting. I've personally never seen Ohm or Nanon in any drama I've watched. But just from this, they're official on my favorite actors list! I would go more in depth into why they're there but that would contain spoiler. I personally a certain episode will make a click go into your head. To see that they're acting is superb. The side characters aren't stargazing but Ohm and Nanon just make the whole acting category a 10.

Music? Hmmm, never really thought about it? It blends good in the background though! I haven't noticed a soundtrack that was terrible.

If you're thinking to past this because you're too busy or the time length is long for me. Do, NOT skip this! I literally just put this show on my list on a wimp, I didn’t think it would be THIS amazing! This is one of the bl's that would make your heart explode with cute/sweet/wholesome moments!

Fun to Watch

This drama is actually not bad, simple and fun to watch rom-com with lots of kissing scenes from a pair of lovey-dovey couple out of an arranged marriage (ML fall in love with FL even before the arrangement). The story evolves from a small town in Fuchun where FL was forced into marrying into a wealthy family by her stepmom with high dowry.

ML is the wealthiest merchant in tea empire and is down to investigate the mystery of his father's death and accidentally met FL who lives a living by selling her homemade dessert. The dessert made by the FL is so mouth watering that it later gained recognition by the royal family.

Besides being wealthy and has good martial art skill, ML in the drama is so charm that he attracted many highly obsessive love rivals (3 nobles + 1 princess) trying to win his heart and keep the couple apart.

Believed that if the cast were by some famous ML & FL, the rating for this drama will definitely be somehow higher.

written after episode 4 ~

FIND ME IF YOU CAN REVIEW:

This webdrama, even though it's not finished yet has exceeded my expectations already. Honestly I try to lower my expectation when it comes to webdramas because some web dramas, given that it is filmed for a short time and the duration of the drama is short, tends to be lackluster in the storyline and production. Before the first episode of Find Me If You Can, I already had a higher expectation from other webdramas because of the teaser. The teaser is so well done and it really incite curiosity to the viewers, it promised a not so typical romance drama but an exciting romance-thriller and that really excites me making me look forward to it.



We're now on episode 4 and as I said, it has exceeded my expectations already and it still keeps me up on my toes, excited for more. Every episode so far gives us a right amount of comedy, drama, romance and mystery, every episode feels so short but i feel satisfied every single time and deep inside i just want to ask for longer episodes to see my favorite characters on screen more.:)



Shim Soon Jeong - I really love her character, we've been given glimpses of her past and I think it plays a huge part as to how she grown up to be the strong independent woman she is at present. I love how she's not letting the thought of having 3 guys liking her get to her head but it still nice to see her moments of appreciating the love flood like what we saw on episode 2 because yes girl you are so beautiful and likable, no wonder those 3 guys are head over heels for you. Park Bo Yeon Actress really does a great job in delivering this character.

Yoo Goo Gyeol - The ex, having an ex in the same company is yes, such a pet peeve. Especially if said ex is still not over you and wanted to win you back. It is still not clear on why these two broke up but from their interactions, Soon Jeong is clear on not wanting to get back with him and that whatever it is between them is all in the past. There's no rule an ex shouldn't try to get back with an ex but there's something about him that gives me the creeps, the way he turns on and off whenever Soon Jeong is with him or not. There's so many red flags and it could point to him being the stalker but there are scenes which makes me doubt it. He's still creepy to me tho, stalker or not. Han Gi Chan plays him so well too.
Seol Yoo Hwan - Ah, the long time friend who fell in love. In episode 2, we were given a glimpse as to when he started liking Soon Jeong and it seems like they were still high school students then, if that's the case he's been liking her for such a long time that I wonder what drove him to finally confess it at present. Anyway, 4 episodes in and he's the most innocent looking one amongst the three, like he's just such a ball of sunshine that just wanted to make Soon Jeong happy but I feel like Soon Jeong really just sees him as a friend and I'm scared he might get his heart broken in the end-- that is, if he's not the stalker. The only thing that makes me think he's the stalker is because everytime something happens to Soon Jeong he is nowhere to be seen or atleast on more than one instance like the bathroom one and the commotion in this episode. MJ is the perfect actor to bring this character to life, our sunshine.
Choi Jeong Sang - Jeong Sang SUPERSTAR, out of the three he seems to be the most serious in wooing soon jeong. I've been waiting for a calm interaction between the two wherein soon jeong won't shout or beat Jeong Sang and we finally got it on episode 4. Also, out of the three he doesn't have that past connection with soon jeong. I'm really curious about his character, he's always the one that immediately shows up whenever 4860 contacts or do something to soon jeong so i wonder is this a way the writer wants to hint he is 4860 or is he a bait to make the audience think it's him but it's really not. Anyway, I love how we see more depth in his character in this episode, a hint from his past and a soon jeong who starts to see beneath his facade. oh god that car scene.<333 The chemistry between Jeong Sang and Soon Jeong is so strong. They make me smile. I have a strong feeling he's not the stalker and could be the endgame for soon jeong but we'll see. Rocky as Choi Jeong Sang, LOVE. IT. this is his first main lead drama? a rookie actor? for his delivery of this character, saying i'm PROUD is an understatement. What a great actor, I wouldn't be surprised to see more acting opportunities come his way after this.



Supporting characters like the Manager and Soon Jeong's friend are great too and I am also suspiscious of them as the stalker. I love how this story is executed, one episode you can point one character to be the stalker and make you doubt it the next. It's true to the genre, it's very thrilling. Great writing, Great actors, beautiful cinematography and directing, this with only 4 episodes, halfway, in. I'm having high expectations for the remaining ones, looking forward to see how the story will unfold. Great job Find Me If You Can Team! Thank You for your hard work.



I wonder if there will be OSTs by MJ or Rocky for this drama. I hope there will be :)

Bad Buddy is a MUST WATCH!!

This series is a must watch!!! So far everything about the series is so good and the chemistry between Ohm and Nanon is excellent. After watching episode 5, It's safe to say that is definitely my favorite BL of the year, it's might even become my favorite Thai BL of all time. I'm a big fan of Ohm and Nanon so I thought I might be a bit biased towards the show, but after seeing everyone's positives reactions, I know I'm not overreacting by saying this show is very good. If the series continues to be as good as it has been especially after the seeing the mind- blowing episode 5, I will be so happy. If you're reading this I definitely think you should give this series a chance and watch it.

Plotless Society

Overall: It started off with a bang but quickly deteriorated. I yelled "noooooo" several times while watching in disgust at the poor writing. This is deja vu of The Cupid Coach. It says the story will continue but I sincerely hope not.

Content Warnings: non con/dub con turned consensual?

What I Liked:
- well the beginning was definitely an attention grabber and rarely seen in BL, but this ended up feeling like click bait
- I liked that they gave the episode an English title (Ambiguous) because I've rarely seen that in Thai BL
- acting was ok, the female friend was my favorite

Room For Improvement:
- it was both slow and very choppy, scenes sometimes jumped ahead time wise to another scene, they didn't feel well connected to one another. That ending was awful, it just skipped/jumped with zero context.
- nonsense plot, how Guy treated/behaved towards Nut made absolutely no sense especially at the end
- Nut's friend should not have kissed him in Nut's vulnerable/distraught state
- I did not feel chemistry between actors
- the camera work is lower budget/amateur
- though I liked the style of the subtitles, they do have a few errors (pretty sure that his boss isn't his mom and that was supposed to be ma'am)
- the sound was pretty quiet, I had to turn my computer volume all the way up

Has it's bad and good sides to it

For starters, this drama is very unique and different from reality shows that I have seen. I really like the overall theme of finding love and seeing if that person will accept you based on your dark secret. I have never seen a reality show ever that has the same theme as this which made me enjoy the drama. But-

I really hated the hosts specifically the male host. They made so many insensitive jokes to people throughout the drama which anger you. At first, it wasn't bad but it gets worse throughout the nine episodes.

The double standards of slut-shaming women even though a man did a similar thing and isn't called a slut is ridiculous. They made tons of transphobic jokes and rape jokes. They just in general have many insensitive jokes which I don't find funny. Unbelievable even. Mainly, I skipped every part with the hosts because it was painful to watch their insensitive jokes every two seconds.

Another thing that I also didn't like is that they kept a wardrobe malfunction in the beginning, they could have edited it out. It just made me uncomfortable seeing how they treated the women throughout the series. It's honestly sickening and disgusting,

Would I recommend this? Probably not. Would I rewatch this? Probably not. Is it worth your time? If you get past the insensitive jokes and how annoying the hosts are maybe you can enjoy it. Plus the revealing of the secrets makes things interesting.

#Letsgetdrunk!

Perfect in every single way.

I went into this drama absolutely blind - i saw Eun Ji (who i love since R97) and “female friends drinking alcohol” and i thought to myself: this might be nice. And it was not JUST nice. It was perfect. In a span of 12 unusually short episodes, this drama managed to fulfill each and every single of my drama desires/needs.

STORY - the concept of 3 friends vs. the world is not unique. We’ve all seen at least 5 dramas with such theme. But why WLDN feels so good and refreshing?! Most of the issues the main leads go through are not new but the way our main leads carry though the mishaps is so much fun. The writer wasnt afraid to explore harder topics (though oftentimes only marginally or very nonverbally) like depression, lgbt, sex, harassment, patriarchy… this might seem like an explosive/too stacked mix but it was executed quite well in my opinion. And the dialogues were so good!
The drama started with very hilarious and bizarre comedy (imo on par with Chief Kim and Pegasus Market) and then it suddenly slipped into drama with very serious topics. The transition felt almost seamless.

CHARACTERS - at first, the main leads seemed very one-dimensional - weirdo Ji Goo, beauty Ji Yeon, worcoholic So Hee, creep Kang PD. But oh boy, do they all have LAYERS. And such beautiful and interesting layers to boot!
Ji Yeon is one of the most interesting and funny characters i've seen in a drama these days. So unapologetically feminine and over the top. So Hee and her endless inner (and outer) battle with her feelings. And jI Goo - seemingly so strong on the outside but in fact very vulnerable, too. Despite some of their character traits being overexaggerated for entertainment purposes, all of them feel like real complex women who are able to be both strong and weak, emotional, rational and irrational... And their friendship is something so beautifully written and perfectly acted by all 3 main leads!

OTHER ASPECTS - visually, this drama was so much fun - be it cute outfits for all main leads, nice coloring of the scene/shot, or the food/alcohol aspect of the drama. I am no expert in the field of camera technique, but i quite enjoyed the camera movement. idk…i didnt pay much attention to ost (cause the drama was stacked in other departments) but all the main leads sang a song for this drama and the songs are pretty good!

CONCLUSION - i love this drama so much. I found the finale a little … lacking but i suppose they are hoping for season 2. The rewatch value is high for this drama - especially early episodes when the characters are only showing their layers and the comedy is just perfect. With this drama i cried both - happy and sad tears (I actually shed so many different types of tears!) so it seems like it will be perfect for a rewatch during the time when one needs to unwind so many emotions. I had a really great time watching WLDN and it gave me all sorts of warm and fluffy feelings!

Highly recommend!

We are only at episode 5 and I already fell in love with this show. I didn't know what to expect at the beginning, but Bad Buddy surprised me in a good way. Nanon and Ohm are both great actors and it shows. They portray Pat and Pran so good, sometimes it doesn't even feel like they're acting. They have a fantastic chemistry. I hope we see them both together in another series (doesn't have to be bl) again. All I can say is that Bad Buddy already belongs to my favourite Thai Bls and it's not even finished yet.

So overall 9.5 out of 10 because there are still 7 episodes left:)

We Need More of Hapiness With a Season 2

We need to watch more of that chemistry of the main characters including the love life of the Yi Hyun and Sae beom. Their acting is at another level, I really enjoyed watching this series it has more potential than the dramas airing with it, even the apartment people portrayed their character well and good they really made us love and hate them.

The apartment representative is really getting on my nerves, Oh Ju Young too.

We really need to watch more of this.
The drama is very well written and the editing and FX are really good, And the OST are in my playlist.

must watch college / friendship drama !!

i randomly saw this on my recommended videos and im so glad i checked it out ! i loved this series a lot, it shows the realities that (most) students go through during uni/college , it shows friendship, love, rejections, family relationships, dealing with grief, financial concerns, exam stress, parental pressure and following your dreams… the cast was amazing and each of the 4 main girls got their own moments to focus on them, it wasnt just focused on one of them! each character went through positive character development.. although arguably langlang didnt fully get to achieve this, regardless i enjoyed the ending and think it was well done! all in all i recommend this to anyone looking for a light drama which doesnt only focus on one area! though be mindful that episode 18 may be hard to watch if you are emotional with family death.

A classic to watch without worrying~

✨classic, very good, just watch this without worrying and the cast is so impressive! ❤️? (the villain psycho character is really horrific omg and do bong soon is an unforgettable character?) love the couple minmin&bongbong ?? tbh i watched this for the couple more than the story (i don't really like the dark story that gives bad tones to the rom-com type of that drama) they have a great chemistry between them!

I see them more than a relation "actors only". That their roles aren't just roles to play and that's what I like about the cast in general. Its seen that they had fun and that they are close even irl✨(i know they aren't a real couple, but if it was, they would be so cute together ❤️❤️)

btw the story is mixed ... From thriller to rom-com like in a shojo ... I didn't like it too much but the character was worth it tbh ?‍♀️

A must watch for those who love romantic comedies

Why I didn't this drama a 10? I usually reserve a 10 for those dramas that have a unique story and are memorable. This drama will be "memorable" but the story was not unique enough to be a 10. Thus.. a 9.5 rating.

Overall, I couldn't find many faults with this drama, as long as a viewer, one is willing to overlook minor flaws such as recanting of previous stories and side plots that feel like a time filler.

This drama had a flavor of "Encounter". I loved the "artistic" aspect of this drama and especially how the ending of a scene was framed as brush strokes of a painting.,, Sort of a constant reminder that the drama was about a museum.

In many dramas the comedic part is usually at the beginning and lasts for few episodes. Then the usual conflict take over as our heroes work out the issues. In this case, the comedy was sprinkled throughout the drama till the end and was unique and clever from my perspective.

I loved the Dali character. She maintained her composure no matter what situation was thrown at her. I also loved the sexual tension present between FL & ML. Personally, I thought this drama was mature enough to address the nature of sexual relations in very nice comedic manner. In general, other dramas tend to handle the topic of sex like a teenager.

MooHak did a fantastic job of showing vulnerable and yet sensitive side to his nature. He was clear.. i.e money is money and love is love. He wasn't afraid to admit that he was stupid and poked fun at himself. For example.. my favorite line: Capitol of India ... Indonesia.

I can write pages of analysis on this drama... But the biggest take way.. comedy balanced the heaviness of Dali. Uneducated people showed more class than so called rich people with class.

Spoiler Alert and skip this paragraph if you are not ready!! I was annoyed and yet pleased that the writer/director did not follow the usual pattern of a breakup followed by a makeup. Although the writer/director led us to believe this trope was happening but it was handled in some more accepting ways and consistent with the story line. So.. I forgive the writer/director for this flagrant violation of playing with our emotions.

Please watch this drama and go to bed with a smile having spent time being entertained till the end!!

Until next time... be well.

I would recommend this drama to young children up to high-schoolers. It's overall a really light watch, that doesn't require heavy thinking and is aimed at younger audiences.

Although the plot is kind of ridiculous, the actors themselves are actually good.

I mean, even with the schooling system in South Korea, there's no way the students, parents, teachers, news reporters and the whole country would stay quiet if so many students of the same school killed themselves one by one, no matter if they were all bottom of the school when did it. No parent would sent their kid to such a school, no matter how prestigious it was. This would quickly come to the attention of the public. Plus there's no way the police wouldn't find anything suspicious after the 3rd consecutive "suicide", not to mention the following ones. And before they'd even start to investigate things, they'd first shut the school down.
A few more unresolved/open to question aspects are that 1. the mother of the female lead didn't even come help in the final showdown when her daughter could've died for the sake of the drama plot and 2. we didn't find the original story of the evil spirit. It was hinted that he was maybe a teacher who was obsessed with getting rid of the bad students, but would've been curious to find out more abt him.

Anyway the main leads were really cute. I especially followed Nam Da Reum after he played the child version of the main lead in While You Were Sleeping, and tried this drama because of him.
I only finished the drama, despite how childish it was, because all the actors, main or supporting, were actually good. Plus the episodes were short and I watched them in double speed lol.

Random p.s.: I have to say this short hair doesn't suit Kim Sae Ron at all.

First of all I should say I wasn't in a drama mood at all when I decided to watch this one
So I didn't expect much
But surprise ... It was more than brilliant

Every thing about this drama was amazing
Starting from a strong plot , nice characters written well , smooth story , psychological problems , amazing cute bromance till the romance between both leads


Inspite of having dark side for each character in the drama but it was very funny and joyful
it captures you till the end

I loved every minute watching it

The only thing that bothered me much
That soo hyun was so stubborn like a mule
And I didn't know if he love young ran or mi Joon

I wanted clear end for soo hyun romance life
I wished a lot he ended up with young ran

But he was too rational to get into relationship while he had all these problems
But when you love someone really you can't control yourself
That's why I think he didn't love her more than a friend
Frustrating and so disappointing ???
Highly recommended ❤️❤️❤️
