Bad Buddy (2021)

First Episodes Worth Watching. Good Scenes and Distracting Elements

After the 6th episode, the series acted as if it was the 2nd season, but this is not the main problem. In the second half of the series, it started to repeat every event and scene that was beautiful in the first half in a more mediocre way. If I had to, I would only watch the first 1-6 episodes because they are worth watching. There are some very beautiful scenes that stay in my mind, I love this series for those scenes (room fight and lift etc.).


Since I watched less scenes of Pat's retarded, unevolved friends, whom I hated and fast-forwarded their scenes, I am examining the series from the more BL part. Again, these unnecessary people were tolerable in the first episodes, hated in the middle, and towards the end it seemed that normalisation had begun. I didn't watch the continuation anyway

Tavsiyeye gerek yok, BL dünyasında zaten bu puanı almış bir yapımı izleyin. Herkesin bildiğini bilmemek ayıp olur.

For all the hopeless romantics, this is an absolute treat.

For all the hopeless romantics, this series is an absolute treat, delivering a heartwarming experience.

In the beginning, I expected another cliche and not properly thought-out university drama. Been overdone now, but I carried on. While reading this review of Bad Buddy 2021, keep in mind that I started watching this movie expecting it to have a lot of NC scenes (No Children scenes).

Bad Buddy was a generally great series, the actors did a good job in bringing the characters to life. It has the power to make you burst into laughter, shed a few tears, and even feel like dancing around the room.

Firstly, the acting is truly commendable, with the cast delivering impressive performances. What sets it apart is how genuine the reactions and physical interactions feel; there's a naturalness to their chemistry that never comes across as awkward or forced. The relationship depicted in the series steers clear of toxic dynamics. Instead, it keeps you engaged and wanting more.

Pat brought sugar and fun to Pran's uptight character. Pat was the comedian of the duo. And I think they had one of the most beautiful kiss scenes I've seen in a Bl series(Pat and Pran's first kiss)

If you're like me who starts certain BL series with NC expectations, perish that thought because, on a scale of 5, this series is at 0.5 with the steamy content but is 4 out of 5 stars in general. This is a 4 because while it's an overall great performance, I refused to see the hype behind this Bl series and in my books, I've watched better like Kinnporshe, and even The Eclipse.

Maybe my opinion is biased because these series that I consider better than Bad Buddy are more recent and the industry has progressed.

Also, I still found bits of this series cringe, and the plot is not very new. It is still another university BL drama but was just executed better.

All in all, I do recommend it.

MAJESTIC. JUST MAJESTIC

One of those cliché stories where your initial expectation was it'll be bad. But because it was well-written, directed, acted and produced, you just see yourself, engrossed and smiling every segment of each episode. Never a dull moment. From the OST, Cinematography, Acting, etc. Everything...just beautiful. Amplified by the superb acting and chemistry of Ohm and Nanon, I’m just in love with this series. It keeps getting better each episode. Probably the only BL series I haven't had a complaint thus far. Brilliant<3 <3 <3 And I cant wait to get crushed and cry my heart out by ep 8-11 and be revived by it’s majestic ending. I’m sure Backaof won’t disappoint. But I maybe wrong.

Great acting, Typical Storyline

The 2 actors acting are great! What adds to it is they fantastic chemistry. Other than EarthMix, they are the one that I felt with really good on-screen interaction in a series. What's lacking is the story line. To be honest, we dont have to finish the series to know what is going to happen the next few episodes. The story is probably going to be like the other BL drams that we have watched - i would say something along the lines of Kiss Me Again. However, i think it's already performing better than Tonhon Chonlatee and Fish Upon The Sky though :)

But will i be watching though? Yes. I think it still serves as a good entertainment value with high rewatch value - easy to watch and have fun on a friday night.

Wow !!!What A Chemistry ?

This series is so enjoyable to watch because of the two main leads ( Ohm & Nanon ) . Simple story line but never get bored.
All the supporting casts are doing a great jobs as well. Director knows how to sell his stories to audiences.
I love the acting , directing , script, OST …. Everything so far so good.
Overall, one of the best series of 2021.

From Just Friends to Cannot Be Just Friends

Superb acting from Ohm and Nanon! Especially with Nanon and his little nuances, both deliver outstanding expression with just through their eyes, it will get you immersed in their enemies to lovers relationship.

The direction is flawless with the comedic moments executed not over the top and the romantic scenes leaving you in awe and amazement.

I love the part where they introduce conflict in the form of family and friends. The problem with friends is that they can never catch a break with the college rivalry having to be battle it out in almost anything. The family conflict goes deep-rooted though and them being actual neighbors does not help the relationship at all! They have history and the way the series establishes it is not some form of a random placement but rather creating a narrative that the audience can easily follow through as the series progresses.

I cannot wait till the romance arc, of which I am confident Ohm and Nanon can pull through! Simply the Best BL series of 2021!

one of GMMTV best…

I absolutely love this BL…like there is nothing bad to say about it. Even though the plot is simple, it had a twist on it to make it more appealing and interesting. I love the main couple since this relationship has so much character and chemistry so it makes it more enjoyable. Especially when it was airing, after every episode I felt like I always wanted more and couldn’t wait until the next episode. I also love that it has a GL element to the story, since at the time, GMMTV never really had that element before. The ending was really interesting and went beyond what I could’ve expected or imagined. It was really good and definitely one of my favs from GMMTV. I wish we could see more of OhmNanon since this is their one and only BL series together. They had so much chemistry and potential but I respect them and any decisions they made.

ALL THE BL FEELS NONE OF THE TOXICITY

Do yourself a favour and watch this series. Why?
1) the acting and chemistry of the leads is not just the one of the best I've seen in any BL romance but ANY Romance I've seen. Their interplay and dialogues are so natural it doesnt feel contrived at all!
2) it subverts all thr cliches of thai bls. Minus being yet another engineering/architecture college series none of what happens feels tired or steroetypical.
3) the script is just beautifully done. We seemlessly go from a heartfelt emotional moment to a funny one tk a serious one to romantic one with ease. It doesnt feel stitled or forced at any point.
4) there's a strong sense of agency in all the characters they all feel fleshed out
5) the communication and genuine affection we see between the characters and their friends. It's sometimes takes a bit to get there but the MLs truly want to be together and want the best for each other as do their friends.
6) THE ACTING AND CHEMISTRY OF THE LEAD AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS JUST THAT GOOD.
I was smiling throughout watching this Pat and Pran feel like people i know and will stay with me a long time.
