IS THE PERFECT BL’S EXIST ?

You think that a perfect BL doesn’t exist. That was me before I started watching this one. Bad Buddy The Series is indescribable. The acting, the storyline, the ost, the chemistry and everything that revolves around this series is insane. The storyline is fresh and it’s not something we’ve seen before. The kisses scenes are way too real to be call just acting. This relationship describes this quotes: he fell first but he fell harder. Can we be friday forever ? 10/10 WE NEED MORE BL WITH NANON AND OHM 🤍

Best bl series ever. Worth to watch

If you’re looking for the best chemistry between the actors. Then here it is. Bad buddy series will give you the best experience for bl series. They are good kisser too. The plot of the story is really really good. Everything is perfect. This series is definitely deserve an award . And i hope i can see ohm and nanon play in the next bl series again . Maybe they can remake “ dakaretai otoko” or maybe some psychology thriller genre with a happy ending. Hahaha I’m so sorry because their acting is really is d*mn good . I have no word left. I just want to keep praising them. My wish is i hope i can see them play bl series/movies again, and I’m pretty sure they will play it well too. They will nailed it

A Must Watch BL

I have just finished this BL for the 2nd time & it was worth revisiting. Second time around I really appreciated how both male leads were able to emote so perfectly. It seemed like the whole series came at the perfect moment, perfect cast, perfect story & director knew what was up. It displayed so well how young adults react to situations, I hope some young person sees this & it helps them. I love the way the couple's romance grew slowly & realistically overtime. I also give props to the story writer & developer because they kept it real. Not all persons are accepting and it is not very true to depict life any other way.
What I despise about BL's in general - they ship the actors as couples in real life WHY they are actors it is acting. That maybe a reason why these good actors have issues with one another after the success of their series. When your job is done go home to your RL instead of making them pretend fiction is RL. just to please some disillusioned fan & to drain every dime you can from the fans through lying. I feel this series will stand the test of time & I think that Ohm & Nanon did some of the best acting I have seen in a BL. Loved it

Give it a try! One of best enemy to lover trope!

[Just watch it guys! Some will like it, some will dislike but give it a go!! ] 🤗

First of all, Bad buddy has an interesting storyline but what makes it amazing was their cast acting. Nanon & Ohm are great actors that able to convey the feels through their eyes, action & its not awkward at all. Perfect chemistry ✨

Next, about the story, their relationship begin as rivals because of their parent but deep inside Pran & Pat actually has something else going on, although Pat realise a bit late. Pat is really an interesting as a person who is understanding, straight forward & not afraid to speak up. Pran on the other hand has hesitation in terms of building those kind of r/shp & parent's acceptance.

Also, what I love about the show is no necessary third wheel person or the need for ex or something to interrupt their r/shp etc. Its just some misunderstanding but cleared quickly. The boys do bickering all the time but still love each other. I do find its a bit cringe about the fight among architecture & engineering students. Its important for the plot, so I dont mind.

*Spoilers*

The conflict was just a hurdle when the parent & society found out about them. Pat even suggested them to pretend break up but Im glad they didnt for real. Almost cried for real.

So, overall I give 9.5/10 and its one of my top 10 bl series! 💕

The Most Genuinely Honest Love Story Between Two Boys

I'll keep this short and sweet.

I rated this show 10/10 because the acting and the chemistry between the two MCs was out of this world.

I am the type of person who's aware when actors are acting on screen and it often throws me out of the story. But with Pat and Prat, I was so immersed in their story that I believed they are real and actually love each other.

The acting and the humour were incredible.

The story is very well-written. I saw the intelligence in the script and the plot.

We also got a GL side story!

Overall, Bad Buddy had incredible pacing, a great script, and an amazingly believable love story between two talented actors that delivered it perfectly.

Rewatchable!!

It's just worth everything

This is litterally the only series I am actually rewatching and even still feeling deeply into it. Just for every single detail that i like to notice again, the music that litteraly makes my heart beat faster, everything. It's just a series that you can't miss if you like romance and drama, not just bl, it is pretty educative and endearing for anyone out there wanting to see some true love. When iI watch Bad Buddy, i know what true love feels like again.
I just would recommend this to anyone, just give it a try, it's worth it. :)

Bad Buddy Made Me a BL Fan, Period

Okay, I know I’m super late to the party, but I finally watched Bad Buddy, and now I get why everyone’s been raving about it. It’s totally worth the hype.

This was actually my first Thai BL series, and it immediately hooked me. It became my gateway into the world of BLs (and now I can’t stop watching, lol). One thing I realized: I’m definitely a sucker for enemies-to-lovers tropes, and Bad Buddy delivers that so well.

The storyline is a perfect mix of drama, romance, comedy, and a dash of action, never a dull moment. I loved watching Pran and Pat’s relationship grow, especially all the sneaking around behind their friends' backs. It added just the right amount of tension and humor.

Also, can we talk about OhmNanon’s chemistry? They were so natural together. You can really feel the connection and emotion in their scenes. It didn’t feel forced at all, they were just that good.

Overall, the writing was solid and consistent from start to finish. It’s funny, heartfelt, and truly well-done. Honestly, I wish I had watched this sooner, but better late than never!

GOAT BL. No bl will ever top this one

AHHHHHHHHHHH. SONT EVEN GET ME STARTEDDDDDD.

One of the first bls that i watched and I’m so glad that this exists. Can’t express how much I LOVE THIS DRAMA. It’s TOO GOOD. The STORY, PLOT, THE ACTING, THE CHEMISTY, THE MUSIC. You have to watch if you like watching shows don’t even have to be a bl fan that’s how good it is. Feels real. So much chemistry I felt like I was intruding. Nanon and Ohm are Outstanding actors they have really outdone themselves with this series. P aof really is an amazing director so glad for him. I really fell in love with this series and ship. The music is so good, nanons songs are so raw and real. I’m a sucker for unrequited love and enemies to lovers and friends to lovers and this series is so perfect. I can’t ???. Can’t compare to anything. My number ONE BL SERIES. Best BL ever. I love it so much???
Honestly such a 10/10.. The acting? 100. The story? 100. The music???? 100000😡😡😡😡 the rewatch value?? 10000000😤😤😤. This is prbavly my most rewatched bl. I cannot get enough if it.

If it wasn't for the Episode 6 & 7 this show would have been 10/10 for me.

Just skip episodes 6 & 7 if you want a perfect show.

SPOILERS FROM EPISODE 5, 6 & 7 BELOW

Their emotions are raw and palpable in Episode 5, with Pat expressing his jealousy and frustration at seeing Pran perform their shared song with someone else. Meanwhile, Pran is grappling with his own feelings for Pat, feeling hurt and confused by Pat's ambiguous actions and the false hope they may have given him.

The expression of their feelings for each other is filled with a mix of pain, vulnerability, and an overwhelming desire to be more than just competitors or enemies. It's a heart-wrenching moment where they lay bare their emotions, and the weight of their unspoken affections becomes too much to bear.

The passionate and emotional kiss that follows is a powerful culmination of their shared history and the longing they've both been harbouring. It's a moment of catharsis and release, as they finally confront the truth of their feelings for each other.

In Episode 6, when Pran withdrew himself it was understandable. He realised it was no longer an unrequited feeling, but a mutual feeling with the possibility of the relationship, he had to consider the consequences of their relationship amidst the feuding families. Episode 6 wasn't bad until the very end, where they start the ridiculous game of "whoever confesses first loses."

After witnessing their raw and vulnerable expression of feelings in Episode 5, the focus on a competition to see who will confess first might feel like a step backwards in the development of their relationship. The end of Episode 5, where both Pat and Pran open up about their emotions and share a passionate kiss, was pivotal in personal growth and relationship progression. They bring a sense of closure and authenticity to their connection, allowing them and us to understand the depth of their feelings for each other.

Following such a powerful scene, it's natural to hope that the narrative would continue to explore their relationship in a more meaningful and emotionally resonant way, rather than falling back on a repetitive and less compelling plot device. While "who will confess first" dynamics can create tension and anticipation in certain contexts, using it immediately after such an emotional breakthrough might feel forced and detract from the impact of their expression.

This is plain Bromance

After watching ATOTS, I was super excited for a new series by Aof. The cinematic masterpiece that ATOTS was, it is not surprising to expect the best storyline with heartfelt characters in his next project. The trailer was promising and it had the potential to top the charts. Family enemies, uni enemies turned secret lovers? That's a troupe we all love. Started off quite strong with all the story buildup and chaos, turned to - wait what?

I commend Nanon's acting to beautifully portray his longing and hidden love for Pat. Ohm's acting was good, no doubt. But as an ML? Pursuing Pran as a romantic interest? For the love of god, I hope you know the difference between platonic and romantic love. There were scenes which were clearly intimate that showed the 'romantic' part of it. But majority of the other scenes is just bromancing. Two long lost brothers who were separated at birth and were enemies are now reliving their brotherhood.

I took a pause and kept it on hold for a while to read others' reviews to understand if everyone else felt the same. Not surprisingly this was a hit and no one had shared their thoughts in this light. Started watching it again trying to make the best out of the chemistry shown on the screen but I just couldn't proceed with the portrayal of this supposed romance coming off on the screen as two bickering brothers loving each other a lot.

I like Ohm and Nanon's acting, I really hope they get better projects. Not sure if the ship didn't work or maybe it was the character setting they had. Wish they had better platforms to show their talents.

This is one of the best dramas I’ve watched

So at first I thought Bad Buddy would be your typical BL drama but boy was I wrong. First of all I want to talk about what a phenomenal actor Ohm and Nanon are they portrayed Pat and Pran so well. I felt every emotion they were feeling, I loved that pran had already liked pat so it made the story more interesting adding to the fact that they were considered enemies. In episode 5 we see pat and Pran kiss but what I loved about the kiss was how well it expressed what the both of them were feeling for each other. I also loved the continuation to episode 6 when pran started avoiding pat because he was scared of what the consequences would be if they started dating, their friends and families hate each other so how could they😔 but I’m excited to see where the story leads too. As of right now this has become one of my top 3 fav BL and that’s saying alot since I’ve watched so many 👏👏❤️

So Conflicted - Honest Opinion

After watching this show I realized that the only thing that really sold this show was the chemistry between Pat and Pran, thanks to Ohm and Nanon. If they would have put two other random actors, instead of Ohm and Nanon, in this show everyone probably wouldn't be as enthusiastic about the show as they are now. Take away the chemistry between the leads and you have a basic, uninteresting, bland storyline that we've seen over and over again. There was nothing special about the writing, direction, or cinematography in this series. With that being said, I still enjoyed watching it because I loved seeing the relationship between Pat and Pran. Its just that when you take a step back and look at all the aspects of this show, it isn't a masterpiece by any means.
