B-Friend (2025)

Its pretty bad ...

I'm a big GL drama fan, but this drama is pretty bad. Specifically ...

* The acting ranged from average to bad. In my opinion, the most naturally gifted actress in the entire series was Kina Kinnary Chaleunphol who played Som. Some of the bit part actors were terrible.
* The sound ranged from satisfactory to bad. Sound levels were often inconsistent, with some dialogue being way too quite and then sometimes background music being too loud. Dialogue audio often included a lot of background static suggesting cheap recording equipment was used, and/or the audio people didn't know what they were doing.
* The cinematography was actually OK, so at least their camera crew were competent.
* But by FAR the biggest weakness of the drama was the script. Much of the drama consistested of meaningless subplots and semi-random scenes that went for too long and contributed nothing to the narrative. There seemed to be a concerted effort to stretch out the runtime. Even the main plot (if I can even call it that) was simplistic, but somehow also managed to be confusing. Overall, it is an amateur production that falls well short of most of the Thai GLs that have been made in the last couple of years.

Even though this drama was pretty bad overall, it does have (in my opinion) the most realistic love/sex scenes of any Thai GL to date, so it should at least get credit for that. If you're a hard-core GL fan, then it is still worth a watch, but if you're not, I'd suggest you give it a miss.
