It’s not a wild guess. I believe the WeTV version is mostly for Thai audience only.

I can’t find the episodes in WeTV from Singapore and from some other countries by using VPN.

That mirrors how the YouTube version cannot be seen in Thailand either.

I am sure all of us here can’t wait for Bad Buddy EP 6, but please make sure all of us go and rest now ok?

All of us need that energy and strength to enjoy the show tomorrow, and to discuss more here!

Most importantly, stay healthy too!

I think by the time I wake up in a few hours' time, there is a chance EP 5 [4/4] will have reached 2 million views (that's in less than a week).

Still loving that rooftop scene, but please watch the earlier episodes too if you haven't done so ok?
Appreciate the beautiful storyline and character development, and it will make that rooftop scene even better when you rewatch it again!

Please spread the word too, so Bad Buddy gets even more popularity everywhere!

It depends on how popular Bad Buddy is too. 2gether got a sequel almost immediately after their extreme popularity last year.

Based on the trend of Bad Buddy so far, we don’t need to worry, it’s already very, very popular.

Don't forget that Nanon is still very young too. He has the potential to be the next GMM 'Holy Trinity' like Krist-Singto, Tay-New, Off-Gun. The same applies for Ohm as well.

I hope he won't mind more future pairing with Ohm though. We'll see. Both of them with their amazing chemistry and talents have tremendous potential for future BL series with them as main lead (or even as side couple).

I agree with you on the choices. They look quite promising, although I really hope GMMTV does not disappoint us with the quality. Trailer can be very good but the actual product rather meh.

Same here. I think it deserves a season 2 after Pat-Pran relationship fully develops in season 1. We need more of those two!

Maybe in 2023?

I find it hilarious and entertaining that Immortality (someone here introduced it to me) had almost 1500 new comments in this week when we still do not know yet when it will air.

It stands at almost 31,500 comments now (and probably people are aiming for 100k!)

Came back from work and happy to see Bad Buddy passing the 5000 comments milestone before even this Friday!

Just a bit more than 2 days to EP 6!

Yes, he is an actual doctor. And he did very well so far in his acting, even as a side character.

I find his acting in EP 5 to be very good!

Actually I thought of it in a bit different way.

I feel that subconsciously Pran still had in him a glimmer of hope that his so-called unrequited love and crush for Pat could become a reality. Hence, he chose that song which he and Pat made together, a song of his desire that 'they can be more than just friends'

I am also thinking that all of the time that he recently spent with Pat reawakened the memory of his good old time with him in the high school, and hence, he decided to choose that song.

Little did Pran know that, playing that song triggered Pat and made it truly possible for him and Pat to be together. A seemingly impossible love made possible.

(And EP 5 showed that Pat did remember the times he had with Pran, and he has also subconsciously longed for Pran, and loved him, though he didn't realise it until so many years later.)

Haha of course I did! :D

And EP 5 just surpassed EP 4 in views!

There are still some BL for this year that has been delayed by the pandemic and have not started airing yet, and maybe there will be less planned for 2022 because of that?

But nothing for sure. We’ll see on Wednesday!

When somebody was drunk (I believe Pat was still kind of sober), it reduced his inhibitions, and he was expressing his true inner desires.

I really like that scene too. It was really intense and was really well-acted!

I think you got Post Bad Buddy Rooftop Syndrome, just like me and many others here! 😁

At the rate that it’s going, EP 5 is going to overtake all the other episodes except for EP 1. And the good thing is, it also caused a boost to the earlier episodes’ views!

(Note that views aren’t everything! More important is the quality of the show and the fact that many people are truly appreciating and enjoying this series!)

While we are waiting for EP 6 to come out next Friday, I recommend those who have not read the novel to read it. No worries of getting spoiled as the story is quite different from the series (but the characters' identity for Pat and Pran remain much the same).

Novel Title: Behind the Scene/Behind the Curtain by Afterday
(I believe the official English translated version is already available too)

Trust me when I say that I did not quite find a problem in the earlier episodes because I understood the characters better by having read the novel and that gave me perspective of what was shown in the first two episodes of Bad Buddy.

I think someone mentioned below that rewatching the earlier episodes hit and feels differently now that we know what happened in EP 5. Understanding the character better does help us to appreciate the story in the series more.

Perhaps, I believe that did impact the overall numbers.

Not decreasing, it's because EP 1 already has 4 weeks in the running, EP 2 has 3 weeks, and so on.

But based on the numbers you can see that the last three episodes are doing really well, especially EP 5. It already has gotten almost the same number in just one day that EP 4 took over a week to reach.

I think Wai is really a good person to have as a friend. He was the same in the novel too. He was just concerned about Pran as a close friend (but not in a romantic way).

After all, I think their main problem is that they do not have the opportunity for proper communication between them, and this led to a lot of misunderstanding and conflict.

This was eventually resolved well in the novel. We'll see if it gets resolved soon in the series too.
