This series is one of the most well executed Bl storywise and production wise, I'm on the fourth episode and I…
Without spoiling much, even in EP 5 to EP 7, his behavioural pattern is consistent with him dealing with the aforementioned trauma and past, and that he is also trying his best to deal with it. He is struggling with it.
His circle of friends and family knows about it, and they do not approve of him acting that way, but they care for him and want him to improve (and they help a lot too), instead of condemning him as being toxic and/or irredeemable.
Some photos from the boxset… I can’t😭 I love Bad Buddy so much, forever missing our boys❤️
Yes, those photos look amazing. Can’t wait to see them in my own boxset. I will share what I think of the boxset (and whether it’s worth buying for those who haven’t bought it yet)
Perfect timing as it seems that people are beginning to get their Bad Buddy Boxset around this time (still waiting for mine) when both Cutie Pie and KinnPorsche are not airing this weekend due to Songkran holiday. Hence, #BadBuddySeries is trending again today! Let’s make it trending more!
I wonder if they showed a otherwise nice guy occasionally slapping and punching his girl friend, would you and…
It's regardless of the gender. Seeing the bigger picture is important. Plus, in the context of the story, Nut and Tofu's situation are unique. Don't forget that one thing that isn't real is Tofu's miraculous transformation from teddy bear to human.
Anyone would suddenly become suspicious if there's a stranger appearing suddenly in their house, and more so still if that stranger looked like your crush and had the vibes of your ex.
It is available with English sub in Netflix Asia. And if it is not available in your country, it will likely be released in YouTube in May with English sub.
I have seen people commenting below, saying that because they saw 'screaming fit and punch' then dropping this series. Or that they can't stand Nut's behaviour, and then drop the series.
It's perfectly fine and we are all entitled to our own opinions. We all have different preferences after all.
But don't forget. It's nitpicking when we focus so much on those scenes and forget all the character development and intricate storyline, and all the good moments that are present in the past seven episodes alone (which is 10.5 hours worth!)
And with still 13.5 hours more content to go, are you seriously dropping this series just because of this? Again, this series shows real people and how real people in that situation reacts.
Plus, as someone else excellently mentioned earlier, this series have already repeatedly highlighted that the people around Nut were not ok with his attitude and actions, but they still saw hope in him and want him to change for the better. That's what real friends do as well.
We may not be Nut's friends or close to him the way the people who saw his outburst are, but I am sure as fellow human beings with our own imperfections, our own shortcomings, we can empathise with him. If we do something similar, do we then condemn ourselves?
(And what would you think if you are in the same position as Nut, with people looking down at you your whole life, despising everything that you are, your schoolmates, your teacher, and even (especially) your own dad? And now even viewers are judging you too, through the fourth wall?)
'Let those who are without sin, throw the first stone'
I'll probably be asked to turn in my BL Fan card for saying this, but I don't get why people go bonkers for KinnPorsche.
Yes, exactly, everyone has their own preferences and that is perfectly fine. Plus, there's another, very important one that we often miss out. Many people are looking for hot makeout scenes, and snippets shown in the trailer is what made the ppl go crazy over it.
That was what boosts viewership (a lot) also. But if you ask me, does a great series need to have explicit skinship? My answer is no. I'd rather have a series like The Miracle of Teddy Bear so far with solid storyline and characters, intriguing plot rather than the ones that depend a lot on the hotness of the actors or the skinships for great popularity.
Can't really compare one series against another especially because they are different. But as we know, quantity (of viewers) does not equate quality. And THIS series deserves far more recognition and popularity than what it is getting (it will get more once it is internationally released with Eng Sub in YouTube).
I'll probably be asked to turn in my BL Fan card for saying this, but I don't get why people go bonkers for KinnPorsche.
You are not the only one. Everyone's literally going crazy over Cutie Pie and/or KinnPorsche now. That's perfectly fine as allisond said, everyone has their own preferences.
However, it is THIS series which deserves far more recognition than it gets (partly because it's not released widely internationally yet - it will, soon). I don't really want to compare, but quality wise in various aspects, this series trumps Cutie Pie and on par if not more than KinnPorsche.
But again, can't really be compared, so yeah. Again, quantity (of viewers) does not equate quality.
You're always in the know for the series that matter most! I saw on Twitter than some series are postponing episodes…
Haha, I just happen to know where to get the sources and informations.
Regarding Songkran, I am not sure yet but for this series, it still seems schedule as usual.
(I actually would rather that to be the case so we get to see more of especially Nut’s backstory and other plots faster, or else, if we have to wait till next Friday, some more people may end up unfairly bashing Nut for his actions.)
13 years ago - 2008 [2008 is derived from Neung's date of death. If it's writer's error, then 2010 is the better…
It’s definitely Sib who died. Sib and Saen has such different personalities, that it’s impossible for Sib to have been alive instead of Sib.
And don’t forget that Mr. Sitha, Gen’s dad recognised Saen in the hospital (Sitha knew Sib quite well, and he couldn’t have mistaken Sib for Saen, and vice versa)
For those who are new to this page, just to let you all know that CH3 may upload for international fans the series in YouTube once the series completes airing on 1 May.
(The English sub quality in Netflix Asia is amazing and I expect the same for the YouTube release later)
So be patient if you are unable to watch it yet. It is available at the moment on Netflix Asia in selected countries, and some other sites. Do support official channels as much as possible though.
This teaser has spoilers on the origins of the teddy bear and how Sib treated his son, Nut. Was thinking of sharing this in case any of you haven't watched it yet and want to watch it.
Tofu will be Nut's source of comfort and healing from here on. I am quite sure of it.
I thought this series was gonna be so childish. Yes I judged it from the title! Glad that I gave this a chance.…
This series has always intrigued many of us for every episodes, and that, plus the powerful acting from most if not all the characters made it truly great.
Yes, I know Aloysius Pang as I am from Singapore. Honestly there are some resemblance, but to me, somewhat different. I think Jobb is more handsome (just my thoughts). May Aloysius rest in peace by the way.
Ep 7- At this point I dislike Nat, I don't think he is ready to love, and I think the way they want to portrait…
You need to understand Nut's perspective. Basically as audience, we have this audience bias (or helicopter view) because we know everything, including who Tofu truly was, and how he was related (probably) to Tarn.
But if you see from Nut's perspective, and as I mentioned, his past (that are gradually being revealed), then you will understand his actions. And not forgivable/redeemable? EP 7 (and earlier episodes) clearly showed that he is making the effort for overcoming his paranoia and insecurities (which again wasn't his fault to begin with).
Violence is unacceptable yes, but to condemn the sinner and to cast him as unforgivable is not the way. Condemn the sin, not the sinner.

Today’s Nong Nao IG story said, ‘See you again’
I don’t want to read too much into it, but it seems like it’s teasing us of the possible special episodes (or as I see it, potential sequel)

It’s holding steady! Expect the rating to rise as Tofu and Nut relationship gets better and more of the drama and plots are revealed.
Next weekend is Songkran celebration though, which may affect rating somewhat,
