While waiting for EP 2 to air in Netflix, I just want to say that in the (very) unlikely event that anyone here hasn't heard of Bad Buddy, please go and watch it. Very highly recommended!
(Since I shared about this series in Bad Buddy page, I figured that I should do the same here too)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT-PFJaXh9sPreview for EP 2 is out. Can't wait for tonight! ):)(I guessed it right.…
Anont Tanakul and Aneung Tanakul have the same surname. They are likely brothers.
The former might have passed away years ago, and the latter (Tee's eyes is on point there) is totally dumbstruck and astonished to see his older brother again (the face and look) before his very own eyes after all that time.
There is literally an ongoing intense debate (or even war) in Cutie Pie MDL comment board for the past few weeks, especially in the past 2 weeks. It's extremely divided between those that likes the series a lot on one side and those who dislike the series a lot (which seems to be a somewhat larger majority).
Again, I find Cutie Pie to be so so and ok, but I do agree with views from both sides. Nonetheless, I also do not favour/condone series that represent toxic relationships, no matter how they are presented. Everyone deserves to uphold their views or preferences of course.
Partly, I think because we have such a healthy relationships from Pat and Pran here that watching anything less, and especially something like Lian and Kuea's relationship to be especially jarring. That's why while I like HIStory 3: Trapped, I don't think I likely will favour KinnPorsche either (but it hasn't come out yet, so I won't judge it yet), because the two couples in HIStory 3: Trapped weren't toxic per se. (Just saying my opinion here)
Full stats update will come later tonight as usual. Just wanna say that we have passed 157.5 million total views…
As I mentioned, 160M will likely come within a week from now, while 170M and 180M will probably come by end May or June (depending on how strong EP 9's still continuing rampage is. I do hope some other scenes like EP 11 Part 3/4 will also gain more views ):) )
And 200M by August isn't impossible. We'll likely double our finale count with 210M before the first year anniversary.
We'll surpass Still 2gether by May latest, and probably will pass SOTUS S and almost catching up to DBK by October this year.
Full stats update will come later tonight as usual. Just wanna say that we have passed 157.5 million total views in YouTube, which means that we have gained 50% increase since the finale (which ended with about 105 million views in total)
That we managed to get it within less than 2.5 months (for 50% increase) is amazing. It has only been 70 days since the finale, while it took 85 days for the series to air from the premiere to the finale.
BillkinPP won over OhmNanon in Komchadluek Awards is not a surprise, considering the former already had 3 series for them (first in My Ambulance as supporting characters, then 2 series as main in ITSAY and IPYTM).
They were also had more experience and airtime, a lot more advertisements together up to recently, and also vastly more popular in terms of singing with Nadao Music (I posted here before on their ITSAY and IPYTM songs - which tallies over 150 million views in YouTube not counting Billkin's You Are My Everything for My Ambulance, PP's I'll Do It How You Like It and others, while Nanon's combined Bad Buddy and other earlier songs is just about 20 million plus in views - not counting the Love Score collaboration with Sizzy)
So again, I am not surprised that BillkinPP won. Their products and works were great, and their fans are probably close second in popular vote after OhmNanon.
Maybe my opinion won't be popular, but I don't think this show needs a second season. The plot, though cute and…
What Bad Buddy needs is at least one 1.5 hours long special episode, or a few special episodes.
While yes there isn’t much to go on for a second season, but Pat and Pran’s story isn’t wholly complete yet. They deserve better and more. We still hope for the parents to finally accept them openly and them to be married to each other if possible.

It does not seem to be available in all of Asia though. If you are using VPN, put it to Singapore just to be safe ):)

I normally don't fall for April Fool's jokes. But this one got me, real bad! (:(

(I guessed it right. Neung/Song (the one played by Tee Thanapon) immediately recognised Tofu as P'Neung)
It has always been like that (bar some hiccups in the earliest days of airing), and I am glad that it has remained so.

It's finally Friday, and I can't wait for EP 2, 3 and 4 coming out starting today and over this weekend! ):)
Bad Buddy won the popular vote for series category in Komchadluek Awards! Beating I Promised You The Moon and some others ):) Yay!
While yes there isn’t much to go on for a second season, but Pat and Pran’s story isn’t wholly complete yet. They deserve better and more. We still hope for the parents to finally accept them openly and them to be married to each other if possible.
That’s good enough. ):)
