Where can I watch? Netflix doesn't load it with my VPNs and all the drama sites I've found have subs not synced
VPN normally should work. Maybe you try to put your VPN to any Asian countries, like Singapore and Thailand for example. It's in my Netflix in Singapore.
Hi all, I have just finished The Miracle of Teddy Bear EP 1 on Netflix (available with English sub on Netflix Asia).
It was very good. I highly recommend it.
Bad Buddy will always be my #1, but The Miracle of Teddy Bear may have a chance to be my #2 (too early to tell with just 1 episode, 15 more episodes to go).

Happy Bad Buddy Friday again everyone! Somehow now every Friday just passed by so fast, unlike when Bad Buddy was still airing. It's probably coz I am always counting down for that (highly likely to me) sequel for Bad Buddy.
If GMM bosses are perceptive, they will let this masterpiece series to have a proper sequel (quality wise, we have to trust P'Aof and OhmNanon ok?) as performance wise, Bad Buddy is the best BL series GMM ever made in popularity and performance when excluding 2gether's unique circumstances and advantages 2 years ago.

Stop me if I'm wrong but it seems to me that one of the elements explaining the very good number of views is because…
Apparently it's available in Viki, but not available in my area (Singapore), so maybe in very limited places. I tried using VPN for Thailand and it's not available there either. When I look it up under USA, it says, 'Coming Soon', so maybe it's not released there yet.
So yes, you are likely right (as I saw this mentioned elsewhere too) that Cutie Pie is mostly if not only available in YouTube now. That's a big reason for its relatively high viewcount.
As a contrast, Bad Buddy for example has significant viewcount taken by the live TV and WeTV in Thailand. It was also geoblocked at least in Thailand for a month after each episodes are released. But in the end, it still managed to emerge extremely strong in YouTube.
Quality wise, as shown here, it seems reactions to Cutie Pie is rather mixed. I watched parts of it and it was ok, but I shall not comment more since I haven't watched in full yet.
Recent series (less than 365 days since finale) current standing (views in YouTube):
Bad Buddy (12 episodes - 61 days since finale): 151,727,000 Fish Upon the Sky (12 episodes - 272 days since finale): 113,502,000 A Tale of Thousand Stars (10 episodes - 356 days since finale): 106,226,000 Lovely Writer (12 episodes - 316 days since finale): 76,327,000 Not Me (14 episodes - 3 days since finale): 62,024,000 Cutie Pie (5 out of 12 episodes aired): 44,802,000 Secret Crush on You (6 out of 14 episodes aired): 20,338,000 Enchante (8 out of 10 episodes aired): 16,680,000
Note: This does not include those shows that are not shown in YouTube, and this list isn't exhaustive. I may have also missed some shows that aired recently.
Bad Buddy EP 9 has just surpassed EP 5 as the second most viewed episode (after EP 1)
EP 9: 14,898,000 EP 5: 14,895,000
(For comparison EP 1 is at 16,145,000 now)
Grand Total now is 151,727,000 (We'll likely reach 160M by early April, and it may not be far fetched to get 180M by mid year and 200M before one year anniversary in end October - again, these estimates are rather conservative)
Interesting trailer of an upcoming One31 (which is under GMM umbrella) series that is an LGBT/BL and yet is also a lakorn (traditional kind of Thai drama)
Those who are familiar with lakorn knows that they have certain kind of vibes that only lakorn has (and so far not present in major Thai BL series)
By the way, it has been 2 months and a week now since we are at MDL's top as most commented series that has either completed airing, still airing or has its show dates confirmed (since 18 January 2022 when we overtook The Long Ballad at 35k comments back then)
It means that we have gained 18k comments since then, a 50% increase in just 2 months. Plus considering that we were still at 2k back in end October last year, we gained all these 50k comments in just half a year is extraordinary.
Immortality (now at 58.5k comments), we will give the #1 title to you once Tencent reveals your airing date. I do hope that it will be this year, now that The Oath of Love is airing. (Note: Immortality contains same-sex relationship which may have trouble in the current climate in China, as recently similar shows have been prevented from airing or forced to cancel)

It was very good. I highly recommend it.
Bad Buddy will always be my #1, but The Miracle of Teddy Bear may have a chance to be my #2 (too early to tell with just 1 episode, 15 more episodes to go).

More thoughts in the spoiler comment in my next comment above.
Plus if you search Bad Buddy EP 9 part 3, it won't appear directly on the search list unlike part 1, 2 and 4, likely because of the thumbnail.
It's not bad, can enjoy watching it, but if you can't stand rather toxic relationship (esp. compared to Pat and Pran), then maybe you want to skip it.
EP 9 Part 3/4: 6,259,167
EP 1 Part 1/4: 6,259,474
Note: As far as I know, EP 9 Part 3/4 was still around 4.5 million or so two weeks ago before the explosive growth.

Nice intervals each week to satisfy our PatPran and OhmNanon cravings ):)
