Elektraa

Sooo. I’ve now rewatched part 4 …6 times. 😂 I need help. It’s not even lunchtime here yet.

Lol the hand holding part! I watched it 5 times over going “I CANT BELIEVE ITS THIS SHORT. GIMMME MORE.”

As a self proclaimed Wai apologist, I’ve never actually shipped him with anyone because my opinion was that his role was to just be the “hot headed but over protective friend”. However this episode his manipulation of Pran kinda threw water on my idealistic view of his friendship with Pran. The first instance I caught onto was the library scene and then it got worse with the room scene. Both situations don’t really hold light to the over protective friend idea.

So I removed my “apologist” title from Ep 6, but I also don’t hate him like others seem to. Hes flawed and egotistical but his characterization is realistic. We (or maybe most) have had that one friend or 2 that wasn’t always a good friend to them. Lol though I love that someone on Twitter called Wai the real “Bad buddy”

Agreed! There was something that I felt was off, but couldn’t put my finger on it. Though…part 4 is my fav part and I’ve watched it like 4 times already aha.

I’m blocking out the fact that this series will end eventually. My soul can’t handle that on top of waiting weekly for Friday. 😭

Yes but in EP 1, that was only their first run-in after the initial bar confrontation. I strongly believe for Wai, it was the build up of negative interactions, one after the other to the point where he’s like: “Screw it. I don’t even care anymore.”

If I could give parallel example, it is similar to how Pat was jealous of Wait in EP 5 and it kept building up until the point where he purposefully tried to provoke Wai when he was dropping off Pran. In the end it was built up emotions that bubbled into irrationality.

Not saying it was correct and I 100% don’t agree with his behavior, but I still understand it.

Also side note! Those of you who have twitter should follow jimmy’s tweets. The way he’s trolling Ohm is SO funny. If Ohm is the captain of the PatPran ship than Jimmy is the captain of WaiPran ghost ship. The level of trolling for EP 6 is golden!

Honestly YES. The only thing that I don’t agree with was his attempt to outnumber and beat up Pat. But outside of that Wai has been a real one. He’s hot headed but always listens to Pran and backs down if asked to. And honestly Pat really was taunting him every time he ate off his plate especially when both necessarily don’t get along.

-steps off my soap box- I might be a tad of a Wai apologist but listen. LISTEN, he does it with good intentions. 😂
I’ve honestly become a Wai and Pran apologist for EP 6. Aha.

Right? Especially going to the camp. I could maybe do that once but not over and over? My anxiety would have a field day the moment I stepped foot on the bus on my own.

Thanks! I’ll def check those out. Come to think about it, I’ve heard good things about Gameboys.

Aha meanwhile I’m a total Nanon STAN. I love him as Pran. I do admit that Pat has to do a lot of chasing and Pran can be quite short and dismissive , but it’s in line with people who have similar personalities.

Throwing myself under the bus to say that I have a lot of the same qualities as Pran and sometimes respond to people…even my crushes like that. I can def understand how annoying that can be to others who share more straight forward personalities.

Also P’Aof discussed on YT that this bl would be have a lot of similar tropes as typical Y series/ BL based on the script’s intentions. One other person called bad buddy a love letter to the entire bl genre so it will def have the tropes. I think the tropes are handled tastefully though that shouldn’t mean others should agree with me or with P’Aof’s intentions.

Anyway! At the moment both actors aren’t slotted to do any more bl work in order to focus on other interests so there’s that. Im really excited for their announced 2022 projects. But thanks a bunch for sharing your opinion! Sometimes I feel like those who don’t share the same view as the majority get ignored or worse but I personally always like the discussion of perspectives.

Agreed! The chemistry was oozing and their chat after was good. ;-; I’m such a stan at this point.

Oof. I’m glad you’re still tuning in every week though so that might say something. I know I usually drop series I can’t click with by EP 3. Btw, I second that Ohm’s biceps are nice to look at. Dunno how you feel about Nanon but I also think he has the best expressions. Hope you find what aspects you do enjoy as you continue.

Omg RIGHT?! This is supposedly the same guy who had written in his sketchbook last EP that he doesn’t know how to flirt. SIR. SIR, THAT IS A LIE. ERASE THAT.

It’s so weird to see the stark contrast in opinions on this. I personally agree that it’s way too high a rating but then others absolutely love it… especially in the YT comments. I think this series is a specific breed of comedy that people will either love or hate.

This is my first introduction to Filipino bl and I must admit it’s an underwhelming experience. The first episode was confusing in terms of the directing. The acting was also overdone and had no natural feel to it.

At least it was clear who the couples are going to be and the leads are attractive…but everything else is subpar at best. I will give it another episode before I decide if I should keep watching.

Yes! When Pat says no… and right before Pran steps forward, there’s the most subtle change in Pran’s features. he starts trying to blink back more tears and his face softens even more. It only happens for a second but it’s everything. 😭

I don’t think so. They’ve been very strong with the pacing of stuff. I doubt they’ll drag it out longer than needed.

I’m sooo ready for the angst, drama, and action. This looks like it’ll be great!

Yesss! This is the first time I’ve rewatched full EPs over and over. In other series, I just skip to my fav scenes and rewatch only that …but this is on a whole new level. Every week I rewatch at least 4 times. I need help. ;-;
