Are you serious? The reason for the hate and rivalry was much better than I expected. I thought it would be some silly unrequitted love or romance gone wrong.

But they don't sell it like that in the USA. They don't do "fan service", they don't exploit themselves emotionally.

Ep 1 to 5 were unbelievable great, that's for sure ...

Well, I admit I side with the angry fans regarding this issue. They were not only selling their "couple" heavily, they exploited their deep friendship a bit too much for my taste. People felt in love with the "soulmate" thing. They liked the idea that at this moment in time those two guys are enjoying their success together, and are the most important person for each other. That's now ruined. Just wait until the series ends, then you can go out with your girlfriend as much as you want. What a hassle.

Well, it's always about a girl and fans being disappointed because they ship the guys.

It's too easy to say: They are actors. Fans are delusional. That doesn't solve the problem at all. The issue is more complex. Especially Ohm was promoting the ship heavily. Him saying he is single, he has only Nanon, he is in love with Nanon - they exploited their friendship recently which I personally didn't like very much, so I stopped following them. They should keep it low. There sure are fans out there who wish for them to be a real couple. But there are also many others who just enjoy the idea that at the moment those two are the most important person for each other, are living their dreams together, and enjoy the success. Those fans are the ones who watch the series, tweet about it, buy the merch, make fan-art. Dellusional or not, they make those guys big. Ohm should have known better. If this is true (we still don't know), the stupidity is mind-blowing. Those actors have girlfriends, break up, have new ones. At least I cannot think of many actors in their 20s who are in a serious relationship. Most likely his friendship with Nanon will last longer than the relationship with the girl. He ruined it all. For what? This will affect Nanon, and the series. They had such a good thing going. And if the girl is really important, just say so. Be honest about it. Or if you don't have the balls to do so, or the management tells you to lie about it, which is terrible enough, and tells me again you don't have balls, just wait until the series is over, and less people are following your every step.

I personally couldn't care less about what actors do, or what kind of people they are in real life. I thought it was ridicoulous when they cut out the Kevin Spacey scences in that movie. He was playing a bad guy anyways. But in those BL series they purposedly are selling an idea, and create dreams. They are selling the actors AND the series. I criticized that back then in We Best Love too. They are putting out the actor's real emotions and their souls too much for money. I'm not a fan of some of P'Aofs directing either. Recently he is just holding the camera on them. Make it about the plot, the story! Don't about the guys, and their deep connection in real life. No wonder some fans cannot draw a line. I have seen people saying "Was that OhmNanon or PatPran?", because they cannot tell the difference.

Okay guys, now I scrolled through twitter for an hour. I had nothing better to do. So ... this is much bigger than I thought. The thing blew up. Don't know if they can sweep it under the carpet at this point. The issue is not his girlfriend, they are attacking his integrity and personality. Whatever Ohm does now, it's wrong. They even accuse him of using Nanon as a shield. Phew ... here it goes!

With Toey in Make It Right? The same crap. That's why I don't know if this is real or fabricated. Toey had a girlfriend, and fans were attacking the girl. Then Toey defended her apparantly - if that was even true.

Perhaps now some strange online post will appear where Ohm tells the fans they should know their place. Then hell will break loose. It's fishy.

Don't want to talk too much about the drama, but Ohm is really unlucky. When he gets shipped with someone hard, drama always follows. Back then with Toey, and now with Nanon. Really unlucky. Everything was going so well.

Whatever. Hopefully Ep 10 will be good, and we will forget about everything else. I'm still wishing for a good love making scene in the next three episodes, hehe.

Honestly, I'm not surprised about the drama. But I didn't expect it to happen so soon. It seems the whole issue is even trending on twitter. The series blew up only around 5 or 6 weeks ago ...

Well, you summed it up pretty nicely. That's how it is.

And it gets better: I once was a Gay Romance author myself, and those women were saying they support the gay community. I even participated in writing a short story for a charitable purpose. But those same women were then grossed out by lesbian love stories. I think that tells you a lot about the "fetish" aspect of the whole thing. I remember people discussed it before, why girls love isn't so popular. Most likely the audience is too small, because there are no hetero women drooling over the girls. Everyone is cheering for Ink and Pa, but be sure, if those two were the only couple, this series wouldn't get over 1M views in a day.

Talking about OhmNanon or the BL genre in general: They should concentrate more on the story, the plot, the acting, the film-making. But it's obvious they try hard to sell the "couple". After Ep 5 Bad Buddy blew up. Why not keep it low? Why milk it so much? Give us a good BL with a good story and good kisses. Everyone would be happy. But BL is like K-Pop, which is mostly about shipping hot and cute boys, and not about the music. I don't blame the actors. GMMTV is responsible for this. Since 2gether they really aren't holding back with the advertisment. That's the game.

I don't know Ohm enough, or should I say I don't follow him to be able to form an opinion about this. But if it's a fabricated rumour ... wow! Savage! If it's not ... hm. He should have said he has a girlfriend. There are actors like Max&Tul that nobody ships, but fans love them for many years; or when Tay&New became a thing very early New had a girlfriend. It's just better to be honest. Sam had a girlfriend when We Best Love aired, and the series got very successful nonetheless. Ohm and Nanon are playing a strange game. They don't want to be shipped, and at the same time they are selling their "couple" like there is no tomorrow. It's all a money thing at the end of the day. And all that advertisement isn't helping either. This is not my first GMMTV series, but I sure have never seen so much PPL.

Something about those two is not clicking right with me. They seemed to be afraid to get shipped too much, constantly friend-zoning each other, than later on, after the success we get that sappy love confession from Ohm on that podcast which wasn't needed. What are they even trying to do? They provide fan-service, at the same time they don't. They have difficulties finding their rhythm. Don't know about that girlfriend rumor, but who cares? Ohm and Nanon aren't a thing anyways. When the series started people were questioning Nanon since he has no BL experience, it turns out he is the one who has no boundaries, kissing and skinship is no issue for him. Don't know about the BL veteran Ohm anymore. I so hope we get a scripted (!!) kiss at the end of the series. He is doing great in those, not so much in the improvised ones. I'm a bit tired of him looking surprised. Not to mention that he looks angry when he is suprised. They in general should have a stricter script and a tighter plot. Since Ep 7 we get pointless fluff and advertisment that feels like fillers.

Honestly, it's a shame they aren't a couple in real life. I have the feeling Ohm goes for the b*tchy girls. Yeah, sue me, haha! For the sexy and bitchy ones that make his life miserable. Nanon on the other hand will find a cute girl, and he will have some cute babies with cute dimples. So at least for him we may get a happy end.

It seems to me Bad Buddy is the most commented show on MDL. Even very popular series don't have so many comments. Woah!

Just a thought I suddenly had. I watched anonther BL couple, and we all know how some of those guys have some issue with kissing and skinship, and need some time to adjust. In the worst case you can feel they are rather grossed out by the whole thing. But Ohm and Nanon ... that kiss in Ep 5 ... they are only around 21 and it was Nanon's first BL role. I have seen Ohm doing a supposedly hot kissing scene with a woman, and I wasn't feeling it at all. He wasn't either, I guess, haha! But that kiss with Nanon in Ep 5 ...! Boy or girl - that was really on another level. They were both so much into character, and just delivered. That kiss got a lot of well deserved recognition, but yeah ... just suddenly thought about how well they did it compared to many other actors out there.

Since you guys are sharing fan vids and stuff - this one is my favorite.

Oh, thank you!

What drunk scene? What snippets?

The Sean character seems rather complex and I get the feeling he is a good guy. In Theory of Love the Khai character was so unappealing. I dropped the series because he was too annoying ...
