All the glitz, none of the substance...
This drama had everything: royal aesthetics 👑, sparkling costumes ✨, and hype-worthy couples… but the writing and directing destroyed it all. 😩The main couple — We all know they can act, but here their chemistry and performances felt off. Zee showed *minimal to no* facial expressions—please, give us something 😭! A smile, a tear, anger, joy… anything. NuNew was okay, but his character became irritating fast. He started as a prince with potential, then turned into a randomly singing, love-sick puppy. It completely ruined what could’ve been a strong arc.
The second couple — So much potential, barely any screen time. They had the story and the acting to save the weak plot, but were given nothing. Honestly, their storyline was more interesting than the main couple’s. And their ending? It didn’t even feel like an ending—just a hug, a “sorry,” and pushed aside 😑.
The third couple — The worst handled. If you have no story for them, don’t add them. Net & JJ deserved better. No beginning, no ending, no moments at all. Why were they even included? 🤦♀️
The NC scenes that were hyped were completely bland—no spice, nothing. The action scenes were laughable. And the ending… wow. Just a ring, a two-minute kiss, and suddenly that’s the conclusion? No answers, no closure, nothing.
The king’s death also felt random, like “we don’t need you anymore” and—boom—dead. Ava’s POV had potential, too, but the writing kept toning her down for no reason. So many storylines, zero payoff.
Verdict: So much potential, utterly ruined. A royal mess. 👑💥

If perfection had a show — it’d be THIS ?️??
This drama *literally* left me speechless 😭 The acting was acting, the story was storying, the plot was plotting, and the emotions were EMOTIONING!! Like... I’m still not over it 😭💥Gun’s acting?? PHENOMENAL. The way he portrayed both Black and White — like two completely different souls — ugh, pure brilliance. You could actually *feel* the difference between them. That’s not easy, but he nailed it effortlessly! 🖤🤍 And his chemistry with Off?? Don’t even get me started 😭 The tension, the softness, the pain, the love — EVERYTHING. I’m officially obsessed!! 😭🔥
This drama had everything I’ve been craving in a BL — depth, emotions, story, and meaning. That pride flag scene? Don’t talk to me, I’m still crying 🏳️🌈💖 It was so powerful and beautifully done.
If you’re still thinking whether to watch it or not — STOP THINKING. You’re missing out on an absolute masterpiece. GO WATCH IT NOW. Like, right this second!!! 😭😭😭

When love beats hate ?️??
I genuinely *loved* this drama! 😍 It completely deserved all the hype it gets — especially the main couple! Their acting and the way they expressed emotions were perfectly executed. 🎭 The enemies-to-lovers trope was portrayed beautifully, and I loved every bit of it. 💖I also loved the friends’ roles! 💕 They were supportive when they needed to be and angry too when they found out the guys — who were supposed to be “rivals” — had actually fallen in love. 😂 Their reactions felt so real! And the girl couple? They were *sooooooooo* sweet, cute, and absolutely freaking adorable!! 😭💞 I loved them — they added such wholesome energy and balance to the story. 🌸
One thing I really appreciated was how the drama didn’t fall into the cliché “I’m not gay, but I like you” narrative. 🙅♂️ Instead, it explored the idea that love isn’t about gender — it’s about the person. 💕 That message really resonated with me, and I could truly *feel* it through the characters’ journey. 🌈
However, I wasn’t too happy with the ending. 😔 I didn’t like how Pat and Pran still had to hide their relationship, especially from their parents. Their parents eventually found out, even if indirectly, but it felt unfair that the kids had to carry the burden of their parents’ old feud. Like, come on — it’s a fight between the parents, not the kids! 🙃 When two people love each other enough to elope, that should say something. 💔
And I just have to say — Pat’s father really frustrated me. 😤 Dude, *you* were the one who caused this whole feud by stealing Pran’s mom’s opportunity, and now you act like this noble family head? The manipulation, the guilt-tripping, the pressure to compete with the neighbors — ugh, typical Asian parent behavior! 🙄 I understood Pran’s mom’s point of view after the truth came out, but still… let your kids live and love already! 😩
But honestly, that’s what makes the show hit close to home — it reflects real-life family pressures in so many Asian households. 🏠 It’s messy, emotional, and painfully real, and that’s exactly why it sticks with you. 💭
Overall, *Bad Buddy* has an amazing plot ✅, brilliant acting ✅, and incredible OSTs 🎶. It’s absolutely worth the watch! 💫

A BL So Good I Forgot to Blink ?✨
DOMUNDI finally upped their game!! 🔥Okay, listen... I honestly wasn’t expecting much from this BL 😅 Even after hearing so many good things about it, I still went in with zero expectations. But once I started watching… OMG 😭 I was completely MESMERIZED!! The cinematography?? UNREAL. Every episode is over an hour long, and I actually watched it in 1x speed 😭 (which NEVER happens because I usually go 2x for BLs). That alone says A LOT — I was hooked from the very first second!! 💥
The OSTs and all the songs?? 🔥🔥 Chef’s kiss! Especially the main theme — absolute perfection 🎶
And the acting... OMGGG everyone acted like RENT WAS DUE 😭👏 They ATE every scene!
Keng, my man 😩💗 just WOW. His voice?? So addictive. His acting?? Perfection. His visuals?? Don’t even get me started 😮💨
Namping was GOD-TIER!! The subtle emotions, the expressions, the intensity — everything was spot on 💫
The second couple was amazing too! Honestly, the whole cast delivered. Massive shoutout to the casting team because they did not miss once! 🙌 And those twins??? They were SOOOOO cute 🥹💖
The cinematography, the plot, the twists, the acting, the OSTs — everything was just NEXT LEVEL. No BL can top this one for me, seriously. It had the story, the depth, the emotions, the acting — everything I’ve been craving 😭💕
And the NC scenes... let me just say 👀🔥 They proved you don’t need to go all the way for it to be sensual and meaningful. It was pure, emotional, and so beautifully done. I don’t usually mention NC scenes, but this time I HAVE TO — they nailed it! 😭💞
This show, this cast, this whole production team — they all deserve endless appreciation for giving us such a high-quality BL masterpiece 💎👏 It deserves all the recognition and more!!
If you haven’t watched it yet, PLEASEEEE trust me and just go for it 😭🙌 I know it’s labelled as horror and I usually avoid horror too 😅 but this one??? 100% worth it.
JUST WATCH IT!! You’ll thank me later 😭💖✨

Soft hearts, green energy ??
It was such a soft, fluff-filled drama—green forests everywhere (major green flag 🌿), lots of sweet moments, healthy communication, and genuine love. I liked how they kept the story simple and didn’t try to overcomplicate anything. The plot was nice, the acting felt natural, and the OSTs fit the vibe perfectly. ✨If you want something cozy, green, and completely free of toxicity… just go for it. 💛🌿

OMG!!
This drama was absolutely amazing! It had everything — a solid plot, incredible acting, beautiful music, fluffy moments, spice, and all the emotions you could ask for.Honestly, I didn’t expect much going in; I started it pretty much blind. But wow, it was so worth it! The music was gripping (except maybe that one track during the 🔥 scenes — I can’t remember exactly which one 😅). The story actually had depth, and every character delivered a fantastic performance. You could feel their emotions through the screen.
And can we talk about Wenai & Jannie?! I loveddddd them! Please make them an official couple already 😭😭 They totally deserve it.
All in all, a must-watch! I loved every second and would 100% rewatch it again. 😌❤️

Okaish drama ig!?
All in all a good/okaish drama. Watched for Park Bo-Gum but fell in love with Lee Sang-Yi. He looked so hot and everything. Loved it.A few things that seemed way too stupid to me were - 1.) Ep 1 felt too long! It felt like I was watching it for 2 -3 hrs and yet a bit was left (felt it wasn't 2-3 hrs long). 2.) No matter how much they beat Doong ju , how much he bleads and all , the guy will be perfectly fine the next day to take up a new fight. I mean, the way they were beating him was pretty serious & with the punch-drunk I think he should be hospitalized and be in a cast and all but the man is all ok. It's like he is made of steel or something. 3.) Story felt dragged a bit. Could've finished it in 12 ep max. Till 16 it felt dragged. 4.) No chemistry in ML & FL. Doong ju and Jong hyun had more chemistry than them ? Rest of the points I forget.
But still it was entertaining, funny, and worth the time (sort of). Loved the action! For which I specifically watched the drama.
