“only gay for each other" trope was broken or as you called it "i'm not gay, i just like u". It was made clear…
OMG you are absolutely correct and this is a big one. There is so much romanticization of sexual assault that happens in Thai BL dramas (TharnType anyone?, also Love By Chance) and that trope was broken. Bad Buddy is a role model in how important consent is in a relationship, to the point that Pat even asks Pran if he may kiss him.
Haha. I guess they must be. Drake is such a superstar. Love Drake. And did you know he is ripped? He was shirtless in one of the shows and I was like Damn Drake, you ripped boy!
honestly, one of the best shows ever. it isn't cringey and is probably the first to break many of the stereotypical…
“only gay for each other" trope was broken or as you called it "i'm not gay, i just like u". It was made clear that the characters have distinct, queer identities outside of their attraction to and love for one another.

"toxic male masculinity and casual misogyny" trope was broken. Pran calls Pat out when he makes a gendered joke about their roles as “husband” and “wife.” “Does calling me a wife make you feel superior?” asks Pran, pushing back against Pat’s casual misogyny. “You don’t need to call us husband and wife.”

"homophobic parents are the villains" trope was broken. Both sets of parents are supportive of their children's sexuality and the parents are never treated as villains.

"misogynistic controlling older brother" trope was broken. When Wai expresses a romantic interest in Pa, Pat doesn’t fall into the common misogynistic “don’t touch my sister” response, but rather says it is up to his sister, encouraging Wai to go for it.

"best friends of male leads must also be a couple" trope was broken. Wai and Korn are best friends of Pran and Pat respectively and while BB flirted with making them a couple, they are not in a romantic relationship.

“crazy ex-girlfriend” trope was broken. Ink, a girl from Pat and Pran’s past is initially presented as a potential threat to their coming together. Ink is not only uninterested in either of them romantically, but is supportive of their relationship. Past that, she has identities and interests outside of her relationships to the male leads.
Oh cool. Well, now it makes sense why people are shipping Wai-Korn. I was like am I the only one who doesn't care for a Wai-Korn romantic pairing? LOL.
Has anyone spoken about the 4th wall being broken at the end of 12 4/4 -It’s done a lot in the Deadpool movie…
Also for the uninitiated - The fourth wall is a performance convention in which an invisible, imagined wall separates actors from the audience. While the audience can see through this "wall", the convention assumes the actors act as if they cannot.
I know Jose talked about what breaking the fourth wall is but I felt I'd mention What IS the fourth wall.
