Feeling wrecked after BB but in a good way makes perfect sense to me. After ep 11, which felt like a feature film,…
OMG, I'm so watching Kieta Hatsukoi. Michieda is so adorable I just wanna hug and cuddle him all day. I love fluff, fluff and more fluff. Exactly what the doctor ordered on a cold, depressing day. I just need to find out where it is streaming. LOL.
Also, thank you for the recommendation on Utsukushii Kare. I will check it out.
I don’t know how I’m gonna live on without seeing them together in a drama. I’m gonna miss their characters…
I hope they make a Season 2 as well. I don't care even if it ends up being crappy. I will watch the heck out of it. Heck I'll even pay to watch Season 2.
They did watch the preview of ep 12 after ep 11. Actually a lot of people (including me, and I'm not the kind to toot my own horn, just not my personality type) predicted, correctly, that they were faking their break-up for obvious reasons.
The last time a LGBTQ+ show/movie that affected me so much was "Call Me By Your Name". I wasn't myself for days, weeks after watching that movie. It left a big mark on me. BB has done the same. I'm feeling wrecked in a good way (if that even makes any sense).
I just wrote a whole darn post about things in the novel that should have been included in the show a few comments…
Agreed that the show could've been longer, although the break-up in the show was fake (not sure if it was real or fake in the novel) so would've been hard to show angst when the breakup and separation is orchestrated and not real.
Yes, it's a happy ending. Very happy ending.But special episode or season 2 are still a good possibility.
Okay, how about a Special episode, followed by a movie, followed by a Season 2, followed by a movie Sequel? That works for me and might help towards mending my broken heart. LOL. Works for you? LOL.
I see a lot of people hating on the last ep (which is why the rating dropped) and I have a few things to say towards…
I know right. I don't think the feud was properly explained. I'd love to know what the novel has to say. P.S. - I did not the novel has a not so happy ending.
I had two things that I would pick a bone with. Sometimes it felt that the show was too good to be true and it…
I understand the notion of escapism and I'm not saying that they show full on kill-the-gay type of gay bashing hating sentimentality, but I don't like the other extreme either. There has to be some semblance of reality in a contemporary show set in contemporary times.
I have a controversial question to ask and perhaps a lot of people might hate me for asking this or might think…
I had two things that I would pick a bone with.
Sometimes it felt that the show was too good to be true and it was not grounded in reality. Let me explain what I mean. There is absolutely no homophobia in the world of Bad Buddy, with many supporting characters going out of their way to express encouragement of same-sex relationships—even before it becomes known that any of the characters are queer themselves. It seemed like a gay utopia and I couldn't help but think that that is so not true of the country the show is set in and in general the world we live in. I'm not saying they show gay hate crimes and gay bashing, but some acknowledgement of difficulties that LGBT folks go through in terms of acceptance would've been welcome.
Second, and this is minor and not specifically related to BB. I have a problem in general with contemporary shows not even acknowlege that the world is still in the midst of a deadly global pandemic. The show seems to be set in a post-pandemic world and there isn't even a fleeting mention of Covid and doesn't reflect the realities of the present day world.
