I am not so sure Bad Buddy has much to do with it, but it could be the overall improvement of BL in recent years…
I've just seen a lot of mentions of Bad Buddy during its weeks of airing. I'm by no means saying this is the biggest reason .. it just something I've noticed.
I personally found this show very enjoyable. I feel like ppl are being a bit hard on it *partly* because it followed Bad Buddy. I get not all shows are for everyone, but still.
I actually liked the drama/angst in the last episode .. I just wish it happened in an episode earlier so the last episode wasn't completely consumed by it though.
At first the second hand embarrassment and how much Toh went overboard made me kinda cringe and laugh sometimes. I think it's gotta way easier to handle... the creepy stuff Toh use to do it less and makes it more fun to watch.
And Billy and Seng have such amazing chemistry. They just never look stiff or uncomfortable with each other.
The more episodes.. the more I'm convinced Enchante is the same as the novel (I have not read it, but ppl who have have said how it is in the book).. which I personally hope for and really like.
I'm only on the 7th episode and I'm LOVING it so far. My only annoyance is unnecessary crush that Kim Ji Woong has. I personally think it would have been better to ditch the need for a 2ML and just have him be both of their good friends without the romantic feelings.
