Oh no, they changed it? That's a shame. They kept saying 14 or 16. I was kind of looking forward to it being so long. Now I'm a little more nervous about what they showed in the trailer.

Right? It was so good, their best kiss yet, and I love that Gun initiates it with all of that confidence. I really hope they kept that in the show. In the new trailer, they're back to the timid, tight-lipped kisses initiated by Off.

It's actually 16 episodes, gonna be especially long.

This looks amazing, but part of me wishes I hadn't seen the original trailer. This feels like a completely different show, and I'm kind of mourning the loss of the first one. I hope the show didn't cut out the good things in the first trailer that don't show up in this one. If I hadn't seen that one, I'd purely be freaking out over how amazing this looks. The action and tension! Please let this show do incredibly well so that we might get more like it in the future. Show the BL industry that this is the content we're looking for, not endless college shows about misunderstandings.

Where? I saw posts about it coming out today, as in within the next 24 hours. Where did you see it?

I think they mean whether or not a romance happens. I've read that Singto's character doesn't end up with anyone, but it was secondhand information, so maybe that's not accurate. I really hope he gets a relationship, though. I read Antique Bakery ages ago, but I barely remember it. I feel like the gay character stays single, though. Could be misremembering.

I'm so scared for when their obstacles create temporary rifts between them. Watching weekly is going to be incredibly painful. x.x

Good to know, thanks. I'm dying to see it, wish they'd show it sooner. But I guess I can wait another week. I've waited this long for the show.

The password thing got me too XD

Exactly! Here's hoping, because they're great together, and they clearly love working together.

I'm surprised so many people felt that way! I fully expected a real kiss, just not one that hot. All of the recent Thai BLs have had real kisses, but I guess people were thinking Ohm and Nanon would be too uncomfortable to really kiss because they're such close friends? But yeah, there are so many BL shows now that shows that don't do real kisses can't compete. I feel like high fives and pecks are a thing of the past, or at least I hope.

A healthy dose of skepticism is always good. Better than getting your hopes up. But I'm seeing enough evidence to make me feel fairly confident that it's right, for a number of reasons.

I'm anxiously waiting for the official announcement, but I've seen several places cite an image where the details were listed. It's the official promo for the show. Buuut I can't read Thai, so they could be lying, I guess. I feel like someone would have called them out, though. It would have been stupid of them not to do this, though, and they've been saying it would definitely come out this year. We all knew that Bad Buddy wouldn't be done airing, so I had to assume they'd open up another slot. I just figured since I'm relatively new to BL dramas, everyone insisting there was only one slot just knew more about it than me. I'm glad to see GMMTV adapting.

They're growing up and adapting. I mean, even the one at the end of the Not Me trailer was way more mature than previous kisses. Seriously though, someone was saying the other day that we'd obviously get nothing more than a peck because the show is "PG-13," and I was like, yeah right. They have to compete with the BL boom. But I tell ya what, I was not expecting that. Above and beyond.

Agreed! This show is blowing my mind. It's SO good. The only show I'm looking forward to as much at this point is Not Me, so I have high hopes for both. Also, if OhmNanon isn't a ship after this, these guys are gonna be seriously missing out on some income potential. That chemistry is no joke.

Haha, I'm still reeling. XD

UGH, THIS SHOW IS KILLING ME! It's so freaking good! I had no idea it was gonna be like this! Talk about underestimating something. Waiting each week is going to be so painful.

There's an air date!!! They opened a new slot for another BL series, it looks like! https://twitter.com/OffGunFunLandVN/status/1464103128639234049

Welp, I spoke too soon! Not Me just got a new time slot! So it'll be airing alongside the rest of Bad Buddy, it looks like! Enchante should be next in line!

These companies aren't stupid. They're basing their choices on an algorithm, but it isn't reflective of today's audience. Why would their straight dramas be fine with multiple slots, but two BL shows will kill the popularity and views? If anything, it would bring MORE views to the channel, because people will be watching both shows. It could be tied to the tendency to cater to those considered "the default" (straight, often male, light-skinned in most places, etc.), while throwing crumbs to the "other," which is everyone else. Homophobia is alive and well, and even in markets that claim to cater to the LGBT+ community, there's hesitation. Companies shift under the viewpoint of the cultural majority, because that's where the most money is. It's why in the states we have so many pro-LGBT companies now. They wouldn't dream of being for gay rights in the past, because they wanted money from the largest bulk of people. They stayed neutral as long as they could until they saw the rise in potential profit, due to the older generation dying off. It's frustrating as a viewer, either way. I understand quite well the kinds of stupid decisions go into creating these kinds of limitations, and I hate that it takes so long to change.
