This was a nice fun watch in one evening. Not great but fun. Story was very thin but I liked it. The cliffhanger at the end annoyed me a bit but in the BTS that came afterwards they clearly said "we will see you again" so there must be a season 2 which is nice, I will watch it. Kissing was great. Nothing special, but worth a watch for a nice comforting evening with a glass of wine.
I liked it although it wasn't a BL. It was fun, the boys were cute, it was just easy entertainment with a goofy story. It would have been better though if they would have developed some love relationships between some of them, especially as one of them definitely falls in love with a friend, but okay, so be it. I was waiting for some love confession and a real kiss all the time.... 6.5/10.
This was great. A solid 9/10 from me. It wasn't boring or dragging at all for me as some others commented here. Handsome actors, a nice story and a very pleasing ending! I won't say no to a season 2 :)
I'm a bit late to the game, just finished episode 5 and I really like it so far. Now I'm reading all the negativity here and that's kind of surprising. There was no dragging so far at all.
It was good, not great. However I loved how they wrapped up things in the last episode. There were some illogical things as well (aka: "why did person x not just do this instead") but overall I liked it. It was violent at times but not as horrible as some people describe it here. Sometimes my impression is that many people on this page shouldn't watch a show like this which is intended for adults, if they are not, and then complain about violence they cannot cope with. This is not a romantic K-drama and Netflix clearly states it's for ages 16 and up.
Fantastic! You need to watch this at the Japanese Film Festival Online as long as it's available, it's so comforting and so well done. What a wonderful film about youth and the pleasure of filmmaking as well!
The final episode had two really lovely scenes, the confession (finally…) and the dialogue „this is the happiest moment in my life“ and a short scene of them both waking up in arms saying „I love you“ to each other. This brought tears to my eyes.Unfortunately the final episode couldn’t save the whole series which started so strong and then fell flat with no development over the majority of episodes, with the biggest issues being able to say „I like you“ to someone who already confessed and who is a childhood friend. This was too unrealistic and frustrating to me, also the „kiss“ if you can tell it one (…). Main leads were really cute.Overall 6/10 - J-BL can do a bit better.
I like Japanese BLs very much but recently in so many shows there's always someone so timid to even say "I like you" for most episodes of a series which is so unrealistic. Episode 7 was a bit frustrating. I was already fearing that we get the typical one-episode-before-the-finale-something-bad-happens thing, well, not to a big extent but here we are. So episode 8 gives us 20 minutes to fix everything up. I'd really love to see a J-BL show where the main couple is happy for at least 50% of the time and celebrating their love instead of 10 minutes at the end...
Just watched and finished Bad Buddy for the first time ever. Such a great series. I loved it. The two leads Ohm and Nanon were awesome. In love with especially Nanon now ;D I wasn't 100% satisfied with the last episode though, but it was okay. Another thing I could criticise was the sound. There were parts where there was really always loud music playing, in every scene. Not necessary. 9/10 for me, almost perfect and a pretty high rewatch value.
Well, that was it. I somehow liked it, otherwise I wouldn't have watched it completely. The acting was pretty awkward but somehow also cute. It was much too long. So much dragging and for a couple of episodes basically absolutely nothing was happening except pork blood soup eating. They sat next to the porkblood soup stand on the rooftop and scenes of the past were repeated in slow motion in every episode, they watched the stars, episode over. The very thin story could have been told in maximum 6 episodes. No spice, no real kiss, no chemistry between the main leads. Not really a BL from my pov. More like a campy vampire friendship story. YourMood's character saved a lot for me, he was funny and quirky. The ending was not very satisfying for a BL viewer. Overall, it was fun at times but that's it. More like targeted towards children. A generous 5.5/10.
That was really cool. 6 episodes with a nice pace, tension throughout, well-portrayed characters, solid action and CGI and a good soundtrack. I really hope season 2 will come. I would be surprised if this is not a success. 8.5/10.
This is a really cute and enjoyable show so far. Handsome actors and the main leads act so cute together. I love it so far. And episode 5 seems to give us some more classic J-BL fluffiness scenes, can't wait!
Now that I read a lot about the ending there are indeed both possible endings, according to the viewer’s imagination. For me though, I never thought of a bad ending even after the second viewing. It has a wonderful positive ending for me (and that makes only sense to me) :)
No idea how you guys often think they died in the end. i‘ve never had this impression even after watching it twice. they happily escape in the end. the director himself confirmed that they survived (see links somewhere below) ☺️
After watching this gem for the first time in June 2023 at the Filmfest Munich which was a worldwide premiere I think, I went to see it again with my mom when it has finally been released in cinemas nationwide in Germany this late March (almost a year later…). I left the cinema in tears again, it‘s so emotional for me.
I was again so flashed with this movie. It is perfect in everything, from the intelligent storytelling to the music, cinematography, with fantastic, wonderful actors. This is my personal favorite movie of 2023 and will be in my top alltime list. Don’t miss this one! 10/10.
Loved it. Finally some mature BL again with a good short storyline, handsome actors and also great chemistry between the main leads. Real mature realistic relationship. The distancing thing was a bit unnecessary but I already expected something like that for episode 5 as the 4th ended almost too happily. 8.5/10.
Handsome boys but unfortunately I just didn’t feel it even after 8 episodes. Some unnecessary behavioural changes, like screaming and a few minutes later all is forgotten. Background stories were not really done well, eg I would have loved to learn more about the brother‘s story and what happened. Seheon and Doyoon would have been the better match, they had a lot of chemistry as best friends in the show (and Doyoon is sooooo handsome 😍) Not more than 6/10 from me.
Very well filmed, great cinematography and actors, but ultimately more than disappointing. This was not what I was expecting. 8 episodes that always gave me a feeling "next episode something important will happen" and it never came. It just ended, like the first episode started. This was definitely not a BL, but a show about friendship and (hidden) feelings. 5/10.
