just what I needed.
I cannot put into words how I exactly felt during this series. It's like someone had known all the things I would love to watch and put them in one drama. Firstly, I was already a big fan of Ohm and Nanon, their work always pleased me and I even rewatched their projects a few times. On December 3rd of 2020, when Bad Buddy was announced, I absolutely freaked out, not only because of the super fun plot, but also because my favorite boys (and my favorite girl Love) would be the protagonists on that show. I didn't even watch the trailer a second time, because I wanted to forget about the scenes so I could watch the show without already expecting something to happen.
There were hard times, Nanon got covid, the filming was postponed, as well as the airing date. A lot of things were going wrong, but I always persisted. I never stopped believing Bad Buddy was going to be IT. Everytime I remembered it was going to be a real series with dear actors, I would put on a big smile and search for updates. When GMMTV announced they would come to life on October 29th, I got so happy. When I watched the first episode, I got even happier. It's not a joke, their chemistry is UNMATCHED. The scenes were funny and goofy as I was expecting from a gmm BL series. The dialogues I'd been waiting for, the bickering I'd been waiting for, the LOVE STORY I'd been waiting for. Everything on that freaking show had me completely insane!
About the main leads, Ohm and Nanon are such great actors, I've got nothing to complain about that. Ohm is amazing with emotional, clingy and goofy scenes, Pat was the perfect role for him as he resembles the other so much. Nanon is just the BEST at expressing trivial feelings, his precise delivery got me thrilled, because his past recent roles were full of angst and serious faces. Now, even though there were angsty parts, he was able to portray a lighter character, who frequently smiles and laughs. Their gaze, their sparks, their touching, every little detail was what made my heart so fulfilled. Not to mention their improvised scenes, it was such a good addition! I would go on about these two boys for hours, but I don't want my review to be THAT long. Well, I love them very much!
The side characters had their function on the show of course. Although I don't like Wai, only we (the viewers) know what he did to PatPran. He wasn't punished so I just stopped caring about him honestly. Korn has his flaws but at least he was a great friend to Pat when everything seemed to be falling apart. Now, the stars on this path of side characters: INK AND PA! I would never imagine that Aof would create a storyline for two girls falling in love omg I absolutely LOVED it. That scene in the park when Ink offered to take photos of Pa just to fool around was the first sign, I was already thinking "Hm, WHAT IF these two become a couple..." but I didn't know they would seriously make this happen, and I am so happy that they did. Even with just a few scenes, nothing was rushed and implicit, they got their moment and even more than I expected. Kisses for InkPa my beloved!
About the main plot, I got really happy that they weren't apart because of their parents. When we all found out they pretended to break up, I let out the biggest sigh of relief and started laughing SO hard I love them so much ughhhh. Aof did a brilliant job changing the climax (because in the novel Pran is transfered to live abroad because her mom sent him). Pran was indeed away, but because he CHOSE to. He saw a job opportunity that seemed interesting and had an agreement with Pat that they would still be together. Just the best couple of all time... I was already a fan of Tilly Birds, but now when I listen to them I sometimes think of PatPran, it's always a beautiful moment.
Final thoughts: this show added a big amount of happiness and love inside my heart. I am really proud to say I was here since the beggining of this beautiful journey (and even before, since I watch everything Ohm and Nanon do). It brought recognition, and a lot of LGBTs felt comforted while watching it. ALL my "thank yous" to the cast and crew, they were phenomenal. I'm going to miss them a lot, and I will surely rewatch it with my friends when I recommend it to them :D It's now one of my favorite BL series.
