Breaking stereotypes, more than just a cute plot with cringey lines

A non-cringe, healthy, and progressive storyline that breaks Thai BL stereotypes. PatPran portrayed their emotions so well and I could always feel the emotions of the scene even without conversations. It's cute, serious, and funny all in one, and it filled my heart to the brim after watching their story. I love how the scenes just make sense from layering one after another and how some quotes can be used for multiple scenarios in the series. This show really showed how you can love someone in many different ways without having to verbalise in plain words, and also fully expressed how love is love, regardless of gender. no unnecessary drama, just full of great content, bad buddy is my series of the year. Extra shoutout to the OSTs, super cute and really expressed the POVs of Pran alone, Pat alone, and then PatPran POV together.
0.5 deducted cause of minor impractical ways the casts communicated (e.g. in the middle of stairs) and rare actors' lack of immersion making some scenes seem less realistic.

I personally loved it because this show broke stereotypes, and showed us that Thai BLs could be so much more than goosebumps-filled plots and scripted gazes. It was not only a show, but also an educational journey of acceptance and living in the modern era, not forcing society to accept us, but not forcing ourselves to conform to society.

See you next time, peach
