I have been waiting for this series for so long ever since the first trailer was dropped last year. Ohm and Nanon are leads, the story is interesting and it made me very intrigued, and on top of that, P'Aof is the director. It's impossible for me not to like it. I tend to be very picky on the shows I watch and I have actually lost interest in Thai BL dramas when a surge of mediocre dramas started to take over the past years. One day, when I was scrolling on YouTube, GMMTV2021 livestream was on my recommended videos, and I was curious of what kind of series they have to offer. Coincidentally, when I opened the stream, Bad Buddy was next to be shown. The first trailer was playing on the screen and I really didn't think much of it. I thought it was another series about school, mystery, detective of some sort, like Blacklist and The Gifted, which is the forte of Nanon and well, he was definitely the main character. The cast was also kind of familiar, there were Nanon, Ohm, Drake, Love, and all of those other gmmtv actors whom I have seen in other dramas before. BUT, as the trailer gets to the middle I was like... "Is this actually a BL?!?" I was shocked, it never crossed my mind that the trailer playing in front of me was actually a BL series. The trailer comes to an end and the main cast walked on the stage and I was zoning out, haha. I was not expecting Nanon to act in a BL series this year, but I am not complaining, I like it already. I've known Nanon for a while and it's a given that he is a GREAT Actor. Everybody knows that, especially if they have watched most of his shows. I can even say that he belongs in the top 3 best actors in gmmtv. For Ohm, I have only seen two of his works, which is He is Coming to Me, which is also directed by P'Aof (It's amazing, really) and Blacklist. I can say that he can act, as well. The pairing of the both of them made everyone shookt, no one saw it coming. I just know that they are very good friends for years, as they are part of gmmtv's 2000 line with Chimon. While both Ohm and Nanon can act, they never overshadowed the other. They have AMAZING chemistry and the director thought that there was no need to built it further because it is already natural for the two. Ohm as Pat and Nanon as Pran... them playing these roles are perfect! Even P'Aof thinks that they are the only people who can be Pat and Pran ever since the beginning. It is still on its 5th episode but it's going really great. The people who are watching can't wait another week for the next episode. The plot and build up is exciting and captivating that you are being pulled to the story of Pat and Pran as every episode is released. The OST plays a huge part in the series and it is sung by Nanon. Just Friend? (the title) is a great song and it's been on repeat ever since it was released. When one talks about this series, you must not skip the details. It's the DETAILS that gives you all the feels. The amazing acting and the details, you can't help but say... wow. I have waited for so long for this series to air and the wait was worth it. The cast, director, staff, everyone behind this amazing series, kudos to you all. It's been so long since I felt so giddy over a Thai series but THIS IS IT. It's definitely in the top of my favorite series of all time, even if it's still on its 5th episode. I may have rated its rewatch value as 9 stars but it's only because I can't stand Pat's friends at times and also those fight scenes that I tend to skip when rewatching. However, it is still great overall. In conclusion, I love Bad Buddy so much.
