Finally a BL that doesn't follow the norms
Note: This review is a personal opinion it's still your choice to agree with this or not :) Also, English isn't my native language so I'm really sorry for the grammar errors!
I've been watching bls since 2019 that's why I can confidently say Bad Buddy is the best among the rest that I've watched. Bad Buddy isn't like the typical enemies to lovers series (like SOTUS). They've tackled some important issues like how toxic the asian household is and how we shouldn't bring the hetero norms in a same sex relationship. Even though there's some plot holes like ... does Pat's parents know that Pran saved Pa when they were younger? And does Pat know that Pran kept the old watch he gave to him? but the show is still a 10/10 :))
PatPran/OhmNanon
Please stop the top-bottom conversation :sob: This couple showed us that in a same-sex relationship, no one is wife or husband. They also have the healthiest relationship in BL. What's the secret? Communication :) Loved how they speak up what's on their mind instead of keeping it themselves. Thank you so much Ohm and Nanon for bringing Pat and Pran into life. This is what we get if we bring great actors in a series instead of just looking at visuals.
InkPa/MilkLove
THANK YOU SO MUCH P'AOF BUT GIVE US A SPIN-OFF. Usually in BLs, women are used to discover the male lead's feelings but that's not the case in Bad Buddy! Yes, Pat realized his feelings towards Pran after confessing to Ink but spoiler alert !!! She rejected Pat because she likes Pa since high school! At first, I doubted that they'll end up together because it seems like they just have a Junior-Senior relationship because of how the way Ink behaves with Pa during the first half of the series but something shifted after episode 8! I love this couple so much that I was looking forward to see them together again next episode (still mad with at that 7 sec screentime at ep 11 >:( ).
Ink is so matured, he didn't questioned Pat at all to keep the fact that Pat and Pran were classmates in high school and she just go along with it. For Pa, I thought she will be like those annoying sibling in other BLs but they proved me wrong! She helped Pat to discover his feelings using the 4 signs though it failed horribly to Ink but it worked to Pran! The confession scene is perfect, the way Pa's voice cracked the moment she spoke what's on her mind made me sad, Ink and Pa deserve everything what they have right now :( As far as I know Ink was supposed to be played by Love and Milk as Pa, thank god they switched their characters. I couldn't imagine Milk as Pa, though she's a good actress (same with Love!) Words couldn't explain how happy am I for them but I wish they'll have a spin-off or another MilkLove GL, they shed a light on how wlw couples should be instead of giving them tragic endings (7 Project Episode 3 I'm looking at you :/).
Pat and Pa
I love their sibling dynamics! Pat is a good brother, he let Pa to speak up first before him and let her decide whatever she does in life. Pa is a good younger sister as well, she guided Pat throughout his love journey.
WaiKorn/Jimmy and Drake
Fuck Wai and Korn, there I said it. Thank fucking god they didn't end up together. I don't care whether they had a redemption arc or not BECAUSE WHAT THEY DID WAS WRONG. Wai outed Pran and Pran doesn't know he was the one who did it. If I were Pran, I will cut off ties with him forever. Wai should respect Pran's choice to kept Pat and Pran's relationship a secret instead of dropping the damn curtains. Korn's behavior isn't excused as well even though he accepted his friend's relationship with Pran that quick. He bullied Wai just because he's from Architecture faculty. Is it because he likes Wai? What kind of love language was that? But I commend Jimmy and Drake's acting, they did well, their acting was convincing to the point I was annoyed of their characters everytime I see them on screen.
The other characters
Pat and Pran's other friends isn't that memorable to the point that I already forgot their names, I am sorry. Fuck Pat's dad for stealing Pran's mom's scholarship, but that doesn't excuse the fact she controlled Pran's life.
Music
The OSTs are perfect as well! They've matched what Pat and Pran felt throughout the series.
Rewatch Value
I'll probably rewatch this for InkPa! Sorry PatPran haha,,,,
