One of the most beautifully portrayed enemies to lovers show out there
I absolutely adored this show . It had everything romance , amazing actors , phenomenal production beautiful directing . Bad Buddy is a very sweet show overall . Bad Buddy really lives up to it's name because that covers the essence of the show , Pat and Pran are bad at being friends because there's always been so much more between them. I also loved how they tried not to be too cliche .ACTING: The acting was honestly some of the best work that I have ever seen from GMMTV actors. Shoutout to the casting team because everyone literally EVERYONE had amazing chemistry. The main actors , supporting actors , even the parents had chemistry with their spouses. None of them seemed out of place which made the story so much more believable. People don't understand how important it is for supporting cast to be just as good as the main actors. A bad supporting cast can literally drag down the entire show so props to the entire cast they did a superb job. Can GMMTV make a show for DrakeJimmy ?? because they're so cute byee..
Holy Moly the chemistry between PatPran was everything it was cute and funny and steamy . I could never imagine anyone else being the main actors besides Ohm Nanon . They brought life to a story that honestly could have been boring . They embodied their characters so well. I honestly believed that they were in love. They have the healthiest relationship I have ever seen portrayed in a BL. This is what a relationship with clear communication looks like. When there's misunderstandings you clear it up right away and communicate your feelings. I loved watching them grow together. This is one of my favourite pieces of work from Ohm . His dialogue scenes were my favourite at some point in his career he should try voice acting I'm in love with his voice and his ability to change the tones of it depending on the feeling his happy voice is not the same as his sad or angry voice . I love how he's improved his acting through his facial expressions as well . For me he is the perfect Pat. Nanon on the other hand really came for our necks. Alot of people weren't familiar with some of his previous works but in Bad Buddy he showed that he is such a natural actor . His acting in this is extremely charming I think everyone immediately fell in love with his acting. Ohm and Nanon work well together and I sincerely hope to see them act together again. 10/10
STORY : I won't say much about the story . It's honestly stereotypical and not much is actually happening. Just your average romeo and juliet type story . The actors and directing/ production team made it beautiful. 7.5/10 (I have to be honest)
DIRECTING/SCREEN WRITING : I think P'Aof has become one of my favourite Thai BL directors. It was beautifully done. Him and the entire production team managed to present us a perfect story to watch . There were scenes that I would have liked to watch on screen from the book however the show from start to finish was so well done that it doesn't even matter. I loved how they mocked stereotypes of BL's in Bad Buddy it was entertaining to see that they do actually read and take note of fans comments on other shows. I didn't read the ending of the book but I was happy to see a couple that doesn't break up because of others disapproval. It was such a plot twist because I was getting ready to cry in the last episode but instead I didn't need the tissues because I was just so purely happy. 10/10
MUSIC/PRODUCTION : The music was beautiful and light . The production was so well done. One thing that GMMTV excels in in the Thai BL market is Production. Nanon has such a pleasing voice as well. 10/10
COSTUMES : Okay so I just added this category because I needed to rant. What was up with their clothes after 4 years ? Geez it's only been 4 years so why were they dressed up like grandfathers or fathers of 3 children lol. Especially Nanon in the scene at the graduation party . WHO IS RESPOSIBLE ??????? Because why ? like what was the reason ? They were in their late 20's not late 30's lol.
Anyway please watch this show it was great . This is such a feel good drama and I'm going to miss it so much !!!
