Did everything that mattered right
The thing I liked the most about this show was how it grabbed our expectations of already known cliches and turned them into something slightly different, but that made a lot of difference in the end. Bad Buddy is a character based show, so the plot is not really the main focus here, but rather how the characters and their actions influence in how the situations play out. And the way the writers built these characters was perfect. Pat and Pran had depth, they had their own personalities that were never brushed aside to fit any desired plot development. This is what makes this show so refreshing, despite it not being unique in plot, concept and ambientation.
I'd also like to praise the structure of this series. Each episode was built on a different process of the overall plot and each of these "arcs" started and ended in a single episode. There were never pieces of a diagram that we felt like they were missing at the end of each episode. It was satisfying. And each episode ended in a way that introduced a minor narrative for the next one. That's certainly the case with many other shows out there, but compared to other GMMTV BL shows that take several episodes to get to some point of a specific narrative, I found this a very good choice. It made the experience of following the show every week more exciting.
There's nothing left to say about Ohm and Nanon that hasn't been said by other people at this point. They were amazing. Their performances were intense, their chemistry together was perfect and they delivered those goddamn KISSES that no one was expecting them to deliver. What a blessing it is to have these two as a BL ship. Idk what the future holds for them but I'd really love to see them in another BL show, playing as a couple. Maybe something more serious than Bad Buddy.
Love that this show introduced a GL couple. InkPa were lovely and the only thing missing was a kiss, I guess. But I only noticed that after I saw someone mentioning the lack of it so maybe it wasn't really missing to me. Baby steps.
Don't have anything to say about the music, I barely paid attention to that. I know I really loved the BGMs playing in the last part of episode 5 (the best BL episode of all time) and I know I didn't really like the amount of sound effects they used throughout the series.
THE LAST EPISODE. I have seen many opinions of people who loved it and who didn't love it, but my opinion is that it was what made the most sense for those characters in that point of their lives. Of course this or that might have seemed a bit forced and whatnot, but it didn't bother me too much. What I think is that when we watch a show with characters as rich as Pat and Pran, we need to look at the given situations with their eyes, not with ours. They are their own characters after all. They have their own personalities, their own vision of the world, their own life history. What might feel right in our perspective might not be what feels right for the characters perspective. This is the case for any other show too.
Overall, I'm really happy because I anticipated this show since it was announced and I believe this is the first time something I anticipated so much for so long has me completely satisfied. Congrats to Aof, Ohm and Nanon because they truly delivered here.
Rewatch value? Lol Idk, but I will probably never watch this again as a whole. It's TOO LONG! I'm an impatient person. But this show will stay in my heart as a really great drama that did everything that mattered right.
