Two people who can't be friends can't help but be more than just friends.
I have had my fair share of Thai BLs over the years but there is something very special about this one that makes it stand out from the rest.It's about two people who were born to be rivals because of their parents but that rivalry soon grows into friendship and into love. The story is something that is new or different, it's been seen and done so many times before in every language ever possible, Romeo and Juliet being the most classic example. But the directors were able to take that simple plot and execute it so well that it stood out from anything else.
The story was fresh, all the nasty and evil BL norms were thrown out the window and a fresh plot was given. For the first time after a very long while, a healthy BL couple was introduced to the audience. They didn't have one strong lead who was good at everything and one weak lead who was only just average. There was no abuse or rape and it wasn't romanticized either. None of the leads forced the other to do something and they talked through every problem they had.
It had the light and fluffy feeling that you look for in such a drama which takes place in university. And for once it actually felt like a normal university drama where everyone was doing things that a normal university student would do. What I really like is that the cast were also quite young and in university age themselves so it actually felt like you were watching a campus drama. You didn't have a bunch of old people trying to act like young adults and you could see the youthfulness in the cast's faces make it enjoyable to watch. The drama shows the nature of young adults so beautifully by showing their rivalry, the way they joke around and just live their life to their fullest. The cute little scenes when they are teasing each other, flirting and singing songs together.
There is a certain charm to Bad Buddy that makes you attached to it, and it is an attachment that you won't be able to let go of easily. I have never seen any Thai BL that can compete with Bad Buddy and I don't think there will ever be one.

Why you should watch Falling Into Your Smile
Falling Into Your Smile was the first c-drama I ever watched and I fell in love with it the moment I started watching it. Since it was my first drama I kept wondering whether I would like it or not but Falling Into Your Smile exceeded my expectations and I will never regret watching it. It is an e-sports drama so a lot of the drama is about the game and the gamers. I never knew that there was such a thing as e-sports before and I have never been into gaming but I still found the drama very interesting even though I knew nothing about e-sports at all. They explain about the game quite a bit so you don't feel completely lost. The director shows very well how a pro-gamers life is and the different problems and criticism that they go through and receive. The drama gives a great message about how gamers are not computer addicts like many people think, you can see how passionate they are about their career, and my respect for pro-gamers has grown through watching Falling Into Your Smile. The friendship and the relations between the groups and team members were shown very well and they also showed how parents are not supportive of their kids becoming gamers and the story just felt very realistic. The story wasn't dragged on and was fun to watch.Every actor did a great job with their acting and they showed the emotions of their characters in such a good and natural way. I'm still wondering how the director found so many handsome and talented people to act in his drama. Everyone was just so handsome, even the only two female leads were so beautiful and they all were just amazing at acting. Everyone did great with the acting and I have nothing to complain about.
Falling Into Your Smile was written in a way where you can never get tired of the story. I personally have seen this drama multiple times and I still find it equally fun and entertaining to watch every time. Falling Into Your Smile is a great drama to watch if you want something that is not too long but is still entertaining with some comedy, friendship and romance. This is a drama I would recommend if you are new to c-dramas and you want something that can give you an idea of what c-dramas are like. This was my first c-drama and after watching it I just got obsessed with c-dramas ever since and i think others will also be if they watch it, this drama is definitely worth the high rating. Both people who like gaming and those who know little to nothing or don't like gaming will equally enjoy this drama.
