bad buddy is THE bl show

now where do i start... i'll try to keep it short

STORY AND ACTING/CAST

at first i thought that it was going to be a very basic and average bl, but oh boy i was wrong.
yeah the plot might not be that outstanding at first, but this series really shows that even basic plots CAN be done well
because now to my point: the fact that ohm and nanon were chosen to act as pat and pran makes this series what it is.

i had not seen any prior works from nanon before bad buddy, i had seen ohm somewhere but hadn't finished any of the series that he acted in. first of all, i'd be lying if i said that i didn't end up having a crush on nanon after this mess.
i admire his ability to act out AS that character, he never fails to portray the character perfectly and i've seen this from some of his other series that i watched while waiting for new bbs eps.

i liked nanon's acting from the start, but oh that one friday, when ep 4 was aired, it was the turning point for me in this series. his acting in the ending scene really got the feelings delivered to me, my heart hurt and i will never forget it.
from that point onward i really saw how great this series was going to be.

ofc ohm is an amazing actor as well, but i feel like nanon gave his all for this series, it doesn't feel like his first bl series

the acting can really change someone's opinion about a show, even if it has a good unique plot, if the acting is terrible you don't want to watch it,,,
for bad buddy, i can say that nanon and ohm did justice to the plot and their characters.

their chemistry is also undeniably one of the best, since they've been friends for a very long time and are comfortable with each other.
the fact that a very good amount of the kiss scenes were unscripted,, oh don't get me started.


i love how they also destroyed the "i'm straight and the only man i love is you" things and the husband and wife dynamic, breaking standards and curses, we stan.

-

MUSIC

every single one song in the ost is very enjoyable, 100% in my playlist and stuck in my head
the lyrics portray the series well and they fit the theme, also i love nanon's voice
did i mention i love nanon, yes anyways

-

REWATCH VALUE

10/10 would , AND WILL watch again, no questions asked.

-

OVERALL

i don't really have anything remarkably negative to say, it's a masterpiece and i hope that ohm and nanon will act as a pair again because they CAN make it work,, but it's also fine if they don't since then this series will be the special one.

this is my 1. drama this year

yes this contains spoilers so read with your own caution
and this is a long rant hahaha i love this sm

there's so much i can say about this drama but i don't have all that much time to tell EVERYTHING

this was so perfect
the only minus was the amount of slow motion used, they could've made the episodes
a bit shorter... the length is the only thing holding me back from rewatching and rewatching it

- i like how there was a bit of romance but it was not the main part of the series

- the action scenes are everything, they are so well made

- and the humor is spectacular hahaha

- it was so good that i even watched it with my dad (it was his first kdrama and he liked it)

- this drama has a good teaching: "only the evil can beat the evil" as vincenzo in the drama refers himself as a scumbag who cleans other scumbags.

- chayoung is portrayed as literally the perfect image i have of a strong woman.

the jang brothers are literally my fav characters in this:
1. jang hanseok, i love me a hot psychopath (IN DRAMAS NOT IRL PLEASE), yes please.

also i love taecyeon sm. he did SUCH A GOOD JOB acting as a psychopath. i will NEVER shut up about how well he portrayed jang hanseok. because that's how psychopaths are, well mannered and seem normal on the outside but on the inside they can be real monsters.

do i even need to explain, during the first eps i already fell in love with the
cute intern junwoo and his quirky personality and random uses of english, we stan
(tbh i saw a edit of him and it kinda spoiled me but i didn't see much of the scenes of him being crazy but enough to realise he was the bad guy and basically i kinda
started watching it just because of him... yes i'm shameless)

the hockey stick scene,,, the scene where he choked hanseo,,, i literally watched those(and the others,, all the crazy scenes)while my heart was beating fast and i was in shock
and also i automatically whispered "he's so hot"WHEN HE WAS BEATING A PERSON TO
DEATH WITH A HOCKEY STICK
i am broken please help me

2. jang hanseo had such good character developement and he deserved so much better,,,
i literally cried my eyes out when i first watched the last eps
only during the time i was rewatching i realised the small bits about his character that made
me so in love
i could see he really cared for vincenzo and saw him as his real brother
he had gone through a lot of abuse and suffered so much during his life, he was willing to

sacrifice himself to save vincenzo and chayoung
and thus he finally died, in the arms of his abuser
i'm left wondering if his dad had just gotten help for him and reported hanseok for his crimes (uh yeah killing his freaking classmates) could've he lived a happy life?

still he died as a hero and he made it as my favorite character in the whole series. and he stole my heart<3 hanseo best boi
