#this series is taking over me

Bad Buddy has once again showed us how yes, it’s a queer show, a BL for sure, but a queer show with the intention to show us how real gay people live in today’s society.
Now, some of you might tell me that I’m reading too much between the lines as it’s still a GMMTV series and full of cliches, but to me this series is the perfect example of how a BL can also be a queer show.
For me a BL is a show with gay people that act in ways and situations that would be unusual in real world, that never say the word ‘gay’, that often use the ‘’I don’t like boys, I only like you’’ line, that only shows parents as negative figures or doesn’t show them at all! I mean, you know what I mean (and if you don’t, go watch Lovely Writer that talks about toxic BL culture a lot)
Bad Buddy instead is showing us what queer people really want to see, love.
That easy.
Yes, the drama is fun, otherwise it wouldn’t be a rom-com! But the sweet and tender moments we get to see through Pat and Pran are almost non-existent in other BLs where intimacy is mistaken with sexual times and hugs and cuddles are overlooked with the fear of certain masculine looking characters and actors might not look masculine enough.
Bad Buddy doesn’t do that, it’s shameless in the way it shows both sexual innuendos and affectionates touches that have nothing to do with bed related things.
Pat and Pran here look their ages, not grown ups in university or naive boys that act like they’ve never seen adult contents.
It’s both the director (and his team) and Ohm-Nanon’s work, I know that, but it’s so refreshing to see something that can be categorized in the BL rom-com ‘genre’ but can also be believable from a queer point of view

I probably have a lot more to say about it but I hope that people that had the same impression as I did can add their view on this!!
