i’m definitely going to miss this series. it’s probably the best thai drama i’ve seen yet and one of the best mlm romances i’ve seen. with bad buddy, p’aof created a series with such a healthy relationship that counters all the toxicity and fetishization that happens in so many of these dramas. he confronts multiple of the harmful stereotypes through this story. it’s filled with both adorable and emotional moments. it includes both wlw and mlm. it’s got some absolutely beautiful shots. and, last but not least, ohm and nanon have such a comfortable friendship with each other that their chemistry is one unmatched—they’re so close with each other that it really makes their relationship feel real.

what i think is most important in this though is that p’aof is, himself, a gay man. so much of mlm media is created by women. so much of it is created for the sake of fetishization. this show is great because you can tell how much love and care p’aof squeezed into it: through the actors, through the writing, through its entire being. it’s going to be a long, long time until i see an mlm drama that surpasses bad buddy.
