@icarusdiesatdawn Your tag: 🤩 #I'm currently watching a youtuber react to bad buddy and it's giving me so many feelings again

Hey are you watching Fabi reacting to Bad Buddy? I've been following his reaction videos, and it's so much fun watching a newbie experience it for the first time:

Fabi's very astute and picks up on things really accurately (so much so I think his followers must be giving him hints in the comments! 😂). The reaction videos also show the episodes in their entirety, so it's very much like a live rewatch alongside a friend who's completely new to BBS. I'm totally charmed and it's almost like experiencing Bad Buddy for the first time all over again (three years after the magic first landed). 🥰💖

Isn't it just the cutest? The outfits are the same as in PatPran's Ep.12 [4/4] 12.47 tin-can conversation across their balconies (down to the little smiley on Pat's t-shirt that we first saw at Ep.1 [3‌/4] 3.40).

And check out the posters on Pran's bedroom walls! You can see them at Ep.12 [4/4] 7.43 too. 😍

Bad Buddy [EP 1-2]

Ok, so to follow through with my Bad Buddy watch I decided to do some random thoughts check-in every two episodes. Before I get into it - a small disclaimer. I've watched a decent amount of bl from different countries and I know of BB through bl tumblr because how can you not. I saw a couple of scenes from the show without any context, I've seen gifs, I've seen it being put in the superlatives or rec lists, I know how it ends, etc. - a general "my mutuals love this show" experience.

It's amazing how production values evolved over the last couple of years. BB feels raw in a "we don't have much money but we're trying to make a most of it" kind of sense. Also, it pains me a little that background music sounds so generic.

Should I play a "how many gmmtv boys can I find in the background" kind of game? I should cause there are so many familiar faces (that I bet weren't that familiar back then).

Are we gonna keep making parallels between Pat and Pran and their families all the time? I am a parallel girlie, I ain't complaining. The fact that they made them classical music vs rock is endearing.

I forgot how much I love the "we are in each other space because we have to hide" trope. Maybe I'll beg @wanderlust-in-my-soul for a compilation one day if a gifset of that sort doesn't exist yet.

Of all those angry boys I like Korn the most. Also, why are they so prone to violence all the time. It's a uni not high school, please.

I have no idea if I read somewhere that Pran was crushing on Pat first or Nanon's eyes in the episodes are telling me so. Anyways, the chemistry is chemistrying on both sides. It's delicious though.

WTF is the parent's grudge all about? That school flashback was heartbreaking and very Romeo and Juliet-coded. Also, the two leads bring so much vulnerability and like, depth to some of the scenes that you kind of know there's a second or a third layer to all of the issues presented (that I desperately want to know more about!!)

But I also love how they bicker cause it brings out the best "just kiss already" feelings in me.

Oh, and a shoutout to Pa, the only reasonable person in this show. Just stop doing Pat's laundry girl, he is a grown-up person with two capable hands.

Looking forward to what comes next!

No because do you understand how much power a show must have that even after three years of it having aired, the minute it is removed from complete accessibility of the viewers- it is immediately clocked by EVERYBODY. And they're actually mad about it.

[telomeke-bbs]

One of the most fascinating things about Bad Buddy was its ability to convert newbies to obsessives in just a few episodes. So yeah, it's sad that BBS is now vanishing from YouTube.

It's not blocked everywhere, yet though...

For the moment people with a VPN may still be able access it if they change their location to SEAsia (don't quote me though).

But once it vanishes from all regions then it's pay or bust. And then the fandom will probably no longer see growth. 😭

The saddest thing about Bad Buddy being blocked for most countries on YouTube is that even less new people are going to discover it and join the fandom.

I know us old stalwarts have been on the rooftop three years and counting, but almost every month I saw posts on the tag from someone who'd only just discovered it.

It was lovely to see them reacting just the way we had all the way back at the start, but now it's behind a pay wall, that's going to happen less and less, which... yeah. Sad.

[telomeke-bbs]

GMMTV may have removed Bad Buddy from yt but joke's on them I have this series burnt into my brain frame for frame. it's been a fundamental part of who I am and how I view romance for three years now. the boys could literally charge me for personality plagiarism.

[telomeke-bbs]

rewatching bad buddy is so funny because at any given moment in the first 6-7 episodes there's miss pa jindapat thinking that everyone is in love with ink...like out of nowhere she's like "oh it's ink right? you're in love with ink, pran is in love with ink everyone is in love with ink" GIRL LITERALLY ONLY YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH INK PLEASE

hi! i was searching for the soonvijarn reaction videos to bad buddy on youtube bc i have such a fondness for them only to find that gmmtv has copyrighted them & now only the recaps are available for watching 🥹🥹 do you know if there are any other possible ways to watch them? thank you!

Hi Anonymous! I didn't know that the Soon Vijarn Bad Buddy Reaction videos had been taken down, but a quick check on YouTube shows that you're right. 😥

But at least the Recap videos are still up, probably because they don't have any real-time play-by-play of Bad Buddy onscreen to trigger copyright concerns.

As to whether or not there is any other way to watch the Reaction videos – well I have been able to find some of them elsewhere online, but they're not in quite the same format though (so I don't know if this will work for you...).

There have been several Bad Buddy Reaction videos uploaded onto bilibili.com – but with the English subtitles replaced by Mandarin ones. (To find them, visit bilibili.com and do a keyword search for "Soon Vijarn" or "【OhmNanon】中字 两只 EP6 上 反应及回顾".) I can find Episodes 5, 6 (broken into parts), 7 and 12, but I don't know about the other episodes though.

These would be fine for viewers who understand spoken Thai and/or written Mandarin. But anyone outside of this particular linguistic bubble won't be able to follow much, I fear. And we can't be sure how much longer these Mandarin-subtitled ones will be up on the Internet either. 🤷‍♂️

I don't know if this is of much use to you (Mandarin subtitles aren't useful to me) but at least the Recap videos are still up! 😍

nothing delights me more than people going "aight i'll bite" in regards to bad buddy and then 12 eps later their lives have been irrevocably changed and they're forever trapped on the rooftop with the rest of us

[telomeke-bbs]

With nothing that I'm watching airing today, and with all the Bad Buddy three-year anniversary content on my dash, I decided to rewatch ep 1 of the series.

And it finally hit me. Why Pa is wearing the Dr Seuss t-shirt this ep.

Un pez, dos peces, pez roco, pez azul / One fish, two fishes, red fish, blue fish.

I always thought it was just that the blue was for her brother, Blue Boy Pat, and the red writing (and fish) for Red Rascal Pran...but the fishes...I just couldn't work out why this particular t-shirt slogan was being used in a show full of t-shirt slogans that made excellent comments on the narrative...

But today, in my sixty-fifth hundreth re-watch, I finally realised. Fishes. Which are usually in water. Just like Pa being rescued by Pran in the lake in the flashback later in the ep.

Pa, in the orangey-red shorts and lime green top. And with Pat rounding out the colours in the white vest.

And just like that, I can rest easy.

"let's pretend to be boyfriends to design this bus stop" is, i firmly believe, still a situation that has only been proposed once (1 time) in all of media history. and of course the culprit would be pat napat jindapat
