sorry if this has been said before, but from what we know now, yohan has been planning the move to switzerland since the beginning. in episode 4 is where the writer left the hint that ga on would be following yohan to switzerland and the overall meaning of it all is so romantic when you look at it. when i was watching, the camera/director never failed to show us that ga on never relinquished the watch, even when they were broken up or fighting. they always made sure to show us that the watch never left him.
and indeed, by ga on continually carrying the watch, heâs âliving in the same time zoneâ as yohan; ga on never left yohanâs side. they were never apart and never will be again. so even if for now they are living in two different countries, they will always be in the same time zone as long as they have the watches.

Two more days guys! In the meantime, a mini analysis for you all!
The Romeo and Juliet act where they commit suicide is actually represented in Bad Buddy!
Remember this scene? aka the only moment we get to laugh in this curse ep?
Here me out. So we all now Bad Buddy is somewhat based on a modern version of Romeo and Juliet.
[Pat is Juliet. Fight me.]
So. In the ending of that tragic play we have the iconic sequence in which Juliet supposedly drinks a poison that kills her, but in reality just makes her appear dead. Then Romeo follows killing himself for real, and then, Juliet stabs herself, and the whole thing is a mess of non-communication.
So letâs compare, shall we?
1. We have Pat, âthrowing awayâ his cellphone chip. Aka, Juliet faking her death.
2. We have Pran, doing the same right after Pat. Aka, Romeo actually following Juliet.
A this time weâre all like. Shit. They really did that.
But THEN
3. âHaha, you dummy!â Aka, no, Romeo, Juliet was not really dEAD! Pran really threw it out? He really actually killed himself?
4. Haha! You thought! Of course he didnât! And then this:
âDo you really think I donât know you?â
Hereâs WHY I think this scene heavily shows a representation of the suicide scene in Romeo and Juliet:
Let me start with a question. How many of you would simply get rid of youâre phone number? Throw it away into the sea without a care? Throw away your whole life, cause FACE IT. It IS your whole life. Your family? Your friends, a huge part of yourself?
Exactly. Youâd have to be in a lot of pain to do that right? Commiting suicide is the very last stage of indescribable pain. Throwing away the âheartâ of your phone could be thought of as throwing away your life.
But they didnât. Hereâs where it obviously goes differently. Pran knows Pat to a point where he knows he would never do that. Pat knows Pran to a point where he knows Pran would never believe heâd do something like that.
Hereâs where it doesnât end up tragically. They both live.
Because they know each other. They understand each other. They communicate. They love each other too much to ask the other to take such risks.
And I think thatâs beautiful.
Thanks for reading!
Youâre good now. My teacher taught me well. BAD BUDDY THE SERIES (2021)
Thank you, Noh Shin Woo. Iâm serious. If it werenât for you, I wouldâve collapsed on the street from crying. Youâre exaggerating.
