Patpran - Blog Posts
i really like the moment when pran holds out his hand to pat and says "i'm done adjusting". initially he's so caught in his own anxious worries that he immediately rejects the handholding but after a second of taking a step back and thinking abt it he's like 'you know what actually i'm okay with this rn' and that's such an important message about intimacy. because yes sometimes stepping closer (esp in public) can be scary but after the initial surprise you might find that you're actually okay with it (and pran holds pat's hand behind pa's back later too). and pran knows that pat would respect it if he's not ready and that makes it easier for pran to 'adjust' i.e. be open about the fact that he does want to hold pat's hand in the corridor outside his apartment. intimacy and getting closer to someone are not linear progresses and often move forward step by step. and i love how we see this in pran especially: he acts subconsciously and then makes an effort to show how he feels consciously about pat and their relationship.

Bad Buddy Ep. 8: PatPran sleeping with the Nong Nao Doll
#imagine being this in love.
Did you hurry back home? I hurried home after I heard your sad puppy voice. “Heeey” you said. I was worried. Hey. You’re being cuter and cuter every day. I want to hug you. Let’s do a virtual hug for now. BAD BUDDY THE SERIES (2021)
The way they said "I love you"
Pat: "When I have a lover, I always let my lover win" Pran: "I've always wanted to cook a favorite dish for someone I like"
I want to point out something SO important about this episode…
This scene right here. Omg. I got emotional. The way Pat was originally coming over to continue their teasing, but saw that Pran was in a sad mood so he changed his tune real quick to become a more lighthearted and supportive person for Pran to lean on. They understand each other in ways even their friend groups wouldn’t understand 😭😭
Do we all agree that ‘conceding’ the bet came so easily for Pran here…
…because Pat had already confessed here:
Just give up. You say it first. No, you say it first. You say it first. You do it, babe.

“I want to clean it for you.” “I can do it myself.” “But I want to do it for you.” BAD BUDDY (2021)
You said your wish is to cook a favorite dish for someone you like. As for me, when I have a lover, I always let my lover win. When was I ever your lover? You might not be now. But you will be soon.
Riam is right here, my dear Kwan.
Pat, open the door! She’s your sister. But you’re my boyfriend.

Bad Buddy Series Episode 3 - Behind the Scenes
episode 1 • episode 2
bonus: some tired boys
"oh! i've got him confused about his feelings to me"
this line! this line is just so important in seeing pat this whole episode. boy really thinks pran is confused about his feelings because of the kiss. he really is so clueless. maybe he thought pran is avoiding him because it's awkward or something. like looking at his persistence through this lens and how he literally crossed all those lines, pran's mom and group of friends, with no clue as to them being two of the biggest obstacles holding pran down? what would he have done if he knew the truth?
pat was just putting himself out there for pran to be within his reach. for pran to not feel awkward. for pran to know that he is still next to him. i honestly can't even find enough words or the right words to describe him.
