bad buddy ep 2 (rewatch)
how many times does pran pull out his entire (extremely intense) set of markers and not use them:
total so far: ///
so pat has a chess set? and not just has one, clearly seems to play it? it's on his nightstand and i do not know chess enough to know if this is a real game, but it looks like it might be? and i neeeed someone to write a patpran chess based flirting competition thing.
the pairing of the pastel shirts here. v cute.
ok so the above scene, where pran turns around to see the eng crew, and instead of noticing korn's bright turquoise windbreaker (which i love), he instead notices pat's laughing face. fucking adorable, pran is so gone for this boy.
this first rooftop scene was a blessing. pat flirting with his extremely platonic neighbor and childhood 'enemy', peak tier.
i really did like their dynamic of annoy pran whenever possible.
these shirts! such a cute pairing. is this shade of green an ominous sign? korn was wearing a windbreaker of this color when they were being annoying at the door earlier in the ep.
so this was so depressing. because it has pran silencing himself, and saying he would leave pat again, but this time instead of it being something done to him, he enacts it on himself. which is literally how internalized homophobia works! at some point the people who make you feel like you can't live like yourself don't have to be there for their words and ways to impact you. you do it to yourself.
i looove this scene. pat going to his sister for advice. noticing he fucked up and then doing something about it. truly our green flag boy. (also only the top part of his shirt is visible in this scene, but it says "no matter how bad" in red, which is ugh, the costuming!!!!)
ah yes, 'childhood enemies,' that's exactly what these looks are conveying. lol but truly, the show is so good at showing us that they have literally never hated each other a single time.
we were robbed of seeing this man and his clearly hot vibes.
once more on the list of things platonic enemies do not do with each other, this insane thigh grab.
this ep literally made me cry and then healed my broken heart all within the same 10 minutes, and it did it perfectly. i felt zero emotional discongruity and i think that's such a strength of this show. it mixes tones and moods together perfectly.

I still can't get over how Dissaya interrupted the Christmas concert and transferred Pran to another school for doing something that was organised by the school and for being the singer in the band which he was told to do by the teacher, who most likely also told the other band members they would be involved i.e. Pat on drums. Like...the audacity! It wasn't something he chose to do on his own time 🤦🏽♀️

i need someone to make a comic about what happened once patpran came back and revealed they have to act together in the architecture play - how they hesitantly broke the news and how they tried to look disappointed, how their gangs went on and on about oh no my dear friend has to act with his ex, how waikorn decided to spice the performance up by letting their besties show affection publicly for once; the way patpran had an amazing time preparing and practicing, pran scolding pat who could not remember his lines and pat teasing him in return by trying to make out on every surface on set... inkpa going through the script over lunch and fangirling over the romantic scenes but laughing when they finally force the guys to act something out.. practicing while brushing teeth in the morning, trying to hide how much they're enjoying all of it in public, staying on stage till late at night, the excitement, the nervousness, the happiness that comes from the secrecy and the roleplaying..like it was a whole thing and someone should give me a visual is all im saying

Colours in Our Skyy 2 Bad Buddy ep 1
I was nervous in the run up to the Our Skyy 2 eps, not least to see what Aof and the team were going to do with our beloved characters and their stories, but also to see if the colours I had interpreted during the series stayed consistent.
And after two out of three (four?) episodes, I think they are.
In ep 1, right off the bat Pat's Blue and Pran's Red make an appearance...but the faculty jackets lend themselves to offering consistency here (the photo makes the blue look black but they are a dark blue).
But as soon as the action shifts to the auditorium, we can see Pat and Pran's world is full of blue and red. The red curtain is a big part of this but look at the array of random blue and red objects in the room...some of which also move into a different spot later.
Pat and Pran quite rightly (and as others have already pointed out) exchange their colours in the early part of the ep. I thought it was interesting that they didn't feel like they needed to hide their...friendship...to Ajan Pichai - the senior who Ming could quite easily hear about them from - not reacting at all to him seeing Pat's arm around Pran.
More blue and red pairings are seen in Pran's shirt and the ice pack (which I pointed out in my addition to @grapejuicegay's post that Pran is 'icing' the same shoulder that he hurt in BBS ep 1 when Pat had the bruised cheek even though Pran didn't get hurt this time round), in Ink and Pa's outfits (the pic is a bit blurry but I wanted to show Pa's red handbag - I really wish I could see what was written on her top), and in the Hightem meeting room. (Note also that Pa carries a tote bag which has orange and lime green - their colours).
Pops of blue and red also inhabit Ajan Pichai's office (the plaque, book, flowers, even the pens!) but I want to draw your attention to Pichai's shirt - a dark/olive green - a colour for 'bad' things (conflict, an obstacle to Pat and Pran's happiness etc) - and we see Pichai pit them against each other rather than choose between them to end the argument, thus causing them further problems.
Later, Pichai wears a lighter shirt...which could be labelled as light blue, grey, or a light mint...but regardless, he accepts the end to the auditorium dispute and unknowingly sets up an opportunity for Pat and Pran to have some couple-time alone up north. This is also when he sees Pat with his arm around Pran, so perhaps it also shows his silent support of their...friendship.
Back to the dark green and it's also on the tent in Pat and Pran's apartment, so it's no surprise that things go wrong for Pat when he comes back and thinks Wai is Pran. (Note also the orange...but I'll talk about that in ep 2's post 😏)
But on to yellow - the colour that seems to symbolise Pat and Pran's love and happiness - and I thought it was a nice touch to have Korn pick out the broom with the yellow handle and then be thankful for Pat and Pran and tell Wai he loved him. Yellow was also in the cushions that Pat and Pran (and Wai in the morning) laid on when they had their Soft™ lovely-dovey moment, and it was heartbreaking to see Pran had changed into a yellow t-shirt to go and find Pat before their second 'honeymoon' trip only for him to hear Pat exaggeratedly badmouthing him.
And finally brown - a colour that seems to represent sacrifice, submission, or yielding - and we see it first on Korn as he tricks Pat into drinking with them. Pat then yields to peer pressure and ends up staying longer and drinking much more than he originally planned. That choice ultimately meant he sacrificed his opportunity to go to Pha Pun Dao with Pran the next day. Pat, also already having to sacrifice an open relationship with Pran because of their family situation, is somewhat forced to speak bad of Pran to hide their relationship causing a conflict between him and Pran who overhears him from outside.
The next day, Pran sets off for Pha Pun Dao alone, wearing a brown jacket (and an orange t-shirt which I will also talk about in ep 2's post). He sacrifices the companionship of Pat in order to show he can do things without him (and is ultimately glad when Pat turns up even if he doesn't show it well) but also has to sacrifice his dignity in the process when he has to walk to the village after the jeep breaks down. And if it weren't for the fact that it was another expected and delicious parallel, the olive-green of the jeep was a clear give-away that Pran was about to suffer in this.
Lastly, I'll just mention Pat and Pran's backpacks - teal and mint green respectively - the colours which seemed to symbolise Pat and Pran's union as a couple (I couldn't think of a better way to put it 🤭). They were supposed to go on this trip together, to have a second 'honeymoon' where they could be together freely...but despite being apart, they're still carrying/keeping their unity with them. Note also that Pat is shrouded in yellow (on his socks as well!) when he's trying to show his love for Pran and return them to a happier place, albeit unsuccessfully.
[ep 1] [ep 2] [ep 3] [ep 4] (<- I'm being hopeful)
