B-Friend – Full Series Review: Editing Chaos, Intimacy Wins

What the hell did we just watch? Out of all the #ThaiGLs we’ve streamed, B-Friend might take the crown for “just bad.” We’re no strangers to lower-budget B-production studios, and even they usually serve cleaner storytelling than this. Did anyone actually screen this before hitting publish? Because what we got wasn’t a polished gem—it was a feral beast set loose on the sapphic community.

Since diving into GLs, we haven’t come across something so painfully mis-edited and narratively confusing. Honestly, we’re still not sure what the story was supposed to be. Girl A falls in love with Girl B? Maybe? At this point, your guess is as good as ours. But before we spiral into full meltdown mode, let’s break it down. Because while most of it was a hot mess, there were a few diamonds hidden in the rubble.

What Worked

The Ending (Bless the Sapphic Goddess)

At least they stuck the landing. Pairing Lalin + Dalan in the finale? Yes. Yes. YES. That jacket-around-the-waist reveal? Absolutely adorable—it gave us the sapphic serotonin hit we’d been begging for. And side note—Khanit + Jin finally got their happy ending too. It took way too long, but we’ll still take it. After twelve episodes of chaos, it was nice to at least walk away with some love locked down.

Carried the Show

Let’s be real: we only stayed strapped in because of Lalin. She was the show. Multiple sex scenes, multiple partners, and somehow she sparked with every single one. Her talent, presence, and charisma carried scenes that otherwise would’ve flatlined. Honestly, she could’ve had chemistry with a lamp post and we’d still ship it. Without Lalin lighting up the screen, we’d have rage-quit by Episode 2.

Eventually, the pairings of Lalin + Dalan and Khanit + Jin gave us something solid to root for. By then, Lalin had already done the heavy lifting—and she’s the reason we stuck around to see those couples pay off.

Intimacy That Shook the Fandom

We always praise #FreenBecky and #LMSY for authentic intimacy on screen. Well, move over—because #NamBenz just entered the hall of fame. Episodes 9–11? Pure sapphic fire. And EP11 specifically? Jaw dropped, eyes wide, body on the floor. It was raw, passionate, and—finally—intimacy that matched where the characters were emotionally.

We’re not exaggerating when we say we were wrecked. The authenticity, the choreography, the emotion—it was everything sapphic intimacy should be on screen. Once we get feeling back in our legs from that scene, we’ll give it a standing ovation…followed by a polite golf clap.

What Didn’t Work

Too Many Characters, Too Little Story

This series came at us with a dozen-plus characters, each with their own arc. It was overwhelming, unnecessary, and messy. Some should’ve stayed quirky side characters to ground a scene instead of competing for main-plot energy. And while we’d love a world where every single character is sapphic, this cast list was pushing suspension of disbelief.

Editing Nightmares

The editing was a disaster from start to finish. Every episode felt like a timeline guessing game—quick cuts, misplaced flashbacks, and transitions that made no sense. Some scenes dragged on like filler no one asked for, while others were over before they even started. By the time we hit EP12, it went completely off the rails: three-second cuts to black on repeat, like someone hit “shuffle” in the editing bay and called it art. Continuity? Never heard of her.

Color Grading Crimes

Why did the intimacy scenes suddenly shift to dark, soft, hazy tones when the rest of the show was crisp and sharp? It was jarring, inconsistent, and made no sense. Instead of highlighting the emotional depth of the intimacy, it dulled it down visually. Major miss.

The Story (Or Lack Thereof)

Here’s the dagger: the story just…didn’t exist. Too many characters, no prioritization, no narrative thread. If you’re going to juggle this many arcs, you need multiple seasons (take notes from The L Word). Instead, we got a confusing jumble of timelines, repeated flashbacks, and questionable motivations.

• Why was Lalin so hung up on Lan when Lan gave her nothing to work with?

• Why did her arc feel like one endless hookup reel instead of a meaningful journey?

• Why did EP12 play like a chaotic highlight reel instead of a satisfying conclusion?

And don’t get us started on the Lan–Dawan “promise” plotline. When memories came back, why stay? Why was Lalin’s commitment so ironclad? We’re confused. Still confused. Forever confused.

Final Thoughts

Normally, #ThaiGLs shine in storytelling but stumble in intimacy. B-Friend flipped that formula upside down—giving us some of the best sapphic intimacy we’ve ever seen on screen, wrapped in one of the weakest stories we’ve had to endure. If we weren’t so invested in Lalin’s journey, we would’ve bailed by Episode 2.

Production companies—please, we beg you—screen your content before release. Do a soft test with fans (we volunteer as tribute!) and refine before sending it into the wild. The sapphic community deserves quality storytelling to match the passion you put into intimacy.

So tell us—what did you think? Did you manage to follow the story? Did the intimacy at least make the ride worth it? And most importantly…are you also thanking the sapphic goddess that Lalin and Dalan got their ending?
