Pran (Bad Buddy Series)

Pran (full name Parakul Siridechawat) is the main protagonist the famous 2021 Thai romantic BL comedy-drama series Bad Buddy, alongside Pat. He's the president of the Architecture faculty at South Tech University, and Pat's boyfriend. He is portrayed by Nanon Korapat.
His name in Pat's phone—and later the way he signs his letters and postcards to Pat—is ครับเพื่อน (khap puen), which means "yes friend," and more notably is the second half of the show's title in Thai, to pair with Pat's name in his phone being the first half of the show's title in Thai, แค่เพื่อน (kha puen).
==Appearance==
Pran has black hair, dark brown eyes, and dimples when he smiles. Pat in particular likes to make note of his dimples and describes Pran as cute due to them. Pran is 6'0", but he often slouches. His wardrobe is very simple, often consisting of sweaters and baggy t-shirts when he has no academic obligations. He has a red Architecture uniform like other Architecture students, but often opts to wear a white long-sleeved shirt buttoned up to the top. He wears baggy jeans, khakis, and baggy shorts most of the time, as well as white tennis shoes and occasionally sandals or flip-flops.
Pran typically has straight bangs with a slight sweep, from childhood to university. After he graduates, he wears his hair middle parted.
He always wears a watch, even while he and Pat make love. It's revealed early on in the show that the watch was from his childhood and had stopped working when he rescued Pa and after Pat had returned it to him, but he had kept it in his bedroom and in Episode 1, after running into Pat again, he fixes it easily and wears it from then on.
He is noted to have a fondness for smiley faces, as his dorm room is decorated in many things with smiley faces, some of which he drew himself. His childhood bedroom also has a few prints of smiley faces on his wall.
Less notable is his affinity for striped patterns, as seen in many of his shirts in his wardrobe (see gallery below), and also his bed sheets.
He often carries around a plastic navy-blue hobo bag that has the letter P on the front, in white.
===Scent===
Pat is especially obsessed with Pran's scent, remarking in several episodes how good Pran smells. P'Aof later posted on Twitter that the cologne Pran uses is Kiehl's Original Musk, a unisex cologne described as "[a] musky extract derived from a miniature antler-less deer which originates deep in the Himalayan mountains... It features top notes of orange blossom and bergamot; middle notes of lily, neroli, ylang-ylang and rose; and base notes of tonka bean, musk and patchouli."
==Personality, Hobbies, & Talents==
Pran is quiet, hesitant, and artistic with an eye for detail, shown to have a fondness for drawing, design, and music. Despite appearing reserved compared to Pat, however, Pran has many friends, as he stated that his friends voted for him to be president of the Architecture faculty, and has friendly banter with a handful of girls during the Architecture play. He has no reservations on scolding his friends for getting into trouble, but usually tries to lend an ear to them when they're complaining, or at least is kind enough to pretend to. Pran is usually nice and polite to his peers and clubmates, unless they disrespect him first, like Chart. 
With Pat, Pran is much less filtered and harsher, as observed by Pat twice in Episode 3, when they run into each other at the noodle shop and during the bus stop scene; and more notably called out in Episode 4, where Pran speaks formally and kindly to Pat when he bumps into him, before realizing who it is and abruptly changing tone. Pran likes to point out Pat's flaws, such as when Pat eats too loudly or hovers over his shoulder or is too touchy-feely with him when their relationship is at risk of getting caught. Later in Episode 11, Pat admits that he likes how picky Pran is. Pat also tends to bring out Pran's competitive side, usually causing Pran to be more confident, arrogant, and stubborn. This was especially evident in their childhood, when neither of them seemed any more mature than the other, and would be prone to physical fights and taunting. 
Pran can play guitar and enjoys songwriting and performing, although the only songs he has ever performed were about Pat: Just Friend? and Our Song. Regardless, he still wishes to be a musician as well as an interior designer after graduation, the latter which he does successfully. 
Pran's artistry is evident in his fondness for doodling and drawing, singing, guitar-playing, and song writing, as well as architecture and design. In Episode 1 when he and Wai pass the Freshy Day poster, Pran pretends not to know what Wai is talking about by offering his graphic design opinion. In the original Bad Buddy trailer, Pat offers to help him with his physics homework in exchange for Pran helping him with his English homework. Regardless, it seems Pran is sufficient at math, as he is the one who works out the budget for the bus stop. 
Pran is also a confident and capable leader, shown as he was elected president of the Architecture faculty and is the only person Wai and Toto trust to take Wai's place as the main sound coordinator for the Architecture play. Wai and Pran's peers also trust Pran to be one of the casting directors for the play, and be responsible for sound direction and equipment during the play. Through all this, it is also presumed that Pran is capable of keeping his grades up, as he is often the ones scolding his friends for not focusing on their schoolwork, his design board usually has something in progress on it, and at multiple points we see him working on projects. 
Although it appears that Pat and Pran's families are equally wealthy (based on their houses and wardrobe), it is implied multiple times throughout the show that Pran's family is no stranger to financial struggle of some sort. Pran had saved up, possibly from working in his parent's shop, to buy a guitar when he was 13 years old. He also pays his own rent for his dorm at university. 
Nanon has described some of Pran's behavioral quirks as him having OCD, which is not unfounded as Pran is shown to have some obsessive-compulsive behavior—notably, always looking out the peephole before he opens the door for or after someone leaves. He is picky about being clean, making his bed, and eating quietly; in Pat's words: "[You're picky] when it comes to eating, sleeping, even peeing." In the original Bad Buddy trailer, Pran is described to be the "perfectionist." Presumably like his mother, Pran is particular about having specific utensils for serving food during a meal. Pran's dorm has many sticky notes everywhere, though it is unknown what they are for. He also tends to forget his earphones, even to the point of dropping them that he has to look for them which inadvertently causes them to break. Pat frequently reminds him if he has them. 
Pran does not seem to have as much spacial awareness as Pat, as shown in Episode 3 when he misses the Eco Friendly poster in the elevator entirely. 
He enjoys cooking, especially for the ones he loves. He used to help his mother cook when he was young, and is good at replicating her recipes. 
Pran has a close relationship with both of his parents, being their only child. Even while he and Pat were hiding their friendship and relationship from their parents, he is still shown to care for them and talk to them regularly, His closeness with his parents, notably his mother, is one of the most significant factors that initially hindered him from pursuing any sort of relationship with Pat. He also listens to the same type of classical music that his father likes. His parents adore him and like to ask questions about his life, comfortably tease him, and are very affectionate towards him.
On his computer, Pran's username is Pranrakul (a mashup of his nickname and his first name, Pran and Parakul). His password up to at least Episode 5 is "pransocool," which is a reference to the band So Cool. Sometime before Episode 10, he changes it to "praninlove." His username on LINE is por.parakul. He and Chang have the same red iPhone XR. Pran's has a navy-blue phone case with a ):) smiley face on it. He also uses the same picture of himself for his computer icon, phone background, and portrait on his nightstand.
His handwriting is small and neat.
