Mr. Bad (2022)

Great romance even for who doesn't like typical romance chinese drama

for me personally, this love story is one of the best among romance Chinese dramas. I watch this series in 2 days and I feel this series worth watching. this drama doesn't feel repetitive, they don't have an unnecessary scene like where fl and ml accidentally fall and kiss, and I don't feel they dub in Chinese ( i don't know if it's because they don't do that or they do it very well). for those who watch Chinese drama, you must know that a lot of the time they dub their drama, and their lips sometimes do not sync even for the main lead and that's bugging me.

As for the cast I love it. this is the first time I see her in drama but I like her, she got the correct emotion when crying, even when they need to cry and laugh and at the same time she does a good job.

the animation effect in this drama it's good, for example, when the main lead fall in love they not only give a white filter and light like in other drama but they give a flower and the other party also have love animation. surprisingly the animation in this drama is fresh not like other romance dramas (or maybe I did not watch a hundred Chinese dramas).

In summary, this is a Chinese romance drama with the correct amount of fantasy and comedy for me because the thing that I feel is annoying in another Chinese romance drama is not available in here.

Mr. Bad -- my bad hero ?

I just finished watching it. Thanks to hidden love I got to know CZY. Although I had watched all about secrets even before hidden love, I didn't know it's the same actor. So I started watching his drama. After finishing our secret. I have now finished this Mr.bad. Shen Yue's acting is also amazing.
You can't lose watching such an amazing drama. It was quite funny sometimes, sometimes serious, romantic. It is an amazing drama.
Xiao wudi came from other world, his characteristics transition, and the most important thing is when the fairy told that it wasn't Nan Xing who created him.
Overall it's worth watching. Must watch

Unexpected ending

Consider a few times to watch or not this drama, because I don't too like Shen Yue. But I quite like our ML, Chen Zhe Yuan, so I still decided to watch this.

At first I really though this just our regular imagination story. Where our FL get her dream man from the story. Although I really like where the 'dream man' that came out not our regular hero/good man, but more of a bad/villain man at first. But however Xiao Wu Di (WD) still our ML, so he must change from bad man to good man. Hehe... And the method to call WD every time to Nan Xing is also really fun & very unusual. I like it...Haha...

So yeah at first I only plan to give it score between 7-8. But it all change in the very last episode. Really interesting how they change all the perspective of our story. Maybe that due to the new regulation in China where they limited this kind of time travel story or whatever. But I really intrigue by the explanation of the last episode.

Oh btw, I really like our second couple Lu Zi Chen (ZC) & Ye Qing. I quite glad they're not our main couple. If not we got the usual story, where very straight, cold and naïve man like get advice from his best friend how to chase girl, or they will gonna create 1001 cheesy way to make them finally become a couple.... ZC himself sometimes remind me of Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory. Haha.... Some stupidity.... :P

Overall this quite unique & original story to watch for...

pluffy romance, emotional scenes and happy ending

If you are thinking whether u watch it or not, just go for it. its worth watching. i just finished it just two days. as i love happy endings its one of them. The male lead i was fallen for him since his drama our secret (its also worth to watch) so i really wanted to see him in more dramas as his acting is so cute, childish, nice and many more and for shen yue i like her since meteor garden, a love so beautiful. Through the episodes i laugh, cried ,got emotional and in the happy. so if you are looking for romance, fantacy, light weighted, freshen up mood, its the one. The main leads are looks promising each other and had vey nice chemistry between also the second lead i would say i like them as well as their characters are also potrayed nicely. The episodes are not available in english on youtube so u can watch it on bilibili tv. enjoy

edit:- story line (time travel & high school romance) may you think its common in chinese dramas but its nice to watch them with hoping happy ending. i dont usually watch dramas with lots of logic i just enjoy the series as its most matters to me because they make me happy. hope you find this drama enjoyable.

Shen Yue did it again!

I really love this drama! I thought Comic Bang would come first, but Mr. Bad was shown first instead. It is fun to watch this Rom-Com Drama. The chemistry between Shen Yue & Chen ZheYuan was excellent. I thought Shen Yue's chemistry with CZY would just be okay maybe because I am not familiar with the ML, but good thing I was wrong because their chemistry was over the top. What really impressed me was their wedding scene. It looks so real like attending a real wedding. Their acting was perfect, the two were like really getting married in real life. First time to watch a wedding scene that looks like a real wedding. I would be watching this drama again because it's really good.

A charming and lightweight drama that is fun to watch.

Mr Bad is a fantasy cum contemporary romantic drama starring Chen Zhe Yuan (Our Secret) as Xiao Wudi and Shen Yue (Meteor Gardens) as Nan Xing as leads also Luo Ming Jie as Lu Zi Chen and Qu Jing Jing as Ye Qing, directed by Lee Ching Jung (Go Go Squid!).

Story:
It follows the story between Nan Xing an athlete and Xiao Wudi, a villain from the martial arts world who was summoned by Nan Xing under certain circumstances. Then there is also a beautiful sub-plot between Lu Zi Chen and Ye Qing. Both plots have their own built-up and sensible story.

Main Characters:

Xiao Wudi is an intelligent, capable and expert-level martial arts disciple. Chen Zhe Yuan did an amazing job portraying Xiao Wudi. The character itself is complicated as he is cunning, intelligent, selfish and also as the story progresses slowly changes his demeanour into everything opposite. Chen has excelled in both shoes and left a mark as Xiao Wudi. You cannot but cry when he cries and laugh when he laughs. The confusion he goes through at times were real and portrayed beautifully. The final episode was one of the best examples of how well Xiao Wudi was portrayed. The chemistry that he shares with Nan Xing is amazing.

Nan Xing is a physically strong athlete who is kind of tomboyish for her reasons. She is an avid fan of Lu Zi Chen’s work and considers him her idol. Shen Yue did a fair job in portraying the role, but sometimes you cannot ignore the lack of emotion or the misplaced emotions that are present throughout the drama. There is also this minute vagueness in the character when she initially develops feelings for Xiao Wudi, also her backstory of being an athlete seems unnecessary, the entire accident that caused the trauma is vague too. But the chemistry she shares with Xiao Wudi is great.

Lu Zi Chen, is a successful crime novel writer. He is also the owner of X-Culture a startup publishing company. He is confused and childish with many flaws and fears. Luo Ming Jie has done justice to the role with his soft voice and demeanour. The cluelessness that Zichen experiences at times were top-notch and funny (when intended).

Ye Qing is the CEO of X-Culture and Lu Zi Chen’s childhood friend. She understands him well and helps his dream of X-culture come true. She is independent and strong-willed. Qu has done a great job at portraying Miss ye.
Special mentions to An Ni Na (Dong Xuan) Nan Xing’s mother and Mao Xiao Jun and also several office staff who all did an amazing job.

Costume Design:
The costumes used were apt for each character and circumstance. You see how different Xiao Wudi’s sense of style indicates his class as a character. Nan Xing also experiences this when he helps her to dress up. You could see how each character has their own style.

Overall:
I can clearly state that Mr Bad is not a perfect product. Yet there are some aspects that you can give credit to for example beautiful chemistry between leads. If you are particular about watching only perfect content in every shot, you might get disappointed. But If you want a quick break from all those highly complicated, villainous and misunderstanding-filled dramas, you can surely give this a try and feel content with the result.

Beautiful Love Story + Explicit and Satisfying Ending for the 3 Couples.

First and Foremost, Just where the hell do people get the hate for this drama? Seriously? I mean, I get that we have different preferences and standards when it comes to 'everything' but I find it offending when I'm reading reviews about this drama being less satisfactory, overhyped and a waste of time. Like, are we even watching the same story? — Well, I guess people preferred those overly complicated, frustrating and messy type of tropey idol drama than this.

Anyway, moving on. Let me just share the things I love about this story.

Let's start with the proper characterization of the Female characters. I feel like there's only 1 in a million chance for a drama to have this excellent story progression for their female characters and this story did that flawlessly and wonderfully. They gave fair treatment and justice to every character and made sure that they won't leave anyone behind.

Next is the unexpected yet highly satisfying takes they did with the story itself. 1st is the way they made the Guys go after Girls. Finally! I know that this isn't the first time it happened but I just love how they execute it here in a very neat and smooth manner. None are problematic and most of them have their own ways and personality that made their characters different and standout from each other. 2nd is the unexpected takes and turns in this drama. There are countless of times where I was fascinated on how things won't go the way i expected it to be. I mean, I got so used to clichė stories that I have long predetermined the scenarios that's going to happen but to my surprise they always managed to go against it by taking a turn which I never expected to occur in the first place. 3rd is the way they made sure that all 3 couples of this drama is properly concluded with a clear and happy ending. I always hated it when a drama neglects and completely forgets the other CPs; cause it always leave me this unsatisfied-lingering-feeling that something is missing. That's why I was glad and relieved to see that they made sure that all the CPs introduced will be able to get their well deserved conclusion.

One last thing... Even when I'm really satisfied with this drama I just would still love to mention some dissatisfaction I have for it. First is the extremely weird reaction the Female Lead has whenever she's facing her boss and ultimate idol.— Getting starstruck is fine but to the point where you started to severely stutter and unable to move... Huh! Isn't that completely ridiculous? I was really turned off by that yet decided to not have it affect my rating simply because she eventually got used to him and got rid of that reaction. Second is the weird treatment she got from her co-workers during her probation period. I admit that things like those do happen but the way it was presented simply infuriated me. They acted awkwardly and weirdly towards her for the most absurd reason and up till now it bothers me how irritating those scenes are.

Anyways, this story just proves that not all Idol dramas are extremely clichė and problematic. Hopefully many more dramas of the same genre can take this as a reference for their future projects.

P.S. I freaking appreciate the cameo of the drama 'Make a Wish'. Chiyan & Xiao Xiu <3

Story - 9.5, The execution and conclusion of this drama is definitely one of the best out there— Not problematic, extremely fun, wholesome and heartwarming. However, I feel like it lacks a proper 2nd Male lead that can stir things up for the Main leads relationship. There's just this point where it seems like something is certainly missing. A rivalry at most.

Acting/Cast - 10, OVER THE TOP! I'm so overwhelmed with their acting specially by Chen Zhe Yuan. The amount of expression he gave for his character is overflowing. He's got full contol and is a master of his emotion and expressions that I never find it awkward even one bit. Shen Yue on the other hand did great as well. I feel like she fits this high school/idol drama type of character the best. + Their entire Wedding Scene is a MASTERPIECE!

Music - 10, Perfect choice of Music overall and I love the fact that every song played just fits perfectly with the scenes. It accompanied the story very well and it really help me a lot to feel comfortable and happy watching the drama.

Rewatch Value - 9.5, I won't lie about this. I was kinda bored at some point specially during episode 6-10 but luckily the story picked up its pace and from then on porgresses beautifully. and maybe it's just me being too engrossed and addicted to Costume dramas that I find it this way. Still, a drama that's worth re-watching over and over again.

Overall - 9.5, When it comes to story progression, acting and music wise I can proudly that this is one of a kind. A drama that you won't get tired of, simply because it offers something different from the norms and completely nailed it in every possible way.

IF you find my review helpful please let me know.

Starts promising but not living upto it

(long rant, pls bear with it ) Ok, to start the drama was very good n very promising when it started, and cute too but by the end I started getting too irritated because I had so many expectations with this kind of plot, let me write point wise disappointments first i had with the drama.
1. The plot was too inconsistent with the characters specially the male lead, he turned lover good boy too soon l, i wanted to see his bad side for longer time.
2. The drama name is Mr. Bad so u would expect to see more of mr. Bad in it, but most of the time i saw office boring drama and female leads journey which kills the purpose of the title. I signed for watching Mr. Bads journey not female leads office career n all.
3. The female lead sucked, i loved the male lead n his acting and wanted to see more of his scenes, his screen presence was interesting, but his screen space was so less. After episode 19 it was reduced to negligible n so i watched those boring episodes on fast forward becos who is interested in female lead n parallel leads boring office story, there r better stories out there of office stories.
4. I expected that they will show parallel story in modern times n ancient times of leads, like them meeting in hehaun palace with different circumstances and have some pretty intense scenes but again got disappointed.
Ending my rant becos it became too long now, u can watch it, it's cute and good only becos of male lead, i loved his acting and his scenes very much, he was the only reason i watched this drama till end, though saw him for first time in this drama but he won me over.

cute romance drama

This drama was one of the cutest I have seen in a really long time. I absolutely loved it. I’m a big fan of Shen Yue and so I looked forward to this drama a lot! And as always, she did not disappoint. Some do complain that she does the same roles again and again but for me they are all different. I love how much she puts into all her jobs and how passionate she is. Nan Xing is such a lovely character, and I was seeing a lot of myself in her. It was my first drama with Chen Zhe Yuan but wow he is great, he was the perfect Xiao Wu Di and now I’m a fan of him too I plan to watch some of his other works. They had so much chemistry and I loved how they went from pickering to loving each other. They story was lovely, and I had a great time watching them. Sadly, though the second couple was kind of boring and I felt sighing whenever they had a scene together that felt like never ending. I did start to skip them half through the drama so that’s a bit of a minus point. I really would have loved if Nan Xing mother would have gotten her own love story and find a lovely man but sadly no. I love her though. One of the best mothers I have seen in dramaland. I also know some complain about the ending, for me it was perfect and I couldn’t have wished for more! It also one of my favourite ending I have seen in a long time! Overall amazing drama which I highly recommend to everyone that searches for something light and sweet to watch in between.
