Mr. Bad (2022)

tumblr fanfic in cdrama form in the best way

the setup of this drama is pretty clunky, but considering the premise is an authors fanfic character comes to life i didnt feel taken out of the experience. the best things about this drama was the humor, but it also really tugged at the heartstrings with later parts that really sweetly fleshed oit important details.

this is kitchy and corny but also funny and sweet so if you are someone that isnt into romcoms as a genre then it might be best to skip this one, but i loved it.

i decided to watch this drama after watching hidden love and being super impressed by the male lead and that experience. its better than thos overall for me, but truly this actor is great and the more comedic spin on his acting has been super fun.

REALLY DID NOT EXPECT THE ENDING!!

I REALLY DID NOT EXPECT THE ENDING!! Flabbergasted is not enough. The story is so intriguing, well-written, the casts are good — not to mention the acting. the production is great as well, and the OSTs are good. I love how the story unfolds — the whole plot is just so good. Their love is youthful — touchy, cheesy and so free. Most Chinese dramas takes so long yet I still can't get enough with Mr. Bad. Everything is so nice hehe. If you want a drama that can make you feel goody giddy, better watch this. Five stars Michelin ~
i'm not fond of rewatching but might try..

Undeniable chemistry & great acting skills

What can I say about this series? I am a fan of Shen Yue since ALSB. I have watched her shows, all of it. But I watched this without any expectations. It's just another romcom that she appeared in. Huh! Little did I know, that I would love this. I was caught by their undeniable chemistry, hook line and sinker. They were really great in acting. I cried whenever there's a touchy scene. Giggled when it's funny. I truly felt that their reel relationship is real. I love Chen Zhe Yuan and I discovered him through this show. I might start fangirling over their cp. Scratch that, I am already fangirling over them.

The story is so cliche right. A character from a novel transmigrated. They fell in love. It's nothing new. What made this drama click, it's because of Shen Yue, Chen Zhe Yuan, and the brilliant director. I will add this to my list of dramas to watch again and again.

I will use up all of my quotas for birthday wish and wish that they get to be paired up again. I'd like it to be a costume drama but I'm not picky. As long as it's them again.

Such a cute and comfort zone!

In MDL and my Twitter, I wrote a long review to RWTW only, even I liked a lot of dramas, I didn't know what to say haha. But this is a second time that I write a review, a long long review in both MDL and Twitter, to express how much I love this drama. I love Mr. Bad. And everything in this story is suitable for me!

I like Chen Zheyuan, his first drama I've watched is Hidden Love, but I still don't finish it (only last 2 episodes I'll finish), and his second drama I've watched is Sword and Fairy 4, and I finished it in few weeks ago. This is his third drama and I watched about 4-5 episodes a day, and last 8 episodes a day! When I watched a drama on iPad, I easily lost my concentration, especially when I watched rom-com dramas, and I often scrolled my phone, maybe paused a drama just only in an half of hour. But Mr. Bad brings all of my attention! Xiao Wudi is everything, he locked my head to stay watching the story without playing my phone.

What I'm saying is about this sweet storyline. It's perfect on their own, totally worth watching and accepting it to be a heart healer. No toxicity, love triangle, and trauma, but still have character developments and their own plot twists for making audiences excited. I don't want to spoil anything, this drama is like drinking some smoothies, sweet and sour, you need to taste it and believe it by your full heart!

And Shen Yue, this drama makes me interested in her! I've seen her on my sns for a while and I'm not sure I had watched a drama of her before or never. But this is a pure talent to portrayed a cute and simple character without annoying audiences. I confess that the first 4-5 episodes, I'm curious how innocent she was, but after watching more in a few episodes, she is perfect on her role. Nan Xing shows me she has her own skills, and be an only part can fulfilling Xing Wudi. So, Shen Yue and Chen Zheyuan are a cute couple on screen, I assure about it.

All Ost. are soooooooooo cute and I listened on Apple Music like everyday. Shen Yue and Chen Zheyuan sang a song too! And it's so sweet, I was listening for an hour, this was shocking me after I knew what I've done hehe.

And for other characters, actors and actresses had done a good work! I like everyone in this drama, love the way they are! The crews were amazing and I want to thank you for their hardworking. The director makes this sweet drama comfortable to watch and I believe it was not easy at all.

So, I love Mr. Bad so much! It's perfect on their own! Everything in this drama made my heart warm!! People who have this drama on their lists or hesitate to watch it, PLEASE PLEASE WATCH! Because I'll rewatching it absolutely ???

postive vibes and real type of feelings

i am not that much into dramas
my female friend suggested me mr bad
but i told her ?i will not watch it
it will show the typical toxic male lead with bad behaviour.
being a boy I dnt like that kind of dramas who will show negative male person.

but it was opposite?
it gives me full packaged surprise.
he was bad but in a good way,
it was just a name which nanxing gave it in her novel

both star cast have acted so well!the comic timing as well as the emotions of both actors were on top and the wedding scene was so real?‍❤️‍?‍?

.no toxic scenes
i hate those dramas who always show males are toxic,some how it always affect the young generation in a negative way?but this one gave me only postive vibes?

Waaaay better than expected.

I jumped into this without much expectations tbh but it really surprised me . I started enjoying it more with each episode. So the question is whether one should binge watching this?? Answer: YES YOU SHOULD. If you like light hearted stuff.
The story is pretty simple and the subject matter is something which one might have watched or atleast read somewhere. (In my case I read many mangas with this kind of story ). Here the FL accidentally summons a devil lord not devil tbh a bad guy...umm...not a bad guy either. I mean atleast that's what synopsis says. ( He is not had tbh he is more like a smart dude). Seriously unlike other dramas usually ML would take atleast 4-5 episodes to understand the new reality or adapt to a new world but here my goodness he went straight to a place where he would get all the information he needed. LIBRARY!
Hahaha...and in one day or night he read everything from ancient to modern and understood science and all new discoveries. That's... really impressive. I wish I could have that sort of photographic memory. Sigh*

All the decisions ML takes are really smart he is not just handsome man he is rather connvining at times and knows how to deal with FL in his own ways. FL on the other hand is your nerdy sort of naive girl which could irritate few people at times but I forgive that because the actress really did a great job in portraying her character or maybe that type of role just suits her. She is adorable.
I must point out that all the actors here are really good. There are subtle actions which one can pick up if you are into acting and stuff that they have done remarkable job in portraying their emotions. Not for a moment you will think...yeah that is little extra.

Though this show is little weak in writing but what can one expect different from such a typical storyline. I mean anybody can guess what will happen in the following episodes pretty easily. Another thing that I liked was the second leads though there are some issues with their decision making (probably weak writing again) but they are good actors and unlike other dramas where you will see besties of ML and FL are usually ends up being a thing as if its mandatory. Here SL have no such relationships. One more person need special mention that is FL's mother. My goodness she was gorgeous and I still think she should be FL's sister or something not Mother. But well...
As I said I have certain issues with the writing but what irked me most is the writing for FL. She like a pendulum. At times she is portrayed like a strong athelete and after some time she will be like damsel in distress and the next if the scene requires her to be stronger she will again revert back to her strong self. The FL is oscillating between strong and weak and not sticking to her character which is an athelete atleast she can remove her heal from that crack herself...you will know what I mean if you will watch.
Okay now that I have get it out of my chest...this show on the positive end is pretty enjoyable ( not to nitpick about silly things ). It is fluffy light hearted and you will keep on smiling till the end. And if you are into the dramas with beautiful cast then it will definitely be your cup of tea. Overall I did not get bored watching the show for a single moment at least for now. So go watch it and share your thoughts as well.

A cute and fluffy drama which warms your heart

'Mr Bad' can easily be described as one of the most cute, fluffy tale of love. Although the drama itself has it's own plot holes and drawbacks and it isn't the most perfect one but non the less it's enjoyable as it'll surely bring a smile on your face.


Few things which I thoroughly enjoyed was -


1. It's Positivity. The drama itself is very positive from the start without any kind of villain or typically used jealousy trope which is a great relief. It also gives a message to all the females that we should be ourselves and don't have to change our outer appreance for someone to like us. Your other half will like you just the way you are.

2. Chemistry. The chemistry between the leads were bubbling throughout the drama. They have more deeper conversation and hugs rather than lots of skinship and kisses and even though I'm not against it, it's refreshing how a drama could engage it's viewers without it. People are definitely going to swoon over this couple for sure. And not to mention one of the most healthy relationship I've ever seen.

3. The villain is the hero. Loved how xiao wudi isn't portrayed as the perfect hero which is another charm of this drama.

4. Female lead isn't the damsel in distress and even though xiao wudi had to save her, it's not because she can't fight but because of her own trauma because of which she was unable to. Though I really hoped to see her fight more like in the first episode but it's okay I guess.

5. Own concept with a new twist. Even though the concept of fictional character coming to life is nothing new but the way they've executed it was refreshing. They just didn't make the ML and FL fall for eachother from the very beginning and rather it was slow burn. Loved how ML was trying to set the FL up with other guys so that he could go back to his own world (which also shows that the ML was selfish and not the perfect hero to begin with.)

6. Side characters. Everyone was the typical rom com side characters and the drama was mainly focused on the leads so there isn't much they've done and played a very significant role. Whatever they were assigned with they did a pretty decent job.

7. Mom of nan xing. God she was so understanding, positive and supportive that I loved her throughout the drama and loved her relationship with both the leads and she was extremely beautiful too.

Now the things I didn't liked -

1. The second couple - I couldn't find any kind of chemistry between them tbh. I think personally there individual scenes with others were great instead of them being together on screen. And it's not even about acting cause they acted well and portrayed there own individual character to life. But their story wasn't nurtured more and was dragged till the end untill they became a couple. I didn't understand their problems honestly. I mean the way they separated was something I found weird and not needed. They lacked chemistry and I felt like they were better off as friends because honestly I never felt that connection between those two.

2. To many unnecessary side characters - that sisi and the guy who liked and were friends with nan xing from college disappeared in the middle that I forgot about them tbh. They didn't have much screen time to begin with and doesn't have anything useful to do. All the colleagues that were introduced by name weren't also necessary.

3. The whole mao xiao jun plot was the most unnecessary plot. The way that guy acted when he was alive with nan xing it won't take a genius to figure out that he didn't liked her. Nan xing thought he hated her witch wasn't wrong from her place. And then at last the script writers had to make him look like the best guy who cared so much about her and xiao wudi was actually his creation and xiao wudi got all those feelings because of mao xiao jun. They didn't just invalidate wudi's feelings towards nan xing. I mean nan xing clearly said that she just once mentioned the name xiao wudi to mao xiao jun then how in the world both of their main descriptions were same regarding xiao wudi's character and not to forget that he actually acted like a selfish villain which was similar to nan xing's character description and not like a perfect hero which mao xiao jun has made. I'll just assume that mao xiao jun was never there and xiao wudi was indeed the character from nan xing's fan fiction and he naturally fell for her but not because mao xiao jun.


Lastly I wanna say that the ost was pretty good to and matched the whole theme of the drama.

When your favourite wuxia bad boy male lead comes to your modern world

This is my first modern cdrama that I've watched and it has exceeded my expectations. The storyline is clever and very realistic even with the fantasy elements. The comedy is top notch and the male lead is fantastic in his role of wuxia bad boy with a soft heart. All the characters are very well written and fleshed out. There is good character development too.

The main tone of the drama is lighthearted cute rom-com but surprisingly there is a mix of thriller vibes which made it quite unique. I love that everything in the drama makes sense, even the fantasy aspects of it. I'm a big lover of Wuxia so having that small bit of magic shown in the modern world was super fun to watch. There is a second couple who at first appeared to be boring but turned out to have quite an enduring storyline.

Certainly the best parts of the show are the romance, the unexpected plot twists and the chemistry between the main leads. It's absolutely worth watching if you are looking for a drama to warm your heart and crave a little bit of Wuxia magic.

Shen Yue needs get a new agency!

Its really hard to do a review on this drama as the sad fact is with this dialogue, it never got going!
The script really is horrible, the cast along with the script just didn't feel compatible and really struggling to see where the chemistry is aswell.... Just too much went wrong with this drama from the 11 episodes that I watched when I decided that enough was enough!

* What can we say about the script?.... Lazy, boring, childish which was banking on humor to keep the audience drawn in but seriously the jokes were not even funny.

* The support cast, well lets see - boring, very stale dialogue they were given. The third pairing has only had like 6 minutes screen time but from what I have seen, haven't added much excitement either to the plot.

* The Male Lead 'Chen Zheyuan'.... CZY has more promising lead roles that are up and coming that surely those performances will make up for this one, I just wasn't feeling the humor from him in 'Mr Bad' & wasn't feeling the chemistry with Shen Yue..... CZY is a good actor, obviously he has proven it, all actors will have at least 1 strike to their name so I think we can cut him some slack for this drama. CZY has brilliant lead roles coming up, 'Go Princess Go 2' with Wu Xuanyi, also 'Chinese Paladin 4' with Ju Jingyi & of course the highly anticipated drama 'Hidden Love' with which I think right now is the #1 ranked Chinese Actress 'Zhao Lusi'.... I think he can rebound just fine with some good performances in exciting scripts with some of these actresses just mentioned.

* Female Lead 'Shen Yue'.... This is tough as SY is a cute actress whom I adore however I feel need to hit some hard truths about her acting & where I think things are heading.... ALSB 2017 obviously was the big role that made her the household name & a well built international fan base, however things have never been the same for her since that performance. 'Meteor Garden' was a fine drama, but this is when I started noticing limitations with her acting ability. My worst nightmare came true for SY which was one horrible script after another....- Another Me - Use For My Talent - Mr. Bad....

Shen Yue agency I fear has wasted a good 5 years of her development by not addressing key issues with her acting and not landing her roles to really build up her skills.... Zhao Lusi my opinion was in a similar situation few years back with skillsets that really needed brushing up however her agency has thrown away rubbish scripts, has made sure her dramas have solid support casts.... 'Mr. Bad' drama for me just feels like another strike to SY name, given her track record since ALSB I just hope she hasn't completely striked out for future opportunities for brilliant roles. I think best path forward is back to basics, land some support roles with big name leads to really gather momentum....

With this drama, if you are reading this review and want to see if this drama is worth watching.... I say please watch something else....

I hope my review hasn't offended anymore however i think truth sometimes needs to come out!
