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.
