Mr. Bad

The tile should be Ma Xiaojun’s wish :D

What I like-
- He is very smart from the beginning. Writing is good for Xiao Wudi. They didn’t waste time about learning things of the present world. I liked that part that he was not at all dumb.
- There was no love triangle. I was craving for some sweet and simple drama with no unnecessary bitching and negative character and this drama gave me that.
- Not even a single character was negative. Her workplace was so positive. Every person was supporting Nan Xing.
- I love Ma Xiaojun’s mother. She could have hated Nan Xing for her son’s death but rather became her mother.
- How underrated was Nan Xing’s friendship with Ye Qing?
- The twist in the last two episodes was so good. I was not expecting it at all but I feel bad for Ma Xiaojun.


What I don’t like-
- It started great. In the beginning, I was thinking of placing this drama on my top list but by the end of episode 16 or 17, it got boring. Because they only got together for one episode then he found out about his true identity and then the second thing I saw that he was gone to his timeline. All in all, it got messed up in the later episodes.
- But then the writer thought that he had to wrap up everything in the last two episodes and he did until those last 7 minutes came. I mean what is with the Chinese censorship? They did that in “Day of Becoming You” as well and I literally hated that and now they did the same in this. Now was she really in fire? Was she really going through that fire trauma? What about her father? If Ma Xiaojun is alive then the Dad should be alive as well right? I seriously hate confusing endings that is why I didn’t review the previous drama.
- Lu Zichen needed to grow up and he need in the later episodes but I wish it could have been sooner so that we could see more of their chemistry.

An Interesting Story That Lost Its Direction

This drama had an interesting concept and a strong start, but weak writing and inconsistent character development prevented it from reaching its full potential. While it was enjoyable in parts, especially because of the male lead and the fantasy premise, the story became slow and less engaging toward the end.

Character and Acting

Xiao Wudi (Chen Zhe Yuan)
Xiao Wudi was easily the highlight of the drama. He is intelligent, manipulative, and emotionally complex, and his gradual character growth was the most compelling part of the story. Chen Zhe Yuan did an excellent job portraying both his cunning nature and emotional vulnerability. His performance carried the drama.

Nan Xing (Shen Yue)
Nan Xing was introduced as a strong athlete, but her character felt inconsistent. She switched between being independent and helpless depending on the scene. Shen Yue did fine overall, but some emotional scenes lacked depth. Her athlete backstory and trauma were not explored properly and felt unnecessary.

Lu Zi Chen (Luo Ming Jie)
Lu Zi Chen was a soft, flawed, and somewhat childish character. His awkwardness and emotional confusion made him realistic and occasionally funny. Luo Ming Jie portrayed him well and brought charm to the role.

Ye Qing (Qu)
Ye Qing was calm, independent, and supportive. She was one of the more stable and well-written side characters. Qu delivered a solid and convincing performance.

Supporting characters
Nan Xing’s mother stood out the most among the supporting cast. The second and third couples were interesting but lacked proper development and screen time.


The Good

• Xiao Wudi’s character and Chen Zhe Yuan’s performance
• Strong and interesting fantasy concept
• Fluffy and entertaining early episodes
• Male lead falling first was refreshing
• No frustrating or dragged love triangles
• Some emotional and heartwarming moments
• Strong supporting characters like Ye Qing and Nan Xing’s mother

The Average

• Main romance had sweet moments but uneven chemistry
• Second lead couples were interesting but underdeveloped
• Comedy was present early on but disappeared later
• Fantasy elements and powers were underused
• Workplace and side plots lacked realism

The Bad

• Weak and inconsistent writing, especially for the female lead
• Nan Xing’s character felt poorly developed and inconsistent
• Confusing identity and novel plot elements
• Slow pacing and boring final episodes
• Emotional impact weakened toward the end
• The last part of the drama felt unnecessary and confusing

This drama had a lot of potential and started off strong, but poor writing and inconsistent character development held it back. Chen Zhe Yuan’s performance as Xiao Wudi was the biggest strength and the main reason to continue watching. It was enjoyable in parts, but not memorable enough to revisit.

Funny and lighthearted drama with CZY owning the "Villainous" hero

If you are looking for a lighthearted drama with a splice of comedic interludes here and there by the ML, you've got your show.

The fantasy elements were not distracting and although it should've been integral to everything in the plot, it was all in the back burner and were only addressed when it was convenient. This is a modern drama through and through. Most of the conflicts were resolved within an episode which was nice since I would probably have lost interest midway if the conflicts were dragged out for more than 2 episodes. The characters were consistent throughout the series, and their character growth were nice. Just don't try to make sense of the novel/drama logic in this. It'll definitely give you a headache. Just go with the feels, the feels are good.

Although I do think the actors were the perfect fit for their roles, I find that their chemistry was a little off and awkward. There were times that ML was sweet and swoon worthy but then I feel nothing from the FL and vice versa. Maybe it's just me but heck. I love them individually, maybe I need another drama with these two together to feel the chemistry.

The 2nd couple, skippable as their romance/storyline was, they were great support to the FL and ML. 2ML's clueless/dense boss character was funny, I really liked him for that. His moping around tho, I had no patience for.

The OST I think was the biggest weakness of this. Having a peppy lovesong playing as bgm was a bit distracting from the serious love confession/sombre discussion between the characters sometimes.

Overall, I had a great time watching this one even though I was on the verge of losing interest here and there, but it was either CZY or NanXing's character that drew me back in and continued this. I'm rather on the fence about the ending for this one though. I'll just go with the happy feels.

fun at the front, filler in the back

this took me way too long to finish, but honestly, that was on me (read as me not being able to let duan jiaxu go). the drama is really cute and lighthearted, it made me laugh a lot, and i loved the main couple. seeing zheyuan play such a silly, chaotic character was so fun, and shen yue is always amazing.

that said… not gonna lie, the second couple didn’t do it for me. they had a little too much screen time, and i just wasn’t that interested. also, mao xiaojun’s whole storyline felt kind of weird? maybe it’s just me, but i didn’t really get it.

still, it’s a sweet drama overall. not life-changing, but definitely a fun and easy (or not?) watch.

edit; i originally gave it a 6 but after giving it a thought, i decided that the vow's scene and the child are enough reasons for me to give it a little more... after a few days of finishing it i can really say that it grew on me, i love both of them to be honest and they're special to me so.. yeah

A must watch

I love this film so much. I fell in love with both Male lead and Female Lead. It's not your typical modern-historical cross over. It has sweet elements. Although the plot isn't giving too complicated problems it talks about trauma and I can definitely sympathize with her. To have someone who's willing to save you from trauma is such a blessing. I would definitely rewatch this.

Shen Yue did a great job portraying the character and the Male actor also really did well. I love the part where she tried to recreate childhood experiences for him so he'll feel belonged in her world. It's beautiful

Sort of “Meh” for Me

When an online novelist makes a wish in a Fairy pool for “an unforgettable love” she’s shocked when her story’s villain appears! Despite her attempts to avoid him, he easily finds her & threatens her into taking care of him. But unfortunately for him, her wish came with a special bonus - anytime she needs help, he’s teleported to her side to protect her. Which gives us both humorous & heartwarming scenes…

I was super excited for this drama when it aired, but I’m sorry to say it didn’t meet my expectations (don’t hate me!) I don’t want my dislikes to at all dissuade others from watching it, though, so I’ll keep this extremely brief. Plus, I never want to bash or downplay the hard work & efforts of everyone involved in the drama making process (cast, directors, writers, set designers, hair & costume, producers, etc.) Just because I didn’t particularly enjoy it does NOT mean it’s a bad drama. It simply means it’s not the drama for me. But all the glowing reviews prove that others have a far different opinion than mine, which is perfectly alright. We’re all allowed to enjoy (or not enjoy as the case may be) whichever dramas we want.

Honestly, the premise of the story was good & the cast all did their characters justice. I think my problem may have been that I’d just fallen in love with the ML’s character from another one of his dramas, “Our Secret”, which is such a beautiful coming-of-age story. He gave that character such life & had fantastic chemistry with his FL co-star that it’s still one of my favorite high school age cdramas (you can check out my review of it if you’d like!) And I just didn’t feel that same kind of chemistry or connection between the Leads of this drama. BUT I know tonnnnnnns of other drama fans disagree & think this duo did awesome together so you’ll have to decide for yourself. 😉

This definitely has its funny moments. And it’s sweet moments. It also has some sad & heartbreaking moments. Which all leads to a beautiful & satisfying happy ending for the Leads - one they very much deserve.

So again - don’t let my low rating stop you from watching it because Mr. Bad could end up being one of your go-to favorites!

"Mr. Bad" tells the story of Nan Xing, an online writer that has no luck in love. One day, she makes a wish and unexpectedly, the villain from her novel, Xiao Wu Di gains life.
In the beginning the two fight like kids, because Nan Xing has the power to control Xiao Wu Di, but eventually they fell in love, the problem is that Xiao Wu Di isn't really real.

It's a very cute drama, I have to say, but it's really not my style of story.
The relationship between Nang Xing and Xiao Wu Di it's basically a fairy tale, since he came into her life out of a wish and the moments between them are very cute, but for me it was all very dull, they couldn't capture me.

The beginning is cool, when Xiao Wu Di treats her like a slave and was acting like a villain, but a short time later he becomes a little lamb in love and then the drama lost me. Obviously I imagined that the drama would end with them getting married, even though they've only been together as a couple for a very short time and there was no need for that now, but it's the biggest cliche of all, so it had to appear in such a drama filled with it.

Now what I found incredible was the twist about why Xiao Wu Di appeared and that it was all because of Xiao Jun, which was a wish he made as a child, to protect Nan Xing. Now that was something interesting and something I wasn’t expecting! But I was confused when Nan Xing calls Wu Di, Mao Xiao Jun at the end... does that mean he's living with Xiao Jun's identity?! But how is that possible if the boy died?!

Good acting, okay plot and bad ending.

It is not a bad show. The acting is good, the plot is not bad and the music is also fine. But I liked the second couple way more and I guess that's saying something about the show.

I mean, to be fair, I am not a fan of fantasy. This time travel or fairy and other stuff just does not appeal to me. So, I was constantly overwhelmed by the plot itself. If you enjoy such elements, this might be a perfect show for you because it doesn't have other unnecessary drama like evil second leads or drama or angst in that sense. But if you get overwhelmed by such elements like me, 90% of the angst for me was that he is going to disappear and this is going to be a sad af ending. So do consider that when you decide to watch this show.

The acting is good by the actors. I wouldn't call it a sizzling chemistry, it's rather cute but chemistry is there nonetheless. It's a very childlike love story, pretty straightforward with lots of cute and funny elements.

However, the highlight for me was the mature love story, support and business understanding between the second leads. I feel like they made a really good pair and acted really well. I was very happy for them throughout.

Another letdown for me was the ending. It MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO HAVE HIM BE Mao Xiao Jun when you've associated him with this brother-like character throughout. I wanted him to the the Xiao Wudi in real life as well. Like, I have no issues with the book trope but come on, don't change the essence of the entire chemistry for me. Such a horrible end, straight away -2 for me.

Other than that, it's an easy watch. Not very captivating but not overly underwhelming as well. I can't binge-watch this show. I actually put it on hold once. But, you can watch it once! :)

Chemistry is so natural and I loved it!!

This drama is just recommended by my friend, and surprisingly I really loved it. The story, the music (OST)
and most especially the leads.
Shenyue is very charming and cute actress, she has potential and I'm wishing her the best of luck in the future.
To be honest, the chemistry between her and chenzheyuan is definitely amazing for the scene in the wedding
and then when they have baby xixi. They really look like a real family.
Hoping that they will collab in the future, for costume or modern romance drama again.
INDEED A MUST WATCHED DRAMA!!!!!!!!
