Drama was good but disappointed with 3 Points in the Drama
**** I've watched 24 episodes which marks the End **** I'm updating the review based on overall experience!I liked Chen Zhe Yuan's performances of Renascence and Our Secret!
Overall Review:
Although Story is stretched a bit. It's worth watching. Male Lead, Female Lead and 2nd Female Lead are good. 2nd Male Lead is kind of boring and cold. There are few instances where I enjoyed watching like Xiao Wudi's stylish fight scenes and Escape room scenes.
I had few disappointments with the Drama: (These would have been improvised a bit)
1. FL and ML relation from Ep 1 to Ep 14 is too slow and stretched longer. FL cannot realize the Xiao Wudi character despite helping her all the time. She feels that Xiao Wudi is a Devil just because she created the character in the novel.
2. 2nd FL and 2nd ML story is quite boring and confusing at times. 2nd ML is kind of boring. He is like an out of touch character.
3. It took 16 Episodes for Nanxing to understand Xiao Wudi is a good guy and fall in love with him.
As story progressed, all questions were explained. I guessed that Xiao Wudi and Nan Xing would have a daughter named XiXi (Episode 24) in the comments earlier which turned out to be true.
Note: I've been watching Chinese and Korean Dramas for longer and I know that it takes a lot of effort to make dramas. I'm not an Anti-Fan or Fan to the any person involved in this Drama. I select dramas based on the trailer. If I liked the Trailer then I'll watch it. I do not spread any hatred towards the actors or crew involved in the drama. I just put my opinion about Drama. Hope this review doesn't affect fans or haters.

THE BEST ROMCOM DRAMA FOR THE YEAR 2022!! BEST CHEMISTRY SHEN YUE AND CHENZHEYUAN
I'm not really a fan of CDRAMA, but this drama of Shenyue and Chenzheyuan makes me hooked with it.I love this story, very light drama. The best romcom for me so far, Shenyue has chemistry among her male leads.
But with Chenzheyuan, arrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggh they have the best chemistry even watching their Behind the scenes it so natural.
The best part of this drama for me is their wedding vows, I'm shoooookkkktt. LIke what? am i watching a real wedding????????
Their tandem is the best. After ALSB, this drama of Shenyue Mrbad is i love the most.
Hoping that in the near future they collab again with Chenzheyuan.
Chen zheyuan is handsome and shenyue is so gorgeous.
Again, THIS DRAMA IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Dont agree with others with low ratings.
SUPERB C-DRAMA FOR ME.

THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN SHEN YUE AND CHEN ZHEYUAN REALLY IS AMAZING
i love it, everything, from the director, the plot, the cast, and the team..mr bad is just a fluffy, funny, light hearted romcom you need in this cruel world, haha..the douban rating is 7.1, which consider high for a modern drama with small fanbase main leads, no traffic actors casts, small to limited budget, even the male lead had to use his own prop since the fake prop look very fake lolx..as for me who watch limited to none cdramas, im obsess with mr bad, like really obsessed..what makes mr bad superior? if u want no 2nd leads pining for 1st leads, stress free drama, mr bad is just for you..their wedding scene? the most realest i have seen in cdrama..also, shen yue and chen zheyuan write their own wedding vows, n the director didnt even say cut since she wants one take only, so its just them both acting but it felt so real..
also, again, shen yue and chen zheyuan chemistry really is amazing..

The best iQiyi Sweet On drama for Q3 2022
I love this drama for its simplicity, feel good, unpretentious charm. As a fan of #shenyue, I am so happy to see her wirh #chenzheyuan having a good time and acting out their role very very well.The quirky story of NanXing and her made up character going to be a real person is weird, but as a story it doesnt feel forced. It was a natural connection they have and the rest of the casts with their back story contribute to the whole drama as well.
The ending is a surprise, but I was pleasantly surprise.
Definitely worth a re-watch as a happy place drama!
Another proof that if a story is good, directing is good, actors are good - no need over the top promotion to be an enjoyable and popular drama. A ‘dark horse’ indeed.

It is a fairy tale type drama so there are things that are unrealistic but nothing exaggerated
And the acting of the actors and actresses is quite natural as it is hard to expect from this kind of drama.
Although it is said that Shen Yue always plays the same type of character, there is no doubt that she is doing well in whatever she does.I never felt she was overacting.
Chen Zheyuan, the character of Xiao Wudi is also very enjoyable. He is lively, withal,cute, he is not a romeo type character but caring enough, a bit naughty but not really bad. He suits his role well.
The second lead actor is good looking but the character seems to be very strict at first but later it turns out to be sad, his character is changing, but I don't like this kind of extra romeo character, I don't like to think of myself as a failure if I fail in love.
The 2nd female lead character is pretty good. Second male lead loves her so much even though she doesn't understand!
Nan Xing's mother who plays the character doesn't look like a mother but a friendly demeanor!
I'm already sick of seeing female characters look childish in Chinese modern dramas, at least I don't see it in this drama for now.
Fantasy dramas are characterized by dramatic elements amid unrestrained fancy, extravagance, caprice, eccentricity. This drama is not very logical so if you look for logic you will not get real pleasure but other than that everything is fine.
But the most positive aspect is the chemistry between the ml and the fl.

You won't regret ??
Nan xing and xiao wu di , the nan wang couple are way to sweet to handle . The love hate relationship ?
The second leads were also good ?
This was better than expected the director really had chose a good cast?

Melting Icicle meets a not so pathetic female lead...
This was sweet, fun at times draggy at times... You may also need to know that this is a FANTASYI am a complete sucker for cruel, cold and brutally honest male leads, and this guy had it all.... The female lead was not overly stupid or pathetic and was actually pretty lovable most of the time. And the mother of this drama is probably one of my all time favourite moms... to add to this there are also a whole lot of gif worthy moments and fun/honest/absurd dialog.
And while some of the twists are highly predictable there were a few that did manage to surprise me... The side characters did not show any overbearing or annoying tendency so I should probably have rated this higher than I did but there was just something in there that was missing. Could be a lack of chemistry between the second couple, could be that the lack of "it" in the rest of the side characters and it could just be that some side storys seemed unnecessary and just deviated from the plot. Or some cringy dialog/monolog here and there... Or it could just be my mood and the fact that I had misjudged the timing to binge this and had to take a break in the binge... Whatever it was it affected the score of this drama that has more or less all I love in a drama.
P.S. there was also a hint of gay representation that flashed by in an instant but it was still there to make me happy.

Very cute story!
This was a super cute series!! But it definitely needs a HIGH cringe tolerance. The last 3 episodes were by far the cringiest - they were difficult for even me to get through. The story also lags by episode 20, so I had to watch the last few episodes at 2X just to finish the show.The acting was really good and carried the show. Chen Zhe Yuan is really good at acting with his body and his comedic timing is incredible, and Shen Yue is always delightful to watch. Together they were perfection.
The second leads were meh, IMO. Their arc was good but they didn't have enough chemistry to sell it.
Definitely one of my most enjoyable series, although the last few episodes really killed my excitement.

So much filler
What I liked:-Both actors in the lead. I've liked them in other projects.
-You gave us a wedding at the end!!! Thank you so much, it almost makes all the time I spent watching this worth it.
-Cute, low angst, supportive mom, no triangles
-The lead couple were cute together, but I didn't feel a romance vibe from them. More like best friends.
-Happy ending.
Not so much:
-multiple really bad kisses.
-Lack of "couple" chemistry.
-I didn't care for the secondary storyline.
-2ML. Either it was written poorly or acted poorly, I don't know which.
-This could have been condensed down by quite a few episodes, in my opinion.
I will just acknowledge that I seem to be in the minority on this. Please don't come at me with hate, it's my own personal opinion. Maybe I'm jaded, maybe I'm impatient, maybe it's ADD, but I fast forwarded through most of this and STILL felt it went on too long.
But don't listen to my opinion, if you like low angst, fluffy romances, you will probably like this, it just didn't have enough to hold my interest.

ZHEYUAN AND SHEN YUE CHEMISTRY!
BINGED STRAIGHT THROUGH!! I’ve only ever seen ZheYuan in Hidden love, so you can imagine my excitement with seeing this style of acting for him. Sassy, fun, childish, arrogant! Both ML and FL chemistry was amazing. They felt truly like best friends and I love the fact that he fell first !The pacing of their romances felt really smooth And genuine and innocent!
Even the small things like when she had kept the secret from him and the way he ended up taking it.
I think the only thing I feel like was a shame to not have seen was more action! Ofc this isn’t an action drama however there was potential since he is a martial artist we only saw it a few times but i wish they used his powers a little more often.
it was definitely refreshing to see how well he handled the "real world" smart and strategic. "500 years in the future ? okay then." HAHA
In the end i felt leaving this drama really happy and excited to see what i can find next !

Is it worth watching?
Yes guys i am writing this a little late but yeah this drama is definitely worth watching. Both the actors did a great job, its comic, their chemistry gives real goose bums. The character of fl is not cringy and she doesn't act cute but is cute as of ml acting is also top notch.The drama is light has proper story. There is no beating around the bush things. The 2nd leads might feel you boring but the mains wont disappoint you at all

OH.MY.GOD
the love I have for thsi drama is impeccable. one day I stumbled on this drama on my homepage and didn't think much of it, "oh it's probably like any other time travel c-drama there's probably nothing interesting about it" OH BOY WAS I WRONG. I LOVE this drama, the love I have for this drama cannot be expressed by words I'm honestly SPEECHLESS, I wish I could watch it for the first time again. as someone who is not a fan of heavy plots in dramas, I think "Mr.bad" should be in your lists of plan to watch, the story it self is amazing, the chemistry between the make lead and the female is TRULY EXCELLENT I almost forgot they were acting. if you're a fan of heavy pot you might not like this drama as much as someone who enjoys fluff in dramas so YEAA. I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE THIS DRAMAWas this review helpful to you?
