Cruel Love (2007)

Bad Love is a very good drama. I will definitely look for more dramas with Kwon Sang Woo. I think he did a fantastic job with this drama and had a great chemistry with his female lead. I was sold with the title and the plot the moment I saw it.

It started off with a solid 9 for me. I thought the plot was enticing and the chemistry between the leads were great but then when it hit around episode 16 the plot seemed to be going on in circles. It was hard for me to get through the last couple of episodes.

Nonetheless, the drama is still very good. You might not find the last episodes to be a drag like me and enjoy them very much. Overall, this drama is great love story between two people who are connected by fate. You have a great story and a great cast. Kwon Sang Woo does an amazing job and I found his character to be very interesting to me.

I wouldn't particularly watch this drama again. If I did, it would be to go back to certain scenes with the leads (CHEMISTRY!!) but other then that I don't see me re-watching this anytime soon.

(Off note, It was very frustrating seeing the female lead get beat down for some of the things that happened. And when I say frustrating I mean it. I almost wanted to jump in the drama and tell some of the characters off.)

VERY MATURE drama dealing with affair, relationships and human emotions! This drama was picked up accidentally, and now, after watching it - it will remain on one of the great dramas dealing with mature subject matters. Acting was great, plot was well executed.This drama made you think, rethink, cry, hope and reflect on things.
I wish the ratings given here were much higher. Honestly, this drama is underrated!!!
Perhaps for young adults below 25 the drama would be mature to deal with, perhaps not, but for older audiences drama would be great and you will enjoy it immensely. I am still shaken by it.
All main actors, not only super handsome but also great acting in it. I honestly felt all the emotions portrayed in this story. What was great about this drama was the fact that deep in your heart you knew things were wrong and should not be done, but you understood and fell for the characters of the story and no sides were taken as both were justified and understood why it happen. This was a deep drama as I call it. Love, emotions, consequences, hurt, guilt and forgiveness played a huge role in this series. The drama effected me very much. I loved the level of maturity in it, the way things were presented. The main actress and main male leads did a wonderful job till the end!
This drama will be on the list of one of the great dramas that people should watch to see what happens when one wrong step is made and there is no return back but only consequence and regret is left afterwards.... This drama is a must watch!

This was one of the only few dramas i have actually not liked. Really disapointing because Kwon Sangwoo is such a brilliant actor and i love him in almost anything. The main problem with this drama is the fact that the same story is dragged out over 20 episodes. literally nothing new happens in the last 5-8 episodes.. really disapointed because the drama started off on a really GOOD note. It was interesting right from the start with loads of drama and so many different plot lines with each character.. but then it just slows down after about the 3rd episode. Maybe im being too critical. the Acting as i said, is definitely great there were so many different. The music, also very good. It's worth watching, just not rewatching.

This drama started great, it started as a mature drama, but in the middle changed to be the typical K Drama : without kissing scenes, just with friendly hugs. At the begining, The story was great and interesting , but in the the middle it changed to be boring. The male lead actor is great in his role, the second lead actor is also very good in his role, but the female lead actess started really great, but somehow she changes, she never shows passion or real love for her lead couple. This story would be a great story if it was only of 16 episodes, but at the same time I understand the production team if they made it of 20 episodes it is because It Is More Than Worth to watch a K Drama With KWON SANG WOO as a male lead, besides he is a great actor he is one of the most handsome men in the world.
The music in this drama is Great, (I'm sad because I can't find it in app store). The rewatch value is bellow 5 because I would skip many episodes I just would watch it to see KSW.

Some reviews were under rated by mire than half. This drama was an excellent adult story with true adult situation that happen in real life. I really enjoyed this drama although sometime t mad me upset over th leading female. However I could understand the writers views, that something making the wrong choice could have life events hurt your future. At first I thought way mak it 24 Episodes, but once the drama ending, I understood that it had to happen this way in order for the two to finally be together. Overall the story, cast was great with a great ending. This is a must watch drama.

The bad kind of melodrama

This is the bad kind of melodrama. Not a single likable character. People calling it mature but these characters are the farthest thing from being mature. It had the chance to be different. For a second I though they wouldn't force a break up but it went with the classic melo move. By episode 9 my interest was almost nonexistent.

Exhausting melodrama full of oppositions and lacks proper balance. But what's even more exhausting is the unbelievable frustration of seeing female lead running away repeatedly non-stop.
From start to finish she kept running and pushing ML away, I'm beyond done with this immature behavior.

They introduced Park Shin Young in the second half because there wasn't enough "story" remained to push for another 10 episodes. Her existence brought the drama down even further.

Não é ruim, mas tb não é bom

Não foi um drama de todo ruim, mas tb não foi um drama bom.. os primeiros 10 episódios tem todo o meu coração.. do 11 ao 20, achei pura enrolação.. esse drama poderia ter tido 12 episódios q seriam mais que suficientes.

Uma coisa q achei curiosa: teve a cena “de cama” dela com o ex.. teve pegacao dele com a ex em q eles até tiram as roupas no elevador.. mas entre os protagonistas só teve 1 beijo. Não mostrou mais nada. Nem na reconciliação teve beijo. Ela em cena beijou mais o Lee Soo Hwan que o Kang Yong Gi. Será q eles se odiavam na vida real? Kkkkkkkkk questões.

Nota 3/5
