Damn! Heartbreaking but Excellent.
Warning! This is not a romance in any way shape or form. Possible triggers!This is dark, tragic, heartbreaking and raw. The series doesn't shy away from or gloss over extremely sensitive & difficult to tackle subjects/topics, including; Rape, Sexual Assault, Suicide, Homophobia, Bullying & Depression, Assault & Violence etc. The series handles these difficult storylines tastefully, with care & compassion, whilst still realistically portraying the suffering of victims.
It really is worth a watch!
P.S - That ending though.......DAMN! - I never saw that coming!

Not comparable with parent show "T.W.M" but still worth a watch
OK... So, where do I begin????It's going to be one of those "It's So Bad, It's Good" reviews. It's ludicrous! Totally crazy all over the place, very dramatic with plot holes galore & yet it still holds a certain comedic value (just not always intentionally so).
I watched it all, without skipping scenes. There's no rewatch value but I think its still worthy of a score of 4.5⭐ for a fun & entertaining one time watch.
However, if you're expecting it to be anything like "Together With Me" you will extremely disappointed.
The only characters "Bad Romance" carries over from its parent series are the characters Knock & Korn & Yihwa & the relationships between them are continued. These are the only origional characters/cast from "Together With Me" other than these 3, it's an all new cast/characters & story/plot.
I think the production team must have had trouble choosing a plot & decided to just roll with every plot on team brainstorming board! There's certainly a mish-mash of story/plot & themes going on here, ranging from romance, relationships & relationship problems.. to.. murder plots, detective mystery "whodunit's"... Oh & lets not forget the confusion & misunderstandings around sexual orientation, mentally unstable jealous ex's/friends & Bl shipping & fan-girling etc.
Basically, I'm hard pushed to find a plot/theme they hadn't managed to squeeze into the story.
So, if you don't mind that it's not on the same level as "T.W.M" or that it has a ludicrous mish-mash of plots and you're willing to watch purely for the extreme dramatics, comedic value and you don't take it too seriously, then it's worth a watch.
MY SCORE: 4.5⭐

I mean...Come on? Really? What the hell was that even supposed to be?
Notes:
*Terrible sex scenes*cringe*
*Porn without plot & it wasn't even good porn. Oh no! Because if it was good porn then I might have just accepted that it fulfilled it's intended purpose. I mean, nobody watches porn for the plot now do they? But it couldn't even get that right.
The problem was that the sex scenes were god awful! & I mean really really bad & the kissing.... well that was even worse.
*Total cheese! Ridiculously corny.
*No chemistry between characters.
*Just weird & cringe worthy.
I can't believe I just wasted a couple of hours of my life watching this.

Arthdal Chronicles Part 1: The Children of Prophecy

Amazing! (Info in review - Read before watching to avoid disappointment)
Amazing, binge worthy show. Highly recommended! (See info below to avoid disappointment)**INFO **
**Parts 1,2 &3 of Arthdal Chronicals each have ×6 episodes, totaling ×18 episodes which make up Season 1 (Netflix).
** There have been concerns around the shows renewal & numerous scandals. However, in early 2020 they tweeted confirmation that the show had been renewed for Season 2. (See quote & link below). There has been no further confirmation or official updates as far as I know. So it's all still a bit wishy-washy on the details & there's still a chance it might never happen.
Since Season 1 (Part 3) ends on a cliffhanger, I suggest you maybe wait & see if the show continues before you invest hours of your life. Fingers crossed it will be 🤞
