The story started out beautifully but as the season progresses each episode's quality goes a notch lower. There were a number of scenes that could have been removed and it would make the whole storytelling much better. Moreover, there should have been more scenes explaining the rift between the two subplot characters -- Knock and Korn as it feels as if no real conversation happens between them.

I watched this series after finishing Together With Me so I'm a little aware of the actors' abilities in portraying their role. The director tried to keep a little slapstick comedy into the series and in my opinion, this did not fair well to the overall story.

The ending was extremely laughable, with Beauty turning into a superhero, Dear and James being together and Yihwa throwing a fit at the party.

MaxTul/KornKnock is without a doubt my most favourite BL couple that I've seen thus far due to their insane chemistry and that they're both hot. There is this absolute electricity between them both offscreen and onscreen that makes you hope with all your heart that they will be together. When one of then does wrong, you get so angry and p*ssed at them for their wrongdoing and hope that the couple will reunite. I haven't felt this emotionally invested in a BL couple until I saw KornKnock in the Together With Me series and its sequel. Initially, I wasn't going to watch the Bad Romance or even the MaxTul cut on YouTube due to bad reviews, but after finishing Together With Me: The Next Chapter, I couldn't get enough of KornKnock, so I decided to watch the Boys' Love supercut on YouTube.

Entertaining though the story is all over the place (I did just watch a cut of it though not the entire series so my criticism is biased). Their personalities are like switched with Knock being the upbeat, bubbly, confident gay and Korn being the reserved, panicked gay. The characters' personalities are completely different. Cho is a player but in Together With Me: The Next Chapter, he is timid and quiet. Yiwha is still the same though. Knock seems to be more intimate with Cho, his best friend, than Korn, his boyfriend. What?! Knock is so stubborn! Everything can be solved just by talking to one another, but Knock doesn't want to listen. In Together With Me, Korn seemed to be out of the closet to his peers. It's weird to see him in the closet in Bad Romance. However, he does post couple pics on social media, so yeah. Kinda confusing. I can see why people don't like this depiction of KornKnock. They're always arguing and fighting. Chinook is annoying but not a fan of the femme gay-shaming. And WTF was with that ending?!

Anyways, it was nice seeing more KornKnock scenes and I hope that we can see more MaxTul in the future, whether as another sequel to Together With Me or in a different BL drama. I genuinely hope that we do...

I totally agree with other reviewers --- 1st 2 episodes were good, but when Knock turns a petty fight into a big deal, it wasnt fun anymore. Watching this you either feel enraged at Knock & want to kick him to the curb, or feel heartbroken for Korn. Thats not what I thought I would get after watching TWM. I'm midpoint in episode 4 but the Yihwa plot isnt enough to keep my interest. Cho is bland & the way Yihwa acts around James is so out of character, I'm afraid shes going to turn into the cliche female lead'. If you want to watch a silly show check out The Boy Next Door. That one will actually make you laugh.

Apenas Não!

Se você, assim como eu, assistiu Together With Me primeiro e depois está aqui pra assistir essa série, eu digo tranquilamente que não vale a pena. O começo é ate decente, consegue te prender no arco inicial porém depois de alguns episódios, as coisas vão mudando e vai perdendo o sentido até chegar no ultimo episódio que você se pergunta se essa serie é realmente séria ou é uma paródia pra você rir. A atuação é uma das piores que eu ja vi. Não gaste 13h assistindo, não vale a pena.

Menos de lo que esperaba

Detesto esas tramas en las que dos personas están enamoradas la una de la otra, pero hay una parte que lo niega por puro orgullo y esto es lo que sucede entre Cho y Jiwha. Son muy buenos personajes, pero los odio.
Luego hay dos personajes detestables como son Mydear y James... Mydear aún tiene un pase, pero al otro no lo soporto.
La relación entre Korn y Knock es un caos. Knock se pasa la serie probando el amor y la paciencia de Korn, pero juega con fuego demasiadas veces ¿por qué? ni idea...
El resto de personajes me sobran todos.
Los últimos 3 capítulos los he pasado un poco rápido, excepto el 13, que lo deje porque al ser el último está lleno de emociones. Que Tanguy sea el culpable es un gran desenlace porque desde luego, no es algo que te esperes y está muy bien llevado, el problema es la falta de fuerza en estas escenas. Falta credibilidad por parte de todo el elenco, pero en especial del causante de todo y es que Cho está ahí por estar. Se está enterando de los sentimientos de su amigo, que amenazo a su novia, que culpo a su ex, que engaño a Dew... y el tío ahí impasible pensando en la lista de la compra, supongo. Incluso cuando Tanguy está por lanzar un cuchillo a Yiwha frente a él, no muestra expresión. Lamentable.

Recomendo

Antes de deixar minhas impressões sobre a história, é importante que as pessoas saibam que ela tem um valor histórico para o gênero BL na Tailândia. A série é de 2016, e se agora ainda existe tanta censura, tanto preconceito, imagine na época. O que faz essa série importante? Pra quem não sabe essa série é baseada na terceira novel da trilogia: 1= Togheter with me, 2= Just you e 3= Bad romance, mas foi a primeira a ser gravada como série, provavelmente porque as duas primeiras eram focadas nos casais BL, e em Bad romance o foco principal era (pelo menos era o que a indústria queria) o casal hétero (Yihwa e Cho), pois em 2016 as séries BL não tinham atingido seu ápice de popularidade, ainda caminhavam a passos curtos e lentos. A questão é que o casal BL fez tanto sucesso, até mais que o casal hétero, que gerou um frenesi entre as fãs que ficaram enlouquecidas por Korn e Knock, tanto, que mesmo à contragosto, a indústria se rendeu às fujoshis e gravou em seguida a primeira novel (a primeira depois da terceira ???) tendo o casal BL como foco (Together With Me).
A série no geral é boa. Tem muitas doses de humor, a atuação tem falhas, mas está dentro do aceitável, Max e Tul com a química contida nas cenas de amor roubaram o coração das fãs, a personagem Yihwa é uma das melhores que já vi em um BL, a ost excelente e a fotografia para a época não deixou a desejar. Sempre será aclamada por mim por ter apresentado Max e Tul como casal. Outra coisa que gosto, é do fato de terem conseguido esconder o assassino até o último ep, em meio a tantos vilões já declarados. Recomendo a série, mas se possível assistam na sequência correta da novel pra não ficar confuso, ou seja, veja "Together with me" primeiro, e depois veja Bad Romance. Depois se permita ver "Togueter with me: the next chapter" também.
