Bad Girlfriend (2022)

Narcissistic protagonist

I watched the whole drama just to confirm how bad the story is. In order to create a fresh narrative they portrayed a stereotypical narcissist who is cruel and toxic in every relationship she enters, and in the end, she becomes an even worse person. It's basically a twisted retelling of female empowerment, which fails miserably as a romance and it is offensive as a feminist plot. I would never classify this story as 'polyamory' because that would mean that there is honesty and acceptance from all parties involved. What FM did was lie at the beginning, take advantage of the emotional dependence of the ML when they find out about each other, and toss them aside when the hype of the relationship passed. Traditionally we see the same situation with the man in the manipulative role but it doesn't make it acceptable by reversing the genders (that's why I think it offends feminism to say that this is some kind of "girl power"). There is no ending that would validate this plot but the authors certainly went above and beyond to create the worst possible one. And if you relate to the story on any level, I strongly suggest that you seek psychiatric help.

Different kinda story!

So at first, seeing that this is a short drama with lots of product placements in the first few episodes, I actually thought that the story was going to be a standard romcom stuff to appeal to a larger audience, but by God, was I so wrong! And I am happy I was wrong because tbh this is a unique one of a kind show that I watched and I was satisfied with the ending.

So now coming to the story, it is basically about a hardworking sweet girl who falls in love easily, but the catch here is that she usually falls in love with more than 1 person at a time! I know it did seem like she is 2 timing with both the guys during first few eps but then they show that she is actually genuinely in love with both of them! Some people do fall in love like that I guess!
Anyway so she goes and tells the same to both of them thinking they will break up but she is in for a surprise when both of them agree to be with her! And so it goes until things get hard for everyone... You gotta watch it to know the rest of the story! Lol

Then there's also a sweet guy best friend who loves her for who she is... In fact everyone is a good person here, all the guys and even the girl when we get to know her properly after few eps are all nice. Somehow everyone tries to understand that she's a different person whose idea of love is unconventional and different from the general population and she is simply who she is.

I liked that they didn't try to change her into a conventional heroine in the end. Till the end she was unconventional but a slightly more matured person in terms of her relationships, as in the beginning she valued only her own opinions more and in the end she was more considerate of others too.

I have seen many comedy movies with ml two or even 3 timing with girlfriends and even multiple wives without telling the ladies involved about each other, so I actually thought this was the female version of it but it turned out to be a more matured approach in the end rather than a mere comedy.

So give it a try for its novel approach!
