Make no mistake, this series will suck you in and leave you breathless, even before you knew what happened.

I LOVED the beginning of this series. Yaya is my go-to Thai actress so I was excited to watch her in something with both a lot of angst and romance. She's emotional and heartfelt and puts everything into every scene.

That being said, after the BIG misunderstanding and separation, adjusting to the leads' fallout was a little jarring. In addition, I found it difficult to watch some of Mario’s scenes between the secondary female characters, AND THERE ARE A FEW. Some scenes are cringy and others are too affectionate/touchy for my liking. There were times I was conflicted on whether to root for Kla to reconcile with Khim after all the misunderstandings have been sorted out.

In fact, through a few episodes, I started to doubt the ML's love for the FL. I also didn't agree with how he used the SFL to test the FL's devotion and love. I do believe the director/writer could have done a better job of making both of the leads jealous of each other without crossing the line of too much skinship with other characters. When a series does this, it runs the risk of breaking the momentum of a great romance and ruining the dynamics and chemistry the leads built along the way. Also, the ML is rather cruel when it comes to wanting his revenge on the FL.

Okay, now on to what this series did right.

The series does end up righting itself...like in a great way. With each progressing episode, I became addicted to the couple. Their scenes together should be an inspiration to every Lakorn moving forward.

Bottom line, Bad Romeo will tug on every one of your heartstrings while you experience the leads happiness, and sadness together. There is no denying how Yaya and Mario brought some beautiful chemistry to the small screen...so much so, I'm not even sure they're aware how beautiful.

Overall, this is one of the best Lakorns I've ever watched. My advice, if you do plan on watching Bad Romeo, you might want to call in sick the next day, because you will be binge-watching for seventeen episodes straight.
