Bad Love - Episode 1

Bad Love Starring Kwon Sang Woo and Lee Yo Won

Bad Love marks star Kwon Sang Woo's return to TV after a two-year hiatus following his controversial link to a mob boss. As the title implies, this story is about a wicked, cruel, and sensational love triangle. Kwon Sang Woo plays Yong Ki, an illegitimate son of a tycoon who grew up without love. So he becomes a pop artist as a way to express his feelings and falls in love with another artist, only to end up in a devastating breakup.

While in this vulnerable state (he has a lot of feelings), he meets In Jung (Lee Yo Won of Queen Seon Duk) and opens up his heart to her. The only problem is that, unbeknownst to both, In Jung already had ties to his family. A few years back, she was deeply in love with Su Hwan, a married man who coldheartedly broke up with her to protect his business ambitions. To top it all off, she gets attacked by Su Hwan's spicy wife and actually ends up in jail for adultery (only in Korea...and may be Saudi Arabia). In Jung tries her best to get over Su Hwan, convincing herself that her suffering is a deserved punishment for stealing another woman's husband. Well, it turns out that Su Hwan is Yong Ki's brother-in-law who perseveres in a miserable marriage in the hopes of gaining control of the family business. When everyone discovers the truth, things get pretty messy as old feelings are stirred up again and there is a lot of hurting going around.

Bad Love was a controversial drama given its rather mature plot and several racy and violent scenes. However, Bad Love also features fine acting from top actors, and shows how easily a woman can fall into an adulterous situation and how complicated love can be.

Also known as Cruel Love, Mistake of Love, Wretched Love, or Screwed-Up Love. Visit our friends at Drama Wiki and Hancinema for additional information about this drama.
