Synopsis
Choi Jae Chun is an university professor with “perfect genes.” The drama is about an editor of a fashion magazine, Kim Kang Ja, who suddenly develops an urge to have her own baby despite opposing the idea of marriage. The story will talk about Kang Ja striving to look for a man with perfect genes to accomplish her mission. Jae Chun happens to be her “target” in order for her to accomplish her mission. The story later develops as Kang Ja must persuade him to it without any commitments, which is a problem because Jae Chun doesn’t believe in the idea of sex before marriage.

where can i watch this drama with “eng subs”???? anyone know???
June 22nd, 2007 at 9:23 am
i don’t think you can watch this drama yet with “eng subs” as it is still an on-going drama right now. as far as i know, “eng subs” are only available once the drama has ended its broadcasting period.
June 22nd, 2007 at 3:09 pm
Those interested in the drama with chinese sub can watch it at Tudou.com.

i love this drama, its really not like other dramas, its very original, clever, and funny. plus yoo gun is superr-HUNKYDORY-cute! ü . and Choi Jae Chun is basically has everything a girl wants. also Kim Kang Ja reminds me of kim sam soon from lovely sam soon, their both funny ladies. so enjoy the dramaa! :]
July 15th, 2007 at 10:40 pm
Read the book, Project Daddy. I’ve read it last year. I’m pretty sure, the idea for this drama is taken from the book.
July 21st, 2007 at 6:53 pm

August 11th, 2007 at 8:10 am

This is one of the best korean drama. Highly recommended!
It has drama, comedy and of course with romantic content 🙂
October 17th, 2007 at 10:30 pm
i dont like this series because the main man character is not handsome enough.
October 19th, 2007 at 4:02 pm
I must say that “Bad Couple” is one of the most captivating drama series I’ve watched this year. Actually, I’ve watched so many, but I can only count by my fingers real good one and Bad Couple tops them all. Highly recommended or you’re gonna miss a lot!
October 22nd, 2007 at 4:08 pm
i love this 😛
October 31st, 2007 at 11:19 pm
this drama is fabulous!!
this is the first korean drama i’ve been addicted to
it has a unique mixture of comedy, romance and drama!
even though the ending is predictable, it will still make you cry!
oh! make sure you count the septuplets and remember them till the end!!
November 2nd, 2007 at 7:33 pm
really good! You really have to watch it..
for one thing, it’s definitely not boring..
another is it really gets your attention and makes you addicted and gives you the urge to continue watching it.
wonderful drama!
November 5th, 2007 at 2:58 pm
GOOD
November 6th, 2007 at 6:39 pm
VERY GOOD DRAMA I’VE EVER SEEN….
November 10th, 2007 at 12:01 pm
good drama…lucu sih. ceritanya juga lumayan, tapi aku gak suka sama ending-nya. terkesan aneh. kalau sudah di diagnosa kanker kandungan dan harus diangkat kandungannya, kok bisa punya 2 anak yah? mungkin ada yang bisa jelasinnya? oh yah ada satu lagi yang menurut aku merupakan salah satu kebodohan dari seorang istri yang telah dikhianati suami dan didepan matanya telah selingkuh. ada yang telah benar-benar mencintainya dengan tulus dilepaskannya dan balik dengan suaminya kembali, mungkin dengan alasan anak. tapi yah ini kan cuma film aja, terserah yang buat, bener gak sih? hehehehehe… untuk referensi aku berikan 3 bintang deh buat film ini
December 2nd, 2007 at 10:05 am
You can also catch this drama at aznv.tv. You’ll have to download some program, but at least it has English subs.
December 10th, 2007 at 8:27 pm
this is the best drama i’ve ever watched! It makes you cry , it makes you laugh, it makes you fall in love. It never gets boring, I assure you that you’ll be addicted to this!
December 18th, 2007 at 1:46 pm
Maybe a SPOILER in this so maybe don’t read as the ending is mentioned in a sort of way but that was my one gripe of this nice forgettable drama
I found it enjoyable but the ending let me down building up to some drama but then we go 6 years into the future – it would’ve made it more interesting if they included what we were thinking and expecting. oh well it filled in the time but never watch it again I will give it as xmas present. I have just started Devil aka Lucifer and the first 30 minutes had me hooked and that is the first time any drama has got me like that.
MERRY XMAS TO ALL – ho ho ho (xmas laff)
December 20th, 2007 at 10:39 am
Benar benar bagus, gw sampe berkali-kali ngulang nonton film ini…
Funny, Romantic and Touching story….
December 21st, 2007 at 11:57 am
Dann C, hope you enjoy Lucifer, unlike Bad Couple it has one heck of a dramatic ending.
February 19th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
I agree,it is funny,romantic and touching series.I like the idea sending X-mas tree with that touching words hanging around,really romantic.
February 24th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
hei guyz.. hehe because of coffee prince I’m now soooooo addicted with Korean series.. hehe but I really need your help.. I know that most of Korean series have sad or tragic ending even if its comedy.. I get really depress when I watch series with sad ending.. so i’m trying to avoid it.. is bad love a happy ending series? and could anyone of you recommend more funny and romantic korean series with a happy ending.. thanx a lot! please e-mail me here [email protected].. I would really appreciate it..
March 7th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
I love this drama! I like Shin Eun Gyung acting, she is great! Ryu Soo Young is so so handsome! Great smile!
April 18th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Confuse with the ending…so Han Young get back together with her husband or what? really really like it if she’s with Jung Soo… Sigh! He’s so handsome and understanding (and rich!!!!) why would she let him go
April 19th, 2008 at 4:54 pm

I started watching it, but never finished it. It’s different from all the other dramas and so I will have to finish it one of these days.
May 24th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Watch the series at mysoju. The host of the series at mysoju is at myspacetv. I downloaded the whole series of bad couple from myspacetv. To do that I need to know the file link, and I can obtain it by clicking on the streaming video at mysoju. However, the only part which I am not able to obtain the link is 16.4, the last part of the series. Can anybody knows how to obtain the link for this last part Episode 16?
June 14th, 2008 at 5:06 am
I highly recommend this drama. It will make you laugh and cry. It’s different from most dramas. The acting is excellent. I fell in love with Ryu Soo Young’d character.
June 25th, 2008 at 3:37 am
This drama was very good…but instead of following what happens to Dang Ja and Gi Chan, i liked the story about Han Young and Seo Joon Soo together tring to get Han Young’s husband back. Yoo Gun is like the hottest guy ever X]. OH. and the part where Dol Soon follows stalks Gi Chan and takes pictures of him and his fiancee…i have the same camera as her …so funny :]
July 19th, 2008 at 10:04 pm

dave, you may watch online with english/chinese subtitle using the link as provided on the post above. but i don’t think they will provide download service also. you may try.
February 3rd, 2009 at 9:09 pm
Çok güzel bir diziydi. Diziyi Türkiye’ den izliyorum. Kore dizilerinin tutkunu haline geldim. Başarılarınızın devamını diliyorum.
Ryu Soo Young ve Shin Eun Gyung dizide çok başarılı ve samimi bir oyun sergilemişler ayrıca onları çok tebrik ediyorum 2009 yılında nice güzel dizilere…
I like Korean drama thats why I whatch every time. Ryu Soo Young is very handsome and Shin Eun Gyung very cute and beautiful. You are very succesfull…. Thank you for your struggle.
April 5th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
I really hate it when people say dramas are movies. THEY ARE NOT MOVIES! In Korea(or Thailand) they show them periodically not one damn film!!!
I don’t think anywhere you can download this drama with HD without paying a price. But I could stand corrected.
[back to drama comment] Right now I’m on the 15th episode. The drama for me isn’t that great so far because I haven’t really been on the edge of my seat but it is certainly on my top 50 dramas to watch.
April 9th, 2009 at 1:44 am
I have just finished watching this drama. It is good but very predictable. A happy ever after love story. A welcome break I have to say because some K-dramas aren’t normally wrapped up properly. The acting is first-class, you can see that the directors invested in professionals.
April 9th, 2009 at 3:08 am
I love this drama for many reasons… and they made me want to watch dis drama again and again… i enjoy all d happy and sad parts of this drama.
First, i really like Dangja’s personality whom actually similar to me… She is a kind of girl with positive thinking and always do her best to pursue her goal. She is smart and i like her hairstyle especially the curly one. I like her house and her car in this drama also awesome- its Class B Mercedes benz, one of my favorite car. i like all the scenes when she seduced Gi chan. I love also the kissing scenes when she started to kiss the guy, its adorable and honest… i just want to kiss my guy like that. ahaha… The story about her friend’s daughter stay with her and visited her while she was sick, also touched me. Of course, all wife wanted to have such cute and good daughter like that.
Second, i really adore the character of Choi Gi Chan, its so rare to find a guy like that. But once i find this rare person, i think i will marry him. ahahaha. yes, i think most women will agree with me.
Third, i really like the story, even somehow its boring to watch about the doctor and her wife having affairs… About the doctor, he is not supposed to tell about Dangja’s sickness unless there’s agreement from patient… In the reality, a doctor should keep confidential all the data, unless the patient will agree to do tell to anyone.
i just dont like their part, but i like the cute guy there- the model with awesome car– it was mercedes benz sl-black– handsome car for handsome man. hihihiiii
April 10th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
OMG! I have just finished watching the last episode of this drama. A very nice and touching drama with a perfect ending- not a norm for most korean dramas. Just feeling very happy that Dang Ja and Gi Chan can have a family of their dream… SIMPLY PERFECT! Both the actor and actress put in professional display of their emotions- a very gd k drama you cannot miss!
October 10th, 2009 at 3:05 am
everythink,all about eun kyung shin,i like that….
b’coz,eun kyung shin is my favorite actrees
no1 at all,just eun kyung shin…..
October 16th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Why i like this drama is that, the story reveals the human nature of family life clearly, how it solves the challenges they faced, specially the cast Danza roles is very unique, how she faced the challenges gave a very brief motive for a youth of every nation. i hope this drama can be seen by every part of the world and should realized the beauty of life… thanks to all the cast and the entire film unit. Love u all……….

I’ve watched this drama 2x and enjoyed it even more the 2nd time around. It can be quite funny and tearfully serious. Even will make you say, (HEY!…… what’s going on here!); well, at least I did that. LOL!!! I really enjoyed the intertwining of friends and their family’s lives. This drama is definitely one to watch.
February 20th, 2010 at 9:52 pm

Must watch drama – Gumiho – Tale of a Fox child. – The picture look scary but actually the drama is not scary but exciting. The actors and actresses including the kids all acted very very well.
Jung Kyu & Yeon Yi met the 1st time & catching fire flies at the river side – so sweet

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho (a comedy) – also very nice.

Anyone have a link for download the movie ??? 😉
December 4th, 2010 at 8:24 am
I loved this Kdrama very much because was so sweet and adorable the plot was great and really I want a man like this too he was wonderful and handsome I really enjoy Ryu Soo in this role was perfect for him.
The lead actress was a little too old for me she wasn’t pretty but she was amazing. The drama has 2 parts the funny and the sad one but the ending was really beautiful and sweet. Happy end!!
January 28th, 2011 at 11:05 am
I can say its a very entertaining drama, at first I watch this drama, I can not stop and want to know the ending. It is so good with the ending, they finally live happily ever after. I have known ryu soo young a long time ago, I am admit that he is a handsome man, but when I watch this drama I became more of his fans now, he is very adorable and i love him so much, he can play his role very good here, i love when dang ja wants him to do the sin chan dance, and then he do the dance, wow… its very funny when he did it.. i can not stop laughing at that time. the leading lady doing the role dang ja also spectaculer, she succesfull doing the role as a modern woman with much pain in the past trying to get a baby from the man with a perfect genes and tring to seduce him with everything she could and sometimes with almost desperation act, i can not stop laughing when she was trying to get him on the bed with her, always failed but then BOOM!!! she succed.. LOL but then she is trying to get rid of him, when she does, all i can say is.. give him to me.. i will more than happy to take him with me.. hahaha
Yoo gun is great too.. this drama makes me think that there is still many of nice man in this world, i thought they are long gone.. LOL
its true i actually hate the friend husband doctor,the fact that the doctor is cheating on his wife is makes me mad but he also has no ethic when it comes to his patient secrecy, how can he talk about her patient sickness to her friends on the elevator, its really drive me nuts.. well .. i think there is point when i don’t want to know anything and i just love the happy ending.. maybe there is indeed a miracle that dangja can finally cure from her cervical cancer, and she can still deliver her baby and get the tumor out of her stomach but not her cervic because she can finally have another child. I am very happy if that happend, but i think dang ja and gi chan adopted another child because when she deliver her first baby, she wont get another baby because of the operation to remove the cancer and her cervic also. But Its a great drama i can say.. love it a lot!!! Ryu soo young is hot!!!

So why did they pick such an ugly woman to play the main role? Most of the time her hair is messed up, she has no makeup or it’s worn off so she looks tired and she is as skinny as a rail. What gives? Why is it always that the men have to be good looking but the women are ugly?
Then there’s the doctor. That actor is probably playing himself as every role I have seen him in he plays a cad . His girlfriend is ugly too.
July 5th, 2014 at 10:42 am
@ Doreen Wightman and everyone so particular about Good Looks… I feel trully compelled to ask you this…Are you really an expert on who is a Beauty or not? define ugly? If someone called you ugly, how would you feel? Can you create one human being? Do you think God will be pleased with you for calling His creation ugly? Those two ladies you called ugly may not be classical beauties, but CERTAINLY they arent ugly…how would you like to be judged based on your looks only? beauty should be both inside and then outside…beauty doesnt make a great actress or actor…Cheers!

Not too bad drama, quite good story on the whole. Credit to Screenwriter: Choi Soon Jik
Director: Lee Min Woo and the main actor was real good in this drama. Good ending too
