It's not particularly innovative, but if you like dating reality TV, chances are you'll find it entertaining. Go to Full Review Patrick St. Michel Japan Times Dec 17
The show’s biggest twist may be just how earnest it is. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Dec 13
Badly In Love takes the dating show genre and shakes things up with a group of romantic hopefuls that have real baggage, and emotions that are barely in check as they mature. It should make for some explosive episodes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Hrachia S @MasterH26 Feb 9 This was a touching one, where it felt like anime yanki's + dating + rehab put in one. Definitely entertaining watch, and seeing them help youth by interacting with them was wonderful. Probably one of the most earnest dating shows I've ever seen, and these were supposed to be problem individuals in society. See more Read all reviews
