The new future TV 'ABEMA' has exclusively released the final episode of the vertical-horizontal hybrid drama 'Bad Choice, Good Love' for free, starting March 25, 2026, at 8:00 PM.

■ About 'Bad Choice, Good Love'

'Bad Choice, Good Love' is a new style of 'hybrid drama' that fuses 'horizontal dramas' on ABEMA with 'vertical dramas' primarily distributed via social media through Show-Dra. Vertical short dramas have been available on Show-Dra's social media accounts since February 28, 2026, and the horizontal version has been streaming on ABEMA since March 11, 2026. The vertical dramas serve as side stories to the main horizontal drama, allowing viewers to enjoy behind-the-scenes character details and alternative perspectives that deepen the overall narrative experience.

The story is set in Shimokitazawa, a town whispered to have an urban legend where time slips occur on foggy nights. The heroine, who suffered a traumatic breakup with her college ex-boyfriend from their light music club, finds herself time-slipping back to her sophomore year of college, where she is forced to make a 'second choice.' Driven by the universal regret and wish of 'what if I had chosen a different path back then,' this relatable romantic comedy depicts her growth and inner conflict as she confronts her immature college-aged self.

The lead role is played by Yu Miyazaki, who gained significant attention after being cast as the heroine in the 2025 Netflix series 'Glass Heart.' This marks her highly anticipated first lead role in a drama, where she portrays Hiyori Kamoi, a relatable woman struggling to overcome her past trauma. Her co-star is Koki Yamashita, known for his lead role in 'Propaganda Game' and the film 'WIND BREAKER'...
