Guess what happened to the surgically altered Iliana Ghe’mor…
I feel sorry for the casting director who has to call Nana Visitor and ask her to revisit the Illiana character. (I think I'd do it by phone.)
Yeah, well, Dukat thought he was a kind and merciful viceroy, too.
God only knows…
The more clarity he thought he had, the more out of touch with reality he actually was.
Wow, such a great show with so many bad relationships!
My gut reaction was "Worf and Dax, of course!" But then I remembered Kira/Odo, which, while also lousy as a romance, had the added effect of destroying arguably all of Trekdom's best platonic male-female friendship (and was also disliked by both actors involved.)
And, while less significant, Leeta/Rom was deeply irritating and (true to much of Ferengi-related "comedy"), largely insufferable.
Of course, Kira/Bareil wins the award for "least chemistry in the galaxy."
Wow, for such a great show overall, they sure dropped the ball in the relationship department. Again and again!

1. Anything that was happening in "Fascination"
2. Anything in the Mirror Universe.
3. Kira/Shakaar - Bareil was just boring, but there's something kind of weird and unsettling about these two together. Doesn't help that when Kira talks about him a lot of the time he sounds more like a father figure than a romantic interest.
4. Garak/Ziyal - For the most part they don't even seem to like one another that much until they very suddenly do.
5. Worf/Jadzia - Although I don't necessarily want them to get back together the way they killed off K'Ehleyr sucked, and she and Worf had great flirtatious banter that the Dax stuff felt like a poor imitation of.
6. Bashir/Dax - After successfully walking back the GRIM attempts at Julian's flirting with Dax in the earlier seasons they give it a round 2 instead of committing him to his boyfriend Garak, or his other boyfriend Miles.
7. Winn/Dukat - hard to untie this one from the Dukat Finds Religion plot. I think it works insofar as it's supposed to be weird and bad, but doesn't work for me because the whole Dukat Finds Religion thing doesn't work for me.
Everyone else I don't remember, is just boring, or is fine. Outside of "Fascination" being a weird everyone is horny because space magic plot I actually even kind of like the Lwaxana/Odo stuff if only because it's the only time other than "Dark Page" where she isn't atrocious.

More about a mother's self-sacrificing love than actual romance.
