Poisoned Love (2020)

I feel like a 8.5 for this show is pretty acceptable. Like it wasn't over the top but it wasn't crap. Lol.

It starts off with a girl that has a traumatic past that goes through something mentally and it sucks because she doesn't know what she needs to do or how to help it in any way. You have a business man that really just minds his own, has a funny assistant, has a strained relationship with his brother and all in all, this show is like What's Wrong With Secretary Kim but like...not as dramatic honestly. Lol. The two cross each other because of fate really and the rest is kind of history. The perks of this show is the female lead is sweet and adorable, hard working and understanding. The male lead tries to be aggressive and mean but he's really sweet, has a soft spot for the FL and even when he's trying to be tough, he cares for her and I love that for them. LMAO. At first things are a little put off because of misunderstanding and your average bickering but the chemistry they had and evolved into was wonderful and the kisses were...*chefs kiss*; also the side stories, not even bad. I also LOVE that the girl that had a crush on the ML didn't come and try to be a home wrecker lol love when it's not toxic.

The acting was great! I personally have never seen the main leads in any shows but they did fantastic and I like that they clicked together. I liked the brother a lot more in Girlfriend because he wasn't a jerk but he played a good actor because you couldn't tell who he was actually helping. I also liked the best friend, she was great in Go Go Squid, great in this show too. So all in all, I liked everyone and everything.

The music was sooo nice. Like so nice. I really liked that they timed the instrumentals perfectly; it's a rare occurrence for that.

You know what? I rarely rewatch shows, but I think I just might. They were honestly so sweet together, had great kisses, were not toxic at all and they really were just trying to do what they need to do for each other and I dig that. So overall, a great show. A fluffy kind of show with a cliche storyline but you know what I say, old but gold in my book.

Sweet romance met with dark background/past

Good thing this drama is 25 episodes, any longer and it would of gotten draggy. Overall this is a good watch but it wasnt my most favorite. The song intro portrayed a lot of cute and sweet scenes.( which there were), but it isnt your average cute love story. I would say the backstory is some what dark. I mean the female lead had a trauma past incident , when she gets scared she goes into sleepwalking phase where she basically is not conscious. Her only medicine is the main male lead.

Male lead is a ceo of a film company. Female lead is an voice actress. Through an incident she believes that the person who can help cure her is the second male lead , aka male lead's brother. Second male lead is a famous idol, that's how she gets to know the male lead. The mom tricks the female lead to become the maid for male lead, but she though it was for the idol ( which he could help her if she gets scared.) the cure is for them to hug or kiss lol . Male lead ceo is step up rules in his house and if you break them, you have to pay a fine. Thus beginning their bickering and eventually developing into love :)

Romance- First of all the female and male are so cute together. They have really cute and sweet scenes. They have a good chemistry with each other. Their kisses are also believable and passionate. They also are shy to show that they are in love . The second male lead also ends up liking the female lead ( no big surprise)

To me the development of the relationship between the male and female lead was kinda slow, i think like 14 episodes in/after that they are actually together. Also the latter half focused on her getting her memory back about what happen to her and the kidnapping when she was young. The kidnapping part of the story is where i minus some points. Some parts didnt really make sense... like they were like young when it happened but the story portrays it like its couple years ago that happen. Maybe for the flashbacks they didnt do it obvious enough... im like what? In the process of her finding our what happen during the kidnapping is when it turns a little more dramatic. its no longer the cute love story... so just be aware.

One annoying character I could not stand, was how that character knew that when the female lead sees something scary it triggers her sleepwalking and annoying evil side character did that like many times... to mess with her and mess her voice acting screen ....

I would say romance is half of the story and the other half is finding out what happened in the past.
