hit and a miss
this had potential - ironically reading the description u think that there is only the main story - which wondered at the start of this drama, why is it called Love Poison and not (logically) Love Potion - considering the "sacred water" and the insinuation the word "poison" invokes - but watching this from start to finish, its freakin Fitting to say the least.
lets start with the good - Tak - this character stole the show, donno where this dude came from, but the sec he was on scene - he owned the drama and every character in it. the actor is really good-looking but it was his charisma that had u at the word go. he a player and he oozed sluttry looks, innuendos and flirtatious words - it came naturally to him like breathing air - so little wonder everyone around was ready to drop their panties for him XD literally and figuratively. this dudes go to method, to dealing with any situation was flirting with or just trying to vanquish it sexually.. even if it was a apparition (and that whole scene was redundant, as that ghost served no purpose other then to show us Tak could get it on with a ghost and satisfy it, from the sounds of things - that whole scene was just weird).
but Tak came of scene to be Sek (Ko's older brothers) counter part - he basically came to warn Sek of his new gf and how she was a user and bad news, considering she had dated and used him previously - but Tak was more interested in making moves on Sek - their courting was fun to watch. hell Tak was fun to watch and his two sidekicks really added to the entertaining atmosphere - distracting from the main boring story. and this was great until episode 7 where the main nuisance took over -
the bad - Ko, first off don't care who u r or who u love, but forcing their "hand" by using potion, drugs, hypnosis or any other means, that trick them into doing something they would never do lucidly is a B.S. trope - so yeah get, cause this is a comedy it was supposed to be whatever... and i could ignore the idiocy of the idea - but the sec Teng didn't fall in-line and he still retained his individuality and reason - choosing to woo Nuan (the girl he fell for)asking her to be his gf. he suddenly turned into the persona non grata / bad-guy, why?? cause he didn't fall inline with Ko's grand plan. who died and made Ko queen?!?
get falling in-love with someone and wondering how and what u can do to make that person love u back - even if they of the same sex. even to go to the ridiculous extant of going to some shaman for some "Potion can will change ur crushes sexual preference" - but when a person doesn't get brainwashed, he the bad-guy - what logic is this??
if anything Ko is the bad-guy who befriended Teng only cause he wanted to get close enough to "drug" him with that "sacred water", so Teng wouldn't suspect anything and drink it - he kept being friendly and close to Teng in the hopes that it would activate the "water" and when none of this worked and Teng still followed his heart and went for Nuan , he the bad-guy that gets ghosted and treated like he cheated or set-out to manipulate and hurt Ko from the start?!? plz
the ugly - is the conclusion, Ko ghosting Teng without any explanation - even when Teng finds out and cause he considers Ko a friend, he cares for - he apologizes (when he didn't need to - as he freaking didn't do anything wrong!!!) and gets rebuffed heartlessly - cause Ko butthurt... then add insult to injury Ko leaning on Tak who follows suit to act as Ko's bf - all to make Teng feel jealous and make him grovel to get back in Ko's good graces. add to this alcohol and weird sex and more selfish moronic tantrums thrown by Ko - ignoring his own brother that has developed feeling for Tak but is taking a backseat cause he "dating" Ko. and now u get why i started this review as i did - i donno what the writer was thinking and why anyone would think this was fun or funny - i fast-forwarded the last episode cause Ko didn't deserve a happy ending - given the 3 stars only to Tak and Sek who were the saving grace of this drama, but even their story imploded in the last episode, that was wrapped up very unsatisfyingly...
