Poisoned Love (2020)

Une sweet sweet romance (même si les ficelles sont parfois grosses :)

Rien de fondamentalement neuf dans ce drama :
- Un lien au sein du CL type "What's wrong with secretary Kim ?"
- rivalités entre frères (y compris amoureuses)
- magouilles financières dans le groupe
etc.

Mais l'histoire est bien écrite et bien racontée. Le rythme maintient le suspens et les images sont belles.

Et surtout, les acteurs sont neufs et excellents !! Ils rafraichissent avec bonheur une storyline déjà connue.

De plus, l'alchimie au sein du CL (Ma De Ya -qui a des airs de Baek Suzy- et surtout Ao Rui Peng -qui pourrait être le grand frère de Dylan Wang) est un des points forts de cette série. Les nombreuses scènes de baisers et de tendresse sont si cute qu'on les savoure en attendant la prochaine. J'attends leurs prochains dramas avec impatience !
J'aime aussi beaucoup Luo Zheng, même si son personnage ici ne montre pas que de bons côtés.
Le CL2 est très attachant et drôle, avec un contexte un peu inhabituel.

Les OST sont sympas, notamment la chanson de Shi Yi.

Conclusion : si vous avez envie d'un moment de douceur et de romantisme, n'hésitez pas. Avec un peu d'indulgence pour le plot "banal" et les coïncidences trop évidentes, vous passerez un joli moment

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.
