Poisonous Love EP2 – Nose Bites, Pool Games & Sapphic Sass

Can we talk about how much we love this show? Poisonous Love is shaping up to be one of the juiciest Thai GL dramas we’ve seen since Denied Love and The Loyal Pin. Between the gorgeous leads, sharp writing, and pure chaos energy, EP2 had us yelling at the screen, laughing at the antics, and clutching our hearts at the angst. Let’s break it down.

Pat pins Prem against the office wall after she checks the thermostat, their faces just inches apart, radiating tension.

Meet-Cute Gone Wrong (and Nose Bites?!)

The episode starts light, with Pat trying to get noticed by Dr. Prem—only to be completely overlooked. Ouch. But the real kicker happens at the pier. After replaying her parents’ obsession with saving face over her broken engagement (while she stands firm in her choices), Prem leans on the railing, lost in thought. When her bracelet slips off, Pat mistakes the moment for something darker and pulls her in close to “save” her. (Hand placement noted, Pat 👀). We were ready for tender sapphic sparks… until Prem bites Pat’s nose. Yes, bites. Bold move, Doc. Unexpected? Absolutely. Memorable? You bet.

Foreshadowing & Serious Hand-Holding

At the bar, Prem runs into a couple of male friends and hears how one of them is now dating a woman he once swore he hated. Their logic? Love is love—you can’t choose who you fall for. If that isn’t the writers waving a giant neon sign about where this story is going, we don’t know what is.

Of course, Pat is lurking nearby (girl is everywhere), and as soon as Prem’s friends leave, she slides in with her usual banter. Prem brushes her off—classic icy queen move—but forgets her keycard, giving us a perfect setup for what comes next.

When Prem doubles back, she walks straight into Pat being cornered by three women hurling accusations and homophobic digs. Just as a slap is about to land, Prem swoops in like the heroine she is—snatching the woman’s wrist midair and delivering a flawless clapback about how queerness isn’t “catching.” Chef’s kiss. And then? She grabs Pat’s hand, interlocks their fingers, and struts them both out like sapphic royalty. That’s hand-holding with intent, people.

Pool Shenanigans & Wardrobe Crimes

Pat struts into the pool area only to find Prem already swimming. Cue the sapphic slow-burn setup: Pat slips off her kimono with full confidence, only for wardrobe to betray Jayna with a swimsuit that… let’s just say did her zero favors. Prem clearly agreed—her first instinct is to swim away, leaving Pat looking crushed when she was so sure she was serving.

What follows is basically Marco-Polo: every time Pat tries to get close, Prem swims off, and we were yelling at the screen for her to be more strategic. Eventually, Pat corners her—only to discover Prem’s swimsuit top has come undone. Instead of letting the Doc drown in embarrassment, Pat steps in to save the day, tying it back nice and slow, face inches from hers, tension thick enough to slice. It’s awkward, it’s hot, it’s sapphic gold.

Parents, Exes & Power Moves

Pat’s next strategy? Rope her mom into scheduling a checkup with Dr. Prem. Once she’s in the office, she doesn’t come to play. Before making her move, Pat casually checks with Prem’s assistant to confirm her schedule is clear for the next hour. (Calculated queen. 👏) So when Prem later claims she’s “busy,” Pat is ready to call BS and knows she can sit there and stare to her heart’s content.

Prem, rattled but trying to keep her cool, claims the AC must not be working because she’s suddenly hot. Girl, please — we know it’s not the air. It’s Pat’s eyes on her, and Prem kind of likes it. When she stands to “check” the unit, Pat corners her against the wall, all sapphic intensity and zero chill. Just as it’s about to tip from teasing to something more, the nurse and Mom re-enter with test results, breaking the tension. But from the look on Mom’s face? She knows this office visit isn’t exactly about her health.

Exes, Sass & Power Saves

Thawat is still being a jerk — pestering Prem outside the hospital and refusing to take no for an answer. She shuts him down again and again (as she should). When he grabs her arm, Pat makes one hell of an entrance — rolling up in her car, strutting over, and yanking Prem free. She doesn’t just defend her, she claims her, firing back at Thawat with a snide “Prem’s face doesn’t look like she wants to be here.” Iconic. The way she struts around to the driver’s side after loading Prem into her car? A+ sapphic swagger.

Street Food, Swoon Food

Fresh off the rescue, Pat takes Prem out — but not to the fancy restaurant you’d expect from a high-profile actress. Nope, she goes full local queen with street food. Prem is taken back, intrigued, and maybe even impressed. For a second, it feels like we might get a soft breakthrough. But then Pat’s blunt mouth gets the better of her, and Prem storms off in frustration. Pat, girl… so close. Do better.

Nam, Boundaries & Independence

Nam barges back into Pat’s life, mixing business with manipulation — dangling job offers, playing the clingy manager, and toying with Pat’s emotions. It’s toxic as hell. Pat finally draws a line and tells Nam to back off. It’s messy, but it shows real growth: Pat isn’t letting herself be strung along anymore. She even calls her brother to buy his condo and move, literally upgrading her independence.

Thicha, the Real-Talk Bestie

Balancing out the drama, Thicha steps in as the no-nonsense bestie Pat desperately needs. She calls Pat out on her BS (“stop being mean and start doing nice things”), while also nudging her to figure out how to actually win Prem over. It’s advice Pat knows she needs and listens intently. And honestly? Thicha might just be the secret MVP of the whole episode — delivering both comedy and clarity when the love drama gets heavy.

Hospitals, Notes & Strategic Moves

Pat tries another angle at the hospital, showing up with a flimsy excuse to see Prem. Prem, of course, sees straight through it and isn’t impressed. But Pat redeems herself with a surprisingly thoughtful move: leaving a small gift and a sweet apology note on Prem’s desk. It’s the first time we see her turn down the cocky charm and try something genuinely cute, and it works — Prem is clearly softened.

Car Trouble & Neighbors Reveal

Later, Pat’s car dies just outside the hospital. Of all people to find her stranded? Prem. She offers her a ride home, and the plot thickens when they discover they not only live in the same building but on the same floor. Destiny? Or just very strategic plotting by Pat? Either way, we’re here for it.

Elevator Angst & A Kiss That Shook Us

On the way up, the elevator stalls and the lights cut out. Pat immediately spirals into a panic attack, clinging to Prem. At first, Prem rolls her eyes, assuming it’s another one of Pat’s tricks — but then she notices Pat’s hand trembling. That tiny detail flips the switch.

Prem softens, though she’s super hesitant to hold her — which almost makes it hit harder, because you can tell it means something for her to do so. Finally, she gives in and soothes Pat until her breathing steadies. Then, just as the lights flicker back on, the moment pivots. Pat, steadied by Prem’s comfort, drops the line of the episode: that she will win Prem over. And then — BAM — she kisses her.

Sure, panic attack to sapphic smooch might not be textbook psychology, but honestly? We screamed. The chemistry cracked wide open, the tension snapped, and this ship officially set sail.

Final Thoughts

EP2 of Poisonous Love gave us everything: sass, angst, homophobia takedowns, Marco-Polo foreplay, and a kiss that sealed the deal. Ginny and Jayna’s chemistry is electric, their micro-expressions sell the angst, and every scene has us hooked. If you’re not watching, you’re missing out on one of the boldest Thai GL dramas to date.
