She had to leave everything behind as her mom said that girls doing jobs at night and moving out does not suit society, and they are gossiping about her.
Her mom can be quite hard on her sometimes, but this time she was determined to do something and hence decided to run and make the most of her life. The plot twists of the drama start from this very point, as it turns out that Meena is the niece of Aunt Chat, who is also a neighbor of Cherine.

As Meena reaches the home of her aunt, she is reluctant to hand over the money to the bike service boy as she thinks that is too much, and that is when Meena and Cherine lock their eyes first in the series.
The moment was bound to be magical as the chemistry and spark were seen on their way when the main characters were seeing each other and getting lost. The soft, soothing music played in the back totally sets the background for the two lovers. But as said, the expertise of Asian Dramas is enemies to lovers.

Show Me Love Episode 2 Review: Is It Worth The Watch?
The drama is newly released, so not much can be said about it, but the story progresses a little bit slower. The character development and cinematography are also not so strong, but the storyline is nice to the eyes. However, the storyline and cinematographic comments can not be made yet as the show has to progress with more such episodes, but still, the progression will be a bit slow to watch.
Otherwise, the series is a good blend of traditional techniques and modern stories. The chemistry between actors can be seen both on and off-screen. So, yes, the series can be worth the watch as time passes by and more episodes are released.
Our Rating:⭐ (3/5).
