Love Is Sweet

Sweet Love Story

Luo Yunxi & Bai Lu - what's not to love?! However, I did not watch this following their last collaboration (which I dropped because of the heavy angst). I love the pairing of these two actors. Their chemistry is off the charts, and they seem like they really enjoy collaborating! I digress.

The storyline was interesting and not so draggy that I got bored. I watched all the scenes with the ML & FL, and with most of the other characters. I felt a mixture of outrage, anger, disappointment, pity, sadness for their stories. I read somewhere that the director wanted the actors to 'overact' and they did even that well. I liked this series very much.

The one character that I did fast-forward through was the best friend, Xu Li. OMG talk about annoying! Silly! Ridiculous! If I had a best friend (or any friend) like her, I'd be a hermit! Her character was the one I liked least of all, and they could have done without. Give that cute Riley Wang's character Li Xiao Chuan a girl with sense! In fairness however, when an actor plays a part well, the audience reacts to that character, so give Xiao Yan kudos for her performance.

I would definitely rewatch this for the moments of comedy, tragedy, and so much sweet romance. The kisses and PDA were definitely worth it!

Chilhood friends to enemies to friends to lovers

- Story

The plot isn't nothing special and at the begining it is very boring. It took me 16 episodes to watch more than two or three episodes a day and I skipped a lot, but after episode 25 I couldn't stop watching and found it more interesting. Still, the plot isn't interesting but it is fine if you just want to watch something without a heavy plot.

- Acting/Cast

I think most of the people who already watched can agree that the main couple is enough reason to watch it, I agree too. The chemistry is amazing and the acting overall is good. I didn't like the second couple but I couldn't say their acting was bad, I just didn't enjoy their dynamic at all.

Bai Lu and Leo Yunxi played Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai so well! I don't have the words to describe how much I loved the characters, even though I used to geniunely hate Yuan Shuai at the begining and found Jiang Jun kind of boring, but they both grew on me and became one of my favorite cdrama couples. I hope we can see them acting together again

- Music

The music is nice! I have some of the songs stuck in my head now. They're very good.

- Rewatch value

I don't think I would rewatch it the whole drama, but I'd definitely rewatch some of their funny and cute moments because I already miss Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai.

So Sweet!

This drama I loved so much. It really was a wonderful watch. There was so much in it that made it brilliant, not just one or two things.
Every episode made me smile or laugh and occasionally there were those where you had to shed a tear or two.
It had a very unique storyline, yes it was a work place romance but it was so different because each character involved had their own strong qualities and life, not completely relying on the other.
Everything also developed nicely, they didn’t just rush into relationships making them unrealistic. The side relationships in the story were also just as great, and it was so nice to see more of them, usually in a series you hardly see the life of the other people and second relationships and always wonder what really happens.
There were also a lot of friendships and all the characters got along very well, the actors played their roles brilliantly and the chemistry between the characters was tangible and definitely seemed so real.
The relationship between the main two I definitely can’t get enough of, they are both stubborn and smart but love each other so much, it’s so entertaining to watch them.

I definitely recommend watching this for anyone who likes any type of romance, there was so much in the story that developed that it made it interesting and unique the whole way through. And the characters and their chemistry are really likeable, as well as the fact that there are multiple romances in this one drama. It’s very sweet and very cute, a must watch!

Love is sweet

Loved this drama.. its actually good and has everything from romance to relationship, from friendship to little bit of suspense. Its nice and exciting to watch.
I loved ML and FL they both are too good. Their chemistry is great and feels so natural. From looks to acting, from relationship to romance everything is perfect.
I really dont like story of SML and SFL. I really feel that was unnecessary. Even that story was excluded from drama it has not affected to show and main story.
There is love triangle in this story . But its not too draggy or unbearable to watch.
ML's secretary or whoever he was that character was actually good and entertaining.
Everything is good but i really felt there was actually no need to take leap in the story.i feel like It was not required and story can be continued without leap. As there was not much difference except for thier company, marrige of second lead. From episode 31 i.e. after leap it felt like its stretched unnecessarily but thanks its not too boring to watch.
Best part of this drama is main leads, their relationship, their romance, kisses and their acting.

If you want a light, well produced, explosive chemistry, without your usual weak FL and a lot of laughter, superb acting for all actor/actress, this drama have it all. Also our ML visual is OMG.

I would say there is not much plot/story line, watching this drama is as light as enjoyable as watching famous US sitcom “Friends”. OST is also light but well done. Perfect weekend watch to distress.

Both our ML & FL has good acting. My 1st time watching Lou Yunxi modern drama and I was so pleasantly surprised after watching his costume drama. Were these characters acted out by the same actor, the contrast is so unbelievable. Natural is the key world for his acting. I can compare him on par with my fav. US actress in famous comedy “Veep” Julia Louis Dreyfus who won 5 Emmy awards for Veep only. Watching Yuan Shuai reminds me of her in Veep, effortlessly natural acting. I want to see him more in Comedy drama.

This drama is actually perfect and one of the best dramas I've ever watched. The main characters' relationship from their childhood to their adulthood was done so well and the CHEMISTRY is just off the charts for all of the characters who are coupled up. All of the characters had a depth to them as well and the storyline does have a couple of interesting twists throughout. It also just had so many laugh out loud moments and is just very lighthearted and enjoyable from start to finish. I genuinely did not want it to end but it captured the entire storyline in just the right amount of episodes! Not to mention the soundtrack is AMAZING - I still have songs stuck in my head a month later and cannot get over this drama. PLEASE WATCH IT IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IT. It's one of the best dramas of 2020!!

36 hours that I do not regret :D

I rarely finish cdramas because they are super long and tend to drag from its original plot, but Love is Sweet does an amazing job of keeping the plot on track. Every actor is excellent (none of them are annoying) and the chemistry between the main leads makes my heart throb. I think they have the best chemistry out of every drama couple I’ve seen. I screamed so many times from funny, sweet, sad, and happy moments. There is a perfect mix of realistic struggles and heart fluttering romantic moments.

This drama is pretty lighthearted so if you are looking for something that is really deep and profound, that’s not this drama. If you’re looking for something fun and just enjoyable, I 100% recommend. The production value is so aesthetically pleasing, the dogs are adorable, and the OSTs are also so so good. This is definitely my favorite cdrama of the year, go watch!!!

The chemistry is really good

I am a big fan of Bai Lu and a bigger fan of Kai Lu Romance so when I had a chance to watch this one I was thinking it would be like ”lucky’s first love” where the chemistry wasn't all there but It was enough... But after watching this.. You really can't get enough of the FL/ML connection.. They had great chemistry together and like any typical romcom.. There were sweet and funny moments throughout. I was thinking of reading the book but towards the end of the story, it started to falter.. Don't get me wrong I would still skip to watch the Main characters moments.. After a while it still made sense. It could have been shorter but as all Chinese stories.. Keep dragging it out.. Overall it was a must watch at least for the main characters.. The side characters did pay their dues and did the story proud but again it could have been shorter.

Intriguing Story Line

The story focuses around the FL, Jiang Jun, who suffers from an extremely rare disease: extreme anaphylactic reactions to her own tears.

The ML, Yuan Shuai, is a young extremely talented finance banking business man who grew up with the FL acting as her guardian/protector.

Due to an unfortunate misunderstanding between the two, they part ways in high school and don't see each other again until after college.

Jiang Jun and meet each other again when our FL applies for a job at the company where the ML holds a high position, and the misunderstandings ensue.

The 2nd ML, Du Lei, has his interest sparked in Jiang Jun when he believes that his business rival, Yuan Shuai, is dating her.

His motives seem questionable, as does his character.... until we are introduced to the 2nd FL who constantly accompanies him. The 2nd FL's relationship to him seems murky, unclear, and slightly sensual... until it's revealed what her real position in his life is.

The 2nd ML, Du Lei, has such in interesting and chaotic background, one hopes that his story has a good ending.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai stumbled through misunderstandings both hilarious and challenging.

Horrible plot with sizzling chemistry

The only thing that saved this show for me was the chemistry between the lead actors, otherwise its horrible
The ML grew on me over time but man was he a horrible guy at first. The FL also had practically no agency as well and barely got any chance to make her own decisions. the love triangle was terrible also, unless you like two shitty men fighting over you.
this is one of those shows where being half the episode length would have made it more bearable. The second couple was genuinely grating to watch.
I mainly watched this to get over my till the end of the moon sadness, as i'm assuming a lot of others did, but honestly for those looking for more of lyx and bl should just watch an edit of them instead from this show.
