Love Is Sweet

Passionate story, perfect chemistry among the principals, 100% must watch

Since the announcement of this drama I was very anxious for it, after all I`m a big fan of Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi, and I`m very happy both for the success of this drama, and for the fact that the chemistry between them was perfect and the story got me captivate during all those 36 episodes.

The story manages to balance comedy, drama and romance very well. The love story of the characters Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai will make you cheer a lot for the couple, and although the long-awaited statement between them takes a while to happen, even the teasing they have with each other at the beginning of the drama shows that they like each other very much. I also love the fact that they are a mature couple who, despite going through everyday problems within the field, both personally and professionally, they always end up talking and in the end both respect each other's decision. The relationship they have built is very mature and healthy.

The secondary couple also went through some obstacles to be together, but I also loved to follow their story. At first I didn't think they would work, but when Li Xiao Chuan realizes that he really loves Xuli he even goes against the low compatibility between them to be with her.

The drama has a love triangle and for me this was one of the few defects in this drama, however it didn't hurt the story, but get ready to spend a little anger with the character Du Lei.

In short, this drama was amazing from start to finish, the ending is extremely satisfying and it will certainly make your heart warm, the production of the drama was very well done, the OST is also perfect and all the songs fit perfectly with the story , the choice of this cast was great and the chemistry between Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu is impeccable, I need to see them as a couple again in another drama.

hands down the best modern romance cdrama this year !!

i honestly don't even know where to start with this review. this drama hit all the right feels and emotions. i actually didn't have too high of expectations for this drama cause i saw all the cliches and we've had enough office romances this year. but the plot, actors, directing definitely proved me wrong. here's a breakdown of stuff i liked and didn't like:
- i really loved the plot development and although the mains had the childhood friend troop, it was really effective and served as a big part of them re-developing their relationship
- the cast is something i will never stop talking about, they for real carried the whole show and made me want to watch more
- everyone acted their roles so well, props to the casting people for casting this amazing cast
- there are so many couples/ pairings omg i think like 6, there will defiantly be a couple you'll like
- the mains chemistry is something i can not explain, it's just so gooood from their bickering to their cuteness, ahh i can't ever get over
- the setting and cinematography is woww rlly raised the level of cdrama production for me
- so many funny moments, i would like to thank the screenwriters cause i literally fell on my floor in one of the scenes
- wang cai is the cutest
here's some things i think could be improved on:
- i rlly wanted to jiang jun to maybe do something that proved her love for yuan shuai since i though it was always him covering and taking care of her
- du lei i just don't understand sometimes, but gao hanyu portrayed him v well
- the ending ughh i felt like it was a bit rushed, i wanted to see more of each character but ig we'll just have to hope for a season 2 !!
overall an amazing watch w outstanding production, directing, acting. 10/10 recommend for everyone and anyone.

YOU CAN’T MISS THIS!!!

“Love Is Sweet” started off as a really “sweet” modern drama, but later got into darker and more mature topics such as law and bullying. This drama was very different from the modern dramas I usually watch, because I don’t usually like them in a business setting. “Love Is Sweet”, however, proved me wrong. You can enjoy a good drama no matter what it’s about.
The storyline was entertaining for me. Not only was there baffling plot twists, but there was also lots of humor. I also liked how the drama showed how strong women can be and how we can also being in business industries such as investment. After watching this drama, I only hope that there will be women as strong and as smart like Jiang Jun, in reality. Since she’s allergic to tears, the chance of her success in the industry was low, but that didn’t dampen her confidence and actually boosted her effort to keep going.
A good drama calls for a even better cast, and “Love Is Sweet” no doubt had one of the best casts I’d ever came across. Bai Lu was definitely the first person that came to my mind when I thought of Jiang Jun, and she suited the character perfectly. Such a talented actress like Bai Lu never disappoints me. This was the first time I’d seen Luo YunXi in a drama- and let me just say- for a somewhat newly debuted actor, his skills are basically in line with someone who’s been in the film industry for years. The way he suits every character he plays is extremely professional, and he does it so well! In fact, after watching “Love Is Sweet”, I ran over to “Ashes of Love”, and YunXi displayed the same amount of work ethic and talent that called for the very success of this drama. Apart from the main lead, however, the second leads were also amazing. The chemistry was totally insane in this drama, so kudos to the actors/actresses!
I really enjoyed this drama in general; good story, great cast, perfect OST, and a wonderful crew for making this all possible. I really recommend “Love Is Sweet” if you’re looking for one heck of a lovely modern drama!

Bai Lu fell on my radar a few years ago with King is Not Easy and I was instantly taken with her charming smile and bubbly persona. I have thirsted after Leo Luo ever since My Sunshine came out, and desperately checked his drama list often in the hope that he'd eventually lead a drama. The day is here and I cannot be happier that it's with Bai Lu. Both of them manage to produce such natural chemistry with their co-stars, and this time was no different- if I'm giving this drama an 8, it's purely, PURELY, because of them. It's so rare, but they actually acted like legit couples in that they were affectionate and touchy-feely. Very often drama couples continue to be so shy around each other even after dating for a while, which is ridiculously unrealistic and boring. Thank god there is none of that here!

Because the drama itself? Mediocre. I really didn't care about the secondary characters, and I skipped nearly all their scenes. It still annoys me that they relegated someone as talented and cute as Riley Wang to just a love interest for the female lead's best friend. The second male lead was annoying at best, but honestly, I hate what they did to him by the end. I wasn't his biggest fan by any means, but was it really necessary to turn him into the corrupt village creep? Honestly, I found myself wishing they ended the show at 30 episodes, it seemed like a decent way to end with everyone coming out better and grown. I am happy that we got more time with Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai, but the way they twisted Du Lei's character was so unnecessary.

Also, the women in this drama were dressed SO bad. Honest to God, everything they wore was absolutely terrible. The men, comparatively, were dressed incredibly well, which made the contrast even worse. It became marginally better towards the end, and by marginally, I mean they finally removed that ugly-ass oversized check jacket and boyfriend jeans off Bai Lu. That alone made a world of difference.

A little imbalanced

I mostly enjoyed this drama, but I can't shake the feeling that the FL didn't deserve the male lead. Maybe it's because his love and loyalty was so encompassing that she seemed apathetic in comparison. I just wish they would have had a few examples of her being even a fraction as thoughtful as he was. Like a birthday or holiday gift; something, anything! It just felt like too big of a disparity. Actually, come to think of it, this may just be a Bai Lu problem because I got a similar impression from her in Forever and Ever. In that drama she at least verbalized her love and loyalty to the ML, but it wasn't always convincing. Sometimes it was just lines she was delivering. What really gave that romance credibility was One and Only. For whatever reason their love was 100% believable and engaging in O&O, despite the limitations of a serious period drama. Sorry, I digressed. Anyway, LYZ is absolute gold in this. He's so fun to watch, despite any other frustrations.

A Sweet Love Story A Must Watch for All C-Drama Fans

Oh my goodness. This was such a sweet drama to enjoy, literally. If you want a sweet drama, THIS is the drama for you. The chemistry between the leads is Super-Duper on/off-screen. They were the cutest I have ever seen. And I've never seen any of Bai Lu's drama before so this really was adorable to watch.

Kido and Riley Wang were also cute. Though, I think I preferred Riley after the 30th episode, oh, and speaking of 30 episodes. I will let you know that IF you want, you CAN stop at episode 30. I'm pretending that the last 6 episodes are considered "extra special" episodes because the way episode 30 ended was perfect, but having that extra 6 episode was adorable. I will say, don't watch half of episode 34. I wanted to punch Du Lei for trying to force Jiang Jun to love him. Like, if she hasn't seen you any more than a teacher figure after the 3 years of knowing him, it's a hint that she loves Yuan Shuai more than you can ever know. Urgh. Episode 34 made me so angry. URGH!

Episode 20 made me cry so much all because of the amazing kiss. I loved that Bai Lu came up with the idea of that kiss scene and my goodness, my heart melted for the scene along with it being timed perfectly with the music and URGH, I thought My Unicorn Girl had a sweet kiss scene. Well, nothing beats episode 20 of Love Is Sweet. Out of all the c-dramas I've watched so far, this one is above 100%.

In the end, all the actors have done a good job portraying their character. I still cannot handle Du Lei. I think out of all the characters that really bugged me the most, it would have to be Du Lei.

Music. Now, let's talk about music. The music is amazing! I even downloaded each of the songs and I'm someone who doesn't have a lot of c-dramas OST, but this c-drama had so many songs and each of those songs was perfect. It literally fits the spot where it belonged. Not only did I really enjoy the story, I mostly enjoyed the music.

Sizzling chemistry!!!

Should you? Would you? Could you?
You should watch this one (YES! )
You would recommend this to others. (YES!)
You could watch this again. (YES)

Ending: All’s well that end’s well

If you want to watch a “mostly” stress-free drama with a lot of chemistry between the two main lead pairs, then this is the one for you.
While you have the main lead pair knowing each other from childhood, the other lead pair is the typical FL falling in love with the ML and her chase. But what is good is their repartee which doesn’t let you fast forward.
The FL has a severe allergy to her own tears which makes her faint every time she sheds them. The ML vows to protect her from crying and catches her every time she drops down. They are so comfortable with each other that it doesn’t seem like a drama but a window to their actual world....that's how good their acting is. They are childhood friends turned hostile (on the FL’s part). They work together and the story takes on a mysterious tone when the subject of the FL’s father’s death is brought in.
The mystery is resolved. Some misunderstandings occur but are dispelled eventually.
But all this wouldn’t be complete without the stellar acting of the negative ML brilliantly portrayed by Kido Gao as Du Lei. What a performance! What an actor he is! He reminded me of Kim Woo Bin from The Heirs. Brilliant turn of emotions. Brilliant change of character from negative to positive and negative again. The only drawback I found was the over the top expressions some of the times.
The supporting cast is equally good too.

Towards the end:
I loved the fact that we lived through the ML’s (both pairs) love with them for a span of 6 extra episodes instead of just a moment of happy ending. And I loved the proposal which strangely brought tears to my eyes. I felt as if I rode along their journey of love with them and was happy to see it culminate in the perfect ending that was.

All in all, It's a good drama with a typical love story brought to life by good acting thanks to the entire cast.

A Timeless Gem

Hey fellow drama enthusiasts! 😄 So, I know I'm fashionably late to the review party, but hear me out. I only recently started jotting down my drama thoughts post "Hidden Love," and let's be honest, how could I not give a shoutout to my all-time favorite, "Love is Sweet"? 💖

Let's rewind a bit. I embarked on this delightful drama journey two years ago, and guess what? "Love is Sweet" was the first and, hands down, the ultimate best drama I've ever encountered. And no, I'm not saying it's the best; I'm screaming it's the "all-time best." 🌟

Now, I'm not usually the type to rewatch dramas endlessly. I mean, who has the time, right? But this masterpiece? I've lost count at seven rewatches, and you know what? It still hits me right in the feels every single time. I've dabbled in other dramas, like "Hidden Love," "Alchemy of Souls S1 and S2," and the ever-popular "Dr. Romantic." Don't get me wrong; they're good, but after a few rounds, the magic tends to fade. 🌈

Now, let's talk about "Love is Sweet." This drama is a gem, an absolute gem. It's got that timeless quality that keeps me hooked, entertained, and emotionally invested, no matter how many times I've seen it. The chemistry between Luo Yun Xi and Bai Lu is pure magic. I can't get enough of their stellar performances. ✨

So, if you haven't embarked on this journey yet, do yourself a favor and dive into "Love is Sweet." Trust me; you won't be disappointed. It's not just a drama; it's an experience. Happy watching, fellow drama addicts! 🍿👀
