Highly recommended! Worth watching

This drama uplifted my mood soo much. The leads have such a beautiful chemistry and look so in love with each other. The whole cast acted so well. Not just the main lead's story but the second lead's love story was amazing too. I am a sucker for love triangle tropes and this one presented an awesome plot.
I love how he tried to make her stronger from the childhood and explained it to her later. Her rare disease of being allergic to tears was potrayed really well. This is a worth watching drama.

Worth it - until the 2nd guy became crazy

Okay so first off I love this drama. I have finished all 36 episodes. The drama is unique since the female lead has an allergy with her own tears. I find it hard to cope up with that kind of allergy no matter how strong you are you tend to cry if things are not going really well. But thankfully the male lead is so understanding.

I honestly don't understand why there are people that doesn't like the male lead's character. To be honest, I like him so much, he's such an ideal guy. He is handsome, career person who takes up responsibility, a good cook, and he is loyal to just one girl. This is so rare in real life you can probably find a guy that has one or two of those characteristics mentioned. Anyway, I like him and I am looking forward for his future dramas.

* This contain spoilers for the last few episodes *
Going back, the story became awful when they have decided to make the 2nd guy insanely in love. I mean they are all good and the story actually jumped in to 2 years later. Obviously, the 2nd guy should know and understand that the female & male lead are in a serious relationship and he doesn't stand a chance. I don't understand why he thought that the female lead likes him more than a friend? It's crazy! He even tried to kiss the FL & ruined her career (for her to ask him for help). He even got mad because the FL didn't wore the watch he gave him instead wore the watch that her boyfriend gave her. Hello! Of course any girl would wear the watch that their boyfriend gave them.

I just don't understand why they have decided to ruin his character when everything was perfectly fine. They should have gave him a love line instead of ruining his kind character. Just like what they've did to Qiao Na.

Probably they just want some spice and it worked I got really pissed off when they ruined his character. He got a bad childhood and life too. They have just gave him a break. But am not the writer haha just my thoughts.

Nonetheless, I love how it ended. They have given us a proposal (even the failed ones are worth clipping), it's so cute when Yuan Shuai does the proposal several times and failed with it too. It makes me realize how much effort he is willing to give for Jiang Jun. I love it!

That's my review for Love is Sweet. I do hope that I can find my Yuan Shuai too hahaha but I am passed the childhood and the highschool edition. Work edition would be fine. HAHAHA!

Refreshing andsweet drama, it's for you after a long day of work or studying.

*Love Is Sweet* is a delightful modern Chinese rom-com that blends lighthearted romance, workplace drama, and a dash of emotional depth. The story revolves around Jiang Jun (Bai Lu), an idealistic and kind-hearted woman with a rare medical condition that makes her extremely sensitive to tears, and Yuan Shuai (Luo Yunxi), her childhood friend who has now become her boss at an investment firm.

The drama's charm lies in its balance of romance and humor. The chemistry between the leads, Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi, is undeniable, with their playful banter and evolving relationship being the heart of the show. Yuan Shuai's mix of being overprotective and teasing adds a layer of fun, while Jiang Jun’s strong, independent character makes her an appealing and relatable lead. Their transition from childhood friends to romantic partners is beautifully paced, filled with sweet moments and mutual growth.

The workplace setting adds another dynamic, as it delves into the challenges of corporate life and personal ambitions. The secondary characters, including colleagues and friends, also contribute to the drama’s vibrant energy and provide additional comic relief and secondary romances.

While the show is mostly light and fluffy, it does touch on deeper themes like grief, trust, and pursuing one’s dreams, giving the story more emotional weight as it progresses.

Overall, *Love Is Sweet* is a feel-good romantic comedy with heart, making it a must-watch for fans of lighthearted, yet emotionally engaging, love stories.

SUPER LOVELY

This drama is fantastic, just as everyone has stated, LYX and BL nailed it. I am smitten with the couple and their chemistry ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Story-10/10
This was a well-written drama with a sweet, strong beginning and a wonderful conclusion. You'll have a good time watching this light, lovely drama that will make you smile and giggle most of the time. It's true, ayee!

In terms of acting/casting, I give it a 10/10.
Their chemistry is just perfect for one another. Most of the time, I thought that they were a real couple, haha. I would give them a 100/10.

Music-9.5/10
It was good, a nice melody and sounded sweet catchy, but it was a little repetitive at times. In spite of that, I'm okay with it

I would rate this rewatch as a 10/10
I'm watching this for the second time and can't seem to move on haha.. There is something really special about this concept❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I wish I could watch their drama again in 2024, or at some point in the future, as I would really enjoy it.

You cannot deny that there is nothing sweeter than love.

The perfect pcmfort watch: Chemistry, charm and good vibes

It's a heart-warming romantic comedy with a charming couple as the main characters. They are childhood sweethearts who were separated for a decade and met again in a foreign city, where they started working together. The story has jealousy, romance, understanding and misunderstanding, and many funny, lovely situations along the way.

Bai Lu and Lin Yunxi seemed to have lots of fun shooting this drama. You can feel their really strong chemistry, which makes watching very pleasurable. Besides, she's beautiful, he's handsome, so the impression is even better ;)

Watch it if you are in a bad mood or having a hard time; you will feel better. I do.

This is one of the cutest dramas ever. It is a romantic comedy. Bai Lu & Leo Yunxi have great visuals and chemistry. They both portrayed their characters excellently. They are not shy when it comes to kissing. They really do a great job there. Some dramas the kissing scenes look fake. This drama is very cute and has a lot of funny moments. It is a feel good drama.

Fun, laughter, drama and CHEMISTRY!

I have actually bought the DVD of "Love Is Sweet", it is THAT GOOD! The story itself begins early and doesn't let up. The FL, Jiang Jun, (played perfectly by the beautiful Bai Lu) is allergic to her own tears (a real disease called tear allergy or allergic conjunctivitis) since childhood. ML, Yuan Shuai, (played phenomenally by Luo Yun Xi), who is her friend from childhood, is the one she runs to if she has to cry so he'll help her (as her father had asked of him). He does bully her, but it is to toughen her up so she doesn't cry easily. Jiang Jun is intelligent and has graduated with degrees in economics and psychology. She is also quirky with a terrific sense of humor. Suddenly her father dies of a heart attack after an accident. Too fulfill his wish, Jiang Jun begins working for a top investment firm, MH. There she meets Yuan Shuai again, (who is the Executive Director of MH) but he doesn't think she can handle the job and tries to make sure she isn't hired, despite doing very well in the interview. But despite his protests, Jiang Jun is hired.

Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai are attracted to each other, but Jiang Jun is so angry at Yuan Shuai for trying to keep her from being hired at MH, doesn't want to be bothered with him. In reality, Yuan Shuai, has secretly loved Jiang Jun for the past 10 years

Jiang Jun has a mentor, Du Lei (played by the terrific actor Gao Han Yu) who is the Executive Director of a rival investment firm GE. He teaches her all about investments and how to be confident in herself. Which comes in handy as Qiao Na (played by the gorgeous Zhao Yuanyuan), MH's Vice President, is strict with employees.

Finally, Yuan Shuai confesses to Jiang Jun, who returns his love and they start dating. Qiao Na is furious as she always believed she would end up with Yuan Shuai. Meanwhile, Du Lei has been quietly pursuing Jiang Jin and does all he can to keep her from Yuan Shuai. This brings about tension in the drama, too, especially from Du Lei (whom Gao Han Yu plays so intensely).

All through the story there is such great comedy, especially between Yuan Shuai and Jiang Jin. They are so good together and you can tell they are friends off-screen, as well. The chemistry is off the charts. The entire cast is terrific, and the show is one I highly recommend. Thanks for reading.

**TBH BEST MODERN DRAMA THAT AIRED THIS YEAR!!**

Story/Plot - 10:
+ Does not drag you much even though it's 36 episodes it is fast-paced, unlike other modern business dramas.
+ Gives a fast back story of when they were in high school which was nice to see how their relationship back then.
+ YUAN SHUAI AND JIANG JUN’S CHEMISTRY MAKES YOU HEART FLUTTER AND WANT TO BE IN JIANG JUN’S SHOES 😍
+ Plot is interesting and keeps you on your toes wanting more and more.
+ It is pretty cliche but it doesn’t stop you from watching the drama.
+ The comedy in this drama is just so great, I could watch those scenes daily and I would never get bored.
- The only drag through the drama is Xu Li and Li Xiaochuan’s romance mostly at the beginning.
(Spoiler Alert! - Episode 21 is complete sugar tho AHHH IT’S SO GOOD)

Acting/Cast - 100:
+ ALL THE ACTORS ACT AMAZINGLY WELL EVEN THO ITS A CLICHE TYPE OF ROMANCE BUT STILL, THE ACTORS CHEMISTRY IS HIGH IN THE SKY
+ Let me just say that the cast for this drama is just amazing we have Luo Yunxi who is just eye candy.
+ Bai Lu shows a great representation of a strong female lead and shows a good role model to other women to be strong and independent, not dependent on a guy
+ Luo Yunxi fits his role as an ED as he shows 2 sides of his character representation (a serious business guy side + a sweet and funny romantic guy) which I loved while watching it.
+ As seen in the bts, Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi get along well with each other which is the main basis of a quality drama.
+ Wangcai... how could we forget such an amazing actor tho... my favourite character AH

Music - 10:
+ chosen well to fit with the different scenes happening at the time
+ Majority of the songs are in English which kind of made me confused when I first watched it but it means you can sing along with the songs
+ My favourite song from the OST playlist is 爱是 (Love Is) ever since I saw a video (I’m pretty sure it was from the fan meeting, not sure tho) Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi sang the chorus it was such a sweet moment :))
(Btw the songs are on Spotify right now!! Just look up Love is Sweet OST and you will be able to find the songs from the drama)

Rewatch Value 10:
While waiting for new episodes to come out during when it was airing, I had already rewatched half the drama again haha but, when it finishes, I will rewatch this drama again especially the sweet scenes (my faves tho). But it depends on how you feel when you watch it first.

Overall 10:
+ Great drama
+ Amazing storyline
+ Best cast there is in any other modern drama
+ EYE CANDIES OKK?! they're all super hot and that's all u need to know :))

WATCH THIS DRAMA OR WANGCAI WILL COME AND STEAL ALL YOUR SOCKS :)

Love is Sweet - The Best Chinese drama

Someone recommended this to me and boy good thing I've checked it, I do not regret it at all watching this!
* Totally agree with the title, the love story is so sweet!!
* Love the chemistry between lead is on/off-screen - they're so good together
* Bai Lu is my favorite, have seen her other dramas too.
* First time to watch *Handsome LEO* and I'm totally Impressed. I didn't like him before in Ashes of Love but when I saw him in here, I was so addicted/hooked on it straight away
A DRAMA YOU WILL MISS AFTER ENDING It and definitely want to repeat it again.
* Can't wait to watch Leo's other dramas, I can see there are more upcoming, I will definitely keep an eye on them!!
I strongly suggest this drama to everyone!!!!

one of the best dramas in my list

The best series I've watched so far, this drama satisfied me even more than "Centimeter of Love"

I love about the office politics & business intrigues and all the character are well played by the actors
and I always love drama without stupid break up

I'm okay with bitchy SFL or evil SML, but i don't really fond of stupid break up nor infidelity
That's why I gave full 10 for this show

I started to love Bai Lu since this drama and decided to follow every modern drama with her as the main role

but on the other hand, i regretfully sorry for Gao Han Yu that because his great role here made me hate him so so much and never watched any dramas with him
