Sweet Love (2024)

I Don't Like Second Chance Romance—But This One Was So Good!

So I ended up enjoying this way more than I expected.

It’s about Gu Sheng Sheng and Pei Che, who get into this whole arranged/forced marriage situation. Sheng Sheng gives birth to twins, but gets lied to—told that her older twin died. Scared that Pei Che will take her only remaining son, she runs off abroad. Meanwhile, plot twist: the twin who was “dead” is actually stolen by Gu Qian and dumped on Pei Che, who thinks Sheng Sheng just peaced out and abandoned her kid. Years later, she comes back undercover as Ivvan, a super famous doctor. Yeah. It’s giving drama and I was here for it.

Now listen, I consider myself a hater of second chance romances and I’m usually not into the whole “separated at birth” trope—but somehow? It worked here and I was obsessed.

Gu Sheng Sheng easily secured a spot in my top FLs. She’s strong, a little cunning, won’t let anyone mess with her or her kid, and she’s killing it in her career too. Iconic behavior.

And the twins? Loved them.
An An is a literal 9-year-old genius, casually hacking systems and outsmarting adults. That scene where he accidentally sells his dad to a rich woman thinking he’s a child trafficker? Comedy gold.
Ali, the other twin, is sick and non-verbal for his age—Pei Che needs Ivvan to treat him, not knowing she’s actually his wife. The layers!

Also loved Sheng Sheng’s bestie. Total girlboss energy, great fashion, loyal to the bone, and always ready to throw down for her friend. We love a ride-or-die.

The constant bickering and misunderstandings between the leads? So well done. Both thinking the other moved on and had a kid with someone else? Peak chaotic married couple energy.

The villains were dramatic and evil to the max, but honestly, they had nothing on our girlie. She handled them like a pro.

I really liked how Pei Che tried to win her back too. The reveal scene was chef’s kiss—especially when she hit him with that “Who would you save if they were drowning, An An or Ali?” Oof. That hit.

And the proposal scene? Adorable. Them covering their sons eyes as they kissed? Yeah, my heart melted a little.

Also, for a vertical drama, the color palette was actually decent.

Overall: such a fun ride. Drama, romance, chaos, smart kids, boss women—it delivered on all fronts.
