Sugar and Lies (2026)

Split Personalities, Second Chance romance, Crushed Dreams and Realized Ones.

"Sugar & Lies" starring the very beloved mainleads Ke Chun & Yu Yin. They stole my heart in the Vertical "Save Myself" last year in 2025 so i eagerly awaited their next project and it came in the form of a Mini drama this time. What a pleasent surprise!
It starts with what you would assume is a angsty second chance love-story. But "Sugar & Lies" gives you so much more than that. It went far beyond my comprehension of what a trainwreck this complex story was gonna be. With very complex but extremely caring and loving characters. You would think the whole lot is shady and weird from the start. But then so many things start to make sense. Ke Chun`s character embodies the double personalities of Chen Aming and Yu Kin so well. Chen Aming is the broken lost boy who was afraid of the world and the pressures of poverty. Causing him to leave his heroine Ding Dang. To cope with his trauma he creates a techno App called "Keep Love" that is going to manufacture relationships and romances. He decides to erase his past pain involving Ding Dang, but the experiment backfires when another darker personality gets created by his pain- that is the more cold-blooded and manipulative YuKin.

Telling more of the story will only give more spoilers to how extremely hectic everything is and how truly shocking the climax is. It may not be everyone`s cup of tea because you are so confused the first 10 episodes. Having no idea what is going on but knowing that STUFF IS SHADY AS HECK. Nothing is as it seems, nothing! Ke Chun & YuYin and the rest of the cast did a splendid job.I mean, wow the chemistry and the intimacy between them. How they could make you laugh and smile with their hilarious flirty antics! The dark bittersweet angst. How neither could let the other go. We also have three constant set locations in the story , Ding Dang`s cafe "Suga Love", Chen Aming`s working app "Keep Love" and the bar where everyone usually gather "Utopia".

decepcionante

"Mentiras de Doçura" tem sido uma experiência desconcertante. Na véspera do seu noivado, Ding Dang se depara com o seu primeiro amor, Chen A Ming, agora um homem diferente, que mudou de identidade. A partir daí, a trama mergulha em um caos emocional, sem contexto aparente, como se o roteiro tivesse se perdido num labirinto. A protagonista, presa numa dependência emocional, se amarra a um homem que, em contrapartida, a desrespeita. A cada episódio, o clima denso e fragmentado nos deixa sem chão. Ainda não terminei de assistir, mas, até aqui, é uma jornada que desafia a lógica, com personagens à beira do colapso, onde as memórias fragmentadas se misturam a um passado obscuro, criando uma atmosfera inquietante que ainda me prende, apesar de tudo."
