Boring and poorly written
The worst historical drama of all time. I've noticed the dramas of late is more for women almost completely leaving out the male leads. This is not right or fair to our chinese male leads. This is not a romance drama and the focus is more on revenge. Neither of them have any redeeming qualities and they choose to remain that way. I stopped watching it because it was that bad. This is not what love is. Love does not treat each other like this. In the past the chinese movies hates on women, abused and raped them which why I stopped watching it. Now they going back to the abuse and misuse of women. Furthermore, I hate dramas where the male lead has been married before.Biggest waste of my time. How could a 17 year old without education and experience able to achieve what no one could was just too unrealistic. The script was boring and trivial. I wasn't entertained or interested, I lament the waste of my time. Script was not interesting or exciting though the cast was excellent in their roles but the series sucked. Shame on the writers for gross negligence failing to come up with something more intelligent.Was this review helpful to you?
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.

Well i loved it, not something Ĺźtrong but it's sweet and enjoyable.
Actually I liked this drama a lot, well I won't say that everything in it is perfect, no at all there were annoying and wrong things, but it is definitely a beautiful thing to watch, the story is good I see that there is a message they want to deliver, a message that you can understand according to your point of view, the acting was good to some extent the actor is handsome and good and the heroine is beautiful, the acting was at a calm level because the drama itself is calm in my opinion, I liked the way some scenes were directed and filmed a lot, I liked the relationship of respect between them as a teacher and a student who love each other without crossing the boundaries and she was the one who sets the boundaries this is good because we usually see that the heroines in Japanese dramas are proactive and don't set boundaries sometimes, here the matter is different the heroine is calm and shy but she is smart and strong in a smart and peaceful way, what I didn't like is the opening song I didn't like much and also their dancing it would have been better if the opening and the theme were somewhat calm to match the idea of ​​the drama but overall it is enjoyable to watch after a hard day.Was this review helpful to you?
Enjoyable but not impressive.
I really enjoyed this series. Some aspects of repetition worked well but on the whole I felt there was too much repetition. Too much going back to their school days and reliving the exact same thing over and over. The love story was very nice, their chemistry was good. But family life was not portrayed in a good light at all. No forgiveness, no real understanding of each other. One scene annoyed me and didn't seem necessary - when on the same day he was being checked in hospital for a wound and he'd had 8 stitches in his hand - she asked him to carry her and he did so without a problem... that seemed a bit odd. On the good side - it was about the possibility of healing and sharing the truth with people around you for support.Was this review helpful to you?
Started good and ended downhill
The start was giving a high budget drama, then oppp went downhill, the acting of all actors and actresses is awful, just some supporting actors saved it and made some scenes watchable.The Cgi is a huge mess and the background music is randomly set.
the director seems just to put the scene randomly together without any serial consideration.
with all these actors and actresses but they couldn't save the drama as the plot is lacking logic and the characters are off topic with no development in the whole series.

Not something new, but it has some lights.
Some aspects of repetition worked well but on the whole I felt there was too much repetition. I find the transition of the main couple's relationship from a brother-sister dynamic to a romance unconvincing and forced, the age difference between the leads when the relationship starts and the early framing of their relationship are seems a little uncomfortable.Underdeveloped Side Characters:
Side characters and their storylines are being just as cookie-cutter and sidelined, leaving some parts of the narrative bland when not focused on the leads, which is something i didn't like, i wanted more depth and story for the side character.

enjoyable with some flows.
I loved the first half and watched it straight through, but around episode 24, I started to get bored because I felt the story was getting a bit repetitive.Actually all xianxia dramas similar in terms of how the main characters are constantly separated and then reunited, and this cycle repeat itself? but at least make some surprises in the plot, let it be full of plot twists, unforgettable fighting scenes etc, to make it more appealing and to avoid making the audience bored, i watched some dramas of these genre and usually enjoy watching thus kind of stories, but i could pass through ep 22 for this drama.

A Gripping Tale of Love, cheating and hidden lessons.
It's a standout and fresh romcom drama that masterfully weaves together elements of romance, slight comedy and beautiful aesthetics, it has a rich character development a bit slow but worth the wait, stellar performances, and enjoyable story. It isn't just a story about love—it's a tribute to youthful ambition, national identity, and the courage it takes to fight for what one believes in.The main Character Zheng Shu yi shows that one can make mistakes in life, and lower his/her standard to the wrong people.. but life will give u the replacement as long as u move on from toxic people.

What a stupid drama:/
So cliche and childish drama, like seriously the story is so so but what makes it even awful is the female lead acting, she doesn't even deserve to be called an actress, she is forcing this cute acting thinking it's cute and lovely but it's just overacted and embarrassing, i looked to her age she is almost 30years but those movements looks like a child behavior, don't tell me it's the character type cuz i watched many types of these characters but they were quite good and watchable cuz the actresses were goid in delivering their roles...The male lead is okay, no good but not bad too.

Not bad, but not for everyone taste.
an action-packed drama with a perfect mix of romance, mystery, and suspense. Ji Chang-wook stars as a mysterious courier known as “Healer” who gets entangled In a decades-old conspiracy while protecting Chae Young-shin (Park Min-young), a spirited reporter. The drama keeps you on edge with its thrilling plot and well-choreographed action scenes. The romantic relationship is beautifully developed, with the leads sharing palpable chemistry. stands out for its gripping narrative, strong character development, and emotional depth..I just didn't like some parts of the female lead character but generally it's good.Was this review helpful to you?
It's good, i recommend it.
It's a refreshing tale of ambition, revenge, and social justice. Park Sae-ro-yi (Park Seo-joon) is a determined man who seeks to turn his small pub into a global franchise while challenging the corruption of a powerful food conglomerate. The drama highlights themes of perseverance, equality, and acceptance, featuring a diverse set of characters like Jo Yi-seo (Kim Da-mi), a quirky genius, and Ma Hyun-yi, a transgender chef. The gripping plot keeps viewers invested, while the realistic struggles faced by the characters make it relatable. The drama is a perfect blend of inspirational storytelling, strong performances, and a catchy OST like “Start Over” by Gaho, i enjoyed it and rewatched it i love dami's acting and personality here so much seo joon hmmm is good but i think his character is a bit annoying in sometimes.Was this review helpful to you?
Shows you a deep meaning of love
*One and Only* is a beautifully crafted Chinese historical romance drama that captivates with its emotional depth and delicate storytelling. Set during the war-torn era of ancient China, the series follows the poignant love story between the reserved, honorable military commander Zhou Sheng Chen, played by Ren Jialun, and Cui Shiyi, a noblewoman destined for an arranged marriage, portrayed by Bai Lu.What makes *One and Only* stand out is its subtle yet heart-wrenching portrayal of forbidden love, focusing more on unspoken feelings, loyalty, and duty rather than overt romantic gestures. The slow-burn romance is filled with moments of longing, sacrifice, and a deep bond that grows between the leads, all while staying rooted in the constraints of their time.
The cinematography is elegant and minimalistic, capturing the period’s aesthetics with muted colors and intricate details in the sets and costumes. The performances are top-notch, especially Ren Jialun’s portrayal of the stoic, emotionally complex commander. Bai Lu also shines, bringing grace and vulnerability to her character.
The pacing is measured and deliberate, which may feel slow to some viewers, but it’s perfectly in line with the tone of the story. The drama is a bittersweet journey, more about the emotional depth of its characters than fast-moving plot twists.
Overall, *One and Only* is a beautifully melancholic and tender romance that leaves a lasting impression, particularly for those who appreciate historical dramas with understated yet powerful emotional storytelling.

It had potential unfortunately.
I really enjoyed this series. Some aspects of repetition worked well but on the whole I felt there was too much repetition. Too much going back to their school days and reliving the exact same thing over and over. The love story was very nice, their chemistry was good.

The costumes are so pretty yet the story lacks depth.
