Sweeeeeeettttt



Story of a girl who paints portraits for the government and private clients, forced to swap her face with the prime minister's daughter to marry the general in her place. The plot is spot on .. zero BS .. story moves with a consistent pace unfurling every secret one after another without dragging too much. Ying ke and cheng lei did a good job ..their chemistry was sweet ... Actually it's Ying ke who would look cute irrespective of what role she plays whereas cheng lei is known to sport his gentleman's persona the best... Their pairing gave a real couple-like vibe .... nothing too steamy or flashy just organic romance between husband and wife anchoring you emotionally and deeply. Side cast added their fair share to the story as well.
The ending was satisfactory with a side twist nobody asked for, but overall the drama is very much enjoyable.

Watching cheng lei in such low production dramas tells you a lot about his journey as an artist... I am glad he is doing good budget and full length series as ML now.
