Actually I forgot to mention that the top spot for an iQiyi modern web drama is sit-com iPartment 5, but that drama has amassed a huge following since season 1 first aired on tv many years ago.
Official drama Weibo just announced the show's real time iQiyi popularity score has surpassed 8520 (520 is a homophone of I Love You in Chinese). It's the highest number for an iQiyi modern web drama - only 5 hugely popular modern shows that aired on television (hence larger audience base) have achieved higher popularity rankings. What a great way to end the show!
When Yuan Shuai and Du Lei were throwing punches at each other, the thing that really put me off Du Lei was him pushing Jiang Jun to the ground when she was trying to stop them from fighting. Imagine if in an alternate universe Du Lei actually got together with Jiang Jun - who's to say he wouldn't man handle or even hit Jiang Jun if they really fought and argued?
Du Lei acknowledged Jiang Jun is the sun to his jellyfish from the dark, however, a person's personality doesn't just change like a light switch, especially when he was raised in a suffocating environment like the Du household. Given the fact that he fired subordinates in the first ep after losing to Yuan Shuai, helped Wan Shan and used Jiang Jun during the sexual assault case and let Lin Taimo know about Yuan Shuai's parents' details, I don't think he's really changed at heart. Plus, after their mini victory at the bar in Eps 29/30, Du Lei was still pretty confident he had a chance with Jiang Jun (unlike us, he doesn't know how strong their bond is). This thought was further hammered into him 2 years later, especially since she accepted his watch (so what use is Jiang Jun's psychology degree then that she isn't aware of Du Lei's feelings?)
HOWEVER, even though I know what the writer is trying to do, the time jump and lack of detail about Du Lei's personality (and the amount of times he has likely lost to Yuan Shuai while fighting for clients) has made this very awkward...let's hope this problem is solved within 15 minutes in Ep 34!
As for our OTP, I must say I loved the scene where they were talking in bed in EP 33. SO NATURAL!
The OTP were so natural when they were sharing the sofa together, it really gave me ordinary couple vibes - best thing is the actors weren't awkward about it. About next week's scenes, Bai Lu said that even though there will be a misunderstanding, it's not the far-fetched or crazy type - YS and JJ aren't people to hold grudges without resolving them.
When I started this drama, I was sure I'd drop it because I never tend to finish C-dramas as they're too long…
She's an investment banking analyst who can pay 7000 yuan monthly rent for a high-end apartment, plus her dad used to own a noodle business - she's definitely not the typical "average income" heroine haha.
Finished watching the latest two episodes 13 & 14: 1. I love how Yuan Shuai lets Jiang Jun take on Ma Xiuran herself, and then jumps in to threaten him with "pretty pictures" - when has a rom-com ever let a female lead grow and learn by herself like that? 2. Yuan Shuai really treasures Jiang Jun and respects her as well - after sending her back to the apartment, he doesn't get hands on, and instead gets her best friend to come and take care of her.
Does anyone know how we could see the current iQiyi point of a drama? I read somewhere that there will be a season…
This is the link to the Chinese iQiyi site: https://www.iqiyi.com/v_wigb8hqn4c.html and popularity ranking can be seen on the bottom right section. Popularity is calculated on a real-time basis based on viewership, overlay comments and normal comments underneath the episodes, so it'll usually reach it's peak when the drama is airing (8-10pm CN time), and drop afterwards. To be honest, it's going to be pretty hard for a modern rom-com to reach 9k, as that's just not the local audience's favourite genre (as compared to Republican or period dramas). Love Is Sweet's 8k+ has already broken the record set by an iQiyi modern drama though - the previous record was held by My Mowgli Boy, which peaked at 7953.
The full OST is out! It's not often that an entire soundtrack album is this fitting for the drama and good quality as well. Search on Youtube for the following new additions: 1. Diamond Heart - By2 (the song that plays at the end of episodes, before the ending theme) 2. A Love Song For You - Rio Wang (when Jiang Jun makes the heart finger sign to Yuan Shuai) 3. Come Back My Love - Ariel Ann (when Jiang Jun is reminiscing about her father) 4. Miracle - Gao Hanyu (unfortunately for him, this song plays during some of the OTP's sweetest moments >_<) 5. Say Yes - Roada Xu 6. Sometimes - Riley Wang Yilun (the song that plays in the adorable Ep18 preview) 7. Love Is... - Lian Huaiwei & Peng Yaqi (what would it take for Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu to sing this duet....)
My favourites: Della Ding's Bluebird, Sometimes, Come Back My Love
Love Li Qin as the badass female warrior who actually has brains. She's a bit impulsive (esp. when facing off with Lu Yuan), but as long as the writers don't dumb her down like they did with Princess Silver's FL, I can deal with it.

This is my fave scene of him singing in Canto (32:23 mark): https://youtu.be/Skmhjh8y5VE?t=1943
