Love Is Sweet

Story 9.0/10 Lovely and funny story with small flaws. I giggled a lot because of the unexpected twists. Sometimes the advertisement kill the mood, but all of them is forgivable. The main story line is great, the other sidekick stories are less entertaining. There are some interesting 'out of the box' thoughts: girls with girls in the bar, older woman - younger guy pair. I have never seen these before in Chinese series, it is fresh, new and brave. Thanks to the censors to not kill it. 🙂 Acting/ Cast 10/10 The two main lead is brilliant, they take this series into the high sky. Luo Yunxi is a brilliant actor - I always says 😃 - in this series he showed a kinda new face. Bai Lu was not know to me before, but she is awesome, very talented and this two together is a nuke. Everybody praising them, and they totally deserve it. Gao Hanyu, the second lead get less possibility to show his talent here. He was great in the Flipped and in the FuYao, and when have to be a lover, a friend, a heartbroken guy or a badass badboi he can showed himself. The other cast is really good, Guan Zi Jing is perfect sidekick in every situation, Tao Si Yuan is scary and psycho. 🙂 The big surprise is Ran Xu, he have got talent and charisma from the beginning, I hope he can have more opportunity in the future. AND the doggo. Tangyuan take everything, If se is in the set she rule the screen. Princess ❤ Music 7.0/10 Lovely music, good to listen. The big surprise is Gao Hanyu - Miracle. I did not know that he have got an awesome voice like this, to me this is the best one from the soundtrack. I liked Riley Wang - "Sometimes", and Blue Bird - Della songs too. Rewatch Value 10/10 Anytime, when you need a lovely story. Rom-com of 2020. Overall 9.0/10 There are minor flaws, illogical story lines, too direct ads and sometimes the second leads are really boring. But worth to watch, or I should say: must watch, minimum once.

I am bailing on this series during episode 6. The reason is that the male lead has a habit of jerking the female lead around by the arm - hard! This is a show from 2020 and I can't believe this type of behavior of a man towards a woman is depicted in this way. The FL should have slapped him in the face and told him to go to h*ll*. But no, she just puts up with it. Gads!

Otherwise the story would have been interesting and fun (except for the stupid love triangle which most asian dramas have.) It is really too bad, but this verging-on-assault behavior by the ML is just super annoying.

By the way, the 2nd female lead, played I think by Xiao Yan is so beautiful - and cute and adorable, I wanted to watch the series just to see how it turned out for her! Too bad :-(

Omg what should I say about the series...I am speechless... it's best... guys believe me... it's too amazing....even if you watch thousand times you won't regret.

The best cdrama you can watch It was amazing and it deserves the time taken to be watched.

Unmissable... both Luo YUnxi and Bai lu hit this outta the park... and this from a viewer who has so far held the simplistic world of Cdrama as strictly avoidable. But have to give high praise to Love is sweet-- the dialogues, the situations and the characters are believable and very modern in approach, This is the first C-drama which does a great great job of providing universal content--characters and story which can be played out in New York, Madrid, New Delhi, Singapore or Seoul.

Love is sweet addresses the reason why C-dramas dont get the appeal of K-dramas -- because they don't speak a universal language. The characters played by the male lead and female lead bring that fresh air of being world citizens.

The story falters a tad in the second half-- could have done with some crisp editing, yet it stands miles above its contemporaries. The acting by Luo Yunxi is par excellence; he is simply the best actor I have watched so far in the Chinese entertainment industry. Bai Lu is a joy to watch. The stylization is apt though a bit repetitive for the world of investment banking, but it catches the spirit all right. The love story is unique as it has no evil parents, secretive past, vamps and misunderstandings. Whatever negativity is there gets resolved pretty quickly.

A sore point of reflection for the writer and director ( if they even read IMDB...they probably don't, but if they wish to get viewed across the world, reading IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes is the way to go), why do they have stories which have love affairs that start in school? Seems a little...umm.. creepy, iykwim...There is a reason why school time romances don't last into adulthood. And very frankly, I wouldn't want to be with the boys I saw playing booger handball-- some experiences cannot be lived down.

All in all, this show is a great watch.
