Love is Sweet (2020)

Your friends turn lovers romance with good acting

Plot: A girl who is allergic to tears and a guy who tries to protect her in his own way. Childhood friends who part because of a misunderstanding meet again as colleagues. The ML is a top shot in Investment banking and the girl is a newbie with potential. When they meet again, the guy again tries to protect her in his own way while the girl has plans of her own. Along side, the FL has a really sweet friend who dotes on the FL so much (She takes care of her like a mum). She falls in love at first sight with a geek who knows nothing except algorithms.
The plot isn't heavy. It's based of tidbits of their everyday lives and how they fall in love while surviving the challenges of corporate lives. The story isn't slow or rushed and I find the plot well paced. There are no major misunderstandings or overuse of cliches. Also, there's a super lazy dog. All the side characters fit well in the plot and you don't feel like they didn't get enough screen time.
Acting: I was scarred by Leo in Ashes of love (amazing acting but the character wasn't my fave). So it took me a while to get used to his nice guy character. But he was adorable. Both him and Bai Lu have an amazing chemistry. I loved their acting. Bai Lu's character or acting wasn't the overly shy or soft type which was a breath of fresh air.
It has a business plot but isn't overused. It's basically a sweet gradual romance with great acting. One drawback was what they did to one of the side characters who was having a good character development. It would have been better if they wrapped it up at 30 eps and didn't have the fast forward by 2 years in the last 6 eps just to flaw the otherwise really good drama. But they did compensate by an adorable last episode.

Best modern romantic drama

This is one of the best cdramas I've ever watched. The chemistry between the leads was sizzling hot. The plot was enthralling and kept me hooked all the time. The production and cinematography were great too. The music was not my favorite but went well with the show.

Now to the characters.
They really broke all the stereotypes of cdrama leads with this show. Both the leads were rich and smart. FL was strong and smart(I WAS SO HAPPY BECAUSE CDRAMAS RARELY SHOW SUCH FL). The ML was genuinely kind and supportive of FL's dreams. They had a very healthy relationship and respected each other's personal space. All the other characters were also interesting and showed great character development as the show ended.
The actors did a great work portraying the roles.

The drama had just the right amount of angst. It also had tons of kissing scenes and romantic moments. The business parts were actually interesting and connected to the characters and story. I would 10/10 recommend this drama to modern romance drama lovers!!!

Great Chemistry, Strange Couples, Boring office storylines

I watched this for the chemistry between the leads, of which they had ample of.
I found myself bored to tears with the office storylines. Some of the decisions that the characters make (not just the leads) got me scratching my head.

I could without ep. 31-35. It had SO much potential to make the SML storyline great and I found myself angry for him. Did they have to do that to make the ML the only viable choice? The character development for the SML was so great...until it wasn't.

Anyways here are my thoughts:

Positives
Chemistry
Cute moments

Negatives
You really have to turn off your brain on some of the logic.
Boring office storylines

I found myself watching the last 7 episodes in 2x speed, just to finish it.

Sweet Love Story

Luo Yunxi & Bai Lu - what's not to love?! However, I did not watch this following their last collaboration (which I dropped because of the heavy angst). I love the pairing of these two actors. Their chemistry is off the charts, and they seem like they really enjoy collaborating! I digress.

The storyline was interesting and not so draggy that I got bored. I watched all the scenes with the ML & FL, and with most of the other characters. I felt a mixture of outrage, anger, disappointment, pity, sadness for their stories. I read somewhere that the director wanted the actors to 'overact' and they did even that well. I liked this series very much.

The one character that I did fast-forward through was the best friend, Xu Li. OMG talk about annoying! Silly! Ridiculous! If I had a best friend (or any friend) like her, I'd be a hermit! Her character was the one I liked least of all, and they could have done without. Give that cute Riley Wang's character Li Xiao Chuan a girl with sense! In fairness however, when an actor plays a part well, the audience reacts to that character, so give Xiao Yan kudos for her performance.

I would definitely rewatch this for the moments of comedy, tragedy, and so much sweet romance. The kisses and PDA were definitely worth it!

Chilhood friends to enemies to friends to lovers

- Story

The plot isn't nothing special and at the begining it is very boring. It took me 16 episodes to watch more than two or three episodes a day and I skipped a lot, but after episode 25 I couldn't stop watching and found it more interesting. Still, the plot isn't interesting but it is fine if you just want to watch something without a heavy plot.

- Acting/Cast

I think most of the people who already watched can agree that the main couple is enough reason to watch it, I agree too. The chemistry is amazing and the acting overall is good. I didn't like the second couple but I couldn't say their acting was bad, I just didn't enjoy their dynamic at all.

Bai Lu and Leo Yunxi played Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai so well! I don't have the words to describe how much I loved the characters, even though I used to geniunely hate Yuan Shuai at the begining and found Jiang Jun kind of boring, but they both grew on me and became one of my favorite cdrama couples. I hope we can see them acting together again

- Music

The music is nice! I have some of the songs stuck in my head now. They're very good.

- Rewatch value

I don't think I would rewatch it the whole drama, but I'd definitely rewatch some of their funny and cute moments because I already miss Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai.

Love is sweet..memang sweet banget

Belum pernah nonton modern drama se excited ini. Leo dan Bailu saling melengkapi aktingnya bikin baper. Dari yang kurang suka sama male lead gara² AOL sampe berubah jadi suka..Bailu selalu tidak mengecewakan buatku, aktingnya luar biasa...Even Du Lei sangat mengejutkan pada akhirnya, tapi wangcai selalu menggemaskan..Yang paling menarik adalah lamarannya, aku belum pernah liat adegan ini di drama lain..sangat menarik. Aku sampe join vip member iqiyi saking drama ini nagih bikin penasaran pengen nonton terus...In my opinion, Love is sweet is the best modern drama so far..Love Leo and Bailu..Belum bisa move on nih, pengen nonton lagi dan lagi...

So Sweet!

This drama I loved so much. It really was a wonderful watch. There was so much in it that made it brilliant, not just one or two things.
Every episode made me smile or laugh and occasionally there were those where you had to shed a tear or two.
It had a very unique storyline, yes it was a work place romance but it was so different because each character involved had their own strong qualities and life, not completely relying on the other.
Everything also developed nicely, they didn’t just rush into relationships making them unrealistic. The side relationships in the story were also just as great, and it was so nice to see more of them, usually in a series you hardly see the life of the other people and second relationships and always wonder what really happens.
There were also a lot of friendships and all the characters got along very well, the actors played their roles brilliantly and the chemistry between the characters was tangible and definitely seemed so real.
The relationship between the main two I definitely can’t get enough of, they are both stubborn and smart but love each other so much, it’s so entertaining to watch them.

I definitely recommend watching this for anyone who likes any type of romance, there was so much in the story that developed that it made it interesting and unique the whole way through. And the characters and their chemistry are really likeable, as well as the fact that there are multiple romances in this one drama. It’s very sweet and very cute, a must watch!

Love is sweet

Loved this drama.. its actually good and has everything from romance to relationship, from friendship to little bit of suspense. Its nice and exciting to watch.
I loved ML and FL they both are too good. Their chemistry is great and feels so natural. From looks to acting, from relationship to romance everything is perfect.
I really dont like story of SML and SFL. I really feel that was unnecessary. Even that story was excluded from drama it has not affected to show and main story.
There is love triangle in this story . But its not too draggy or unbearable to watch.
ML's secretary or whoever he was that character was actually good and entertaining.
Everything is good but i really felt there was actually no need to take leap in the story.i feel like It was not required and story can be continued without leap. As there was not much difference except for thier company, marrige of second lead. From episode 31 i.e. after leap it felt like its stretched unnecessarily but thanks its not too boring to watch.
Best part of this drama is main leads, their relationship, their romance, kisses and their acting.

If you want a light, well produced, explosive chemistry, without your usual weak FL and a lot of laughter, superb acting for all actor/actress, this drama have it all. Also our ML visual is OMG.

I would say there is not much plot/story line, watching this drama is as light as enjoyable as watching famous US sitcom “Friends”. OST is also light but well done. Perfect weekend watch to distress.

Both our ML & FL has good acting. My 1st time watching Lou Yunxi modern drama and I was so pleasantly surprised after watching his costume drama. Were these characters acted out by the same actor, the contrast is so unbelievable. Natural is the key world for his acting. I can compare him on par with my fav. US actress in famous comedy “Veep” Julia Louis Dreyfus who won 5 Emmy awards for Veep only. Watching Yuan Shuai reminds me of her in Veep, effortlessly natural acting. I want to see him more in Comedy drama.
