Love Is Sweet (2020)

36 hours that I do not regret :D

I rarely finish cdramas because they are super long and tend to drag from its original plot, but Love is Sweet does an amazing job of keeping the plot on track. Every actor is excellent (none of them are annoying) and the chemistry between the main leads makes my heart throb. I think they have the best chemistry out of every drama couple I’ve seen. I screamed so many times from funny, sweet, sad, and happy moments. There is a perfect mix of realistic struggles and heart fluttering romantic moments.

This drama is pretty lighthearted so if you are looking for something that is really deep and profound, that’s not this drama. If you’re looking for something fun and just enjoyable, I 100% recommend. The production value is so aesthetically pleasing, the dogs are adorable, and the OSTs are also so so good. This is definitely my favorite cdrama of the year, go watch!!!

The chemistry is really good

I am a big fan of Bai Lu and a bigger fan of Kai Lu Romance so when I had a chance to watch this one I was thinking it would be like ”lucky’s first love” where the chemistry wasn't all there but It was enough... But after watching this.. You really can't get enough of the FL/ML connection.. They had great chemistry together and like any typical romcom.. There were sweet and funny moments throughout. I was thinking of reading the book but towards the end of the story, it started to falter.. Don't get me wrong I would still skip to watch the Main characters moments.. After a while it still made sense. It could have been shorter but as all Chinese stories.. Keep dragging it out.. Overall it was a must watch at least for the main characters.. The side characters did pay their dues and did the story proud but again it could have been shorter.

Please don’t drop this drama!!!

Got to know Leo Luo when he acted in the drama ashes of love. Actually have watched dramas acted by the main casts of the drama so it I know the acting will definitely not disappoint.

The chemistry between the leads was superb, and yes I must say that the kids scene is really not those typical c-drama kids scene where the lips just touch. They’ve got some action going on *winks* definitely love their interaction on and off screen!!

Kido Gao’s acting really wowed me, I was so into his role and drew the character so well!

Although I did skip some parts of Riley and Shane, but I was just so into the main story!! The drama really shows how much Yuan Shuai loves Jiang Jun, although much like typical c-drama plot, but you can never get enough of it!!

PS. I definitely love wang cai the corgi! Too adorable!

Cotton Candy Drama - Fluffy and Sweet

Yes the plot is fluffy and forced at times...but the leads poured on the sugar and made this drama so sweet.

I must admit, I watched this for LY after watching him in Ashes of Love. It was just what I needed to cleanse the bitterness from watching RY's character being run into the ground in AoL. And, to my surprise, BL as the FL did not disappoint, helping to cleanse the sourness of YZ's performance in AoL.

Sweet Things
- Watching LY in a light-hearted role (compared to AoL)
- LY and BL were cute as a couple
- Strong FL character (not sickeningly helpless)
- Music was good and fit really well with the scenes

Bland Things
- Last 5 episodes were unnecessary (didn't like how they made the 2nd ML more immoral due to his obsession w/ FL)
- 2nd couple romance was unnecessary

The short and sweet of it is: If you like realistic dramas, this is not for you. If you are ok with fluff and want to just enjoy a light-hearted, comedic romance, then give this a try.

Looking forward to watching BL/LY in Till the End of the Moon and LY in Immortality!

WANT TO LEARN ABOUT FRIENDSHIPS, RELATIONSHIPS MANY MORE? MUST WATCH THIS!

OKAY! So this is my very first review and I actually finished watching it last month and I just tried to write a review about this CDRAMA because I just can't help myself but to share my feelings while watching it.

I don't know where to begin but I will say that I really love the casts lol. Honestly I thought I wouldn't like this at first because knowing that the FL and ML are both childhood friends, you know that kind of relationship is a bit cliché , but I was WRONG! haha I just found myself wanting more every episode of this drama.

*Characters & Story*
The first time I saw Du Lei, honestly I was shocked with his visuals, he looks like someone who came straight out of Anime. But I really love this drama of course because of the ML, Leo Luo haha I was surprised that he really looks like Ji Chang Wook (that's my opinion tho~ ^-^ v) When he smile ~ okay I can't help but smile too. I really love the part when he started do some aegyo HAHAHA so cute. I love how Bai Lu, portrays Jiang Jun's character. It was my first time to watch them in a drama but I was amaze already to their acting skills. I never felt the cringe-feeling when they are acting cute to each other.
I was just felt bad to Xu Li's character, a girl who chases his crush, who only wants to do is to focus on his project. Though I can relate to Li Xiao Chuan as I am an IT student, if you're working on a project all you have to do is focus on it to finish. (really guys it's hard to be in a relationship if you're an IT/CS student. idk but well kudos to those people who can still manage their relationship & studies HAHA.) LXC is kind of person who really don't like to share what's on his mind. He has many things on his mind but can't express it well (love his character, it's really realistic HAHAHA)

Well the character I pity the most is Du Lei TT TT. I mean why did they choose to turn him like that. I thought they will be friends but then *that* scene came. WUUAA I feel bad to Jiang Jun.
But well all I wanted to say is, I really love how realistic they mindset is, how Yuan Shai protects Jiang Jun at all cost. uwu I wanted to have a boyfriends like HAHAHA (ok not to be more delulu, even just his personality, that's enough TT^TT ) He sacrifice a lot for Jiang Jun, imagine those 10 years of waiting. OMG. To how he understand and respect each others decisions. Tho~ it's really hard to decide and manage your career, relationship and health, good thing they both handled it very well by trusting each other. What I love the most in this drama is they prioritize to trust each other, although they doubt at first but manage their feelings and emotions professionally. (coz you know most of the dramas we watch is full of doubts, mistrust, miscommunication and so on..) I know it's just a fiction drama but it teaches us some lessons. Idk if you feel it the way how I feel it while watching this haha. We have different opinions so I don't force you to agree with me. I hope you respect my review.

*OST*
YOW! THIS DRAMA HAS THE BEST OST FOR ME. HAHA I MEAN AMONG THOSE CDRAMAs I'VE WATCHED 'LOVE IS SWEET's OST WAS THE BEST. It fits really well to their story.

Chemistry of main couple went beyond limit <3 (2nd time watching)

I've finished watching this last year and came here to leave a review after i've finished watching it for the 2nd time this year. I have nothing more to say but dozens of compliments. The chemistry of Luo yunxi and Bai lu is just so top-notch. I'm a huge fan of Bai lu and not much of luo yunxi (the only drama i knew and watched from him is when he played evil 2nd ml on ashes of love) and at first the news about this drama didn't excite me much plus i didn't have any expectations then (because i love xu kai and bai lu, literally big fan of both their dramas arsenal academy and the legends), to my surprise though I instantly fell inlove with luo yunxi and how good of an actor he is, he was so into character and when romantic scenes between him and bai lu flashes on the screen, I just couldn't help but be awed at how both their actings compliment one another, they have overflowing chemistry and it felt as if they were a real couple tbh :>. Apart from the chemistry of main lead couple, i really love the storyline, although some may find some scenes quite cliche or rather old romance thing, I still love everything about the storyline of this drama, no scenes were draggy and definitely love how both main lead couple didn't go give me a big headache cause of a misunderstanding unlike other romance dramas. The only thing i didn't really like about this drama was the second lead couple, wasn't really a fan of their romance scenes during the first few parts of the episodes as it was quite annoying but luckily in the end the second coupled managed to pull through --- rather become less annoying for me. Overall, it's such a nice drama, love everything about it and especially so much love for the actors and whole crew for doing amazing job!! I hope luo yunxi and bai lu could work on another drama together, the two of them are just so great together! I honestly love their pairing more than xukai and bailu now. #MANIFESTINGNEWDRAMAFORPOWERCOUPLE<3

Definitely one of the best C-Dramas of 2020

So, I just finished all the drama yesterday and I'm in love with the drama. Like I'm constantly re-watching the episode clips on YouTube. YS is just so sweet that you might even get diabetes from watching him. And don't even get me started on their chemistry. Leo Yunxi and Bai Lu just have so much chemistry that it would make you 😩.

So, below I'll list what I liked about this drama and what I didn't.

Pros:-

1. The lead couple have so much chemistry together that you wouldn't be able to stop yourself from loving them together.

2. The OST was so damn good. I am listening to it on the loop since I finished watching the drama. I think maybe this is the first time I liked the whole OST of a drama instead of a single one. But yeah I do have a favourite song and no points for guessing that it is Things I Do for Love.

3. No long separation or break ups. I definitely was tired of watching the leads in C-Dramas seperating for years just because of some stupid misunderstandings. They do break up for a episode or two but they get back together almost instantly. There is almost no time gap in between their break up and patch up.

4. Almost non-existent love triangle. Our FL had never shown any interest in SML. Like never ever. It was completely one sided.

5. Realistic couple. The main couple were so realistic. Like their relationship wasn't exaggerated for a single bit. The drama showed a true realistic couple in my opinion.

6. Career or Love. The drama showed that we don't have to sacrifice our careers for love. And I loved how our ML supported FL in her career. He never asked her to choose between him or her career. Yeah, he did suggest that she resigned but it was only because he cared for her health. But in the end he understood that she very much loved her job so, he supported her every decision. JJ had both a successful career and a very supportive partner.

7. The SFL. I first thought that like in most of the C-Dramas, the SFL here was also going to be an obsessive lover. But I loved how she never jeopardized our main couple's relationship. She liked our ML but she also understood that he never had any feelings for her. So she never comes between the main couple.

8. Wan Shai. Who was the most adorable character of this drama? Without any doubt it was their dog, Wan Shai. I freaking love her so much that I had to make a seperate point for her.

9. Lifelong crush. I loved how YS waited for JJ for so long. It was like he knew that fate would bring them together again. Well, I don't know about everyone else but I definitely loved YS's devotion towards JJ. He continued to love her even when he had no idea if they would meet again. And I also love the flashbacks from their highschool and elementary school.

Cons:-

1. The SML's obsession with FL. He was literally obsessed with JS. It was scary watching him being so obsessed with a woman who had never showed any interest in him. I never had any Second lead syndrome while watching this drama. I didn't like him from the start and I despised him in the end. His character was the worst character in this drama in my opinion.

2. The second couple's story in the last 6 episodes. I didn't exactly love the second couple's storyline but in the last 6 episodes it was not even watchable. Before the last 6 episodes I atleast didn't skip their scenes but in the last 6 episodes their scenes were illogical and you wouldn't feel bad for skipping them.

3. The 2 years time gap. The time gap didn't make any sense to me. It wasn't exactly bad but they could've shown us some flashbacks for the skipped 2 years.

4. The lack of YS's family. I wanted to see JJ meeting YS's family for the first time. The lack of YS's family presence was something which disappointed me. Like they showed us the bonding between YS and JJ's mother but there was no interaction between JJ and YS's family.



Well, that's all I could think about right now. But I can guarantee that you wouldn't regret watching this drama. And if you're single like me then you'd definitely feel the lack of a partner more than ever after watching this drama 😩.

If you are looking for a sweet rom-com then you can definitely give it a go.

Love is sweet and slightly naughty

This has been in my watchlist for so long. Now that I've finally finished it I can say that it might have been slightly overrated but I'd still recommend it for the steamy kiss scenes, strong FL, dreamy ML, and a fluffy story of success in both love and career.

The ML bullies the FL to make her mentally strong, so she will not cry easily in the future and trigger her tear allergies, this is his way of protecting her. He has been crushing on her for 10 years but she was oblivious and thinks he was just mean. After seeing that he is not a 'bad wolf' in the investment industry, she began to have feelings for him. When they got together, their love is truly sweet with lots and lots of kisses, and naughty times (especially in the office 😉).

Another thing that I liked was that the SFL was very relatable. She can be jealous but she was not evil. One of my favorite scenes was when she caught the main CP in one of their moments and they had to pretend to be cleaning.

Just for the SFL and chemistry of the main CP, I really wanted to give this a perfect score but sadly I can't because the tropes used felt contrived and manipulative. Maybe I am just not a fan of the idea that when you like someone, you can make decisions for their life for 'their own good' without their consent and characters in this drama does this a lot. There was also forced cohabitation and while this definitely drew the leads closer, drama conveniently forgot that the ML rented an apartment that he just kept empty. Also, when the issue about the FL's father's death was resolved, the vibe in the series changed and the next few episodes felt like fillers, an afterthought arc for the SML and mostly PDAs of the main CP. Frankly, I was like 'i know your relationship is good, get married already!'.

I actually felt kind of bad for the actor who played the SML because his character was just there for convenience. Need to increase the tension of the main CP through jealousy? Enter the hottie but bad SML. Need a villain who will sabotage the main CP's jobs? Enter the bad and sneaky SML. Need a helpmate for a ML to resolve the FL's trauma? Enter the reformed SML. Need to prove the relationship strength of the main CP for the filler episodes? Enter the jealous SML who became bad again! He reformed again but his ending felt lackluster. He was really not developed properly and there's no real development with his loveline with FL either. It was quite hard for me to accept that he loved the FL so much because their interactions were so few and not really that meaningful. His angst was not fully explored. It would have been much better if there were tropey scenes like the FL and the SML going to important places in the SML's childhood, or just anything that actually showed the FL helping the SML with his resentments.

The second CP also did not help this series as their interactions were boring and had no chemistry. You have to believe they're in love just because of some lighting changes and because they said so. Again I felt like the girl was forcing the guy to like her by doing all kinds of nice bordering on masochistic things for him. If I will rewatch this, I'll skip their scenes and just focus on the main CP.

Overall, this is a good watch if you have time to spare and want to see an adult relationship realistically portrayed.
