Love is Sweet

Watched a lot of Taiwanese dramas since young age so this one is not new to me. I came here after ChangYueJinMing to see their afterlives. It was sweet anyway and sometimes I felt like what the main actress BL said in her interview, that this life owed her a YuanSuai (male lead). I love how he loved her and helped her to grow stronger (but if I was the female lead I would also hate and run away from him haha). I dont like how the female character was built. She was depicted as a smart girl who was good enough to pass the last interview round into a famous bank but all she did in the drama was careless and stupid. I was so impressive with BaiLu's Li Su Su so I didn't like this character. Anyway, if you are into sweet love with not too many dramas or arguments, this one is for you.

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.

Best film ever. It reminds me what is love and also makes me believe in love more and more

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.

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 :-(
