SUPER LOVELY
This drama is fantastic, just as everyone has stated, LYX and BL nailed it. I am smitten with the couple and their chemistry ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Story-10/10
This was a well-written drama with a sweet, strong beginning and a wonderful conclusion. You'll have a good time watching this light, lovely drama that will make you smile and giggle most of the time. It's true, ayee!
In terms of acting/casting, I give it a 10/10.
Their chemistry is just perfect for one another. Most of the time, I thought that they were a real couple, haha. I would give them a 100/10.
Music-9.5/10
It was good, a nice melody and sounded sweet catchy, but it was a little repetitive at times. In spite of that, I'm okay with it
I would rate this rewatch as a 10/10
I'm watching this for the second time and can't seem to move on haha.. There is something really special about this concept❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wish I could watch their drama again in 2024, or at some point in the future, as I would really enjoy it.
You cannot deny that there is nothing sweeter than love.

**TBH BEST MODERN DRAMA THAT AIRED THIS YEAR!!**
Story/Plot - 10:+ Does not drag you much even though it's 36 episodes it is fast-paced, unlike other modern business dramas.
+ Gives a fast back story of when they were in high school which was nice to see how their relationship back then.
+ YUAN SHUAI AND JIANG JUN’S CHEMISTRY MAKES YOU HEART FLUTTER AND WANT TO BE IN JIANG JUN’S SHOES ?
+ Plot is interesting and keeps you on your toes wanting more and more.
+ It is pretty cliche but it doesn’t stop you from watching the drama.
+ The comedy in this drama is just so great, I could watch those scenes daily and I would never get bored.
- The only drag through the drama is Xu Li and Li Xiaochuan’s romance mostly at the beginning.
(Spoiler Alert! - Episode 21 is complete sugar tho AHHH IT’S SO GOOD)
Acting/Cast - 100:
+ ALL THE ACTORS ACT AMAZINGLY WELL EVEN THO ITS A CLICHE TYPE OF ROMANCE BUT STILL, THE ACTORS CHEMISTRY IS HIGH IN THE SKY
+ Let me just say that the cast for this drama is just amazing we have Luo Yunxi who is just eye candy.
+ Bai Lu shows a great representation of a strong female lead and shows a good role model to other women to be strong and independent, not dependent on a guy
+ Luo Yunxi fits his role as an ED as he shows 2 sides of his character representation (a serious business guy side + a sweet and funny romantic guy) which I loved while watching it.
+ As seen in the bts, Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi get along well with each other which is the main basis of a quality drama.
+ Wangcai... how could we forget such an amazing actor tho... my favourite character AH
Music - 10:
+ chosen well to fit with the different scenes happening at the time
+ Majority of the songs are in English which kind of made me confused when I first watched it but it means you can sing along with the songs
+ My favourite song from the OST playlist is 爱是 (Love Is) ever since I saw a video (I’m pretty sure it was from the fan meeting, not sure tho) Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi sang the chorus it was such a sweet moment :))
(Btw the songs are on Spotify right now!! Just look up Love is Sweet OST and you will be able to find the songs from the drama)
Rewatch Value 10:
While waiting for new episodes to come out during when it was airing, I had already rewatched half the drama again haha but, when it finishes, I will rewatch this drama again especially the sweet scenes (my faves tho). But it depends on how you feel when you watch it first.
Overall 10:
+ Great drama
+ Amazing storyline
+ Best cast there is in any other modern drama
+ EYE CANDIES OKK?! they're all super hot and that's all u need to know :))
WATCH THIS DRAMA OR WANGCAI WILL COME AND STEAL ALL YOUR SOCKS :)

one of the best dramas in my list
The best series I've watched so far, this drama satisfied me even more than "Centimeter of Love"I love about the office politics & business intrigues and all the character are well played by the actors
and I always love drama without stupid break up
I'm okay with bitchy SFL or evil SML, but i don't really fond of stupid break up nor infidelity
That's why I gave full 10 for this show
I started to love Bai Lu since this drama and decided to follow every modern drama with her as the main role
but on the other hand, i regretfully sorry for Gao Han Yu that because his great role here made me hate him so so much and never watched any dramas with him

Didn't hold my attention
Ok, so this drama was very interesting in the first few episodes but by episode 6 I was bored. It focused too much on the business side of things and I didn't love those scenes. I skip through all of them.The second couple was also annoying and I skip through their scenes too. The plot picked up after about 15 episodes but by then I have already given up on this series.
The main couple was the reason that I finish this drama. The chemistry was out of this world and the kiss scenes give me butterflies.
Overall, the drama was good enough to finish but not enough to rewatch.

super sweet story
its a great fluff romance if you're looking for one, the plot is okay, pretty typical and the FL has an "allergy" to tears so its a bit unique and unrealistic but overall, i really did like the story. the chemistry is off the charts but you hafta watch about thru about one-third of the way to get to the romantic scenes. i'm currently at ep 28 so i don't know the ending yet.the acting is amazing, the actors/actresses were all very realistic and i enjoyed pretty much all the episodes. some of the scenes were so hilarious though and i laughed so much. the second ML is kinda pitiful tho and i skipped a lot of the xu li/xiao chuan (other couple) scenes bcuz i loved the main couple so much. a lot of the music was in sung in English and although i really liked the songs, the grammatical errors really annoyed me. still liked the songs tho.
very enjoyable drama and would rewatch if i was feeling it. kinda reminds of go go squid, another romantic comedy

How to feel single
LOVELY, LOVELY AND LOVELY!I really love the leads, they have an amazing chemistry and look beautiful together! The soundtrack is really endearing, i looked for it as soon as the ep finished! There' s sweetness and sass and it's really entertaining.
I think this could be a MUST WATCH because everything is on point. There's the craziness of the rival, and the cuteness of the 2 couple that i adore.
Her friend is so fluffy and caring that even when she appears silly it's funny!
It will end in My rewatch list for sure

I had high expectations for this drama because my fave Leo Luo is in it, but sadly it didn't live up to them, though no fault of his. Leo Luo Yun Xi and Bai Lu have sizzling chemistry as Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai, childhood friends turned rivals due to a misunderstanding. The boardroom drama at the first half of the show was amazing, especially when the FML tries to battle investment experts as a fresh-faced rookie. Even after a few setbacks, Jiang Jun's determination finally won her a permanent seat in the investment company she works in, with her friend-turned-rival as her boss. Meanwhile, Yuan Shuai attempts to worm his way back into her life after harboring a decade-long crush and Jiang Jun mistakes those gestures as an attempt to throw her off her game. She gets the unlikely help from Du Lei, an industry expert from a rival company, who may or may not harbor more ulterior motives.
The main story-line is what made me finish this drama, while the secondary couple was forcibly thrown together and their chemistry is non-existent. Xu Li was ingratiating that I had to skip a lot of her scenes together with Xiao Chuan. As for the rest of the supporting characters, I feel that they were handled poorly. For example, Qiao Na could be an evil bitch but she wasn't. Shen Xin and Linda I believe were forgiven too quickly for my liking, despite having inflicted harm on other people. Same goes with Du Lei, his narrative weaved from bad to good to bad to good as if the writers didn't not know what to do with him. Even Tai Mo, who was supposed to be this big villain, was underutilized, and his defeat came too easily. The 36 episode length did not accommodate the possibilities, and instead, the last 6 episodes were unnecessary.

Best ML Ever
Had to write a review because of the male lead <3 I gotta give a special shoutout to my boi Yuan Shuai. He's not your typical cold-hearted male lead, this guy's got character. I don't want to spoil the show, so please watch and judge for yourself! I would argue that this is one of the best modern C-romance dramas of 2020!Story:
If you're looking for a drama with a unique storyline, then this drama may not be for you. This drama follows many typical Asian drama tropes including the childhood-turned lovers' trope. However, this show executes these tropes well with a modern and fresh spin so that the story does not feel too draggy.
As many of the reviewers and commentators have mentioned, the first 30 episodes are hands-down fun and fast-paced without dragging on unnecessary misunderstandings. The last 6 episodes did feel unnecessary especially with how they dealt with the second male lead's character development. They should have either extended the show by a couple of episodes to flesh out the male lead's development or just cut down a couple of episodes to just wrap up the romance storyline. I did enjoy the last few episodes of fluff, so I would recommend just fast-forwarding the unnecessary angst in the last few episodes.
Romance:
Hands-down, best C-drama couple ever! The chemistry between the two leads is on FIRE. I haven't been invested in dramas this year until this show. Both leads' acting is on point -- their acting and chemistry feel so natural. I've watched quite a few Chinese romance dramas and often had to drop or fast-forward due to unnecessary misunderstandings, the dumbing down of female leads, or that the male leads are too abusive to my taste. None of this happens in this drama -- the main couple was both rational and mature about their decisions. Though not the most progressive, this show is truly a modern drama in the context of Chinese society -- a step in the right direction. The female lead stays headstrong and smart throughout the entire series, something that isn't common in Chinese/K-dramas.
I honestly didn't care much about the second leads. I liked them separately with the main leads, just not together. However, they didn't detract too much from the show.
Music:
The music was alright. Some of the English songs were distracting during important scenes, but this isn't that big of a deal.
Rewatch:
I usually don't like rewatching shows, but can totally see myself rewatching this show on a rainy day.
I highly encourage you to give this show a try -- it's super easy to binge!

Such a sweet love story
First thing that crossed my mind while watching this drama is that the main leads are so well matched.The name Love is Sweet totally justifies the entire story. Such a sweet romance it was. Specially the initiation of the story based on the fact that they were childhood friends who were always fighting one another makes the story more interesting. I have seen that sometimes guys having a crush on you will bully you leaving no extent to the fact that you will start hating them.But actually after a few years you will realise that he was actually protecting you from others. Its a weird way of clamining you to be his. This drama is based on that exact idea. Even when they grow old their constant bickering makes the romance even more real.Each and every actor and actresses were so great. I will highly recommend this drama for romance loving drama lovers.Was this review helpful to you?

Binge-worthy modern romance that has sizzling chemistry
Love is Sweet is one of the fastest cdrama binge I've done - 2.5 days.What I liked:
1) Romance - Chemistry between Bai Lu & Luo Yunxi seemed effortless & fit their characters & banter. Their kisses are so damn hot and passionate especially that neck kiss.
2) Jiang Jun characterisation - Bai Lu really shined in this role. Jiang Jun is smart, capable and I love her go-getter attitude.
3) Love triangle - I liked Du Lei more than Yuan Shuai as a romantic interest. However writer never really gave him a chance and I don't know why writer tainted Du Lei after he became Jun's supervisor. Disappointed Du Lei became douchebag towards the end.
4) Visuals & fashion - I liked Gao Hanyu's visual more because he reminds me of Wi Hajoon. Bai Lu so pretty and wore beautiful clothes. I love Jun's tan coat!
What I disliked:
1) Second couple - I disliked 2nd lead couple very much. Xu Li is manipulative & childish. Xiao Chuan is bland.
2) Yuan Shuai at the start. He was a jerk for sabotaging Jiang Jun's job interview.
3) Cooking scene - It's unbelievable that a guy could wear a full suit & apron when cooking in kitchen. How could he stand the heat?
Favourite scene:
Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai's kiss in his office. Hot then funny. I love how Jun rolled off the desk!
