Tai Chi is great for cinematic martial arts
Sweet Tai Chi had some good things going for it but also some things that dragged it down a bit. Overall, the show is worth a watch if you think you might be interested in the premise. The Tai chi moves flowed well and made the action fun to watch and the cute Piao Piao's interactions with the stoic Wei Chu made for an adorable couple to watch.
The action portion of the show visually looked great, tai Chi makes for a great cinematic martial arts style. I would not have complained if they had added more of it to the show. All the actors did a good job in these scenes and the choreography was excellent. The camera/editing work was also well done and did them justice.
The acting was for the most part good and passable with a few exceptions. Most notably (and most importantly) the main actors all did a great job with their roles. I enjoyed the way Krystal Zhang handled her character and wanted to take note of that. However, some of the supporting cast felt like they did not deserve to be more than extras and this dragged the overall casting down a bit.
The Story had several spots that may not sit well with some viewers. Rather than giving spoilers and going into detail on the show, I will just say some of the best moments were in the ending credits. Like a lot of shows, they have bloopers in the credits and these were great for me. They really made me think that Bi Wen Jun and Sun Qian would be fun people to hang out with. However, this is obviously not where you want your best moments. That is not to say the show does not have some good moments. I thought the interactions of the main leads (especially early on) were adorable and memorable.
While I do think Sweet Tai Chi has its moments, I would personally not watch it again unless asked. It may be worth checking out though if you think you might be interested in the premise of the show. I did waver a bit on rating this a 7.5 or a 7, my choice ultimately came down to one scene in the show that felt too cliche. If the same boring Cdrama tropes do not bother you as much maybe consider my rating a little higher.
