FINALLY a drama that I was stoked about and didn't let me down. Love is Sweet is hands down the best modern C-drama I have watched till date. From end to finish, it kept me hooked and I managed to stay invested in a currently airing drama. This drama has its shortcomings but makes for a very entertaining romance drama. It retains the light and comedic moments throughout and the romance made me swoon in all the episodes.

PLOT + CHARACTERS:
The plot was very interesting to me. Most dramas revolve around childhood lovers with tragedy. Here it had to do with misunderstandings and giving your old friend/ lover another chance. There were times this drama was too cool and other times when it was laughable. Our ML is an all-round perfect guy and the best dramaland boyfriend that can exist. Yuan Shuai is good at everything and loves selflessly. There were times he needed to grow and that is where this drama both hit and didn't hit the mark. However our leads have a very natural chemistry and remain somewhat stable after getting together which is the highlight of the drama. The supporting cast was good but I'd like to mention Qiao Na here specifically who started off as a jealous 2nd FL but grows and becomes one of the best characters. In fact there were times when the FL was not that fun because she was a basic girl. However, I like the fact that she wanted to make herself into a successful person and worked hard.

ACTING:
Leo Luo takes the spotlight here. He was immensely charming, good-looking and displayed the emotions quite right. He has been deserving of being a ML for a while and I am glad to see him shine here finally. Bai Lu was cute as usual and I loved her chemistry with Leo. It kind of made me forget her chemistry with Xu Kai lol. Rest of the cast was alright but Riley wasn't that great. It's my first time seeing Kido Gao here and he was okay but maybe not the best.

ROMANCE:
Watch this drama for romance! The stares, holding hands, kisses - lots and LOTS of them gave me butterflies in the stomach. I have not seen such great skinship and natural interactions between the leads in a modern C-drama. It was awesome and raised the bar for other dramas for me. Everything from the first meeting to the "first time"- everything was downright perfect.

OST:
It was a nice OST and the songs blended well with the mood of the drama.

REWATCH:
Very much rewatchable. The leads are legendary for me. <3

OVERALL:
Don't let the corporate side or the silly "disability" of the heroine put you off. This drama is a modern romance gem and I don't think any other drama will live up to it for a while. I had a few issues with certain side characters or sub-plots but all was forgettable because the good and funny parts are THAT good. The comedy was a main factor and that helped the drama retain its light mood till the end. I highly recommend this drama and this is coming from someone who is very choosy and critical of romance dramas in general.

Hope you give this drama a chance.
