Doce é o Amor (2020)

Even Love's sweetness can't make up for all this mess

I need to preface this by saying that this is my second go at this drama. I started it months ago and dropped it, finding the premise of the story a bit far-fetched from the first episode.

Now, it seems almost every other person who responds to drama suggestions on Reddit or Facebook has to mention "Love is Sweet" as the best romance/ enemy to lovers/ green flags (you name it, it seems to have it). So I decided to give it a second chance especially since it has Bai Lu and she's one of my favorite Chinese actresses.

As I expected my girl did not disappoint and I was pleasantly surprised by Luo Yun Xi. He sold his character to me. If anything, I think I loved Yuan Shuai way more than I did Jiang Jun, despite his flaws. I'll even go as far as saying that I was pleasantly surprised by the way the drama was going up to episode 24 - 25ish... The romance was great and what you'd expect from people who went from old friends/ enemies (in her mind) to lovers. Once all the initial dust and introductions were done, I appreciated how they acknowledged that maybe they'd misunderstood the other all along and decided to start their relationship on a new foot, almost as proper friends. Sadly, that's where the good ends with this drama - for me.

The problematic parts of the drama occurred when too much screen time was given to things that didn't contribute anything to the general story. Or some characters were conveniently made to fit a certain purpose temporarily and when that was done, they went to the next "purpose"; for example, Du Lei aka SML, aka ML's loser archenemy, aka poor orphan who misreads FL's signals, aka reformed (?) cold-hearted bad guy, aka newfound friend, aka Mr "Oh nevermind he was an asshole after all"...

And don't get me started with that second couple... I gladly fast-forwarded through most of this mess (especially Du Lei, I couldn't stand him). I have a theory that maybe the writer gave up on the plot after episode 24ish and decided to just get things done no matter what, no matter how long it would take.

All in all, what I'm trying to say here isn't that you should skip the drama entirely. I think it had potential and was very enjoyable in parts but if you decide to give it a try just know that you're not getting a perfect package despite what you might read. The leads will make it worth your while if you can bear all the rest (and that's the hard part).

Extremely in love

I love this drama so much! After watching and the winner is love, I knew I had to watch Leo's new drama. It happen to be with one of my fave FL, Bai Lu. I love her acting. Please also watch her dramas, Arsenal Military Academy and The Legends with Xu Kai! They are must watch!

OSTs were superb, could've been better if it was in Mandarin as I'm an English speaker so some parts sounded weird to me. Love the acting and characters as well. One thing I was quite disappointed about was FL's love for the ML. I definitely needed more than what was given in the drama so that was the only bummer.

Chinese F.r.i.e.n.d.s. - best romcom of 2020

Story 9.0/10
Lovely and funny story with small flaws. I giggled a lot because of the unexpected twists. Sometimes the advertisment kill the mood, but all of them is forgivable. The main storyline is great, the other sidekick stories are less entertaining. There are some interesting 'out of the box' thoughts: girls with girls in the bar, older woman - younger guy pair. I have never seen these before in chinese series, it is fresh, new and brave. Thanks to the censors to not kill it. :)

Acting/ Cast 10/10
The two main lead is brilliant, they take this series into the high sky. Luo Yunxi is a brilliant actor - I always says :D - in this series he showed a kinda new face. Bai Lu was not know to me before, but she is awesome, very talented and this two together is a nuke. Everybody praising them, and they totally deserve it.
Gao Hanyu, the second lead get less possibility to show his talent here. He was great in the Flipped and in the FuYao, and when have to be a lover, a friend, a hearthbroken guy or a badass badboi he can showed himself.
The other cast is really good, Guan Zi Jing is perfect sidekick in every situation, Tao Si Yuan is scary and psicho. :) The big surprise is Ran Xu, he have got talent and charisma from the beginning, I hope he can have more opportunity in the future.
AND the doggo. Tangyuan take everything, If se is in the set she rule the screen. Princess <3

Music 7.0/10
Lovely music, good to listen. The big surprise is Gao Hanyu - Miracle. I did not know that he have got an awesome voice like this, to me this is the best one from the soundtrack. I liked Riley Wang - "Sometimes", and Blue Bird - 丁当(Della) songs too.

Rewatch Value 10/10
Anytime, when you need a lovely story. Romcom of 2020.

Overall 9.0/10
There are minor flaws, illogical storylines, too direct ads and sometimes the second leads are really boring. But worth to watch, or I should say: must watch, minimum once.

the kiss scenes are very satisfying

love is sweet was the drama I started watching because of riley wang. But when I started to watch this I fell in love with jiang jun and yuan shuai. The story line is good 👍and I like the most was this couple I want to call this couple comedian couple because there are literally lot of scene where you will laugh your heart out like in one scene when jiang jun kick yuanshuai off the bad and in the office when the jiang jun do the octopus🐙 dance. I like it very much. The ep 16 when yuan shuai was sick the most funny scene of luo yunxi for me. I have wath this drama 4 to 5 times now also I am not bored.

Simply Amazing from start to finish ?

I normally write my notes while watching because My Drama list requires so much info in order to post a review lol.
but from start to finish of Sweet Love I was captivated, my phone was down the entire time, and who doesn't love a happy ending.

The acting and chemistry between Luo and Bai lu is really award worthy no wonder they did so well in "Till the end of the moon,"

The story line just thought so well every episode was a hit. I think This is what the drama Only for love aspired to be.

definitely a beautiful drama that is worth watching.

Worth it - until the 2nd guy became crazy

Okay so first off I love this drama. I have finished all 36 episodes. The drama is unique since the female lead has an allergy with her own tears. I find it hard to cope up with that kind of allergy no matter how strong you are you tend to cry if things are not going really well. But thankfully the male lead is so understanding.

I honestly don't understand why there are people that doesn't like the male lead's character. To be honest, I like him so much, he's such an ideal guy. He is handsome, career person who takes up responsibility, a good cook, and he is loyal to just one girl. This is so rare in real life you can probably find a guy that has one or two of those characteristics mentioned. Anyway, I like him and I am looking forward for his future dramas.

* This contain spoilers for the last few episodes *
Going back, the story became awful when they have decided to make the 2nd guy insanely in love. I mean they are all good and the story actually jumped in to 2 years later. Obviously, the 2nd guy should know and understand that the female & male lead are in a serious relationship and he doesn't stand a chance. I don't understand why he thought that the female lead likes him more than a friend? It's crazy! He even tried to kiss the FL & ruined her career (for her to ask him for help). He even got mad because the FL didn't wore the watch he gave him instead wore the watch that her boyfriend gave her. Hello! Of course any girl would wear the watch that their boyfriend gave them.

I just don't understand why they have decided to ruin his character when everything was perfectly fine. They should have gave him a love line instead of ruining his kind character. Just like what they've did to Qiao Na.

Probably they just want some spice and it worked I got really pissed off when they ruined his character. He got a bad childhood and life too. They have just gave him a break. But am not the writer haha just my thoughts.

Nonetheless, I love how it ended. They have given us a proposal (even the failed ones are worth clipping), it's so cute when Yuan Shuai does the proposal several times and failed with it too. It makes me realize how much effort he is willing to give for Jiang Jun. I love it!

That's my review for Love is Sweet. I do hope that I can find my Yuan Shuai too hahaha but I am passed the childhood and the highschool edition. Work edition would be fine. HAHAHA!

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
