“Love Is Sweet” started off as a really “sweet” modern drama, but later got into darker and more mature topics such as law and bullying. This drama was very different from the modern dramas I usually watch, because I don’t usually like them in a business setting. “Love Is Sweet”, however, proved me wrong. You can enjoy a good drama no matter what it’s about.
The storyline was entertaining for me. Not only was there baffling plot twists, but there was also lots of humor. I also liked how the drama showed how strong women can be and how we can also being in business industries such as investment. After watching this drama, I only hope that there will be women as strong and as smart like Jiang Jun, in reality. Since she’s allergic to tears, the chance of her success in the industry was low, but that didn’t dampen her confidence and actually boosted her effort to keep going.
A good drama calls for a even better cast, and “Love Is Sweet” no doubt had one of the best casts I’d ever came across. Bai Lu was definitely the first person that came to my mind when I thought of Jiang Jun, and she suited the character perfectly. Such a talented actress like Bai Lu never disappoints me. This was the first time I’d seen Luo YunXi in a drama- and let me just say- for a somewhat newly debuted actor, his skills are basically in line with someone who’s been in the film industry for years. The way he suits every character he plays is extremely professional, and he does it so well! In fact, after watching “Love Is Sweet”, I ran over to “Ashes of Love”, and YunXi displayed the same amount of work ethic and talent that called for the very success of this drama. Apart from the main lead, however, the second leads were also amazing. The chemistry was totally insane in this drama, so kudos to the actors/actresses!
I really enjoyed this drama in general; good story, great cast, perfect OST, and a wonderful crew for making this all possible. I really recommend “Love Is Sweet” if you’re looking for one heck of a lovely modern drama!
