I did, however, had a few problems with this drama, which is why I would only recommend this when you're not going to take this seriously or expect more for a romcom. The problems mostly lie on the themes featured, like how weird it targets on marriage so keenly and how pushy the male leads are at times (I personally only liked Xia Ge. I have my qualms with Chu Nan and He Yu). The female leads are charming and badass--I liked all of them, which is why I'm a bit dismayed with how they're sometimes treated by the other people and the men in their lives.
With all of that said, watch this with a grain of salt and some patience. I enjoyed it for what it promised, ignored the other problematic elements and overall had a great time.

I mean when they kissed, they really seemed like a real couple. And the FL doesn’t cry on a little thing.
She’s pretty smart!
The thing I didn’t like... Hmm... That’s pretty hard....
I don’t think that I even have a dislike point!
But the relationship between the sister and his boyfriend was pretty complicated. But I mean, this is a drama. I skipped some of their scenes.
Definitely gonna rewatch this after some time!

Half half
It is a very predictable love storyOf 3 pairs
Loved it till 13-14ep...
Maybe due to high expectation I didn't like the second half as the first. I wanted more .. or I Missed something....
Else it is 10/10.
Spoiler.................
The love of 2fl that is ML's friend towards the ml was not really love but a kind of admiration according to me ... They should have done some thing about this.. even though I understand I missed the explanation in drama

In addition, a fan of Xing Zhao Lin should not miss this drama because his character is here is very strong. The second actor of this drama is no less interesting. In fact, from the start I was actually more interested in the second cast. :D

I was on a thriller drama marathon for a full week and i eventually got tired of watching dramas for awhile. While i was on youtube watching random short videos, i came upon the trailer for this drama and i knew it i had to give this a try.
For starters, this drama was really really easy to watch, not much dramatic “dramas” and the focus was mainly on the couple. I love it so much because the plot wasn’t too draggy and i get to binge-watch my favourite couple scenes w/o skipping the drama too much.
The actors. Damn, xing zhao lin is hot af. I read that he was a trainee in exo previously and that explains why his visual is top notch because all guys at SM are GODS. I have watched his previous dramas such as eternal love and i swear you guys need to give this guy a chance. His acting skills are improving a lot from dramas to dramas. Bailu, on the other hand, was freaking cute in the drama OH MY GOD. I love her smile and I unconsciously smile whenever i see her smiling at xing zhao lin LOL. She is such a cutie furball!!!!
Okay enough of my review, just go watch the god-damn drama lol.

Takes a bit to get going, but goes great from there
Let me be sentimental for a sec: This was my first Chinese drama, y’all! It’s been over two years and at long last, I’m getting around to reviewing it. Oops.I remember enough though, sp here goes.
Like the headline says, it takes several episodes to really find it’s groove. The first seven-ish feel more like set up, which does feel kind of necessary with the title being what it is and so heartbreak is a must for the beginning. Our leads don’t really get to shine together until later, but when they do it’s pretty great.
I will also admit to being a little blindsided because during the setup of the series, the vibe between Xing Yun and Xia Ke was very different than what it was after. Maybe I’m remembering incorrectly, but there was a definite shift in attitude.
But, I loved the office dynamic, loved the Xing Yun’s work bestie (work bestie’s outfits are literal goals. For me anyway.) There’s the stupid misunderstandings and the typical breakup around ep. 19 or so, but thankfully it doesn’t last too long.
This drama will always be nostalgic for me and I hope to watch it again soon. Maybe when my watchlist is a little smaller. Either way, a good fluffy sort of watch with angst sprinkled in for funzies.

Fluffy love story with electrifying chemistry of leads
Cute love story with some sweet moments that make you laugh out loud.Strong point-
ML and FML Leads-
ML and FML look so convincingly in love that you can picture them with anyone else.
Emotional connect-
Some fun moments making you laugh where as sad moments can make you cry.
Points to improve-
Logic in story-
Keep your brain away and watch the drama to enjoy it
Second leads focus-
Though Second couple is quiet talented they do not get much focus or screen time
Over all- its a good drama if you are looking for romantic comedy with leads that shine brighter than moonlight

Light drama to bingle watch
Heart-warming drama with funny backstory and good development. The main characters are really caring and it´s good to see the male lead persuing the girl for a change. We could feel their love and their amazing and cute dynamic being a mix of love and pretend hate. The secondary characters had amazing chemistry too and the cast as a whole was amazing both with the acting and the clear bonding with lots of bromance and girlmance. I really liked and it´s a light drama you can bingle watch in a weekend and easily rewatch when you are needing for a distraction and a good laugh.Was this review helpful to you?
This romance is very similar in basic plot to Love 020 and Le Coup de Foudre.
I liked this more because of the endearing relationship between the two leads Xia Ke and Xing Yun. While in the beginning Xia Ke takes Xing Yun for granted , he is never unnecessarily cruel or mean. Xia Ke is quick to want to clear up misunderstandings. There is a lot of respect flowing between the two of them, and they have really good natural chemistry (and good kissing scenes - though it takes forever to get there!).
The side romance/side characters are charismatic with good personalities.
The plot is thin and could have been edited down to 20 episodes. I almost dropped this around Episode 12 because the typical 'switch' (when the arrogant male character panics/goes into crisis/humbles himself) was taking too long.
Complex Themes - 6
Not complex, but I liked the emphasis on trust, respect and sharing burdens. Really good modelling on healthy relationships. I liked the growing respect for typically gendered 'feminine' skills in the work place e.g. organizing, morale boosting, loyalty, team-work.
Character Growth - 6
Xing Yun grows to know her own worth, but it is Xia Ke who does the fundamental transformation to being more trusting and open. Neither do a huge dramatic transformation, but they do have a lasting change.
Nuanced Women -7.5
Xing Yun is your typical bubbly, girlish naive female lead. BUT she does have a lot of inner strength by the end, and does out-smart other characters. I liked the strong female friendships displayed - and there was a lot of female screen time.
Cinematography/Production Values - 7.5
There was a lot of name branded/luxury goods to help with the realism of wealthy characters. The sets were appropriate. There are no 'cinematic' moments - it was shot as a basic drama.

Continuation of TTEOM❤️❤️❤️
I love the story Love Is Sweet ❤️ after the heartbreaking movie of TTEOM. The male and female leads are more compatible-looking at a glance. The chemistry between Leo and Bai Lu is just awesome. It was a great movie capturing the feelings of first love and high-school friendship. Bai Lu is a very talented, cute, beautiful actress. Her beauty is beyond words, she is truly a gorgeous girl. Her talent is unmatched. Blending humor, adult themes, and a sweet, artistic style, every page delivers. Also, unlike other c-dramas where physical contact is already rare, this series has more than enough non-public PDA moments that are spread pretty evenly throughout. Unrealistic of course, but good for viewership.Was this review helpful to you?
This is probably the first Cdrama where I haven’t wanted to skip scenes
I’m not going to lie and say this is the best drama. The story is one you’ve seen a thousand times and the acting is silly. But I will say this is a 10 in my book.The biggest thing for me is how lovable all of the side characters and love plots are. I often skip through scenes that are about love stories outside of the main (they’re often just too slow/boring for me when I’m more interested in the mains) but I adored watching them in this one. I found myself more invested in the side love stories at times than the main, which has never happened for me before.
Give it a try if you’re looking for something easy to digest. There are many heart-fluttering moments to make you smile.
