So fluffy
I'll admit i didnt know who bai lu was until tteom was announced, and then i went and watched love is sweet. I dont normally enjoy heaby romance stories, and i didnt think i would like an office romance until LiS. Bai lu is a cure and versatile actress, i loved everh time she acted silly onscreen and her chemistry with lyx made me sweat. I was blown away by their kiss scenes- no dead fish kiss in sight! It made me a little delulu for them.I loved 2fl, she was super cute and I'd definitely watch anothet drama with her in it.

Recommended to viewers who likes office romance
I kinda expected it to be all sweet and fluffy but I was surprised by that teeny tiny dark element in the mix. The plot was good though there are parts where it seems unnecessary (Du Lei loosing his marbles). The acting was outstanding and you can really see the chemistry between the two main leads. The music? PHENOMENAL!! Especially when I realized that it's Riley Wang who's singing Sometimes and also Hanyu's song Miracle.I kinda wish that there are crumbs of Xu Li and Xiao Chuan as boyfriend and girlfriend.

Effortlessly sizzling chemistry and class apart acting makes this drama very enjoyable!
So this is another rom-com which might give a sense of familiarity with other such dramas about office romance, domineering CEO etc. Many say storyline and plot are not that good. I too agree with the latter. It is a very normal day-to-day kind of story line...and probably that is why it is also so relatable.I came to see this after completing TTEOTM and am so glad that I did. The acting is just at a completely another level. I have not seen such easy chemistry between lead actors since a long time. I mean LYX...why has this awesome and mind-blowing talent remained hidden...it is absolutely baffling because his acting skills are at a very high level, even beyond that of many top Chinese actors! I have not seen such micro-expressions and the directors taking so many close-up shots of an actor. It shows that the directors too trust LYX's acting abilities. And there is Bai Lu - perfect combo for LYX! She is too good, has such an easy chemistry with Luo and gives lovely expressions at times. Both are just beyond brilliant together!
The other parts of second couple, the second lead are okay. Love is Sweet completely belongs to LYX and Bai Lu. Even their kisses are so real, no awkwardness, very professional, and to die for.
The latter part of the drama drags a bit and does not have a lot to offer in terms of storyline, but the lead actors do not disappoint.
If you are fans of the lead actors, you will not be disappointed at all. Complete mood lifter this one!

it okay
i need this cause i'm watching "Till the end of the moon " have the same main leads anyways it's to lessen the blow to that c drama that gonna have on me. anyways i don't normally watch this type of happy ending drama but i need it. this drama wasn't so bad. i was hoping that FL allergy will be revealed to every1 but it wasn't revealed like no 1 knows only FL 1 friend that she had. the couple moments get me blushing and this has cuteness overload keep in mind i don't normally go for this so i rate it how i feel about it. its okay it wasn't too bad or good it was on the middle ground for me to watchWas this review helpful to you?
Heartwarming + healing kit when you are feeling down
I was fortunate enough to watch this drama after Till the End of the Moon (cast has the same main leads) because it has tons of parallels and references even though Love is Sweet was created years before. I found Love is Sweet the perfect antidote when you are feeling down and need a good sweet, heartwarming drama to light up your day and make you laugh.The chemistry between the main leads is off the charts, they deliver the romance perfectly, the comedy, the mix of angst and passion. If you love bickering main leads with love-hate relationship - you will definitely love these two. Male lead is a cunning and confident businessman who is secretly afraid the woman he has liked since childhood will reject him. Female lead is a level-headed and no-nonsense woman entering the business world who deep down is sensitive and kind in nature. The two were childhood frenemies but after a misunderstanding lost touch with each other. Years later they meet in the business world and the male lead truly chases the female lead in secret, trying everything he can to get close to her and win her heart.
There is a second couple who is the opposite of the main leads because the girl is the one with the secret crush and chasing after the guy. The girl is a hopeless romantic whereas the guy is a scientific geek. There is also a typical second male lead who is the male lead's rival in the business world and tries to get with the female lead.
If there is one thing to take from this review is that I wholeheartedly recommend this drama as it's totally worth the watch!

History and Chemistry
I may change the review depending on how this series goes. I like the ML since Ashes of Love he can really act well and the FL I've seen her before in other series like the world owes me a first love and I think she acts really well. BUT Riley Wang is just cute I have been following him since Attention Love.The story is a typical drama trope childhood frenemies who separated. And the ML has feelings for the FL but the FL is oblivious. They meet again years later... But because od their past the FL has some prejudice against our ML but I find him sweet.
So far it's not boring and their chemistry is so good. Those finger hearts and sticker photos almost killed me. I kinda feel bad for the ML when they took that nostalgic photo and he pulled her hair but she doesn't remember it. I wonder howbshe would realize his feelings but we allsaw taht trailer right? I just can't wait for her to fall in love with him.
I like the extra scenes at the end like you see snippets of how their relationship was before they separated.
Can't say much about the 2nd couple not much screen time yet but seriously I won't consider working part time in a place just because of some perfect guy is a regular. Not now anyway. We have experienced one sided crushes but it makes me curious how their story will go.
The ost of this series is good.
As for rewatch value haha i have repeated it already from episode 1. Need I say more?

FL misunderstanding with ML
The cast is good, but the story plot is too ordinary. I'm watching because the cast & acting. The acting is good.The ML is sweet & very intelligence but sometime seems stupid to make our FL misunderstanding him so many times. The ML character is different from his previous drama in Ashes of Love & Princess Silver which look calm & pathetic.
In this drama the FL is so cute, can not forget her in her previous drama The Legends as Zhao Yao that look like evil character and has strong aura. Hope both of them play more different character.
As for story, the plot is ordinary about secret love towards childhood friend . Something new is FL disease, tear allergy. In the past there's so many drama with amnesia, then germphobia or OCD. Maybe tear allergy will lead to a new disease trends in drama.

Cute and Funny Couple
People say there is no friendly relationship between man and woman without love in it. That's what happened to Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai. For ten years, Yuan Shuai harbored feelings of love for Jiang Jun, even though they separated because of the situation. Ten years later, Jiang Jun entered the company where Yuan Shuai worked, and he got a second chance.This drama is funny and fun. There isn't a single episode without me getting excited (and laughing a lot too) seeing the relationship between Yuan Shuai and Jiang Jun, especially after episode 20, when the two of them were officially dating. Unfortunately, this happiness did not last long, because the main problem arose, namely Lin Taimo, the mastermind behind Jiang Jun's father's death.
Yuan Shuai looked annoying at first, but it was all for Jiang Jun's good, because he understood what challenges Jiang Jun had to face in that company. But Jiang Jun never gave up, and he was successful enough to stay in the company.
Du Lei, the second man, looked cute in the first half of the drama, but when he started planning to separate Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai, I started to lose sympathy for him.
I am not too interested in the story between Xu Li and Li Xiaochuan, their story seems to be covered in shadow because the main story between Yuan Shuai and Jiang Jun is more interesting and adorable.

Love the chemistry between the leads!
I have been waiting for this series for a while. I know the ML from Ashes of Love. He is spectacular in that drama. And as expected he is great in this one as well. What I was surprised at was the great performance by the FL. I was unfamiliar with her prior to this drama and she has a fan in me now!Love is Sweet is very funny. I think the usual storyline of the FL misunderstanding the ML is redeemed by the awesome acting by ML and FL and the hilarity of their antics. The two also have crackling chemistry. I can't wait until the heat rises in later episodes!

Love is Boring and Makes No Sense.
I don’t know if the FL gets better or not but for someone that’s supposedly smart, she is anything but. I can’t believe how many times the ML had to save her because of what she did. She is incredibly reckless and rash. She gets herself hired at a high stress job when she KNOWS she’s deathly allergic to tears, which makes no sense at all. ALSO, WHY DOESN’T SHE CARRY AN EPI PEN!.I don’t get the hype of Bai Lu. There’s just something about her acting that screams - acting. I can never get into the story because it’s like she’s reading lines.

Chemistry Made-up
If you have watched the main actress in All her dramas like I do then you will understand she is a pro like the main guy who also starred in Ashes of Love. The chemistry pales in comparison with the kissing and chemistry in the The Legends (same actress). Their kissing is generic although better than most Chinese drama. It’s very clean and romantic. Overall, it’s a cute live story, but if you have watched many Koreans and Taiwanese drama, then the plot is not really a sizzler.Pro:
- great acting but same old expressions from their old drama. Not bad although the main guy looks really lame. He looked okey in his other drama and he’s ok. Alright.
- some original plot but nothing unusual. Korean dramas also have the bathroom thrill, office love, etc.
Cons
- chemistry is so-so. Same old acting
-repetitive location.
