Easygoing jdrama
When I tell you I watched Sugar Sugar Honey in two sittings, you got to believe. That’s how easygoing this drama is.I found the story mature enough, granted with some troupe-y issues that I didn't particularly liked but the resolution was handled really well. Overall it’s nice to see a healthy relationship on screen. I recommend it!

OK, but not great even given the constraints of a short series
I liked the leads. I liked the general story. But somehow I was not really drawn in. The chemistry between the leads was lackluster. The side characters were OK, but one-dimensional. The OST was just... not good. Kinda 70s pop or something?Anyway, not really BAD, so if you want to fill a couple of hours go ahead. Just don't expect too much.

Good Enough
Japanese Drama '' Sugar Sugar Honey '' is a short drama.The story is cute and it has it all: food (delicious desserts), sports, old rivalries, office drama, cute romance, comedy, family drama, etc. And it does a good job blending them, though each episode focuses on one of those genres, as the drama's length doesn't allow it to get more in depth.
Also, the romance, though adorable at first, got unnecessarily dramatic with an eye rolling twist in the end.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable by every actor and actress in the cast.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Le sel était à l'heure, mais le miel et le sucre ne sont jamais arrivés
Le titre semblait être un bel indice du sucre à venir. Même le résumé promettait une petite lampée de miel. Cependant, c'est un pot de sel saupoudré de quelques miettes que j'ai trouvé.C'est vrai, je n'attendais pas grand chose de Sugar Sugar Honey. Une histoire simple, mais bien racontée me rend tout aussi heureuse qu'une histoire tordue et complexe. Cela dit, j'espérais y trouver un réconfort sucré. Typiquement ce qu'on recherche dans une petite romance - qui en plus met en scène un chef pâtissier.
Certes, le casting est bon. Kawazu Asuka est ravissante. Nagatsuma Reo est croquant avec ses cheveux longs. J'ai adoré leur différence de taille (péché mignon assumé), mais c'est tout... Il n'y a aucune attraction entre eux, aucun intérêt. Ils sont ensemble, mais pourquoi ? Aucune idée. Ils le sont, et c'est tout. La FL est un paillasson pour une ancienne adversaire et... et rien ! On découvre qu'ils viennent de la même ville et... et rien, encore ! Parfois, l'amour n'a pas besoin d'explication, mais ici, c'est vraiment prendre les mots aux pieds de la lettre.
En fin de compte, c'est adapté d'un manga et mit en scène comme tel. Ce qui ne fonctionne pas. L'histoire est fade et manque cruellement de profondeurs et d'émotions.
En bref, Sugar Sugar Honey est un titre trop salé pour une histoire qui se voulait sucrée.

Drama carino con protgonista femminile pessima
Il drama di per sè è carino, semplice e leggero. Trama lineare e super prevedibile. Belle scene belle inquadrature begli attori. Nella sua semplicità potrebbe far passare allo spettatore poche ore di svago senza pensieri condite con un po' di romanticismo e dolci estremamente belli da vedere. Cibo e amore di solito sono un connubio che funziona sempre e lo farebbero pure qui, se non fosse per la prtagonista femminile che dovrebbe reggere la trama e invece la affonda. Questo drama si basa sulla sua seconda vita dopo aver lsaciato lo sport che era tutto per lei: la corsa. Ma non sentiamo mai la forza della sua passione sportiva, mai nemmeno la forza dei suoi sentimenti per il progonista. Nulla. Espressività zero, e quando agisce l'unica cosa che ti viene da dire è che è timida ed educata. estremamente educata. Troppo educata. Ringrazia il protagonista venti volte ad episodio per inezie, gli è grata anche solo se le parla, non lo guarda negli occhi. Persino alla fine quando il loro rappoto dovrebbe essersi evoluto e maturato e lui le chiede di sposarlo lei si inchina e dice grazie. No grazie io questo dram lo promuovo al 6,5 solo per il protagonista maschile che mi piaceva e per i dolci.Was this review helpful to you?
