a place where everything is possible
Drama was okay, but the story isn't quite like expected.
STORY--------------------------------
One thing that I didn't understand was the connection between the Title of the drama and the drama itself. I'd expect "Sweet Combat" to be finding love and developing the love story through boxing or taekwondo. I seemed to imagine a more "hot", "love at first sight" sort of thing. But the story was the complete opposite. There were only 2 major love scenes between the leads in the drama. Also, I didn't really like the female lead character that much, since it was too much of a stereotype Queen Fighter, trying to hide their feelings, acting tough, being chased by guys, etc. This is another one of the dramas where the leads are separated by someone who is trying to sabotage their relationship, and it isn't until the last 20 minutes of the drama where they reunite and find the truth. It was a combination of the plot and the characters that made me a little iffy about a good rating.
ACTING/CAST-------------------------
I think both leads were okay at acting, though I personally liked the male lead, Song Xiao Mi, Fang Zhou (female lead's brother), and Chen Ya Nan's dad the most in the drama. They had really unique personalities.
MUSIC-----------------------------------
All the music was good, and I almost memorized the lyrics to all of the songs!
REWATCH VALUE--------------------
I don't think I will rewatch it for the story/experience. I would at most rewatch it for the cast/acting and music.
OVERALL-------------------------------
The reason why I wouldn't recommend this drama is because the story and characters don't seem right. The only reason I would recommend the drama is because there is lots of humor, the cast is good, and the music is amazing.
