Boring
This is my lowest rated drama of over 50+ completed C drama series. The only pros for me were the sets and the OST.I watched this drama because I fell for Lu Yunxi in Ashes of Love, and wanted to see him as ML. Even he, couldn't redeem this drama for me. The chemistry between the ML and FL just didn't work here.
I don't typically FF through dramas but there was so much dialogue, and so little action. I FF through at least 30% of this drama. It was frustrating and boring.
The director or whoever was in charge of approving costuming seemed to think that the drama watching audience wasn't worth the effort of a mask, mustache, or hairstyle change as a disguise.
The FL was terribly written. She was purposefully ignorant, useless, immature, dependent, rash and frustrating! The ML was mostly weak, melancholy, and morose.
Even the storyline seemed all over the place. Like it was just thrown together moments before filming.

Love truly is sweet.
This drama was a bit slow and a bit draggy for me. I had to force myself to pay attention quite a bit.I fell in love with Luo Yun Xi (Deng Lun too) while watching Ashes of Love and wanted to see Luo Yun Xi as Male lead.
The acting was excellent eventhough the story had a few irksome points (like the whole deathly allergic to tears plot) that annoyed me or had me rolling my eyes.
I like how the characters grew in maturity and chemistry. Overall I enjoyed this drama and I think the title is really fitting, especially after finishing the last episode. Love is Sweet ?

Season 1 is better than season 2
This is a review of both season 1 and 2.I was shaking my head at this one. It had a great cast and could have been excellent. Instead it was confusing, campy, and disjointed.
Starts off campy and silly, goes full Game of Thrones red wedding and ends happy but disjointed, rushed, and unexplained.
Season 1 was interesting and silly. It was a rather common theme but with a slight twist. I like the concept but it lacked depth.
Season 2 started off well but the last 2 episodes seemed like the middle of a whole different drama. It ends rushed and confusing... but happy... I guess.
The sets were colorful but garish. The OST was catchy and sweet.
I wouldn't purposely watch this drama again.

Toxic behaviour and not enough main character development.
Spicy scenes between ML and FL were sizzling hot. That being said...I wasn't a fan of the main couple storyline.The side characters storylines were much better. Bit-Na and Nam Gyu Hyun's relationship was so cute, and had a lot of development. I'm happy they ended up together. Sol and Ji-Wan's relationship was refreshingly different for foreign dramas. My favorite relationship was the two teachers. I loved seeing their sweet relationship develop.
Lack of Character development was severely frustrating in ML/FL storyline. They should've provided some information about Jae-On's past, the storyline of Seola, and more on Na-Bi's past.
It felt like, the show-makers were trying hard to justify toxic relationship behaviour.
Na-Bi gets out of one relationship with a serial cheater, and goes right back into another. Her dismissing all kinds of red flags, even after leaving her garbage ex, is frustrating and painful to watch. She had no self respect! The fact she has to ask if he has any diseases?... because she suspects he has at least one other girlfriend, and knows he's a player, but still has sex with, and wants to be with him??♀️. Kissing Jae-On with another girls lipstick still on his mouth, right after he said he considered kissing the other girl "just a game" ?!
