Misleading reviews

Love is sweet is an over hyped show. It's not worth the hype. Not saying it's bad, but not that great either. This show is the classic example of how the reviews and ratings can be misleading. I had been eyeing this show for a very long time(an year almost) but never got time to watch it. In the ocean of millions of dramas out there, I either forgot it or delayed watching it. Recently I decided to watch it. Mind you, I had already watched few videos floating through YouTube, so I was a bit aware of the plot of the show. The plot is weaved along the same common lines of other C DRAMAS, though the sub-plots, screenplay and many other factors set a drama apart from the other one. Guy meets the girl, they fight, they love, they separate and eventually make up(nothing new). If I see the reviews and rating of this show(be it here or other YouTube), most people have great things to say about the chemistry of the main lead. Which is fine as this is a very subjective thing, though I find it a bit above average. If I were a new viewer to the Chinese dramas, I might have loved their chemistry. But I have already watched many modern and ancient dramas where the main lead's chemistry is off the charts and at times really passionate. I think 36 episodes were not required. 24-25 episodes were more than enough. There were many sub-plots which I found not that great. They were just there to lengthen the show. The one actor I particularly like is Gao Hanyu. That dude has better screen presence than the male lead of the show. Honestly speaking, I liked him better than the ML. The FL is good. She acts well. The second leads were good too. In the end, I would say it again, please don't blindly follow the ratings. I have watched some really great dramas which have not been abundantly reviewed or rated.
