Doce é o Amor (2020)

If you want a light, well produced, explosive chemistry, without your usual weak FL and a lot of laughter, superb acting for all actor/actress, this drama have it all. Also our ML visual is OMG.

I would say there is not much plot/story line, watching this drama is as light as enjoyable as watching famous US sitcom “Friends”. OST is also light but well done. Perfect weekend watch to distress.

Both our ML & FL has good acting. My 1st time watching Lou Yunxi modern drama and I was so pleasantly surprised after watching his costume drama. Were these characters acted out by the same actor, the contrast is so unbelievable. Natural is the key world for his acting. I can compare him on par with my fav. US actress in famous comedy “Veep” Julia Louis Dreyfus who won 5 Emmy awards for Veep only. Watching Yuan Shuai reminds me of her in Veep, effortlessly natural acting. I want to see him more in Comedy drama.

This drama is actually perfect and one of the best dramas I've ever watched. The main characters' relationship from their childhood to their adulthood was done so well and the CHEMISTRY is just off the charts for all of the characters who are coupled up. All of the characters had a depth to them as well and the storyline does have a couple of interesting twists throughout. It also just had so many laugh out loud moments and is just very lighthearted and enjoyable from start to finish. I genuinely did not want it to end but it captured the entire storyline in just the right amount of episodes! Not to mention the soundtrack is AMAZING - I still have songs stuck in my head a month later and cannot get over this drama. PLEASE WATCH IT IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IT. It's one of the best dramas of 2020!!

เรื่องราว
เรื่องนี้มองดูอาจจะเป็นแนวทั่วไปที่หลายประเทศสร้างเยอะมาก แนวที่พระเอกเป็นเจ้านายสุดหล่อแสนเพอร์เฟคเย็นชาเจ้าเล่ห์ ส่วนนางเอกเป็ยสาวน้อยแสบซนดื้อ แต่ก็เป็นตัวละครที่สร้างรอยยิ้มให้กับพระเอกเสมอ และทั้งสองคนก็มาเจอกันหลังจากที่ไม่ได้เจอกันมาหลายปี พระเอกก็ตามจีบนางเอก เก็บความรู้สึกของตัวเองเอาไว้ข้างในโดยที่นางเอกไม่รู้เลยว่ามีคนแอบปกป้องเธออยู่ตลอด และทั้งคู่ก็เจอเรื่องราวผ่านมาด้วยกันได้มารักกัน
สำหรับเรื่อง ครึ่งทางรักนี้ เป็นเรื่องที่จะคล้ายกับบทตามที่กล่าวไปข้างต้น แต่ที่ชอบคือ ตัวละครไม่ค่อยงี้เง่า เวลาทะเลาะกันก็จะปรับความเข้าใจกันได้อย่างรวดเร็ว
ทำให้ความสัมพันธ๋ของตัวละครไม่ดูน่าเบื่อ
ในเรื่องของการงาน ก็ทำให้รู้เกี่ยวกับอาชีพนี้มากขึ้นว่าเป็นอาชีพเกี่ยวกับอะไร
มันคืออาชีพเกี่ยวกับที่ปรึกษาทางการเงินของบริษัท บริษัทจะขาดทุนหรือได้กำไรขึ้นอยู่กับคนที่ทำงานสายนี้ค่อนข้างมาก
ในเรื่องเกี่ยวกับโรคประจำตัวนางเอก โรคแพ้น้ำตาตัวเอง ทำให้รู้และศึกษาต่อว่า ในโลกของเรามีโรคแปลกประหลาดอย่างที่นางเอกเป็นมีอยู่ในโลกนี้ ซึ่งคนที่เป็นโรคนี้ต้องเข้มแข็งและอดทนมากเลย เป็นกำลังใจให้นะคะ

ในส่วนของเรื่องการคัดเลือกแคสนักแสดง

36 hours that I do not regret :D

I rarely finish cdramas because they are super long and tend to drag from its original plot, but Love is Sweet does an amazing job of keeping the plot on track. Every actor is excellent (none of them are annoying) and the chemistry between the main leads makes my heart throb. I think they have the best chemistry out of every drama couple I’ve seen. I screamed so many times from funny, sweet, sad, and happy moments. There is a perfect mix of realistic struggles and heart fluttering romantic moments.

This drama is pretty lighthearted so if you are looking for something that is really deep and profound, that’s not this drama. If you’re looking for something fun and just enjoyable, I 100% recommend. The production value is so aesthetically pleasing, the dogs are adorable, and the OSTs are also so so good. This is definitely my favorite cdrama of the year, go watch!!!

The chemistry is really good

I am a big fan of Bai Lu and a bigger fan of Kai Lu Romance so when I had a chance to watch this one I was thinking it would be like ”lucky’s first love” where the chemistry wasn't all there but It was enough... But after watching this.. You really can't get enough of the FL/ML connection.. They had great chemistry together and like any typical romcom.. There were sweet and funny moments throughout. I was thinking of reading the book but towards the end of the story, it started to falter.. Don't get me wrong I would still skip to watch the Main characters moments.. After a while it still made sense. It could have been shorter but as all Chinese stories.. Keep dragging it out.. Overall it was a must watch at least for the main characters.. The side characters did pay their dues and did the story proud but again it could have been shorter.

Intriguing Story Line

The story focuses around the FL, Jiang Jun, who suffers from an extremely rare disease: extreme anaphylactic reactions to her own tears.

The ML, Yuan Shuai, is a young extremely talented finance banking business man who grew up with the FL acting as her guardian/protector.

Due to an unfortunate misunderstanding between the two, they part ways in high school and don't see each other again until after college.

Jiang Jun and meet each other again when our FL applies for a job at the company where the ML holds a high position, and the misunderstandings ensue.

The 2nd ML, Du Lei, has his interest sparked in Jiang Jun when he believes that his business rival, Yuan Shuai, is dating her.

His motives seem questionable, as does his character.... until we are introduced to the 2nd FL who constantly accompanies him. The 2nd FL's relationship to him seems murky, unclear, and slightly sensual... until it's revealed what her real position in his life is.

The 2nd ML, Du Lei, has such in interesting and chaotic background, one hopes that his story has a good ending.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai stumbled through misunderstandings both hilarious and challenging.

Please don’t drop this drama!!!

Got to know Leo Luo when he acted in the drama ashes of love. Actually have watched dramas acted by the main casts of the drama so it I know the acting will definitely not disappoint.

The chemistry between the leads was superb, and yes I must say that the kids scene is really not those typical c-drama kids scene where the lips just touch. They’ve got some action going on *winks* definitely love their interaction on and off screen!!

Kido Gao’s acting really wowed me, I was so into his role and drew the character so well!

Although I did skip some parts of Riley and Shane, but I was just so into the main story!! The drama really shows how much Yuan Shuai loves Jiang Jun, although much like typical c-drama plot, but you can never get enough of it!!

PS. I definitely love wang cai the corgi! Too adorable!

The Leads Carry This Series

I think a lot of other reviewers mentioned this, but the two main leads were really outstanding in their roles here. They had chemistry and I genuinely laughed out loud during several moments of this series. However, the story was lacking in my opinion, which made watching it a bit of a slog. This is so unfortunate as the lead actors were really amazing. What frustrated me the most was that the premise of Jun's character having an allergy to tears, though somewhat absurd, could actually be viewed in such an interesting light, but didn't quite get realized in the story.

My thought on her tear allergy at first was that it was an obvious shortcut to create tension for Jun's entry into the investment banking world. But there were a couple of interesting points that were brought up but never really challenged that made me think that this tear allergy/inability to cry could have been an interesting way to explore some of the dynamics, especially gender dynamics, that were at play.

Yuan tells her early on that the kind of work they're doing is so difficult, time consuming, and often soul-crushing that only about 20% of the people working in investment banking are women; essentially, he says that this job is so difficult that a lot of men can't hack it, but especially a lot of women. Because, apparently, women are inherently mentally and emotionally weaker. For Jun, having an allergy to tears makes this kind of work dangerous to her health and well-being; apparently, women cry all the time when things are hard, and Jun doesn't even have that luxury. There's obviously some very patriarchal ideas at play here. Obviously, Jun proves that she can succeed because she's not the same 'weak and timid' girl Yuan knew in their schooldays. She proves that she's learned how to control her emotions better and that Yuan needs to get to know her again before making any judgments. But I thought it would have been interesting if the narrative challenged this initial premise in a more nuanced way.

For one, the idea that crying proves some kind of mental or emotional weakness, especially for women because, apparently, men don't cry (mmmhm) could have been looked at more closely. And, secondly, that the reason for a lack of gender parity in this field is that the majority of women are somehow too weak to handle it could have been examined through the lens of the first point.

For Jun to succeed in this field, she must prove that she won't cry; at least, that's the standard that Yuan holds her to at first. This is the part that seems the most absurd to me; the metric here being that if one sheds tears because things are hard, that one is unfit to deal with those hard things. For both men and women this type of gendered idea about crying is especially heinous for reasons I don't think I should have to get into. The narrative somewhat challenges this by showing that Jun is not just capable but talented in her work; even if she cries because something terrible happens to her (the mugging that happens early on for example) she can still do her job and do it well. But, I think the crux of this very idea about whether crying is acceptable or not gets lost in the premise of Jun's tear allergy. If she cries, it's literally dangerous to her, which lets Yuan's character and the audience off-the-hook for thinking she's unfit because of her "feminine emotions"; he's just concerned about her well-being. So, instead of facing the very idea of crying as being both inherently feminine and a sign of mental/emotional weakness, the narrative avoids it entirely.

Secondly, the lack of gender parity that Yuan cites early on was something that should have been challenged more in the narrative. Is it that women are just not as fit to do investment banking or are there very gendered conditions that exist that are the real reason? The narrative touches on the truth here in so many ways without even realizing it. For example, there's a storyline early on about workplace sexual violence. Jun discovers that a young woman in an entertainment company is the victim of sexual violence by the CEO. They use this to oust him from his role there. Another example happens later on when a colleague forces Jun to entertain and drink with a client. While toxic drinking culture isn't inherently gender-based, gender still comes into play here. Jun isn't just targeted and forced to drink exorbitantly by this client for being the newbie, but she's also sexually harassed in this scene as well. This hazing takes on another layer because she's a woman; they treat her as though she should act as an escort to their male client. But this touches on an important aspect about women in the workplace; sexual violence and harassment are a very real issues in many industries. Such issues make those workplaces unfair, toxic, and even dangerous for women to work in.

Then there's the underlying issue about working women, in general, and romance. When one of the other characters finds out about Yuan and Jun's relationship, she warns Jun that they should be careful; if it's found out, Jun will be the one who has to leave. Later, towards the end of the series, Yuan pressures Jun to resign because she's being so overworked her health is suffering as a result. While, Yuan walks this back later on, both of these points in the series illustrate one of the key issues at play here. When it comes to love, marriage, and starting a family, Jun's career can and should be sacrificed, because her first priority should be being a wife and mother. There's too many compounding and complex issues related to this very idea that I won't go into, but it does speak to the reality for many women in the workplace: that women are treated like they don't actually need to be there.

But rather than really explore some of the themes laid out initially, the series deviates through so many predictable and flat storylines, love triangles, and side couples. Jun doesn't even get to participate in the most consequential storyline related to her own character; once again, the men take charge and leave her out about finding the truth about her father's death. Instead, Jun is forced to navigate petty jealousy from colleagues and really... nothing else. She holds back her tears, because crying is weakness in this shark tank of a business (but also she has an allergy!!!1!). A lack of gender parity in a workplace is sometimes not because women can't do the job, but rather because there's often a gendered culture that is prohibitive towards women even being there. But if you cry about it? You're just proving them right.

Cotton Candy Drama - Fluffy and Sweet

Yes the plot is fluffy and forced at times...but the leads poured on the sugar and made this drama so sweet.

I must admit, I watched this for LY after watching him in Ashes of Love. It was just what I needed to cleanse the bitterness from watching RY's character being run into the ground in AoL. And, to my surprise, BL as the FL did not disappoint, helping to cleanse the sourness of YZ's performance in AoL.

Sweet Things
- Watching LY in a light-hearted role (compared to AoL)
- LY and BL were cute as a couple
- Strong FL character (not sickeningly helpless)
- Music was good and fit really well with the scenes

Bland Things
- Last 5 episodes were unnecessary (didn't like how they made the 2nd ML more immoral due to his obsession w/ FL)
- 2nd couple romance was unnecessary

The short and sweet of it is: If you like realistic dramas, this is not for you. If you are ok with fluff and want to just enjoy a light-hearted, comedic romance, then give this a try.

Looking forward to watching BL/LY in Till the End of the Moon and LY in Immortality!
