Love is Sweet ( Chinese: 半是蜜糖半是伤; pinyin: Bàn shì mì táng bàn shì shāng ; literal translation means “equal part sweet and pain”), is a 2020 Chinese television series loosely adapted from the novel of the same name by Qizi. Starring Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu as leads, the show started airing with multi-languages subtitles on iQIYI on Sep 27, 2020. [1]
Jiang Jun, with her double master's degree in Economics and Psychology, applies for a job at an investment bank called MH, where Yuan Shuai, once the alleged 'big bully' of her childhood, now MH's executive director, goes out of his way to prevent her from entering the company. [2] [3] However, she finally gets into MH with Lin Taimo's help. It is revealed that Yuan Shuai has been in love with Jiang Jun for 10 years and that he has always 'bullied' her to toughen her up so that she would not cry so easily when faced with difficulties because she has tear allergy. [4] When he confesses, Jiang Jun reciprocates his feelings, and they start dating. When Lin Taimo is appointed as MH's managing director, he sets Yuan Shuai up in a bribery scheme and successfully kicks him out of MH, replacing him with Du Lei, Yuan Shuai's longtime rival in the investment banking field. With Linda and Du Lei's help, Yuan Shuai secretly investigates the acquisition of the rice noodle company of Jiang Jun's deceased father and his associated death, whose culprits turn out to be Lin Taimo and Linda. Yuan Shuai's cousin Li Xiaochuan and Jiang Jun's best friend Xu Li also start a relationship after Xu Li has been pursuing him and helping him with his newly founded start-up.
Two years later, Jiang Jun is promoted to be vice president of the investment bank department, while Yuan Shai is the managing director of GE's corresponding department. Du Lei, now MH's investment bank department managing director, confesses his feelings to Jiang Jun only to face rejection. Jiang Jun investigates Du Lei's corruption act because it causes two of her colleagues to be fired by Du Lei. Yuan Shai finally successfully proposes after several failed attempts, to which Jiang Jun accepts and then gets pregnant with their first child.
