Synopsis

Former campus belle An Ran, in order to attract investment, disguised herself as a "winner in life," but was miserably exposed in front of others... Heartbroken, An Ran drinks heavily and by chance, she ends up in a "one-night affair" with her debt-collecting landlord Yan Yue, who is six years her junior. Not long after, she discovers that Yan Yue is not only a major star in the voice acting industry, known as Hei Sha, but also the next project collaborator brought in by her business partner Hu Yingjun. However, Yan Yue never reveals his identity as a voice actor to outsiders.

After experiencing a series of ups and downs in the entrepreneurial journey, An Ran's gaming company gradually flourishes. Previously hurt in matters of the heart, An Ran finds companionship and healing in the everyday playfulness with Yan Yue. Over time, they start to allocate time and energy to confront their feelings for each other.

Suddenly, a public opinion crisis emerges, forcing the two into a dilemma between love and career. In the end, while holding onto her passion for the gaming industry, An Ran helps Yan Yue overcome his fear of confrontation, gradually maturing. Hand in hand, they navigate challenges and propel their beloved career even further.

    A gentle and enduring sweet drama

    The plot of "Sweet Games" is very good, and the pacing is light in this sweet and lively drama.

    There's no stereotypical domineering CEO; instead, there's a warm and proud healing-type "little puppy". There's no city girl protagonist drowning in self-pity; rather, there's an optimistic and proactive girl with a touch of cuteness and humor. There's no disregard for normal romantic logic or rushed love storylines, but rather, there's a story of a campus crush that evolves into a reunion nine years later.

    From the heroine's belated realization of her feelings to the ambiguity of their interactions, every step is taken slowly and methodically, flowing like a gentle stream. Interactions between people should be respectful and not overly hasty. In the world that often values quick success, watching a sweet drama like "Sweet Games" can be quite healing.

    "Sweet Games"- WINWIN brings surprises

    "Sweet Games" is WINWIN's first leading role drama after returning to his home country. To be honest, before it was aired, I didn't have too high expectations for his performance as an idol-turned-actor. I believe many others shared similar sentiments.

    However, as I watched further, I discovered that WINWIN's portrayal of the character Yan Yue was surprisingly fitting. Despite it being his first acting endeavor, his acting skills appeared somewhat inexperienced, which interestingly added to the youthful and occasionally immature essence of the character Yan Yue.

    Whether it was his infatuation with his senior during his college days, or his current portrayal as a quirky, proud, and occasionally jealous younger neighbor, he captured these aspects very well in his performance.
