The person pulled, it seems, is sweet (6)
I believe the answer is:
dragee
'sweet' is the definition.
(dragee is a kind of sweet)
'the person pulled it' is the wordplay.
'the person' becomes 'dr' (Dr is an example).
'pulled' becomes 'age' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'dr'+'age'+'e'='DRAGEE'
'seems is' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for dragee that I've seen is " Silver ball on cake".)
