Hidden Love (2023)

Both are written by the same author and are basically high school dramas with a lot of aww moments and sweet storyline. They both show the journey of the main leads from high school till marriage

Similarities:

- Male Actor, Chen Zhe Yuan
- Both were adapted from Novels

- Family Friends (been acquainted for a long time)
- School-based
• High school to College
- Secret Crush
- ML's family issue holds him up in his relationship with the FL, therefore causing misunderstanding and holdback
- ML pursues/does programming
- Hardworking & caring ML

Differences:

- In "Hidden Love" the ML is 5 years older than the FL
- In "Our Secrets" the FL's family and ML's family are family friends while in "Hidden Love" the ML is friends with the FL's brother.
- In "Hidden Love" the ML realizes his feelings later on due to the age gap

MLs are both mature intovert guys, green flag, respect women, fell in love with younger girls then these dramas are worth watching. love every scene on both dramas

Dramas that just present the everyday’s lives of our main leads. Not stressful, just dramas where you can sit and relax. Both male leads are huge green flags. The pace and videography are giving me the same vibes. Hidden Love OST “Forever Star” and Our Beloved Summer OST “Drawer” are both relaxing and calming. Nothing complicated; just two people becoming parts of each other through the ups and downs, realistic problems in life.

First love..

FL and ML was super Beautifull, cute couple, healthy relationship...
best scene... snow falling...

I know you are wondering why OBS who has a completely different plot is here and usually i would text a bunch of points to explain why both of them are similar but in all honesty, only the essence of both of dramas are same.
Both of the drama come from the same point for me. They don’t just look at the romance part alone. They extend to understand each of the leads and to every decision they made and how they have grown on that. In OBS, we see KYS (FL) and the decisions she made for CW (ML) and for him to grow cause she loved him just like how in HL, SZ understands her heart and what it wants, at the same point maturing to understand what it really takes to fall in love.
Both of them askes the same questions, "What are we?"

Both really romantic series without any drama. Both couple are loving and mischievous. The story is calm and flow naturally and smoothly. Really pleasing to watch both.

not really but I like both dramas.
Hidden Love is about a girl who falls for her brother's friend since she was child and never waver from her crush all the way into her adulthood. some parts were boring but still liked it. Actress is not my fav so I'm a bit tough on the drama but I still recommend it

Koi wa Tsuzuku yo doko made mo is about a girl who falls for a man she meets on the streets by helping save someone, and she vows to find him and profess her love to him so she becomes a nurse so she can get close to him,
the rest you gotta watch

The feel-good kind of drama that make you happy after a long tiring day or when you are caught in a bad mood. Visuals and chemistry from both dramas are impeccable. And also the OSTs!

one sided crush turn to him actually having a crush on her since forever.pretty much similarly sweet and lovely.has too many cute moments,also invloves tranformation of the fl to pretty woman

A story full of fluffiness and cuteness hahaha. A very sweet story. If you want to smile throughout every ep, I also recommend watching this one.

The young female lead falls for the older brother's best friend. They both struggle with the brother-sister bond that they've upheld as feeling become mutual.

These two dramas can be seen as somewhat similar with of course a handful f differences, because obviously in Hidden Love we also have an age gap story line going on that doesn’t happen in Time and Him are Just Right. However I feel like the similarities that are usually found in high school to college romance dramas are all there.

Gui Xiao and Lu Yan Chen met at school – in a middle school playground. They fell in love with one another at first sight. And as they grew older, their feelings for one another grew ever stronger. They became inseparable and hoped to spend the rest of their lives together. But life has other plans for them. Gui Xiao’s family circumstances change. And Lu Yan Chen ends up training as a special police officer – which takes him to a completely different part of the country. Lu Yan Chen’s training is tough, physical, and intense. Gui Xiao, meanwhile, ends up on a career path that will take her into the world of finance. Despite the fact that they now live in different worlds, their love is still strong – and they try to keep up a long-distance relationship. This peters out – until one day, years later, Gui Xiao finds herself with a special reason to call Lu Yan Chen once more.

-Both dramas are youth dramas about love and school
-similar vibe
-Both male leads in these dramas are jealous but respectful!
- Put your head on my shoulder main lead is a little bit similar to Duan Jiaxu in the terms of the slight mischievous personality.

If you enjoyed hidden love, i suggest taking a look of Put your head on my shoulder!
