JUST WATCH

This dreams was prefect. Whenever they cried, I cried with them and would whisper “Don’t cry, everything will be alright.

I have seen a lot of Cdramas and frankly, only a few blew my mind. I don’t know if it’s the norm in China, but I hated the fact that for most of the dramas it’s either the FL is extremely childish or the ML is super annoying. Remember, it’s a personal opinion. Like I said earlier, I don’t mean to be rude or offensive, I just want to air my opinion with all due respect.

This drama is a masterpiece! I haven’t seen a drama this flawless. Even the saddest person on earth would be happy after watching this. Honestly, it’s been long I typed this long epistle on any drama.

The actors were amazing! Every character were lovable, there was no single hate. And for the ML & FL? I felt deeply in love with those two. I have been a fan of the FL after watching “Love Like the Galaxy” which is by the way, among the best Cdramas I have seen.

I wish Chinese script writers would learn from this drama. I wish they would start writing more realistic characters & stories and stop making most FLs too fake and childish. I mean most of these movies are for adults, it should portray that too. I’m not a fan of skinships. However, those few kissing scenes should be as real as possible. Those romantic moments should be real and not some fake kissing scenes.

That being said, I want to applaud everyone that worked on this drama. I connected with this drama all the way, I had to rewind some of the scenes because I didn’t want it to end. To everyone that worked on this, you guys are super talented, amazing and effortlessly great actors. I love every part of it. I wish I could hug everyone on set, but it’s not possible. And I’m happy this was a huge success. You guys deserve the recognition. Thank you guys for making my day, I watched this in less than 24 hours.

For me, I would rate this an easy 10/10! I would really appreciate any recommendations to something similar; no hate, not evil parents, no evil EX, no breakups. Just two people who are deeply in love and are allowed to be and remain in love.

Beautiful little drama

A Lovely warm and uplifting little drama. The Male lead was beautiful. It is the first drama with Lu Si that I thought she looked good in. Her acting has certainly matured ironically, in a youthful role. It was a heart warming story of love and loyalty. It is my First drama with The Male Lead playing Xiang and what a treat that was. He is exquisite. His role was very touchng and honest. He is swoonworthy. A Nice story of a supprtive family unlike the usual tyranny that often exists in Asian Dramas. LuSi's character was wonderful. Her loyalty and committment to Xiang was truly wonderful. Her acting was good and her character was excellent. She moved through the different stages of her life beautifully. Excellent though she was He stole the drama for me. Perfection.

Best Coming age Drama .... !!

Why 25 eps ended so fast lol

If you need Drama that explode your Brain with a lot plot twist this is not for you. This is just simple love story with a lot fluff but executed very well.

Worth to watch every episode. Even though I finished watching it, I rewatched it again and again for consecutive days now. And the OST just too Good i still hearing OST on Spotify until now.

Also, you can see the transition of Sang Zhi from being a simple school girl to college girl with lots of maturity in mind. Like, the confrontation of her and to the lady who constantly harassed Jiaxu for the death of her father. Sang Zhi handled that confrontation so well that she managed to stay calm the whole confrontation part even if the lady bombarding her with a number of negative comments about Jiaxu.

Love all Relationship on this drama from Her Family, Her Friend, Her Obstacle and after all No Toxic Character. Only 1 Character that make DJX difficult but still reasonable.

This is the only drama with Propose ending but make me cry and Also sad because already ended.

Best Drama In 2023

This is the best drama series in 2023, in my opinion. The casting was superb - Zhao Lusi and Chen Zheyuan are both excellent actors and lived up to expectations in the series. They personified their roles so that you really cannot imagine anyone else playing the characters of Sang Zhi and Duan Jiaxu. Their chemistry is electric. They are physically so comfortable with each other that you will probably think they are a real-life couple. Many of their fans in fact, have been clamouring for them to work together again. This is the first time Chen Zheyuan has taken on this type of role - his character is generally more mature, calm and steady than what I have seen in his previous work. It's a good transition for him as he takes on lead roles in 3 upcoming dramas, all of which are quite serious. Special mention also to Victor Ma - very natural, totally believable as Sang Zhi's older brother. My only wish is that they had kept to the novel where the lead characters' age gap is concerned. There's a 7-year age gap in the novel, but in the series, the gap is reduced to 5 years. The OST has a good mix of cutesy-sounding tunes with a couple of touching ballads as well. Definitely songs to add to your Spotify playlist. If you want to have a warm, fuzzy feeling from watching a good movie or drama, watch this. It'll have you crying and laughing along. Most of the time though, you'll probably have a goofy smile on your face - the series is just that sweet! Happy watching!

We probably all have at least one sweet crush when we were young. Some materialized into a relationship, some might just be that one crush that you wish likes you back. Hidden Love is about that one sweet crush when you were little. Watching this show sort of brings back memories to when you were a little girl and has that butterfly in your stomach feeling every time this person is near, but he may not know you exist of have the same feeling as you. I was smiling and blushing at the same time at some of the scenes. This is one "feel good" drama that I really enjoyed. It has no major conflict, it's just a simple and sweet romance drama. I thought Zhao Lusi suited this role and played it well. She can be a spoiled brat and sweet at the same time. If you like fluffy romance that makes your heart flutters, you should definitely watch this drama.

Hidden Love is a MUST Watch

Honestly one of my favorite dramas, ever! The 2 leads had amazing chemistry together and I also really enjoyed the dynamic with the female lead’s brother.

Due to watching this drama, I’ve started reading the book and manhua.

If you are on the fence about watching the drama, I highly recommend it! If you love Zhao Lusi or have watched any of her other shows, you will really enjoy this one. It’s the first drama I’ve seen of the male lead and he did an amazing job - I’m looking forward to watching more dramas from him.

Such a good watch. Topic: brothers best friend

Boy was I concerned when I started this drama and the FL looked like a baby while the ML was a full ass grown man.
After watching it I have to say they solved this age gap pretty well.
The ML is a green flag and I fell in love with him BUT the FL was just perfect not only is Zhao Lusi breathtakingly beautiful I also really enjoyed her acting. They really casted a good match.
Not to mention the big brother who was just perfect.
This drama contains the usual long and painful bild up before their first touch but plays it out really well.
I hope you enjoy watching this drama because I sure did.

it made me believe in love

I was a different person before and after watching this. straight up one of the best romances I’ve ever witnessed. Main actors had incredible chemistry and gave me butterflies. The development of having a sibling-like relationship to a romantic one was flawless, despite being a tricky trope. A heartwarming, drama free story that healed me. I don’t really know what else to write except GO WATCH THIS SHOW NOW YOU WONT REGRET IT ITS A MUSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Best drama ever

The ML and FL visual are perfect.
Their acting are perfect to move my heart eventhough the story line are simple.
I watched twice lol, so sweet drama and no tension.
Lusi acting always go high another level for each drama.
The best drama so far I watched.
What I don't like is, the drama too short!!

Lusi acting always go high another level for each drama. Her acting are so natural and her small gestures and aurura can drive you into the story lines feel.
I never know who is Chen Zheyuan till I watch this drama, omg his eyes are so beautiful and can give a different emotions by just staring. He really don't need to do anything lol.
The best drama so far I watched.
What I don't like is, the drama is too short!

Favorite Drama of all time

Forever grateful to whatever stars aligned to make me watch Hidden Love. It was the first CDrama I have watched, and I am yet to find another cdrama that can keep me as bewitched by the drama and even the bts. Although the story itself is nothing extraordinary, and there are no real plot-twists etc, the viewer is kept hooked by the sheer chemistry of Chen Zheyuan and Zhao Lusi. Both of them were so beautiful and bewitching, there was no need for anything else. They could have been reading out the recipe to boil potatoes, and we would have been just as hooked. The OST was also chef's kiss. Forever star has become one of those unskippable songs.

real-life struggle and finding a loved one

One of the best dramas that shows real-life struggle and finding a loved one. romantic. from school life to working life, smooth transactions. the overall scene is very relaxing. with so many dialogue and scenes that affect the watcher's emotions. Beautiful composition. and inspiration to love only one till your last. first love and successful love. Here both support each other to work and reach the goal. shows how to care and the girl thinks of his man more than herself by wanting to support and protect him.

Si buscas un drama súper meloso, llegaste al lugar correcto!

No tengo palabras para describir lo que este drama me hizo sentir!
Estoy impresionada, ver como cada vez hay más hombres escritos por mujeres, nunca te decepciona!
Esta historia te llega al corazón, te identificas con el personaje femenino, es dulce y simpática pero no al punto de ser molesta. Y del personaje masculino no puedo decir más que: Él es el estandar, green flag andante, llevava mucho tiempo sin ver un personaje que realmente te haga pensar: ¿porqué no hay más hombres así en el mundo real? (se imaginan, sería todo un sueño), este tipo de romance te hace elevar tus expectativas!
Pensé que iba a ser aburrido ya que no hay muchos giros en la trama, pero ver el proceso de enamoramiento de ambos fue muy agradable, nada forzado, es muy llevadero, te hace querer saber que va a pasar y les deseas lo mejor a cada uno. Simplemente encantador!
Y los personajes secundarios 10/10.
