Hidden Love

My All Time Favorite Romance Drama

"Hiddon Love" has become my all time favorite drama. In one word, it is the perfect. Drama is a heartwarming romantic drama that stands out for its simplicity and lack of unnecessary plotlines. I have to mention that don’t decide about this drama until you have finished at least 8 episodes. Until 8th you may feel it’s just a common drama. But trust me after 8th episodes drama will be becoming more and more interesting.

Both leads are incredibly talented and deliver outstanding performances. However, I have to mention the male lead, Chen Zhe Yuan, who is simply amazing. The performance of Chen Zhe Yuan in this drama is truly unique and natural. Specially I can’t describe how I felt while watching his performance it’s is filled with emotions.I loved the most the way he looking at Sang Zhi. Every time he looks at her, his eyes are filled with warmth and emotions can’t describe. This is my third drama from him all are became my favorites because of his performance.

The music of this romantic drama is truly special. My favorite is “You’re My Only Wish” can’t stop listening.

I have finished more than 400 asian dramas already but this is my first time i have ever rewatched a drama more than 4 times. I never rewatched any drama more that 1 time before, really difficult to move on. Can’t stop thinking about them. Just don’t know what should i do going to watch again and again.

I can't recommend this drama enough. It is an absolute must watch drama don’t miss it.

Young girl and her crush!

My first review :")

Highly recommended drama! The plot of the story is uncomplicated, light and very relaxed. Perfect for filling time.

This not only tells how you pursue love at a young age, but also teaches how you must keep learning and not easily give up in achieving anything. The two actors (Chen Zheyuan & Zhao Lusi) they develop the character of both very well. Zhao Lusi (Sang Zhi) is extraordinary, she plays a high school girl who is cheerful, gentle and very caring. He is very funny, and Chen Zheyuan (Duan Jiaxu) i only started to know him from this drama. Of course, his role really caught my attention. Why not? he is the green flags guy :)

I'm sure they will bring you who watch as if you entered their world dan when you watch this drama, you will feel like you have returned to that time. :))

100% worth your time. You will never regret it. With their chemistry, acting between ML and FL, you will feel butterflies in your stomach every single episode you watch. The way ML looked at FL arrrrrrrrr can't stand it anymore. Hope they air all the episodes at once. I normally read the novel first and every time they made it into live-action I feel disappointed because they only emphasized looks and when they acted so cheesy and like a robot. But not in this drama, their acting is on point. Even the supporting roles are good. I repeated three times for every single episode so far while waiting for a new episode. Waiting time is killing me :)

How I wished that the girl just hid her love forever

It was a weird and intolerable sight for me. I was having such a good time watching the show during the first half but then it became draggy. It all started when the guy started to grow feelings for the young girl. I know that five years gap in a relationship is not considered a very far-away gap, but damn! Why did they not hire a young actor to portray the main male lead during his university days? They just stick to the same actor till the end in wherein it seem too hard for me to accept their romance. The guy felt like a predator who fell in love with a middle school girl.

The main girl's characteristic sticks with being childish until the end. I know that this is not their intention but I can’t help but to feel cringe at their scenes. It was a better ending if the girl ended up with someone his age or those men who tried to court her.

A disappointment from the good reviews from the majority. It wasn’t as good as it seemed to be. The punches that the main guy received from the young girl’s brother are all my feelings towards their pairing. If there’s a different concept, I guess they can win me with their chemistry. But this one is such a meh for me.

Must watch and rewatch

First of all the story, for me it's the story that wanted me to give it a try , I think this story is kinda new for me after watching mang drama which were very similar(and i really love the concept of liking ur brothers friend actually it was little hurting to see her not able to say her love out because she was afraid of losing him and also the airport scene which made my eyes swollen because of crying and the scenes after he realised that she actually loved him for so many years was very good and the scenes on her birthday was also very good and I am waiting for the scenes on his birthday when sang zhi says yes )
Next is the cast i really loved all the cast and I love the fl and ml so much and i hve also watched their drama before and i personally think they have given their best in this drama in portraying the characters so well which made me fall in love with this drama.
This drama actually makes my heart flutter especially the ep 15 and I am also waiting for ep 16 and 17 , the trailer of these two episodes made my heart melt which makes me impatient and i hope it does the same for everyone who loves this drama
And this drama is actually very good which I will watch again . Overall this drama is good if u love watching youth , romance kinda genres and it's a worth giving it a try even if u don't usually watch this kinda drama , it's does cringe u out and it's romantic scenes actually make ur cheeks red better have an ice pack with you when u watch this drama

Hidden Love: A Bittersweet Delight - Love, Atmosphere, and Talent

Lets be real, the story is at most a 7/10, BUT everything else in this novel adaptation is top-notch. From the atmosphere, music, progression and setting, to the cast and production. Especially, the performances of both the female and male leads carry 70% to 80% of this drama's rating, elevating it to a 9 - 9.5 .

First Chen Zhe Yuan, his character is the perfect mix of the most bitter and darkest chocolate and the sweetness of cotton candy. An example of a humble, disciplined and determined human to almost transcendent extent .
And Zhe Yuan portrays those qualities on a remarkable level on screen. Personally this is my first time watching him, but after this I will make sure to watch some other dramas with him in the main role. (..also funny thing for me is, Zhe Yuan expressions resemble a lot Ahn Nae Sang acting (like a younger version) *haha*, and I remember Nae Sang for a lot of villain roles, so I had a more negative impression of the character Duan Jia Xu at the start "xD") .

Zhao Lu Si, daaaaaaaamn. In this role her character is a total airhead, gentle and insecure but also a little shrewd and astute (except when it comes to romance...).
Idk, how should I describe it? It felt like Lusi entered a different kind of level in this role, a higher plane in comparison to her other roles. To be fair it is a modern setting in comparison to most of her other roles, but still... the expressions felt carefree and captivating, and a lot of times like it was off-script.

To wrap thing up: A great cast, pleasing to the eye environment, a good story pace, gentle romance and no rage inducing plot-armor plot. In the end we are left with a few unresolved questions, but nothing that breaks my impression of the show, and if I truly wanted to know the answers I probably would read the novel.

This drama was undeniably worth my time, and if you're a fan of the cast, I wholeheartedly recommend giving "Hidden Love" a try.

folding stars till all my dreams come true ;)

i will never be able to encapsulate fully the love i have for this drama in words.
i fell head over heels with all of the characters, storyline, and most of all the way jiaxu looks at sangzhi (i need someone to look at me as if they can't live without me). jiaxu loves her more than love. he is such a green flag, and their love story will always have a special place in my heart. also, viccctoooorr i wish you were my older brother i beg you please ahhhh. zhaolusi and victor will be top tier brotherXsister combo forever, and they literally act like that in real life as well <3
the ost is an absolute banger, its been on repeat for days and will be continue to be doing so till i die. also, half of them will be in my wedding playlist and im going to learn all the lyrics to it (not just by the sound). also, the fact that even though chenzheyuan usually never like to sing, but he sang forever star LIVE im crying. i will never get over how good this show is (i really don't know why i stopped watching when it was first released, i was just too young and oblivious to REAL LOVE LOL) i wish that i could erase my brain of all the edits and the show as a whole so i can relive the giggles, crying and laughing, ah please please i beg. my husband better watch this show before we get married because he needs to know how to love me the way jiaxu loves sangzhi, no scratch that he needs to know how to love me the way chenzheyuan and zhaolusi love each other PERIOD. half of the time, i related to victor so much because i felt really single watching this show, but what made me feel even more single was the fact that hes hasweiyifan.... :`) omg zeng li has the best hair in the whole show, and her skin is absolutely flawless like gurll you do not look like a mother of two grown adults and the fact that she and zhaolusi are so close and have that motherdaughter bond makes this show extra special.

i wish it was longer, or a season two would be absolutely amazing AHH i want to see them as parents and tell their love story to their kids (+baijingting and zhangruonan cameo maybe ?!??!?!? i would die if this happens, im already in heaven at that point)

it was a simple cute love story with a lot of great point of view..

the show is definitely good but i think it's very overhyped. I know a lot of dramas like the same genre but with better stories. They didn't show side love stories that much. But the main lead's story and his past was beautifully portrayed.the female lead was also strong but somehow childish which i don't like much. overall it was a great watch and czy always rocks his character i watched this drama because of him and fell in love with zhao lusi but sang zhi's character should have a little bit of adult touch then it would have been so much better. And i don't think so i will rewatch this.

Let's set some thing straight

So I've seen some reviews on here saying basically what the tiktoks are saying about this drama, the whole age thing.
I assumed you would have watched the drama but considering the reviews being left I don't think that's the case or at least I don't believe they watched it with an understanding of what's happening.
Yes, they do in fact meet when she's 14 and he's 19, but that whole ordeal is like 2 days at most, after which they dont see each other again until she's 17 and he's 22. Again that whole meeting doesn't last that long either, he tutors her in physics and after that they don't see each other until she's a freshman in college.
During this whole time he treats her AND THINKS OF her as a little sister, nothing more nothing less, SHE catches feelings when she is 17.
So in the grand scheme of things, they're acquaintances AT BEST.
Anyways with that out the way I loved the drama, the acting was amazing, it was cute, fluffy heartwarming, the OST was actually suprisingly good, the chemistry of the leads to me is heart-fluttering.
I loved how supportive, understanding and mature the couple was , helping each other, understanding each other, COMMUNICATING, relying on each other.
In short to me this drama felt like a piece of fluffy and warm romance with some realistic elements added to it.
