Made me watch cdrama again!!

It was fluffyy.. Sweet.. Stress and anxiety reliever for me.. I havent watch c drama in a very long time.. Last time mind you was "meteor garden" taiwan version.
I love how they look together.. Love the story line.. Love the people around them..
Its almost like it was written and produce for lusi and zheyuan. Their chemistry was great..
And the bts shoot is a show on its own. Love it..

The ost is amazing as well.
And if i may say.. The outfit that the leads wore on this show is better compare to other cdrama.

Overall i love it.. I love it..

A Heartfelt Journey of Love.

I finished watching the show, and it's one of the best ones out there. Everything between the leads is so sweet and organic, and how they overcome their initial awkwardness to finally. It's too real. Of course, the chemistry of the leads is electrifying and beautiful! One of the most gorgeous-looking pairs I've ever watched.

Different from other youth crush dramas

I usually dislike dramas that feature a young girl crushing on an oblivious older guy. But I gave this a try thanks to my fellow reviewers and I really liked it because the FL MAINTAINS HER DIGNITY. She isn't a lovable ditz who endlessly and annoyingly chases a guy who has no interest in her; she admires him quietly and he finds her likeable as well--just too young to consider romantically. Until one day she isn't too young, and then the ride gets even better. The other thing I liked was how the drama kept its focus even after they got together. So many Cdramas veer off into boring storylines about business or family in-fighting after the leads get together, but this one remembers it is a romance and comes up with small hurdles that our leads face by mutually supporting each other. It is sweet and refreshing and packed with some really good acting. A delight to watch.

THE BEST CHINESE DRAMA I HAVE WATCHED

I cant express through words enough how i amaze i am with this drama. This is so well written, directed and casted. All the staff and people behind this masterpiece really deserves recognition. Its 2024 now. And as i rewatched this masterpiece I realize that this is really a gem. Zhao Lusi, Chen Zheyuan, Actor Ma and all the cast really did give justice to their characters 100 percent. The story is so heartwrenching, the ost is so good and cozy, the cinematography and aesthetic are just so perfect. How i wish i can just watch this over and over for the first time. The reviews and rating didnt do justice. The rating should be a perfect 10/10.

Acho que é meu top 1

Eu amei, assisti umas duas vezes e provavelmente vou assistir de novo, este dorama tem de tudo um pouco, drama amor adolescente, complicações de vida adulta, e um romance maravilhoso, tirando o fato deles questionarem muito a diferença de idade dos protagonistas que hoje em dia não faz tanta diferença eu achei tudo maravilhoso, e mesmo a questão da idade ter pegado um pouco ficou perfeito não fez com que o dorama fosse um drama ruim, ainda não tenho total certeza, mas este pode ser meu 1°

No matter what, the first person who made our heart flutter will always be special<3

WOWW!! I don't care what others say about this drama being overrated because to me this drama is worth the hype. Everyone has different problems in their life and literally watch these drama to calm down their choatic mind and this one literally helped me heal. The amount of cheesiness was perfect, it didn't made me to cringe or left out. The most important thing is the male lead was not rich and arrogant/ portrayed to be someone who is beyond everything, he was just an ordinary guy trying to live a peaceful life with the person he loves. His/ her love was not exaggerated but still made us fall in love with the characters and made us believe in love. I always love a healthy and mature relationship between the main leads in a drama, yeah obviously i love angst but for this story, the amount of angst they added felt more than enough.

Sang Zhi's love for Jiaxu is everything!! Everyone talks about Jiaxu being a green forest, yeah i totally agree but Sang Zhi is the whole lot of green universe. She is cute, beautiful (both inside and outside), matured, understanding. This made the story more and more adorable.

Okay if I don't stop here, i would just keep on simping for them. I WOULD NEVER HESITATE TO WATCH THIS ONE AGAIN AND AGAIN ❤️

This review may contain spoilers

After rewatch, this is now my go to comfort show!

I really enjoyed this drama the first time around but I was nervous about the age difference. And if they were going to do anything weird with the fact that she has a huge crush on him while she’s a minor. But they don’t. It is so wholesome and perfect. I have rewatched this show a few times in the last few months and ugh I just adore it so much! The chemistry between the two leads is so good!

A must watch drama

I just finished watching hidden love and I am sooo in love with it. I don't know where to start to describe it but this drama portrayed love in the most perfect way possible. Both characters' endless love for each other blew me, especially Sang Zhi's love, affection, persistent desire to protect and defend him made me so emotional. You just can't help but want to fall in love after watching this drama. Both Sang Zhi and Duan Jiaxu are so lovely, they have so much aura and great energy, both are so easy to love. Sang Zhi is a cute character but not in a cringy way, instead that cuteness was delivered in a great way, Zhao Lusi, Chen Zheyuan, Victor Ma and the rest of the cast did a great job at portraying their characters, you could feel pain, happiness, excitement and all other feelings in the deepest way possible. FL and ML have so much chemistry, and romantic scenes were delivered really well. There is no unnecessary drama in the show but instead it reflects real life issues. I just can go on and on and on but gotta stop lol. I don't know if I can move on from this drama but to those who haven't watched it yet, just go for it!

SOFT & ADORABLE LOVE STORY

My first ever Chinese drama and after this I'm addicted to C-dramas mainly Chen Zhe yuan's all kind of work. All his other series, TV shows, his other videos, etc. I'm watching again and again for him. All the other characters also acted nicely especially Lusi and his brother combo. Whenever we feel low, we can watch this and its just simple love story only but worth watch again.

A light-hearted, beautiful, sweet drama to comfort your life!

This drama tell us the love story between Sang Zhi and Duan Jiaxu troughout the years, from a brotherhood to a romantic relationship.

This love story is extremely beautifully told, in all aspects. First: the development is slow paced (but not too much as to cause frustration) and respects each phase of their relationship. Second: the couple is mature and we aren't tortured with an imature relation filled with miscommunication. Love triangles, bad communication, breakups with dumb reasons... not in this drama! Even when the plot suggests some trouble coming into their relation, they were capable of communicate, protect each other, don't bend to other people expectation and put their love above all. Third: the love, respect and caring between the couple is evident from beginning to end, not only in words but in actions and even in how they look to each other. The scenes where they take care of each other in face of the various struggles of life are among the most beautiful and touching ones I had seen in recent dramas. Of course all this beautiful story would not be well portrayed if the actors hadn't done a wonderful job! Their acting were superb, their chemistry was incredible and their looks were a delightful for our eyes. To make everything even more appealing, a beautiful soundtrack completes the combo with the unforgetable Forever Star as a main theme. For you to not say that I don't have any criticism to the drama, I would love to see a better development to Sang Zhi's brother and Sang Zhi's friends. However I understand the focus were the main couple and these "flaws" don't affect the story, they would be just a savory plus.

A common criticism to this drama is about the age difference and the fact they know each other when Sang Zhi is underage. However the age difference is only 5 years and the drama never shows any romantic felling from Duan Jiaxu towards Sang Zhi while she is underage! The relation is 100% platonic and it causes a great suffering to Sang Zhi who firmily believes Duan Jiaxu will never be able to see her as more than his friend's little sister. So, if you were planing to watch but unsure due to this criticism, I say to you: do it! This drama is one of that gems: it brings you peace and confort and you know that, in the future, you can rewatch again and again and again when you are feelind depressed ou even when you simply miss them so much...

Enjoy this perfect drama as I enjoyed it (and as I keep enjoying as I rewatch from time to time :D)!

Chocolate covered strawberries berries

Food analogy: Rich Dark Chocolate covered fresh strawberries with drizzle of burnt caramel on top.
Just the right amount.
I am actually writing this review after my Third Rewatch.
Chinese Romance dramas tends to turn cheesy as the show progresses, but this one dragged me out of this stereotype and delivered a near perfect story.

Story: Ah, the calm. The emotional turmoil and the dedication took the cake in my POV. It is a story that you won't be able to get it out of your head and after around 10th episodes will make you feel that you know them personally.

Acting: Found my new chinese bias in this drama. ZLS was already good as I have seen her in other dramas but it was my first time seeing the ML and boy, have i watched all of his work after that. Answer is Yes.

Music: Generic but fits well. Not in my playlist.

Rewatch value: I already started the review stating that I already completed my 3rd rewatch.

Overall: deducting a 0.5 from total score, solely for tbe reason that it has set such a unrealistic standard that I am searching for all the set characters everywhere to no avial. Which proves that the men, in our imagination is very much different from real men. Sad.
