Too Short for Short Series
Overall, I truly enjoyed this series, but its short runtime, just six episodes ranging from six to ten minutes each, ultimately works to its detriment. The pacing feels far too rushed, leaving little room to connect with the main character or absorb the emotional weight of the story. As a result, the narrative lacks emotional stakes, and it’s difficult to feel genuinely invested in the characters.There was so much potential in the direction the storyline was heading, especially with the various possible outcomes, whether a happy ending, a bittersweet one, or even a sad conclusion. Unfortunately, the brevity of the series undercuts that potential, wish it would turn into a full-blown series.
That said, the cast delivers strong performances, and the music and cinematography are definitely highlights

Another Secret of Us Project
This story was actually pretty good. The characters were well played, the acting was good and so was the music. We even got all the episodes without a pay wall.The only issue I have with this is the issue I have with all of the Secret of Us projects. The plots in these stories need more buildup time. I'm aware it must be a budget thing, as well as the ongoing censorship (hence why they shoot all these projects in Japan) but without better detailing, these lukewarm endings feel rushed & half baked.
I've seen vertical dramas with deeper character development & internal conflict. However, this one is definitely the best of several that I've seen.

BEAUTIFUL! IT WAS SHORT BUT ENJOYABLE!
I like this series it was a bit short on the episodes but overall, it was worth the time. All the actors were pretty and handsome. I like how straight-forward it was bruh no intro no outro just the thing you want to watch.The ending was cool it was a cliffhanger but a realistic ending in a sense that not all love is meant to be a happy ending.
The continuation is that he got to the airport and said goodbye to his little brother then many years later. His brother married his girlfriend and had a child then lived happily ever after. 🥰😍🥳🥳

Sacrifice
A story about sacrificing your love for the other to be happy.It's a sweet drama, but it was too short, because of that the story felt unfinished. There were to many holes in the story, and scene's felt unfinished.
The visuals were great and the music was ok.
The actors did a good job and the chemistry and kises were good.

hope to see the actors in something else
Overall: did not vibe with the plot. 6 episodes about 8 minutes each. Aired on Secret of Us YouTube Official https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7BSona1dmx5qAPZpNNjT9XEv_wyP_HzT&si=ouK5zhi2gVdEigwNNote: in the trailer a character said they weren't related by blood, so they are step brothers who appear to have been raised together since elementary school aged based on that picture
Content Warning: manipulation
What I Liked
- the dreams
- visuals
- the younger character's plotting in the beginning*
Room For Improvement
- *he was way too manipulative later on, even when he came clean I didn't trust him
- the older guy was shown to be extremely straight and then the sudden 180 turn and open ending did not work for me

POTENCIAL NEGLIGENCIADO
Esse projeto foi melhor do que eu esperava, mas teve um óbvio negligenciamento na hora de ser feito.Essa é uma série extremamente curta que foca no amor romântico que um irmão postiço sente pelo outro. No começo vemos como um se sente e o outro não desconfia e nem aparenta sentir nada, afinal, ele é hétero, mas depois quando o mais velho descobre que seu irmão é gay ele passa a ter uma namorada, o que é um comportamento contraditório e evitativo, e o outro obviamente sofre muito com isso.
Conforme a história avança eu me senti cada vez mais desconfortável com o irmão mais novo apaixonado porque ele soava estranho e inconveniente na maior parte do tempo em prol da obsessão pelo irmão. Ele estava constantemente sufocando seu irmão mais velho, havia muita tensão no ar.
No final ele amadurece levemente e é ai que as coisas realmente mudam, mas a duração do projeto é tão limitada que ficou superficial.
Essa é uma história realmente interessante que merece um remake com mais episódios e um tempo maior para trabalhar. Os atores fizeram um ótimo trabalho dentro do possível (principalmente o irmão mais velho).

A história tem um potencial tremendo, mas o curto espaço que nos é permitido acompanhar, deixa o rastro do que poderia ser..O irmão mais velho, protetor, que cuida do irmão mais novo mais do que a si mesmo, e o mais novo, que tem a tempestade silenciosa no peito e anseia pelo amor romântico do irmão nominal.
Ambos sofrem a sua maneira. Enquanto o mais novo sofre pela aproximação do irmão com a namorada e vivenciando sua vida de faculdade, o mais velho se priva também quando descobre os sentimentos do irmão mais novo.
Aquele amargor no peito vai crescendo lentamente em nós, telespectadores, torcendo para que a história não seja trágica.
O mais novo, imaturo, tenta afastar a namorada, porque já perdeu tudo, não queria perder a única pessoa que sempre esteve ao lado dele. O rosto pálido da história contada pelo "Ge Ge" começa a transparecer nos dois.
O mais novo rompe, o mais velho sofre, ainda é amor de irmão?
As atuações são ótimas, ambos conseguiram expressar cada etapa do sentimento que seus personagens vivenciavam.
Gostaria de ver mais..
