i know bjt is one of the actors we can consider good at acting in china but when they announced bjt as the male lead, i actually don't quite imagine him as sang yan because he have this sort of 'clean look'. i like that they changed his hairstyle, he gives off the vibes now – quite surprise with the resemblance.
the worry of novel readers is that the adaptations will ruin the image we have for the characters and this is what actually happens in the case of sang yan in hidden love. i only read first frost and was kinda bothered by how different sang yan is in hidden love. tho i understand that it's because it's from different perspectives as well (sang zhi's and wen yifan's), the contrast is huge that i think it's best to treat these two as non-related tbh.
i tried watching this but it is too fluffy-shoujoish for me 😭 i would enjoy it better if i were younger, when…
thankfully, i still prefer fluffiness even if i'm already on late twenties lol tho i do watch chinese historicals for some occasional dose of sadness and depression. 🥹
i've liked zy since i watched her in scent of time and so, i decided to follow her works and found this. i was actually hesitant to watch since there's a lot of review saying it's boring but i'm glad i did try, reminds me of reading pure fluff chinese novels. rather than boring, i'd say it's just free of drama. it's sooo light-hearted, a really good casual watch.
