A Drama That Broke My Heart in the Best Way
I love this show!! Hidden Love is one of my favorites, and Zhao Lusi is one of my favorite actresses. I love the chemistry between the ML and FL, and I also love how this drama shows that love takes time.I felt so bad for the FL when she thought the ML had a girlfriend—her tears broke my heart into pieces. I do think she made a healthy choice by trying to move on, but I don't think cutting him off completely was the best decision. Still, it all worked out in the end.
The ML also really touched my heart, especially when he was working and started crying. I just wanted to hug him, especially when he was heartbroken over his dad’s death. It really tugged at my heartstrings.
However, the stalker-like character who kept blaming him for his father’s mistakes made me so angry. She clearly needed help, and I’m glad the FL pointed out that she was mentally unwell.
Other than that, this drama was so cute and heartwarming. It shows how love can develop in the most unexpected places. I also loved the family aspect—especially her brother and parents. It made the show even better. I love how it shows strong family bonds and how family tries to understand each other even when they disagree.
I also really enjoyed the sibling dynamic. Even though they acted like they hated each other, it was very funny and realistic. They did a great job portraying it.
Overall, this was a great drama!!!!

My First C-Drama: Derailment
I loved this!! It was my first C-drama. There are many plot twists throughout the show. I just wished there were more romantic scenes and some parts felt a bit slow.Though the character development is really good, especially with the main character, which I loved! I also liked how the story progressed and how well the plot built up. However, the ending felt really fast and abrupt, which was a little disappointing because the overall plot was so strong.
Other than that, the villain is so chilling and the show keeps you guessing till the end. Great drama!

I don't know if I will finish this??
I just don't know if I can continue watching this drama. It was so good at the beginning, but then it kind of fell off.The beginning had such a strong story, and the main couple had really strong interactions. It made me sad because I really thought it was going somewhere great.
I also felt so sorry for the ML—he deserved so much better. That’s part of why the FL started to annoy me. I understood some of her actions, but in a lot of moments, the way she treated him was frustrating to watch.
I find all the characters annoying because they refuse to communicate or talk things through. It feels like the story will stay stuck, then suddenly blow up for no reason. That made the show really frustrating for me.
The FL never seems to want to talk or communicate, and the same goes for the ML. I just don't know if I can continue watching, and honestly I'm not sure if I will finish it.

A Drama I Can Rewatch Again and Again
This drama is pure comfort and laughter! It's one of those shows I can rewatch anytime I need something fun and light-hearted. The side characters are hilarious—especially Chubby. He cracked me up in every scene!I also LOVED Lu Sicheng's flirty personality. The main couple's chemistry was adorable! I love a drama with good side couples, and this show did not disappoint. They were so cute too.
Easily one of my favorite shows!!!!!
I can see how this drama might not be everyone's favorite because it can be a little cringe at times, but I found it really funny. I also thought the storyline was interesting because I had never watched a show like this before, so it felt fresh and unique to me.
Overall, I found this drama entertaining, heartwarming, and incredibly fun to watch.

This was so Good!!
This was my first historical drama, and I absolutely loved it!!!!!The ML and FL are so good! Their chemistry is beautiful, and I love how both of them are strong and able to hold their own. The FL is also hilarious and adorable, especially when it comes to her love of food and wine. The ML is incredibly cool as well.
Though I have to mention the Empress. The actress did such an amazing job that she made me hate the character so much. The Empress was incredibly annoying and evil, which just shows how well the role was played.
The Gentleman was also horrible. The way he acted at the beginning had me completely fooled. The fact that he cared more about himself than everyone else was just plain evil. In my opinion, there is no excuse for what he did. Only a coward would make the choices he made.
Overall, I loved this drama and would highly recommend it. The characters, chemistry, and story made it a fantastic first historical drama for me.

I was disappointed
I might be too attached to Hidden Love, so I was very disappointed with this drama. Though I will say that I liked the story idea, I just found the show very slow and boring. Sure, there were parts where it got exciting, but I found the FL annoying because she kept refusing to open up to the ML, even after everything he did for her. I felt like the ML deserved better.I was especially frustrated because it felt like the FL wasn't developing as a character at all and was actually getting worse as the story went on. I kept waiting for the FL to grow from her experiences, but each time it seemed like she was about to open up, she pulled away again.
I also found the side characters boring and lacking personality. I'm not saying they were terrible—there were some really funny and cute moments between them. I just found their storylines confusing and boring, and they felt too slow for me. I really love shows with strong side characters, but this drama just wasn't doing it for me.
Of course, this is only my opinion, but I found this drama boring, lacking in character development, and ultimately disappointing. I can understand why some people enjoy this drama, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.
