Not a bad show

Hidden Love is probably one of the most original BLs I have seen to date. I would call it a mystery romance type show because of it's complex plot with a few twists and turns. Apart from Bad Romance I haven't seen anything similar in the genre and that's what makes this show exciting and interesting. It also, low key reminds me of Until We Meet Again where we go on this journey with the characters and find out about their past and what happened to them.

The acting in this show is pretty good. I have no major complaints. The two mains Kim and Tha did lack intimacy at times that to be honest, I couldn't really believe that they liked each other or that they were together (2gether 2.0). Wit and Win the ghosts were much more interesting and believable as a couple in this show and made the show. The show has a good amount of humour which worked most of the time. Other times it was corny but it was definitely a style the director was going for.

Parts of the show did drag out a lot and there were quite a few replay scenes that weren't necessary. I honestly think it could have been done in 10 episodes instead of 14 and it would have made a greater impact. There also quite a few plot holes one of them major one which made me wonder if I missed some scenes where the characters lost their memory. Some scenes/episodes felt quite disjointed from each other where what was established changed in a weird way.

Also, people did complain about the special effects but to me it was good and served it's purpose, especially for the budget of this show.

I don't want to spoil anymore but I would recommend this show if you're looking for something that's less feel good but not your average BL. I wasn't blown away by the BL portion but nonetheless it's satisfying show.
