It’s good. It’s not for everyone because of the pace, but the pace is pretty good to explain how they purely…
Viewers need to understand that the pace in this drama is very crucial n the development of the main leads feelings and growing love towards each other otherwise we will be confused of the story's progress... and i prefer the pace it is now then having to rush adulthood and romance all over places.. that's just not realistic
Slow and dull generally. Definitely overrated. For sure.
the majority has already spoken and the ratings shows it all of how we love this drama but if it's not for you then it's not for you... no need to force yourself & criticize after all we all have our own preference in romcom drama. For us Hidden Love is one of a kind , a feel good drama to watch at the end of our tiring day...
Hidden Love is S+ drama, and Lusi's character as ShangZhi broke 9 at 21times in Vlinkage with the highest 9.21 w/c sets Lusi's highest record to date, this just show you the popularity of her character ShangZhi and in Youku Hidden love exceeded 10000 popularity for 20 consecutive days. As for the story it is realistic, light plot and full of heart fluttering moments with the main leads undeniably strong chemistry ... These two main lead sets the bar in romcom a new high...
Please don't generalize HL drama rating in China just because Douban which is a toxic hate camp for Lusi in every of her drama gave a ridiculous rating.. I never cared of Douban's rating anyway but you should look at Vlinkage , Maoyan Professional data, Lighthouse data, Weibo HL topic ratings results., all these are based on real data witness from china.. Since Hidden Love started airing , this drama top high on popularity scores. Even Lusi's ShangZhi character is the fastest breaking 9 actresses in 2023 , Lusi character Vlist broke 9 at 21times , the highest 9.21 which sets the highest Vlist for Lusi to date.. Maoyan Urban drama roles in June heat TOP1 10013 . And the first week of Hidden Love dominates the whole platform with Cat's eye june urban drama popularity as the Champion, De Tavin broke 2 in 10 days, with Douyin drama topic views exceeded 10 billion ... so that's just tells you how popular this drama in China had become and on top of that it's Overseas fans gave it a big hit. In TikTok the Hidden Love steals entries got 1.9 Billion views, and Netflix got the copyright for HL to cover 190 countries and so far HL is on # 13 in Netflix Global top hit Drama. Also Youku got 4.9 million reservation for HL prior to airing , HL is youku's fastest modern rom com drama to hit popularity 10000 within a day of opening and later exceeded +10000 for 20 consecutive days. Hidden Love is currently TOP1 in Youko's modern show investment income.
It depends on your preference, it seems the majority has spoken that they love this romcom drama, light plot, easily relatable love story from a young girl's crush to adulthood development romance, plus with Lusi and Zheyuan tandem their strong undeniable off/on screen chemistry made the entire romance drama realistic. Also the OST esp. Forever Star or Lusi's songs just play perfectly in the background , and still the song continously play in my mind even when I'm not watching HL drama lol .. i listen to their OST all the time when driving my car these days despite not understanding some of their lyrics... this is definitely a drama that affect our mood while watching... I smile and my hear flutters when these two leads interact 😍 and their intimacy is on🔥makes you think they're in relationship for "real"
When I say this is a absolutely beautiful story…I mean it heart to heart. Some ppl felt a way about the FML…
Beautifully well said , I feel the same way and totally agree with your review. Your comment made me think of those sweet and heart fluttering moments between the main leads :) Thank you for sharing
Have you watched the BTS of that scene? They (read as ZLS) even considered Sangzhi “slapping” Jiangying as…
exactly right , i notice for such a young age at 24 Lusi got a lot of business endorsement and while spokeperson for big brands as well like Bulgari, guerlain , sketcher...💕 she's also spokeperson for Tencent, ... and when it comes to acting she's multi talented in every genre be it romcom, martial arts, custome historical drama, xianxia, wuxia, republican, ... she had them all . She may look innocent & a silly girl at times, but she's dead serious in her career and a business minded lady. I'm really interested how her career looks and shines brighter as she age...
Loving this drama! Super cute and fluffy. Amazing leads for both looks and acting!!I do have to get one gripe…
I dont think you would blame a 16yo girl puppy love , she is supposed to be immature at that age for anything love and any misunderstanding doesn't cost her anything since she never reveal her crush on him... But it was good for her to stay away from him after supposedly knowing that he has a "GF". She did the right thing and even more maturely admirable for her to move on and not to go after him and it even help Zhizhi mature at her age not to go after him with a GF in mind... I think that's better especially Jiaxu is living in another town ; so if Zhi puppy love on Jiaxu t was really difficult for her esp. he broke his promise to her then why would she still want to meet him and be in touch? It only shows how unselfish her feelings toward Jiaxu to even move on for Jiaxu happiness. Also don't you think it would feel awkward for Zhizhi to bother him in the presence of Jiaxu "GF" if he has? I would do the same best to keep distance from him for her own peace of mind.. and in the university she got no cellphone and she can only focus in her studies since she doesn't even know where Jiaxu location once she move to Jihe... But I always believe if fate is good to them, lovers will always meet somehow somewhere, if it's meant to be ... then they are meant to meet and become lovers 💕 that's why this show is realistic it happens in life..
Have you watched the BTS of that scene? They (read as ZLS) even considered Sangzhi “slapping” Jiangying as…
from the BTS i saw, I think Zhao Lusi has a big say of what she needs to do in the set, like for example she requested that she doesn't go look for JiangMing at the basketball court to apologize for not coming to the movie date with them, she said it would not be right to come looking for him since ZhiZhi is not even interested of him as a suitor so it should be more of a coincidence JiangMing will call her while she passed by at the basketball court he was playing... which I also agree and is actually better then in the original script.. I like her thought process :) she should be a drama producer or director too someday... but as for hand slapping isn't a good one for a sweet ZhiZhi it's more violent, a water slapping to a water slapping is much better after all she's just returning the favor of what that psycho girl did to Jiaxu lol
Still here. Still rewatching on Netflix and waiting for “new episodes”. Not interested in watching new dramas…
same here hard to let go such feel good butterfly fluttering wholesome drama , i watched entire episodes in youko and now rewatching in netflix before going to bed LOL
I really wanted to love this but something about a FL whose only focus in life is the ML doesn’t do it for me…
she's still young before Ep5, so it's all about her crush & brother bickering but later she will focus on her studies esp. after assuming her crush got a gf... but this story is all about the developments between SZ and JX love story , where it all started from high school, writing her dreams in a paper made wishing stars for her to accomplish until she graduates in the University. If you prefer to have a story where FL also focus on other supporting cast or love rivalry then this story is probably not your cuppa tea, this is about the main leads where Zhizhi is determined to fulfill her dreams and her unwavering support to Jiaxu despite against all odds esp. from age gap, family issue, office drama and one psycho admirer of Jiaxu,,,, Zhizhi's feelings for JZ can be seen all out and strong which most viewers like the most; not so much pf those misunderstanding like other drama ending up heartbreaking at most.
I think he was trying to look as if everything is going to be fine for Sang Zhi as she was so worried. After she…
Agree with that , Jiaxu cares too much of ZhiZhi that he keeps reassuring her that it's gonna be fine despite trouble ahead for not telling his buddy about their relationship .. and I like that Jiaxu kept his composure calm for Zhi, even the next day he wore a mask to avoid the bruises be seen by her , trying to show nothing happened between him and brother but nothing avoids the curious little demon lol
I guess that's what S+ drama can do with high budget, build their own house or community within the warehouse…
I agree there had been challenges when HL started filming esp. with China covid restriction at that time, but glad that this was just a romcom drama not heavy costume drama, so modern costumes, hunting for help has not been an issue for Lusi & her agency, she made things happens with her connection in the entertainment industry... Now with the Success of Hidden Love & its main characters being consistently on top of the chart in Vlinkage, Maoyan, Sine Entertainment, ... The Fruit of Labor tho it started shaky, all their hardwork paid off with the sweetest pleasure :) even before the drama was aired youko ended up almost 5M reservation. Happy for HL team
If you are looking for a drama with lots of plots this is not it. It's a very relaxing drama imo so even though…
I agree, if peeps are looking for heavy plot , hard core villain or some heavy drama that gets u some adrenalin or be disheartened then this is not for them .... this is for people who wants an easy day while your hearts flutter when watching LOL
If you wanna know how was built SZ's house, her street etc . It's a sethttps://twitter.com/outrolusi/status/1678788132488237057https://twitter.com/Princess_rosyyy/status/1678788726833696768
I guess that's what S+ drama can do with high budget, build their own house or community within the warehouse or studio for privacy of the shootings
