Beautiful Secret is a Chinese drama that falls short on almost every aspect. Some will still enjoy it though, especially if you are a fan of Peter Ho or Song Victoria. In a nutshell: Story: - Illogical and frustrating, filled with stupid character decisions. - Most of the characters are disgusting people that will make you unable to feel any empathy for them. - Product placement is completely out of control - they are literally hanging bottles of booze from trees... - The story relies heavily on juvenile misunderstandings and medical emergencies to create drama. - Even the romantic scenes offer nothing new & original, it just repeats stereotypical "sweet scenes". Acting/cast: - From bird feather bowties to t-shirts two sizes too small - Peter Ho's styling is absolutely atrocious!!! :D - 80% of the actors have difficulty conveying emotions, especially crying scenes can get cringy. - Peter Ho was quite good, but unfortunately his character has been written as shallow and boring. - The combination of less than stellar acting combined with bad writing doesn't really create an enjoyable or immersive experience. Music: - Considering this drama has a lot to do with music they really half-assed it. The main character supposedly has a beautiful voice, but it's nothing special in my opinion. She sings the same song again and again. - The other songs in the drama are nothing special, but since there are no horrible songs in the OST it's pretty average and ok. Rewatch: - There is no way in hell I'm rewatching this. There were a few romantic scenes I enjoyed, but the writing of this drama made me unable to enjoy it overall. Overall: - Stay away from this drama if you hate bad writing, stereotypical plots and below average acting. - Watch this if you are a fan of the actors or if you aren't too worried about silly drama plots.
