deeply hidden secret of a young heart...
I rarely write reviews about movies and dramas but with this one I just had to!! For the past 6 years I've seen hundreds of different dramas but there was no drama that I wanted to rewatch right after finishing it. This one is the first one!!There is just something unique about this drama, even though the short synopsis is not really that outstanding, but watching the trailer really encouraged me to start this drama. And I'm so happy I did that!!
The chemistry between the main leads got me so hooked that at some scenes I was literally screaming, laughing and punching the air (imagine that lmao). I really want to see Lusi and Zheyuan together again in a different drama, the chemistry was off the charts not only in the drama but also behind the scenes. The actress that plays little SZ is firstly soo cute but also matches the energy and character of Zhao Lusi so perfectly as if she was the real small version of her. And Sangyan!! - I've never watched any drama with this actor but from the very first episode I fell in love with him, he really played the role of a big brother so well that it made me believe he was really Lusi's real brother. The siblings duo was my favourite after the main leads of course. Also, the friendships with SZ roommates felt so real and they were always supportive of her. And the way SZ understood everything about DJX family situation and dealt with JY - this shows how mature she actually was. And the most important point is that there were actually no big problems between the main leads, they shared every single thing with each other, they relied on each other, they trusted each other, and because of this their relationship was very healthy!! ( which is rare to see in dramas)
It might seem like this is only a comfort and easy drama to watch but it is not, because it shows the reality of the relationships between people (not only love-wise but also friend-wise) we always meet struggles everywhere we go.
And for those who dropped the drama because of their age gap (in the novel the age gap was 7 years, so 5 years is not that much) + I want to remind you all that DJX fell in love with SZ when she was already an adult, so there is no problem with that and no pedophilia???
And for those who dropped the drama just after few minutes or few episodes: the worst decision you made in your life!! Never judge the book by its cover or by a few pages... I recommend you to actually watch more than just two episodes.
And finally the soundtrack!! - the music was so beautiful and so well fitted for this drama, I literally searched for every single song the instant I heard them.
Hidden Love perfectly showcases the beautiful stages of a journey of young people. Adding the amazing performance not only from the main leads but also from other actors - this story can make you sincerely laugh, cry, love, and smile!! I hope everyone who want to find comfort and genuinely feel some emotions will watch this drama <3 And I hope you will love it the same way as I did!! I'm actually so sad to say goodbye to Sang Zhi and Duan Jiaxu :(( Well done <3
