Hidden Love Episode 1 Reactions
Now I know why the drama is called hidden love. I mean, their love started like a brother and sister relationship, but not about genetics.

A soft, warm, and nostalgic start that pulls you in instantly. The chemistry is already brewing, making it impossible to stop watching!

The way tiny Sang Zhi has the whole world wrapped around her little finger 🤭 I know some people complained about the actress being too young for the part but I really don't feel that way. Not only is it made quite clear throughout the episode that Sang Zhi looks young & small for her age, but also this young actress has such a natural talent that it would have been a shame not to keep her ! I'm glad she plays tiny Sang Zhi here and would really love to see her working with Zhao Lusi again, hopefully as sisters 💜I'm currently watching her in Will Love in Spring were she plays a tiny Niaoniao, seems to me like Fate is at work here sending some not so cryptic signal 😏✨

I had high expectations for this and it does not disappoint me. I'm an original manhua fan, and honestly, I was kinda scared to have such high hope but it exceeded my expectation. The actors all did really well, not just the main couples but all the support roles and the cute brother of Sang Zhi. Really enjoying it.

Very heartwarming episode. Takes me back to my teen days and my innocent crushes . I can still remember the feeling so I can easily empathize with Sang zhi .

There was nothing wrong with the acting or production. However, I am that kind of person who likes to get to the good part of a love story so I ended up skipping most of this scene.

I don't know how directors can find such amazing artists. every role played well by all artist. Zhao Lusi played a very good role, she was pretty, cute, funny, and very suitable to be Sang Zhi. Chen Zheyuan's role is also very good as Duan Jiaxu. I really really like the drama, the novel and the Manhua are very good, this drama is also very good.

The first episode was superbly acted. After this one, the drama took a dump. The worse overacting of someone young. Disappointing.

Cute beginning.
Don't skip the end snippet before end credits when little demon is lying in her bed hugging her teddy bear and wondering how to spell the name Duan Jiaxu. These snippets at the end of episodes, after a few pictures that look like episode is over, are a sort of game for audiences : find out where they ought to fit in the episode!

Love, love it. They changed a bit from the novel and started the first episode with the move. The past and young SZ were mostly flashbacks. It worked well. Really loving this drama. Best adaptation ever!
