One of the Most Favorite in lifetime
First of all,The script is the main point and really a good one.
It is not only a romantic drama ,
can also feel love and warmth between family ,siblings and friends.
Chan Zheyuan as Duan JiaXu and
Zhao Lusi as Sang Ji , that visual couple is really perfect match and meant for each other.
Relationship between Sang Ji and her brother,
friendship between Sang Yang and Duan JiaXu really hit my heart.
Althought it's ended , I can't move on from this drama and it will always be the most favorite of my lifetime.
I want to say this drama is happy pill for unhealthy soul.

my fav novel became my fav drama ♡
Words are not enough to express how much I love this drama.I am very excited every time I get new news about the making of this drama until it is broadcast and until it ends.
Before the filming process for this drama, I had finished reading the original novel, so I know how the author carefully arranges an innocent puppy love story to turn it into an adult love story.
I am very satisfied with the drama's cast, all of them are very suitable, especially Zhao Lusi as Sang Zi, Chen Zheyuan as Duan Jiaxu, and Victor Ma as Sangyan.
I'm glad that this drama is following the original novel, with a perfect story, a very beautiful ost, and a cast that fits the characters. I would say Hidden Love is one of my favorite dramas of all time!♡

Like A Warm, Comforting Hug. Worth The Hype!
This Chinese drama shall go down as a modern day classic.It has a relatively simple story, but the execution is marvellous. The casting is on point and all the characters were brought to life so incredibly well. Every single song in the soundtrack is lovely and fitting. The plot and premise of this drama is fairly straight-forward but perhaps that is what makes it so brilliant. It is realistic, relatable, and immersive. Slowly but steadily, Hidden Love will blossom in your heart as you watch the ML and FL's relationship grow, transform, and mature.
There are many similar productions that I would've rated a solid 8/10, but Hidden Love just feels too special. There is not an ounce of artificiality or overstatement. I laughed, I cried, I felt their heartbreaks, and I felt their ecstatic moments too. This drama also contained hands down THE cutest drunk FL scene I have ever witnessed, plus many other scenes that were so adorable, funny, and heartwarming that I rewound multiple times.
This drama will remind you what it feels like to love, and to be loved.

This drama is so freaking amazing. The high rating is accurate.
I was not prepared for how much I was going to love this drama. The way the story is told is so beautiful. I love the characters, the acting, the music, the scenery. It was funny, sweet, heart-warming. I had to pause some scenes to process how good they were and how good the acting was and to grab some tissues. I absolutely love this couple. I'm gonna have to watch it again, because I'm not ready to move on from these characters. The main couple, the brother, his college friends, San Zhi's roommates. I loved them all. Absolutely one of my top favorite dramas now. Highly highly highly recommend.Was this review helpful to you?
Always a must watch!
DANG, IT! I loved this drama! I couldn't wait for every 5 episodes to be out on Netflix so I just binged watched it on Dramacool and I'm glad I did. This drama was sweet all the way. Not even any breakup scene. YAH!The couples are soooooooooooo cute together! I love that we showed him starting to have feelings for her and wanting to woo her. I loved every episode of it. Made me laugh, cry, and just happy all the way!
The acting was amazing all the way! And honestly, 5 years isn't bad at all. Trust me. I looooved both ML and FL. They worked perfectly and adorably together.
Honestly, I loved everything about this whole drama. It was so adorable to see the two lead together. You can tell there was so much chemistry happening, even down to all the kissing scenes!

Classic Rom-com
This cute love story has 3 arcs as to when SZ met DJX: middle school, HS and College. The pre-teen yrs to teenage was shown from ep 1-7 where she displays puppy love/crush. Ep 7-25 is the adult arc. They met again when SZ is already an adult and attended university in DJX hometown. This drama depicts one-sided hidden love on SZ side. Just to be clear they got together when she was of legal age.How is this different from other rom-com or coming of age dramas:
- focus briefly on school but instead the challenges of young love
-pure and innocent love that flourished to real love
- matured teenager, she basically knows what she is fighting for but at the same time she is not aggressive.
Pros:
ahhh-mazing chemistry of the leads, sibbling and family relationships
ML background did not lead him to go astray but responsible and loving
Great acting, directing and novel adaptations
Cons:
As much as I love ZLS, the first 7 episodes where she is acting as a teenager still attached to her stuff toys with her childish vocals was quite overdone. Not sure if it’s per the novel or director’s call. But her character devt was amazing.

“Our story begins when he was 22 and ends when I was 22.” – Sang Zhi
*** Spoiler Alert (PERSONAL FEEDBACK)Title : Hidden Love – 2023 (Complete 25 Episode)
Personal Rating : 10/10
“Our story begins when he was 22 and ends when I was 22.” – Sang Zhi
One of the best modern dramas and power couple. Their chemistry is top notch, and their acting was so natural. ❤️
Sang Zhi (Played by Zhao Lusi) is smart, pretty, kind, bit spoiled and immature (when she was a kid). And have a big crush on her brother’s best friend Duan Jia Xu.
Duan Jia Xu (Played by Chen Zhe Yuan) is handsome, smart, kind, hardworking and best friend of Sang Yan (Sang Zhi’s older brother)
The story is a about a girl who have a big crush and hidden love with his older brother’s best friend. Chen Zhe Yuan met Sang Zhi when she was still in the 8th grade. She needed help from his real brother but instead Chen Zhe Yuan helped her and pretended to be Sang Yan.
Then, they met again when she was in 11th grade and from then onwards, she started to like him. She wanted to attend Chen Zhe Yuan university to be closer to him. Before Sang Zhi graduated from high school, she heard the news that Chen Zhe Yuan had got a girlfriend. She felt heartbroken and betrayed since they promised each other that when he got a girlfriend he would inform her, from that point she let go of her feelings to Chen Zhe Yuan till they met again when she became an adult.
When she became an adult, she felt like whatever feeling he had for Chen Zhe Yuan is still there, she never forgets him, she loves him deeply to the point that she wishes that he will never be alone, and she will be always on his side.
At first Chen Zhe Yuan didn’t have the same feeling for Sang Zhi since he treated her as a little sister. And they have a 5-year age gap. But when they started to hang out together, he fell in love with her kindness and protectiveness. He felt like he could not accept someone to be with Sang Zhi other than him, so he started courting her. And of course, they ended up being together.
Overall, Hidden Love is my number 1 modern drama as of today, it was pure innocent love for me. The story may have ups and downs but still it is not as scheming, and tragic as other dramas can be. I love how Sang Zhi is so protective with Chen Zhe Yuan and how Chen Zhe Yuan will do everything for Sang Zhi. Others may find it awkward since Chen Zhe Yuan knew Sang Zhi when she was still in 8th grade and there is a 5-year age gap but heeeeellloooo!!!!!! What is wrong in 5 years age gap? If it is pure, kind love there is nothing wrong with it. I watched this drama more than 5 times. It is so refreshing, so natural and so addicting. Definitely worth watching if you like a light, pure, from teenage to adulthood love story! ❤️
GENRE – Modern, Romantic, Comedy,
OST – You Are My Only Wish by Zhang Bichen & I Have Someone I Like by Zhao Lusi ( so addicting!!! )
CAST – Zhao Lusi, Chen Zhe Yuan

The most anticipated C-romcom
I wrote this review because i love it this drama so much.Zhao lusi is my bias, but i also like chen zhe yuan’s character duan jia xu… i love that both of them are perfect sang zi and duan jia xu. Producer was doing the great job to cast them both.
I suggest the new watchers to give it a try at least until FL grew up on ep.8… everything will be very beautiful from there onwards especially when ML fell hard for her. You will experience a beautiful love story that make you feel giggle, fluffy feelings and sweet.

Worth the watch
Perfect Summer time drama! So sweet. ZLS finally found her match in an actor who can turn on the puppy charm. CZY really has the most expressive face and able to convey those tender emotions without looking effeminate. Director did perfect castin this time. All the supporting actors were great, especially the older brother as well as the rommies in college. It's such a pity that the detractors of the drama made a big stink about the age difference without watching the drama through. It's actually very well handled and even mentioned outright and it does show the FL growing more mature to meet the ML at his level. Kudos to ZLS for being able to convey both innocence and maturity all at the same time.Was this review helpful to you?
surprisingly good
Having watched #HiddenLove brought back a lot of youthful memories. I remember having a huge crush on my best friend’s older brother in secret and the giggly feelings .The story of Hidden Love is so heartwarming and lighthearted at the same time. I love the goodness shown in this drama that when you are well loved you pay it forward too. Moreover I just love the family dynamics as well as how SZ developed into a mature young lady. Both Zhao Lusi and Chen Shueyan delivered their portrayal of their respective role effectively plus Victor Ma wow what a pleasant surprise he did great too!
THE LOVE STORY! What can I say ‘chef’s kiss’ . I wish everybody can have this type of loving and healthy relationship .
I highly recommend this drama and it’s a drama for all ages👌🏻👌🏻
