The purest Love Story of them all
I have been watching kdrama, twdrama, kdrama & cdrama since 2008 & this is the sweetest, loveliest & squee worthiest drama, I've seen in a really long time. It made my heart feel so warm & fuzzy. The male lead is extremely charming & charismatic, the female lead is as cute as newborn puppy but turns into a wild cat when it comes to protecting her loved one.The acting was really great & there was nothing toxic, dramatic or overly exciting BUT I still enjoyed every minute of it, because the potrayal of this young love made me just giddy & happy.
Just do yourself a favor, watch it now.

Every now and then,, you just need a great chick flick!
This review has germinated for several months. Why? For me, the real test of a film that just makes your heart happy is tied to sustaining that viewing after viewing. "Hidden Love" as a script far exceeded the original story by adding character depth, a first love romance that most women remember, with ML/FL actors that fill the screen with emotion and...let's be honest, amazing visuals....but it was more than that. The entire cast ensemble created a story synergy filling in all the spaces in a series of interwoven plotlines with a director's sequence expertise that is missing in most dramas.The relationships of siblings, parents, friends, and those college roommates we all had that have remained in our lives since our first dormitory room long ago. Scriptwriters who bring humor, sadness, conflict, and growing pains into each episode are rare in modern dramas but fortunately for the producers of Hidden Love, they took you on a concurrent journey through the storyline and our memories of similar moments in our coming of age from high school through our college years.
I could spend time exploring the chemistry among Zhoa Lusi, Victor Ma, and Chen Zheyuan, but each episode pretty much speaks for itself as we travel through the years watching the dynamics of these three grow individually as people and together in romance, friendship, and as siblings. An older brother protecting you growing up creates a very special bond that transcends time. The heartbreak of thinking our first love "couldn't wait for us to grow up" before finding someone was a sequence of emotional events that was handled so realistically you could feel her despair right along with her. The only aspect of this drama I would have to say I found disappointing was when it ended without a clear possibility for a follow-up season.
The story of this drama would be incomplete without congratulating the marking team who created a BTS series of videos that kept viewers engaged between episodes and added depth to the drama in getting to know the detailed work that went into the final product. Watching actors having fun while focused on their craft and supporting one another is rare. Those captured moments made each actor shine as people versus only seeing them in the roles they are portraying. I have watched this drama several times and purchased it for special friends who I know will be drawn into many of the college antics pulling from the collective memory of my college roommates and classmates. Happy Viewing--Hope

This drama is cute and wholesome.
Most of the dramas I watched have a tendency to have some toxic/red flag behaviors from some of its characters and I find that annoying. So watching Hidden Love where there are no red flags/ toxic characters is just a breath of fresh air for me.This drama really moved me, made me laugh and cry and gave me a lot of fun while I was watching. The acting was on point. The actors are great. What I like about this drama is that it doesn't have so much conflict that's why you will just enjoy watching it, giggling overtime, laughing, and feeling all the cuteness in every scene. In short for me this drama is an escape from my reality. It reminds me of what young first love feels like. The male lead was not only goodlooking but he also played his character well. Whenever he looked at the FL, it gave me butterflies. And the Female lead played her character so well, too. It was such a refreshing series.Would I recommend it? Definitely. From all the ones I'm watching it was the only one that made me laugh and love little moments that I would rewind just to get a little bit more. I'm very glad I watched this drama and you should give it a chance too.

This is what you called a TOP TIER SERIES
This is the classic romance series yet the execution was just so fkcing good! Everything was perfect.Lusi and Zheyuan put their blood,sweat and tears for this drama likeee?? They're chemistry is servingg.
Now for the plot, i think people would easily misunderstood it if they don't watch the show especially with the ml meeting fl when she was a kid, however it was done perfectly and i feel like people who misunderstood it either watch the show with eyes close or just saw people hating on it and decided to join them. (Also there was even a scene in the show where they explained that if he ml likes the fl since she was a kid then he have a fcking problem).
The music was soooo fkng good likee, it was the first time i ever put a song from a series in my spotify list.
I'on even wanna talk about the acting cause one look at that series and you would knoww that they are doing it great. Also i love the micro details.
The rewatch value is definitely high for me because why not?? Everything is perfect, the way both the main lead and support lead act, the chemistry, the little details, the execution and pacing of the story, and last but not the least the music.
SO IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A SERIES WITH MINIMAL ANGST OR NOT EVEN EXISTING THEN THIS SERIES IS PERFECT FOR YOU. HOWEVER IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A ROMANCE WITH ANGST OR ACTION THEN THIS SERIES TARGET AUDIENCE ISNT YOU.

A cute romance that doesn't feel ankward!
I went into this show already feeling skeptical, because our leads first meet when Sang Zhi was still a child and Duan Jiaxu already a university student. The writer did however an excellent job.Sang Zhi fell for Jiaxu from their first meeting. Jiaxu only saw Sang Zhi as a younger sister he should protect.
They lost touch and met again when Sang Zhi was in university herself.
That's when they get close again and Duan Jiaxu slowly starts to see Sang Zhi from a different point of view. Sang Zhi is now a grown-up and shows her MATURITY numerous times by being there for Jiaxu and protecting him at all costs.
Their relationship is like a blooming flower. They have a beautiful bond and you'll see many sweet scenes.
When Sang Zhi's family finds about their relationship - keep in mind the 5 year difference. Duan Jiaxu does all he can to receive Sang Zhi's family's approval and the way both Zhi and Jiaxu treat this issue show immense maturity.
The ending was beautiful to watch. The leads had amazing chemistry, the story was beautiful... everything was beautiful overall.
So yes, don't be shy and give this show a try. Who knows?

These drama is a GEM. The romance between then is the cutest I seen; it explores the main characters personality, background, and just how to came together and support each other! Both of the character have depth and FINALLY A FEMALE LEAD THAT KNOWS HOW TO STAND UP FOR THE MALE LEAD!! LIKE YASSS QUEEN!!
The actors did a great job and I become a fan! There acting was so good, it make me think if they are lowkey a couple in real life because how can you be these cute!!!
My favoriate song was "Forever Star" in the drama and it's very catchy! The other songs, I don't remember much of, but they were decent.
Overally, I would go back to it just to watch for comfort and the romance <3 10/10.

It's was so heartwarming !!!
She fell first ,he fell harder ...I'm usually not a fan of having a crush on brother's best friend ,but jiaxu was such a green flag throughout. He was so kind and considerate of her at every point and they were both so good to each other. The chemistry is fire... And the story and all the relationship progress was so tastefully done . All the supporting characters were great , sang zhi's parents and here relationship with her brother were so wholesome and sometimes all you want is to watch something very sweet that makes you believe in love again ❤️.
Absolutely worth watching!!!
I might re-watch the episodes from after they got together :)
