Supporting cast Song Zi Qi was the only reason to watch this
HS drama trope overload but 2nd and 3rd pairing were entertaining to watch.FL was the typical acting like a 12 yr old without a clue & needs ML's constant support.
ML somehow liked that. This pairing has zero chemistry.
I only watch this drama for Wang Ze Xuan's supporting role as Song Zi Qi.
His character is exceptionally funny and Wang Ze Xuan is such an underrated actor. He pulls off every supporting role wonderfully. Hands down he's the only reason to watch this.
Series seriously slow down after they graduate HS and Wang Ze Xuan's scenes were limited.....leading to the expected ending.

Started well but dragged just after some episodes
Considering this show has such high rating I was really hoping for some good story with relatable or even if not relatable, characters who act with some reason.Within 10 episodes story got repeated . ML not happy that FL doesn’t speak her mind. First for other girls gifts second for changing desk.
FL whining that she can’t speak or can’t adjust!! At some point it was all repetitive and ML really changing stream from science to arts !! Like really ?? She won’t die not even suffer if she is in different class for that matter. That was my last straw. Teenagers are sometime impulsive so if they showed either his parents or teachers or FL making him realise that’s not good but instead it was showed as if it’s romantic. What are the makers showing in these dramas !!

Tricky one
I know this drama received lot of positive reviews but I feel for only me personally what has let this down is how it executives the youth style drama because youth dramas for me has been done to death with the standardove triangles, group of friends, multiple couples, Smart male lead & unintelligent normal female lead. I have seen too many of what they aired in previous youth dramas hence dropped it.For me it just loses points because I have seen this all before & Chen Zheyuan has 2 more upcoming youth dramas with Shen Yue & Zhao Lusi.
Did I like the characters? Yes, I am prepared to give each more chances with other Dramas. The support cast I felt little prescense.

too short! i will never move on from this series.
I'm only in episode 13 but so far I loved every bit of this series. I love the cast, ding xian is soooo adorable. The ml is so good looking oh my lord, i love the side characters so in short I love this series so much. Actually, I don't really like these type of series but I guess I love them now! boy I regret saying that in the past 😭😭 This series made me feel nostalgic about high school and made me want to experience it again. if ever i finished this, I will never get to move on, The story was perfect, I got hooked on to it from the first episode to last but they should've made it longer 😭😭The cast was perfect, the chemistry between the leads is so good, and also the other couples too.
The plot is not unique but still I loved it. I'd say i would rewatch this a lot in the future until I get bored lol

YOUTH
I think you have to check out this drama. the plot was nice, the actor was good too. not too draggy or something like that. Until 8 episodes i don't find anything that i don't like about this drama so far. the female lead was not a typical cry baby lady. she works hard to prove her values. the male lead was not so bad too. he is helping her to solve the questions (because they're still students). i think i can expect at least 2 couples at this drama or maybe more(?). Anyway, just help yourself this drama was not too bad for you to check out.Was this review helpful to you?

24eps isn’t enough!!
A sweet love story between a shy girl & the smartest boy in class.Her family has just moved to town & she’s feeling awkward & misplaced. Thankfully, she quickly makes new friends who help her settle in at school. Much to her mother’s annoyance, though, she’s not a top student. She’d rather lose herself in her artwork than study for hours. But as she grows closer to the ML, she’s inspired to get serious about her studies & plan for the future. Her college entrance exams don’t go well, though, so she’s left behind to try again while her closest friends move onto the next phase of life. Will she be able to remain strong & keep trying when the people who helped her make it through each day are no longer by her side?
He’s always been popular & good at everything. School comes easy to him & he’s on the path to pursue his dreams at college. Those plans expand to include the FL, though, as they interact more & their feelings grow. But will their bond survive when they’re separated by distance? When familial tragedy strikes, he pushes her away in his quest to not cause her further stress. But when his efforts succeed & she no longer seeks him out, he realizes just his much he needs her. Can he win back her affection or are they destined to be just a youthful memory for one another?
This is 1 of my favorite youth dramas. They’re so flippin’ cute together! I love watching their dislike of each other turn into admiration & respect for one another. Their friendship is so beautiful & their bond so pure. I adore watching them become more than friends. The trust, the loyalty, the bff vibes… The way these two love each other is pure couple goals & what I wish every first love could be! 🫶🏻

ONE OF THE BEST YOUTH DRAMAS OF THE YEAR!!
I wasnt really expecting much from this drama when I started watching it but it turned out to be GREAT! I've re-watched it for the 3rd time now. HAHAHHAHA. I knew Siyue's actor from The Handsome Siblings, he was amazing there btw; while this is the first time im seeing Rainbow in a drama. Though I think she could still be better, I believe she did well as Ding Xian. Supporting actors and actresses were amazing too. What I liked most in this drama is their character. He wasnt that cliché genius, cold, perfect dude; and she wasnt that usual sunny, blabbermouthed, friendly, sometimes clumsy classmate. The story-telling was okay. Neither slow burn nor fast-paced. The OSTs, chef's kiss. Especially, during flashbacks and sweet moments. Anyway, this drama is a must-watch and re-watch :)Was this review helpful to you?

The best high school drama with the sweetest love
If you like high school dramas, this is. MUST WATCH!! This is my favorite high school drama!! Our Secret is one of those rare dramas that doesn’t try to be loud, dramatic, or artificially intense and that’s precisely why it works so beautifully.Zhou Si Yue is one of my all-time favorite male lead. He’s intelligent, confident, and effortlessly charming but never arrogant. What makes him special is how clear and intentional he is with Ding Xian, being such a green flag but with his own swagger and charm. From early on, his interest isn’t vague or confusing. It’s steady. Protective. Gentle. He is soo swoon worthy!!
He teases her, supports her, notices her in ways that feel deeply personal.
Ding Xian is soft-spoken but never weak. She’s thoughtful, disciplined, and emotionally sincere. What’s beautiful is how her love unfolds naturally, not through dramatic realizations, but through shared moments, trust, and emotional safety.
The chemistry between Zhou Si Yue and Ding Xian is understated but powerful. It’s in:
the glances that linger half a second too long.
the way he always shows up when she needs him.
Nothing feels forced. Nothing feels rushed. Their bond feels earned.
The high school portion is the soul of this drama. It’s pure, sweet, and quietly unique, the kind of first love that feels innocent without being naive.
There’s no cheap angst, no love triangles dragging things down but instead spices things up and steadies Zhou si yue's feelings for ding Xian! I love his cute jealous scenes.
What makes Our Secret special is its emotional honesty. It trusts the audience to notice small things. It doesn’t over-explain. It lets love unfold naturally, calmly, and sincerely. This drama isn’t just perfection, but also a picture of comfort, nostalgia, and first love bottled perfectly.

A must watch drama
After a long time feeling bad for finishing the drama. At least another 6 episodes was expected. A heart touching drama with too emotional.Both ML and FL are really did their job well and both are too good looking and have very good chemistry. Especially the FL her acting skills are way beyond my expectations and her cute smile is soo refreshing. I must appreciate the whole crew who worked for this drama, all characters did their job well, they contributed their full talent.
Key points:- No negative characters, fair love challenge, no too much controversies, cute and heart touching love story and too sentimental final episodes.

a rare 10 for me.
Very sweet high school to college story about desk mates who ultimately fall in love. Seen many high school dramas. This is slow paced but doesn't drag and not boring. My first time watching FL actress. She does a wonderful job. ML actor is obviously very talented -- I have seen him in several shows and he hits it out of the park every time. Secondary cast did a nice job for what they were given. Not to say it wasn't good, but the primary cast is the reason to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
