Our Secret (2021)

Ding Xian and Zhou Siyue's Heartfelt Journey in a Captivating Coming-of-Age Romance

Ding Xian's character evolution from a seemingly directionless follower to someone with newfound purpose added a touching layer to the story. Her relationship with her mother, initially a source of exasperation, became a testament to the resilience of family bonds.

Zhou Siyue, the epitome of the perfect male lead, surprised me with his depth. The narrative skillfully navigated his character through the challenges of familial adversity, revealing a vulnerability that humanized him beyond his initial persona. This twist in his story made him not just a typical "ideal" male lead but a character with substance.

The coming-of-age theme was expertly woven into the fabric of the drama, capturing the essence of youthfulness, dreams, and growth. Chen Zheyuan's portrayal, undoubtedly a standout, brought a charming authenticity to the character, and Rainbow Xu's performance complemented the narrative beautifully.

As the story unfolded from deskmates and neighbors to lovers, the progression felt natural, allowing the audience to witness the genuine development of a heartfelt connection. Watching this drama ignited a desire for a connection as genuine and heartfelt as the one depicted, making it not just a show but a resonant experience that lingered in my thoughts.

an amazing and cute drama

Firstly, I have to say that my love for this drama is so huge. Ding Xian and Siyue are my comfort characters. They’re both so encouraging and supportive towards each other, showering each other with love and kindness. No matter what happen, trust Ding Xian to be there for Siyue and Siyue for Ding Xian. If that isn’t love, I’m not sure what is.

I really love the entire plot, even during the middle. It is not draggy or rushed which most dramas tend to make a mistake in. Yet, you get to see their stories in the different stages in life. Even though there were time skips, they were used nicely for us to move forward into the timeline.

Xu Mengjie and Chen Zheyuan are super adorable and portrayed the characters well. They are in their 20s yet I never questioned their ages in the drama when they were in high school. I like their chemistry together, Ding Xian and Siyue really were best friends and it was naturally shown by the casts.

The other casts also did well Wang Zexuan, Wang Yilan and Fan Zhixin!!! I honestly would want to see more of Kong Shadi and Song Ziqi though, they’re both so cute too. They grew up together and were by each other’s sides throughout their entire life, which is sweet really. Though they have different personalities, they are a really cute and somewhat compatible couple.

The OSTs are so goooood, I’ve been listening to it everyday ever since I started the drama. It is THAT good. They are also used very nicely throughout the drama to bring out the different emotions and mood of the drama!

This is definitely a drama I would rewatch when I’m down, as there are many quotes in this drama which is relatable. Not only do they comfort the characters, I also felt comforted through this drama, as if there are people who know my struggles and hardships and are cheering for me.

Do give this drama a try! Though its genre is romance, it is not a cliche nor predictable. It’s a light hearted drama which touches on relatable issues faced by high schoolers. I really love this drama so much and hope others will enjoy it too! ❤️

It captivated my heart and mind

Though its a simple school youth drama but it addressed a lot of issue each of us face during our high school days. The challenges we face, trying to know ourselves better, trying to be a better person, trying to become the child that your family would be proud of, trying to make friend and to fit it. So much to do in so little time. So blur yet we like to pretend that we have it together and we can do it!

I really see myself in some part this drama.
I especially love the FL, Xu mengjia. She did a wonderful job on Ding Xian. I love her smiles ,her timidity and courage that happens all at the same time always. She really warms my heart. No matter how big the challenge, she always master up the courage to take the first step to do what is within her capacity at that moment and slowly build herself closer towards her dreamed destination. I totally relate to this. It reminded me of my youthful days.

The ML did a good job too. Man usually have a difficult time trying to express their feelings but in this drama the ML is charming due to his confidence in knowing himself better, knowing what he is capable of and knowing what he wants. Setting his eyes on the prize. And he was sure he likes the FL a lot and never hesitate to show his concern and care.

I didn't remember how i came about watching this drama, i usually don't like to watch school youthful drama regardless of how high the rating is but i am very glad i watched this and i watched it twice back to back! This is my first watching a drama back to back from beginning to the end and still feel that its such a good watch.

There isn't too much kissing and cheesy scene like all the recent Cdrama that really is empty and not worth the time spend. I usually drop them after 2 to 3 ep cos its such a waste of time.

A big applause to the Producer and production team! The plot, script are not draggy or too hasty.

Really recommend you to watch it when you are feeling down or lonely. It will pick you up and warms your heart.

#OurSecretLeadsIntoMerits

It's a school romance drama which started being a deskmate turned into a soulmate. This drama kinda remind me of the one iconic taiwanese drama of 2005 "It Started With A Kiss" which the ML was also the most genius in school and eventually turned out to be the tutor of the FL. But anyway, they are totally different😁. I'm really not into this kind of genre but this one is an exemption, as I've noticed that they've got vast number of good reviews and quite in good ratings. I loved how the story goes with inclusion of family affairs, friendship which gives me inspiration 'no one should be left behind', lifting each other to reached their own goals. And of course, a cute romance of a typical teenagers then, matured as they become older and same goes to their relationship. I cannot repress myself to be emotional whenever the guy genuinely shows his sincerity without realizing it's already out of his league😆ttttt....... the power of love certainly made you bubblehead. You cannot expect more to them but their production can make you to loved other preferences in a love story drama. Chemistry is undeniable, especially when they both in denial stage and jealousy takes place. It can also gives you glimpse of their technology as the ML was an automotive top student in the univeristy.....indeed, they are also advanced on this field. Their ost are suit to my ears, perfect for nostalgic mood and finding inspirations. I want to emphasize what Zhou Siyue said in the last episode, "Equation require solution but, love has no solution" (kaya marami tayong marurupok sa mundo).😅 Anyway, nice catch💯✔

Worth the time

A very good drama especially both leads acting were so good. It looks so natural and they acted with their eyes. It was not boring and the drama really taught about family, life and relationships. It is quite a mature drama and does not have any childish aspects. Recommended if you don't want to watch a heavy drama!

The actors are new but they portrayed their role very well and they look very compatible. Their acting were so good especially their crying scenes it was very convincing. I really had fun watching this and this is the next best drama alongside le coup de foundre.


The antagonists were not so annoying like other dramas and most importantly the characters are all mature. Even the second couple was fun to watch and have viewers to cheer on for them.

Falling in Love and Growing Up

I was in the mood for a school youth drama and Our Secret popped out on my IQiYi screen. The drama's 'biggest mystery' was 'Do you know my secret' and that got me hooked. That somewhat kept me glued to the subsequent episodes trying to find out what this secret was and why the ML was so cold towards FL at Ep 1.

As for ML, I didn't realise I have actually watched a few of his previous dramas but didn't complete viewing them (Handsome Siblings, Renascence). It never struck me he was handsome until watching Our Secret. Ahhh, his dark, kira-kira eyes when looking at FL; so mind-blowing. He was just superb as Zhou Si Yue. Jealous ZSY was also freaky hilarious.

By the end of the drama, I am the biggest fan of FL. She is not drop dead gorgeous or anything and is pretty timid at the start. She somewhat reminded me of myself back when I was in school (of course minus crazy drawing talent and hot guy sitting next to me). I admire her resilience especially in her studies, in fighting for her love and in just whatever she wants to do. Like Ding Xian, I had to repeat a year of my studies to achieve what I wanted. I really felt her anxiousness and despair at times.

Probably the storyline of the drama is not breaking any new territory, but the acting of both ML and FL is so filled with warmth and brings such a lovely feeling when I watched it. I also have to say the OST is exceptional. My favourite songs are 'Always Always Always I Love You' and 'Long Day'. There was also another backgound song playing at the end of Episode 4 when they left the taxi and were running to see the fireworks - such a nice song but it was not released in the official OST. I wonder who sang that song.

If you are looking for a school themed youth drama, give this drama a chance and you might be pleasantly surprised.

great high school drama

I don't normally go looking for high school dramas, but I have watched a few and this has got to be one of my favorite ones aside from Meeting You. What I loved most about this drama is that the FML is not over the top. Some of the high school dramas I've seen, the FML is usually borderline annoying at first (yes I know character development and all lol). She's a pretty chill character-which I love.

Also the main leads have such a cute chemistry, that I definitely felt nostalgic about my high school years just like other people have commented.

What I also liked is that she didn't total disregard the SML-after all they did grow up together. One of my pet peeves-although I do like love triangles, is that some dramas are quick to right off the SML once they do something wrong. Like ok lets just forget how much you helped me in the past and how you were basically one of my best friends.

I am happy as always when I find something that I wasn't expecting to be a great drama lol.

Its definitely a fun and quick watch.
