I swear, the ML actor Chen Zhe Yuan (Si Yue in the drama) talks with his eyes - they're always filled with an emotion and you can tell exactly what he's trying to say. His voice is so calm too. His character Si Yue was utterly charming and intelligent. The dialogue + delivery of his lines were killer. Can't wait to see him in more shows and I hope he gets the popularity he deserves for his acting abilities.
For the FL actress Xu Meng Jie (Ding Xian in the drama), she's so adorable as a high school girl! Her voice is also soothing and she portrays the "shy girl" in such a likable way. She's not only shy, but has so much more depth to her and she also grows as a character. It's really sweet watching her learn positive things from the ML.
The side characters like all the friends, adults, and antagonists also did an amazing job. I'd say the episodes toward the end were a bit more cheesy and could've been more fleshed out with actual romantic scenes but I'll forgive it since I know China's entertainment policy doesn't allow much for high school dramas and I still felt the flutters anyways 😅 I totally recommend this to anyone reading !!

Its those thrashy classy romance but good tier ifykwim
Oct. 19, 2021Okay, so this Chinese drama is quite interesting. I have seen the reviews and I expected quite a lot but I feel like it just did not meet the expectations for me. I thought that the plot was decent enough but not outstanding. Given that it is a high school to adult-type Chinese drama, it is expected for it to have lots of cliches. Which I did not mind, to be honest.
However, what frustrates me is the somehow development of the two leads. I am sure that everyone loved the ending as they got together finally. But the middle arc just irked me so much since it's promoting toxicity and dependent on each other. I feel like they shouldn’t have gone this route as they tried to make such good development for the FL. It was a pain to see how the FL forces and attaches herself to the ML like a glue. I didn’t find that cute or lovely at all. It feel dehumanizing at most. I really despise that arc, if the director just removed that arc, this drama would have been a good 9.5/10 or even a 10/10 for me.
So fair warning, but everything else is great. It's just the 3/4 part that just made me almost lose my interest in this drama. But the ending did redeem the show I guess for that painful middle arc.
SO OVERALL 8/10. Do I recommend this show? Ofc but only for those who have good patience.

FLUFFY CUTE DRAMA
If you need a sweet romcom to lighten your mood this drama is perfect .Unlike others I feel the plot is mediocre but it focuses on various aspects like chasing dreams,failures and youth apart from romance . The FL is clumsy but for some reason it's not annoying to watch her character(atleast for me) infact she is like every other naive teenager who usually takes decisions based on emotions.The weirdest part was how they introduced a love triangle in the 18th episode.That was unnecessary.The cast of this drama surprisingly won my heart.The main leads give me butterflies everytime they are together.There are misunderstandings between them and a childhood connection just like every typical highschool drama.The secondary couple has a cute chemistry as well.
Overall I'm enjoying this show and can't wait to complete it.Would recommend to anyone who is in mood of sweet fluffy dramas.Hopefully there won't be any plotholes.
EDIT
I wish they gave more screen time to the side couples....love how in the end there was peace between all the characters. They followed the cute concept but didn't erase the fact that both the leads are chasing their dreams .

ok i watched this purely for Chen Zheyuan, I really really wanted to know why he is so loved on MDL. I previously only watched Hidden Love which wasn't bad but lowkey felt like it was a little overrated. However, I feel like I get some of the hype for Chen Zheyuan now, the way he portrays emotions is really alluring. Like he got those puppy eyes and jawline and full lips and the way he looks at Ding Xian (Xu Mengjie/Rainbow) is so in love. (i wish someone would look at me that way *cries in my dream*). The support characters are also paired well, no random annoying bestie that just happens to ruin everything. Anyways, the actors all did really well. I feel like it's a real high school yk, with no overly obnoxious characters. The only lil thing that pissed me off was that bit in the middle where Zhou Siyue was in denial over Ding Xian when he thought it was "for her good" like come on how many times is that used (i mean although it works). There was no draggy-ahh plotline, 24 episodes is a good length for this. Solid 8.5. not bad but not awesome. (Ignore my rating for music, unless it's really good I just put a two for everything) Was this review helpful to you?
MUST WATCH
i read someones review that the episodes are enough for this drama, and as i watched it i feel the same way. the storyline was nice and the actors played well their characters also. the ml & fl was so cute and potrayed emotions very well. want season 2 or more drama with this duo. romance was cute as anyone can relate it to their real life. in last 22-24 episodes they could detailed the villian scene more but they shown very shortly and the extra story episode also have shown as happy ending in ending.Was this review helpful to you?
A Story worth re-watching, again and again.
The plot was soo sweet, and realistic enough. The characters were good and the actors did a great job playing them. At first glance, it'd just seem like an ordinary typical cringe puppy love drama, but, if you take a moment and start watching, you'd be surprised. It shows the importance of those little ordinary things in our daily lives. Just like Zhou Siyue said, "At first all things would seem ordinary and insignificant, but, later everything will fall into place, little by little, and then will you understand the actual significance of those insignificant things." The series portrayed the lives of teenagers and adults too. What they go through, how they overcome it, and what they become after going through those things. How small things that can't even be spoken, and actions that are not even worth taking, turn out to be something that matters more than anything. A Series that portrays the true value of romantic and platonic love, filled with family, friendship, youth, adolescence, and more. A lesson well learned, to such an extent, that I don't think I'll ever be able to move on from. Could relate to everything the characters went through and thought about. It gave me hope, the Idea of these little things, that are not so little. If you're planning to watch it, don't delay it anymore!Was this review helpful to you?
Some Secrets Are Better Left Unspoken
Our Secret is a Chinese drama about two high school students, Zhou Siyue and Ding Xian, who slowly fall in love. The show has a soft and sweet tone with a lot of cute moments between the main characters. Their relationship feels believable and the school setting brings back that feeling of being a teenager.However, the drama does have some problems. One of the biggest issues is the voice-over work. Ding Xian’s voice often doesn’t match her mouth movements, which becomes really distracting. It happens a lot and takes away from the scene. Her whispered lines especially stand out as being oddly delivered. They feel out of sync and disconnected from the mood. Kong Shadi also has a few strange-sounding whispers, but Ding Xian’s are noticeably worse. It’s hard to tell if that’s the actor’s performance or if it’s more of a problem with the production and editing.
The story itself is pretty cliché. The smart quiet boy meets the bright cheerful girl, but at times it also seems like the show is trying too hard to be different. There’s a subplot with Su Bocong that didn’t really add much to the story and was very predictable.
Chen Zheyuan, who plays Zhou Siyue, is definitely better in Hidden Love. I’m not sure if it’s just that he improved between 2021 and 2023, but chemistry plays a big part. His dynamic with Zhao Lusi in Hidden Love feels more natural and emotionally grounded. He also seems to fit the older brother type of role more, and visually, the pairing with Zhao Lusi just worked better on screen. Sometimes even small things like the height difference can help make the chemistry feel stronger, and that balance felt more natural in Hidden Love than it does here with Xu Mengjie.
I’ve seen someone say it’s better to just watch Go Ahead instead. I haven’t seen that one yet but I’ll update this review once I do to see how it compares.
Even with its flaws Our Secret has its moments. It’s not perfect but if you enjoy school romance with a bit of drama it’s still a decent watch.

From deskmates to soulmates <3
As someone who loves fluffy dramas, this has climbed to my top drama list. Rarely a highschool drama can make you cry, but this drama is an exception. What makes you cry is the nostalgic feeling that this drama gives you. You watch the main leads and their friends grow from being a school student to university student.The story begins as your typical main leads who bicker a lot with each other. Then soon they have good feelings towards each other. There are some misunderstandings and some small fights but it gets cleared very soon. Its not draggy.
Both the main leads are eye candy. They already behave like a married couple during their school years but they were still not dating. Its like everyone knows their dating except for themselves. This drama really made me question how the hell I spent my school years. This is such a feel good drama.
The chemistry is off the charts. They understand each other well, their family also do not object them, they have friends who are equally supportive. Siyeu is the man of dreams like literally, he is very humble, not cold, was never arrogant or dominant towards the FL. He even cried so many times in front of the FL. This was a refreshing thing that I enjoyed.
The FL is sweet and although she was making the ML her priority most of the times, she eventually realized how to separate her personal and professional life. They both loved each other since the beginning. No second leads, no other 3rd character that can break them or no other things that could separate them.
I really recommend this drama and you'll definitely feel emotional at the end since it is quite nostalgic how you watched them grow from teenagers to adults.

There is better in this genre
This was an easy show to get into, and has to be one of my favorite genres (HS - childhood Friends to College lovers ). Similar to my fav shows such as Go Ahead and Always Home (Our Secretis a good watch but Watch these instead). Main leads are okay, I like Chen Zhe Yuan (Si Yue) , he was good in Hidden Love. The character he plays was a basic one, Male childhood friend who is really smart and parents love. The FL Rainbow Xu (Ding Xian) I have never seen before but she was just good. She got kind of annoying in college. Very persistent and just annoying. I enjoyed the side couple as well but it did turn annoying and unreasonable at times.I wish the time in High School was shortened or did something else to the plot besides just establishing there friendship. We understand that she likes him but not until college, which she is suddenly very adamant about it . College wasn’t so much rushed but the pacing was so-so. I wish there was more tension within the main leads as well. Nearly not enough kisses as there could’ve been. It just fell flat. I did enjoy it though but could’ve enjoyed it more if there was consistency and tension.Was this review helpful to you?
A good drama to change the mood
I watched it for Chen Zhe Yuan, and here are my thoughts:-A typical high school drama, the FL's character was a bit annoying but it was bearable, I liked her character's growth.
-The side character are lovely. The SL couple's chemistry is the best. My fav was "Auntie"
-I liked how they treated some problems that might seem trivial but are important.
-The chemistry was a bit lacking from the FL's part but it was okay (the effect of hidden love is still working) .
-There are many boring parts as well but they can be skipped.
Overall, it wasn't as good as expected but it was a quite fun and lighthearted drama.
I might've missed something but those are my thoughts after the last episode
