Secret Love (2024)

start at episode 56

Overall: this has one of my most hated characters, a character who is a total jerk to the supposed love of his life (and this time he sexually assaults him). Start at episode 56. 81 episodes about 1.5 minutes each. You can watch episodes 1-12 on their YouTube channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO-UMZQa-AK62FVuT4bTbaGya2tKvk9k-&si=URrj_dF5OPwK6hFH I initially watched on their website https://portal.qustory.online/ - the rest are behind a paywall. QuStory also has an Android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bean.qunovel and seems to have mainly books.

Content Warnings: past murder, attempted murder, sexual assault, ptsd/trauma, manipulation, blood, non con kiss, fight, child abuse, unwanted outing, homophobia, drugging?

What I Liked
- story premise was understandable
- accidental fall and catch
- visuals
- kisses
- production value

Room For Improvement
- a character being Mr. Hyde outwardly but Dr. Jekyll internally, the sexual assault was awful and ruined their relationship for me
- didn't understand if the mom had a plan or what that whole thing was with the room
- what happened in episode 12
- cliche zero communication skills
- cliche overheard part of conversation and ran away
- four years apart after already having been apart for 3 years
- dodged physical affection after reuniting at the airport/in the car
