But her confidence crumbles the day she loses to Aiwarin, the only heiress of Orianna Group, one of the largest hotel empires in the nation, during a joint school project competition. Years pass, this time as leaders of their respective empires—competing head-to-head for the high-stakes Greater Duty-Free concession, a multi-billion project. Circumstances force them into close proximity, transforming their rivalry into an uneasy alliance. For May, this closeness becomes a strategy to uncover Ai’s secrets and win the bid. But for Ai, it is the chance to get closer to the woman she has secretly loved since the day they met.

Reviews
A mess but not in a good way
I really wanted to enjoy it… but no, it just doesn’t work for me.The characters Maevika and Ai frustrated me the most. Their relationship makes no sense: at the start, we’re told they’ve known each other since high school and that Ai has been attracted to Maevika since then, but after that… nothing. It’s never brought up again. So many ideas are introduced and then completely abandoned, serving no real purpose in the story.
And sorry, but the way Ai is written is problematic. She spends several episodes harassing, even sexually harassing, Maevika… and then, a few episodes later, we’re suddenly supposed to believe she sincerely loves her and that this situation is painful for her? It’s just not believable.
I hate when writers treat their audience like fools. There were so many better, smarter ways to handle this storyline.
The second couple was also completely sidelined: no depth, just a few random scenes here and there. It’s really frustrating because the actresses clearly gave their best, but the directing is an absolute mess.
Even the villains aren’t compelling. The two fathers traumatize their daughters just to win an auction… and then they get away with it, no consequences whatsoever? Not even a slap on the wrist!
And as for Maevika and Ai being “endgame,” I just can’t buy it. Their relationship makes no sense. I love toxic stories, but not when they’re written like this.
I really hope LMSY comes up with a much better series next time.
From Rivals to Soulmates
Harmony Secret is easily one of the standout GL dramas of 2025. The tension between Aiwarin and Maevika is so gripping from cold business rivals to a slow, emotionally charged romance that feels incredibly real. The show does a fantastic job blending corporate drama with deep personal moments, and the chemistry between the leads is undeniable. Every glance, every confrontation, and every shift in their dynamic kept me glued to the screen. The production quality, music, and pacing all elevate the story, and I love how it explores vulnerability behind power. This isn’t just a romance it’s a story about trust, ambition, and finding connection in unexpected places. I’m obsessed!
