Why Do We Have to Hide It?! (2025)

17 MINUTES OF CUTIES

Well, honestly I don't have many words to say. This was a cutie little watch, and I would watch again if I just needed something to do for 17 minutes.

The story is that Riku and Keita are in a romantic relationship, but they’ve chosen to keep it hidden from the people around them. While they care deeply for each other, the secrecy sometimes weighs heavily on Keita. He occasionally finds himself questioning his place in Riku’s life, wondering if the need to stay hidden means their relationship isn't as important to Riku as it is to him. The lack of openness can leave him feeling isolated, especially since neither his parents or friends know.

Riku and Keita are both cuties, and I enjoyed the scenes that we got. Although it was so short, if there was ever a possibility, I'd want to see an actual drama with these two and similar storylines, just more into depth. Keita resembled Kiyoi from My Beautiful Man, but both leads were definitely beautiful men. ALSO the girl😭 she lowkey represented us with her always being like "😳🫣" y'know? Overall, it was a cute little watch and I enjoyed it :-)

Short, Sweet, and Seriously Adorable!

💖 17 Minutes of Pure Cuteness — I Need More!! ⏰💘

I just finished Why Do We Have to Hide It?! and even though it’s only 17 minutes long, I LOVED every second! 🥹✨ Both actors are stunning and had great chemistry — the looks, the little gestures, the tension... all packed perfectly into a short runtime 💞.

The plot is super simple — two boyfriends keeping their love a secret — but it’s told with so much heart. Honestly, this short film gave me more feels than some full 8-episode series I’ve watched 😅.

I really hope this gets expanded into a full series one day — I’d be so ready to invest in it! 💸💖 Until then, this is a sweet, cozy watch that I highly recommend. Just wish it was a bit longer!

⭐️ 8/10
⏳ Short but absolutely worth your time! Don’t miss it!
