IKR! Instead of episodes where they go back and forth with random misplaced jealousy they could have shown those flashbacks which would give us more connection to their love story.

Finished watching all episodes and overall good drama but could have been a great drama but i think screenplay and directing messed up . Their childhood flashback was useless with no proper relationship building shown , just random eating icecreams shots . Instead if they had shown how FL a& ML really get close with ML breaking her wall would have been better ( Also what’s with hideous wig of FL. Can’t high school girl have long hair in China !!) I would want that then some filler epi in between . Anyways overall a good drama but felt short of being a great drama IMHO

Agree. There is no story just flat romance taht doesn’t work out

oh glad to know. This one i fast forwarded bcs i had nothing else to watch!!

Agree. i watched till the end (fast forwarding more and more in later episodes ) and it has nothing new to offer. Even with similar plot lines lot of shows like WIFTY , flourish in time has something to offer here there is absolutely nothing with 0 character arcs and most silliest of characters coming in and going with no logic

WIFTY or this drama ?

+1. But i also blame director. His character is anyway one dimensional. Dont get to see much anyways

oh if you chose to watch please chose WIFTY. I just finished watching this. In WIFTY i found first 2 or so episodes dragging i had to sit through but then i got so involved in all of the characters journey. Its so delightful to watch every characters story. This drama is exactly reverse. First 2 or so episodes is interesting and then becomes a train wreck with none of the characters holding interest.
Also recommend you watch both Hidden Love and WIFTY. Good cdramas this year by far.

No where close. WIFTY had better characters. More realistic and lovable characters. Here its outright trainwreck right from the leads. Sorry it might seem harsh but if we come to comparison thats the only word i can use

To be honest IMO neither voice , directing , screenplay and actor contributed much to show about his character as well

Episode 17

Completed 20 episodes and one word disappointed! There is no depth to characters whatsoever and some of the side characters are just outright unbelievable and doesnt even add to the romance of the leads which seems to be the reason behind introducing such characters. Ughhh. Sighhh . Acting wise so so. Not bad i guess but in any case its not like story demanded much from them anyways. I expected something like flourish in time(go ahead also has grow up together but thats very heavy drama so didnt expect that much) but it doesnt even get anywhere close to it.

9 episodes in i dont see any character arc of any characters. Most of side characters are too childish for my liking .Even teachers are childish. Hoping it turns around!

Cool. thanks.

Will it be available in English subs too all at once ?? In sites like Kissh . Any idea ?

Huh. i never liked Zhao Lusi till now somehow but i gave Hidden Love a chance and for once i think its worth the hype. I thing its about the genre and the kind of genre we want to watch at certain point in time

This ! I have been saying the same they didn’t show FL state clearly . There are couple of scenes added which I added to the sense of her being normal . They could have atleast avoided that. For ex: When she looks at fish given by SY and says guess we won’t meet again . It looked as if she was saying so casually as if he was colleague. Her shopping with brother searching for fav brand of oats. I mean I am not an expert but these scenes looks like FL is like any other rich kid with no issues . These makes audience disconnect with her. She need not be always crying but showing such scenes change her situation perspective

Going to him and after that SY MYC discussion was fine. But the moment she comes from garage and goes to SY it was little choppy. we are discussing about that. If she goes first to MYC and then chooses SY it would still be the same except it wouldnt be disconnected scene. Again it didnt do major harm i suppose but it just looked fast forwarded a bit. I loved the convo between SY and MYC though.

oh yes! agree to that. looks like she first went to MYC to talk which was cut

I dont know how it is in novel but i loved the confrontation. It was mature and conversation exactly to the point with no over the top confrontation . It brought MYC out of his delusion and also showed how SY understood XQ situation with that hint of sadness and regret somewhere.
