dont worry, they are green flag all the way

not sure why you watched it all and you didnt drop it. Did you really need 25 eps to write this comment?:)) I watched it 3 times and I loved everything about it. It's a happy pill :)

it is well written, well directed, the acting is very good, sets, cinematography and osts are all very good. The leads have an amazing chemistry and the story itself is very sweet

dont bother...it's a troll

lol, kiddo! I cant say which one you hate more: ZLS or WCR
1. Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots
2.You put WCR on the same line with DD (as versatile as DD?). Go ask DD's fans, you wronged the place & ppl
3. If you really were a fan of WCR, you would know she posted on weibo an apologize for her acting (that doc char you mentioned twice).
4. When you come in some1 house, without invitation, do your homework first! You dont know anything...but coz you came here, you may check all the links you find on this page to learn more about ZLS
Pfff! Kids....

The last Immortal made 10k heat (10192) popularity with only 1 trailer released on Tencent channel.
oh, well...this is really WOW!
Congrats Zhao Lu Si, Wang Wang An Yu & entire TLI team!

It is very unfair to make such a fuss about a teaser. I didnt like it when you shadowed everything about this drama: "creepy budget, creepy director, weak cast" etc. More, you cant change anything about it. You can take it or leave it.
I was more than respectful, but in the end ppl have to earn it, not to ask for it.

Lusi updated her Instagram 谢谢你们爱我💜/thank you for loving me💜

She is very young and dont forget the fact she is in industry for only 6 years. She still has the age when she can act without embarrassment youth dramas, costume dramas (where heroines are 15-16 years old). Her voice is cute, without being annoying. Asian girls of 15-17 years old have sweet voices and they play cute in real life. Talking dialects helped her in many of her dramas, they fit perfectly to some of her roles. Anyway, every each role in the past 2 years was complex, with big development. Even SZ (Hidden Love) wasnt a plain char, it has a nice development, a full palette of emotions at different stages of her growth and ZLS nailed it. Did you ever think why Lusi doesnt deliver flops? She chooses her scripts carefully, takes the ones she knows she can bring them to life, she wont take a role that doesnt fit her (she has at least 4 interviews where she talks about it). She isnt pressed by age to make that change in her career, but even so, after only 6 years of career, she has 2 mainstreams (Hutong and Gen Z). This year she had 4 variety shows (they are meant to rise her popularity). I think her career is in good hands, and she really knows what she has to do. As fans, we need to trust her choices, obviously she knows better than we do what is the best for her

No1 can say now if TLI will be more like The Untamed or more like Beauty of resilience. But saying the directing is bad is definitely wrong
OK, I uderstand some ppl have their "fears", but making such a fuss about a teaser, shadowing the drama, is really the most unfair thing

CGI are better than I expected. Not the best I've ever seen, but good. Hope they will keep this line, too much will give those cartoonish vibes
The costumes are impressive. There were many leaks this year, all the costumes are very nice. They were made by the same designer who made TTEOM 's costumes (ex-senior editor for VOGUE)

Never judge a book by its cover :) First impressions may be unreliable. My first impression about you is that you are a hater. But obviously, I may wrong

What we know for sure from the first trailer is that the cinematography, CGI, costumes, sets, osts are good, you can say this is truly a S+ drama and they spent money wisely. We had this year several examples of S+ dramas with a bad production. It isnt the case here, and this is good.

About the screenwriter: Mysterious Lotus Casebook, Love and Redemption - I guess these 2 should say a lot. TLI will be well written. If a script is good, the chances for drama to be a success are high
Directing: The Untamed. I really love it
About acting: ZLS is the FL. She chose the script, which means she was confident she could carry it. Zls delivered only hits in the past 2 years. I have no worries, TLI will be a hit, too

In the end, if you dont wanna watch it, then dont.

Actually it got tons of 1, HL had a score of 9.2 and they lower it. This happened after they rose the score for WIFTY, Reset and another 2 kdramas. Small ppl, when they cant rise their favs own dramas, use the other ones dramas. It's pathetic

she is popular and loved, indeed, but she has dramas rated under 9. Some of them under 8. So isnt that the reason for what HL's score is over 9.

1. Maoyan Professional Edition data

HiddenLove's popularity is 9748.46, becoming the most popular modern drama in the summer of 2023!
🏆Most popular urban drama in the summer
🏆Network drama popularity daily x7
🏆Drama series popularity weekly x2

I watched them both, finished them, but fell only for HL. In fact, it's just a matter of taste.

I respect your opinion, obviously. A polite change of impressions should not create such high pressure, I guess....in the end we all love dramas, that's why we are here.
The dramas above arent romcoms, are different genres. It's unfair to say a genre should be rated between 1-10 and another genre between 1-8 (for eg). I simply pointed the fact HL is very well done and it is one of the best for its drama genre

HL is very well done: very well written, directed, acting is very good, cinematography and osts are chef' kiss. This is why the rating is so high. In fact, it was even higher

Actually, it gets better and better till the end :)
For me is one of the best cdrama of this type. It is a pure love store, very faithful to romance genre, which doesnt dilute the story with unnecessary subplots
Maybe it is not your cup of tea.

He had no ill interest when he sent those gifts. At that time he considered her a junior, the younger sister of his best friend, the daughter of the family who helped him a lot when his mother died etc.
She discovered her feelings for him when she was 17 and wrote down about it. Because she thought he lied to her, she cut all ties for 2 years, when they accidentally met again
He has no love interest till she is 19. If he would know about her feelings, we wouldnt have those eps when he is jealous, fought to find out who's the guy she fell for is etc.
yes, he is protective and kind, but always a green flag.
