A Quiet Triumph of Romance
After watching all 25 episodes of Hidden Love (2023), I can confidently say it stands out as one of the most tender and emotionally genuine romantic dramas in recent years. The relationship between Sang Zhi and Duan Jiaxu unfolds with subtlety, warmth, and a quiet emotional depth. Zhao Lusi portrays the innocence and emotional growth of her character with remarkable authenticity, while Chen Zheyuan brings a calm, mature presence to the screen. Their chemistry is natural and compelling, giving the story its emotional core.The writing avoids melodrama and instead focuses on small, meaningful moments that reflect real emotional development. The show's aesthetics—soft lighting, a gentle color palette, and a fitting musical score—enhance the romantic tone without overwhelming it. Hidden Love is a story told with grace and sincerity, reminding viewers that love doesn’t need loud declarations to leave a lasting impact. It’s a drama that resonates quietly but deeply.

Disappointment
Unfortunately , I got to episode 9 and I don't think I can continue watching the series. No chemistry between the main characters. Script simplistic , no passion between the actors and overall , very tedious. Here in Greece, Chinese and South Korean series are very common and I have watched several , but I think this one did not excite me at all.Was this review helpful to you?
