I'd recommend this!
I watched it for my favorite actress Zhao Lusi, but I love all the actors and actresses their acting in here. They really show development in their emotions when the story also develops further. The storyline seems realistic and not exaggerated to me, so it felt durable to watch it. It was visually pleasing as well. Everyone looks handsome and beautiful to the eye. It is a very soft vanilla romance series. I'd definitely recommend this series!If you like soft romance stories, with development starting from young to old, wholesomeness, school involved, lead with sibling, some personal hardships, then this is certainly for you.

A truly amazing Cdrama the best so far this year and I dare say maybe the best Asian drama as well
If you're looking forward to re-experience the innocent crush and first love that ends up to a happy ending with two beautiful eye-candy amazing actors with super heart fluttering chemistry then this is the one you're looking for!! The transition from the young FL to the adult version was very smooth the crush on the older ML made sense the cute interactions between both and the supporting characters is amazing. The story in itself is veryyy beautiful the character were all well written, it is a very bright light drama however it has some sad parts that were quickly solved to keep things simple. The siblings relationship was also so cute and real. I couldn't find anything to nitpick on to be very honest. The casting was on point. Lusi is an amazing actress she was able to portray the innocence, rebellious phase of teens and shyness of having your first crush. Then the maturity, growing up and fighting for her independence and being a strong support to her ML. Chen zheyuan was also exceptional I didn't watch much of his works but he is very good he delivered the emotions on point his eyes were everything! The smiles, the eyes, the look. He did amazing. Both of them had an amazing chemistry on screen and off screen. There wasn't one moment that made you feel cringy or disturbed. It was a beautiful transition from a pure one sided love to a mature relationship between two adults. Everyone who watches the drama won't be able to forget it. It is very worth the watch!!!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
GEM !!!!
This Drama just increased my standard Romcom. 3 days ago just finished this drama and now I don't know why i can't watch any romcom drama.The way this drama took me about 2 days to complete explains how much I loved it.
And trust me this drama had me laughing, smiling and blushing every minute.
They both were each other's first and last love and I loved the how sang zhi back then was not utterly obsessed (trust me I've read books and watched shows like these).
She just always admired him from afar and loved him regardless of his past + duan jiaxu being the greenest flag ever has raises my standards omg....
Not only Chemistry between Sang Zhi & Duan Jia Xu that i loved. I also love Chemistry between Sang Zhi and her family/friends.
"17 years Sang Zhi soo Cute :)"

Must watch due to Actors and director
This is a simple story of a girls crush on a boy. What makes it great is the actors and directors magic.ML- his acting was simply superb. He can portray every emotion on this face and communicate through eyes without saying a word. He made emotional scenes look real and surreal.
FL- she’s well known for her acting skills in the roles she’s done. Whether it’s long ballad or who rules world can display varied emotions on her face. Her high schools girl to college transformation was classy.
Director- has made story heart warming and the transitions are smooth during the times of their childhood to adulthood.
Only thing I missed is both FL and ML were good at showcasing the emotions when they looked at each other. The way it’s said a kiss can tell hundreds of things but theirs was lacklustre one. It lacked passion and was cold when it came in last three episodes. Their chemistry was cool but kisses showed lack of passion.
It’s not the case for ZL if you watch who rules world or love like galaxy.

A real gem - watch it!
I find many Chinese dramas either too melodramatic with overcomplicated plots and very 2-dimensional characters or the acting just plain awful. I don’t even bother to finish many of them - but this one (Hidden Love) is a real gem. Everything is just spot on - the casting, the acting, OST, the plot - it is faultless. An absolute pleasure to watch from start to finish!Characters have depth; the story flows naturally and it’s very well acted. Plus romance rush in practically every scene. It had me in fits of laughter (e.g. sibling rivalry), throes of despair (especially the first airport scene) and every feeling in between. So, so refreshing to find a C-drama that ticks all the boxes and left me feeling my time wasn’t wasted (which is how I feel about majority of c-dramas). In fact, I finished watching it and immediately watched it all over again. It’s that good.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
A beautiful love story with heartfluttering chemistry
I'm gonna say it, but this is the best cdrama I've watched, and I've seen a lot. They chose the best actors and actresses for this and not just the main leads. The chemistry is over the roof, it's sweet and realistic. Most girls have had a crush and this plays out those feeling step by step, making you immersed in their story as if it was your own. The OST also adds feelings of longing to their relationship alongside a smooth production. I really cant recommend this drama enough if you love a sweet, gentle romance.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
A STORY OF FIRST LOVE
The way this drama took me about 2-3 days to complete explains how much I loved it. And trust me I'm not into romance but this drama had me laughing, smiling and blushing every minute. They both were each other's first and last love and I loved the how sang zhi back then was not utterly obsessed (trust me I've read books and watched shows like these). She just always admired him from afar and loved him regardless of his past + duan jiaxu being the greenest flag ever has raises my standards omg....Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Deze recentie kan spoilers bevatten
Compilation of random thoughts I had while watching this drama:
1. Why don't I have an older brother with hot friends?2. Jiaxu is way too hot for his own good! Every time he appears on screen, my heart skips a beat; I forget to breathe; I go into a daze; and I keep smiling like a stupid fool who's too old for this shit!
3. Sang Zhi looked more mature when she was 14.
4. But Sang Zhi is still fine as 17 year old. Maybe a little too shy, or she could be like that because of her crush on Jiaxu, and I totally understand it.
5. I love Sang Zhi's petty fights with her brother. That's me and my brother and we still fight like that at the age of 26 (me) and 24 (my brother)...
6. For a moment I thought Sang Zhi at 17 is too much, but again I was kinda exactly like her except I never skipped cities just to see a guy I had a crush on (perhaps rich people privileges!)...
7. I love how considerate Sang Zhi's parents and brother are. If I would have even told my family about my first love and heartbreak in school, I would be dead.
8. Does the parents' generosity and good deeds get passed down to the kids? No! Then why should kids bear the burden of their parents' sins?
9. Again, I love the brother-sister dynamics. They are just too real!
10. Sang Zhi and Jiaxu's overthinking phase is very realistic. I am sure most people in their young age would have experienced it. Maybe that's why I am liking this drama so far, even though it's a fluffy romance (I am more into crime thrillers).
11. This is soooo cute..... I am constantly screaming and getting butterflies seeing Sang Zhi and Jiaxu interact with each other. This drama is like every girl's dream fairytale!!!
12. It should be a crime to make a guy look this adorable! How am I supposed to lower my expectations when someone could imagine such a person and put it down on paper? Where will I find someone like Jiaxu who can reach my sky-high expectation? Or does the writer wants me to be delulu forever until I die single?
13. I might die of diabetes before this drama ends!
14. I like how understanding Sang Zhi is. I would probably die of overthinking if I would have been at her place!!
15. I am going to cry myself to sleep after finishing this drama because it is making me feel single and lonely in 100 different languages.
16. Love that every action and reaction of people in the drama feels natural. Some people may not agree but when I imagine the type of situations portrayed here, I would expect people to react in the same manner, be it Sang Zhi, Jiaxu, Sang Yan, Sang Zhi's parents, or Jiang Ying. I was a little disappointed with Sang Zhi's boss coz I would expect a boss in the workplace to be more mature to keep personal and professional life separate.
17. I know I have said it before, but I truly adore the Sang siblings' relationship. Not everyone gets to experience it, but personally, I relate to it the most.
18. And slowly, I fell for Sang Zhi also!
19. I am so envious of Sang Zhi that she could ask someone to love her forever. A lot of us have lost hope in love so much that we don't expect it from anyone anymore. All we do is try to love ourselves to feel a little less lonely and somewhat content...
20. I think I can watch them for 1000 more episodes, growing old together, successfully overcoming all life problems, and living happily.
I ASAP need some advice on how to get over this series! Ahhh! It completely ruined me.

I'm crying with joy
OK so This Drama is not one of the best I watchedIt's literally THE BEST ONE I watched. Idk If there will be a drama that's gonna overcome this one.
I dont know If there is any TV series that made me smile so much ( that I got smiling lines and I'm unhappy about that ? )
Zhao Lusi played her role to well. I was a big fan of her from 2020 but this Drama actually proved everything I thought of her. Her crying is so realistic that sometimes I cried with her . I never knew that someone actually can be that good at acting. Chen Zheyuan ate his role. I have never heard of him before but now I'm a huge fan of him.
Zhao Lusi and Chen Zheyuan are couple that we never knew we needed. I love how their relationship has evolved over time.
The story line is PERFECT there's no lacks.
Every cast proved what skills they have.
I hope there will be season 2 ? when they get married and maybe they will have kids.
I highly recommend 'Hidden Love' ?
( I Have a big crush on Sang Zhi's Brother ) ?

The Purest and Beautiful Relationship ever!!
I am a big fan of Lu Si. I came here because of her but unexpectedly, I also became Zhe Yuan's fan as well. I like both actors so much. They portrayed the character from the novel so well that while watching them, I was able to feel those emotions as well.The love story between Jiaxu and ZhiZhi is so pure and sincere that I wonder if there's even a relationship like that exists in real life but whether it exists or not, I was able to experience those warm and lovable feelings of them together through the screen. Their story wasn't too heavy or too light, it was rather simple but it made me so filled watching it. I was glad I get to watch this. I was so hooked on this drama from the beginning to the end. I've never watched a romance drama that is so consistently sweet, warm, and funny as this. Their relationship was so cute and not just the couple that is beautiful but also the sibling's relationship and the friendship between the friends. They were all so well mixed together, making the show so good that you just keep wanting to see more of them all together. There were so many cute scenes that are not AT ALL, cringe and so funny as well. Jiaxu and ZhiZhi made every day so much fun and warm for me. I'll rewatch this a lot, I just know it. I giggled, squirmed, and had so much fun in every episode I watched. Everything is about caring, understanding and loving. Almost every character in this drama has this trait. Also, Jiaxu story made me tear up sometimes, how he and his mother struggled so much because of his father's selfishness. He had to go through all kinds of things which other kids don't when he's also a kid just like others. He took such a heavy responsibility all my himself, can't cry out loud when he's having a hard time but he was able to meet someone who he can finally rest his head on and share his worries with. I say this is such a great story even though it's simple, it still so great.
This story is so beautiful that I wish everyone would experience this. I know not everyone has a rainbow life but still, this drama shows us how to obtain one.
I'm sad to see this end but I'm happy I get to see this til the end. I was satisfied with the episodes this drama has offered. I'll cherish the memories I made while watching this drama for a long time and will always have a place in my heart.
Lastly, I want to thank all the actors and actresses, the staff, the director, and the writer for giving all of us, including me such a beautiful story to watch. If you ever come across my review by chance, then thank you so much for your hard work. Thank you!
