Heartwarming and Hilarious: A Hidden Love CDrama Review
THidden Love was my initiation into the world of Cdramas, and what a delightful introduction it was. The essence of wholesomeness embedded in this drama truly warms the heart and leaves a lasting impression. At the core of its charm lies the phenomenal chemistry between the main leads, setting the stage for an unforgettable love story.One of the standout features of Hidden Love is the endearing sibling bickering that had me in fits of laughter throughout the series. The portrayal of the "darling brother" added a special touch to the storyline, evoking both amusement and endearment.
Beyond the romantic connection between the leads, the dynamic they share with other characters in the show is what truly elevates this drama. The genuine interactions and relationships forged throughout the series significantly contribute to its overall appeal.
The introduction is a cute and captivating hook, setting the tone for the series, while the soundtracks complement the narrative beautifully, providing an enjoyable auditory experience.
In terms of the plot, while it follows a typical love story arc, it exudes a delightful charm that keeps viewers engaged. However, a minor setback is the lack of attention to detail, which slightly detracts from the overall experience. The inconsistencies in the timeline and Sang Zhi's allergies create a disconnect, highlighting potential oversights in the script that could have been rectified with careful editing and review.
One perplexing aspect was the discrepancy in the portrayal of Sang Zhi's allergies. The confusion surrounding her allergies, specifically the absence of visible symptoms in certain scenes, raises questions about the attention to continuity and accuracy in the storyline.
Despite these minor drawbacks, Hidden Love has left an indelible mark on me, and I can envision myself revisiting this drama multiple times in the years to come. Its undeniable charm and heartwarming moments make it a memorable viewing experience, deserving of its place in the Cdrama repertoire.

Finally A C-Drama I finished
It's so hard for me to find good Chinese dramas, so this was one of the rare ones that I watched from start to finish.The story is about a girl who falls in love with her brother's friend, who's 5 years older than him. Sounds spicy, and the trailer and plot made it seem like the couple will go through many ups and downs. But this drama was the complete opposite of dramatic. It was so sweet, without being cringe. This was one of the main reasons why I loved this drama. The guy was so romantic, sweet, and caring, without being too over the top. The girl may seem spoiled given her family background, but she was raised right: humble and kind. They complement each other so well!
The progression of how the couple grew to be together was so natural. At first, I thought the actress was too cutesy in having to play a younger girl, but I ended up being used to it, and it worked on her.
In real life, the age gap is only by 2 years, so I'm curious to know how it would be like if the age gap was further, to be more realistic. Either way, they had amazing chemistry, and I'm going to miss this cute couple.

Pure love and trust
Love in all phases. From admiration to crush to puppy love to romantic love and mature love.The purity of the love and trust of the FL to the ML is really heartwarming. And the ML is truly captivating as he navigates from an older friend's affection to a deeper and more mature love.
Zhao Lusi and Chen Zheyuan have perfectly portrayed their roles.
I've watched it a couple of times already and it still gets to me. The smiles, the tears, the romance, everything.
I hope Lusi and Zheyuan will have another drama soon.

So cute I wanna cry!
This show is a MUST MUST WATCH!!!!Everything about this show was perfection and adorable. It gave me so many butterflies. I watched the whole show without skipping any scenes or cringing at any point(which is a rare standard to keep for a Chinese show).
I loved the whole cast. Not only are the leads brilliant but the supporting cast was amazing too. The FL and ML are such good actors whether it be funny, romantic or emotional scenes.
The love story between ML and FL is so organic and nuanced. The FLs family dynamic is so well done and her relationship with her brother is a show stealer.
The OST is so good and complements the story. I already have a couple of songs added to my playlist.
It was such a feel-good romcom and it is definitely going on my re-watch list. I can't recommend this show enough.

The purest Love Story of them all
I have been watching kdrama, twdrama, kdrama & cdrama since 2008 & this is the sweetest, loveliest & squee worthiest drama, I've seen in a really long time. It made my heart feel so warm & fuzzy. The male lead is extremely charming & charismatic, the female lead is as cute as newborn puppy but turns into a wild cat when it comes to protecting her loved one.The acting was really great & there was nothing toxic, dramatic or overly exciting BUT I still enjoyed every minute of it, because the potrayal of this young love made me just giddy & happy.
Just do yourself a favor, watch it now.

Hidden Love
"Hidden Love" is an absolute gem of a Chinese drama that left me utterly enchanted. From the very start, I was drawn into the intricate world of emotions and connections that this drama masterfully weaved. What truly stole my heart were the leads, whose chemistry was nothing short of magical. Their performances brought the characters to life in a way that was both mesmerizing and deeply relatable.The entire cast deserves applause for their impeccable work. Every actor contributed their best, delivering performances that were both sincere and impactful. The seamless teamwork among the cast members created a harmonious on-screen atmosphere that enhanced the storytelling.
At the heart of it, all lies a concept and story that captivated me from beginning to end. The delicate manner in which the narrative unfolds allowed me to immerse myself fully in the characters' experiences. The drama's ability to blend emotion, suspense, and romance in such a balanced manner was truly commendable.
"Hidden Love" is not just a drama; it's an experience that resonates on multiple levels. With a heartwarming storyline and outstanding character portrayals, it's a shining example of how to create a captivating drama that stays with you long after the final scene.

Nostalgic ; -)
The storyline is simple yet wistful. It brings back feelings from decades ago -- the ones you want to reminisce about and those memories you want to forget but can't ;) ML & FL have great chemistry, their acting was so natural that I almost felt like I am watching my own teenage years! Not only the memories but the feelings as well. great emotions in portraying their characters. Zhao Lusi and Chen Zhe Yuan are great actors, they made a masterpiece out of a simple plot! not to mention also other actors involved also, they were all great!This is my first time writing a review out of all the dramas I've watched -- Kdrama, Lakorn, Mexicanovela, and Cdramas.
Looking forward to a season 2 with the same actors in it. Thank you, Rosy and Chen, and all the Hidden Love cast for bringing back good old memories. Thank you mydramalist for allowing us to write reviews ;-) Highly recommended.

Boring and underwhelming
I was 22 episodes in when I decided I just can't take it anymore. I dropped this drama. The only thing that really kept me watching was waiting for Sang Yan to show up on screen. He made everything more interesting and was the perfect big brother character. Loved him!!To be honest, I felt like CZY character was lacking. He seemed too perfect but with an unfortunate family situation. And the chemistry between ZLS and CZY was nonexistent. I didn't feel ANY spark between them. ZLS character had like 0 personality as well. She was just cute and whiny? The side characters were also lacking and to be quite honest - just straight up bad.
I kept watching thinking oh nah this will get good - how can it not? It has such high reviews! But episode after episode, I was just sitting there like okay? That's it? I don't have much to say right now other than I'm just really disappointed in this drama. If you like light and fluffy dramas though a better one to watch would be "When I Fly Towards You" - all the characters in there were so fun and enjoyable.
This show was just not doing it for me.

I love this drama so much, amazing cast... They look so natural and beautifully executed. Overall this drama gives comfort and peace. No negativity. Everything is perfect. I wish these two will make another drama. I have been looking for a drama that only for good vibes and no complications. This is super! Sometimes, you just want to watch drama that no rival. Just, purely themeselves no villain or whatsoever. I am waiting for another drama with these couples. I hope it will be soon. I miss this two lovey dovey. Season will definitely a hit!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Overhyped C drama
As an avid c-drama fan of many years, I was so happy to see both hidden love and WIFTY trending on tiktok. While i absolutely loved WIFTY, Hidden love was honestly a hard watch for me. It's not new to see these types of "crush on sibling's friends" plot, the age gap in this drama was shocking and a tad too much for me to enjoy any sort of romance in this show. Whenever the FL shows aegyo towards the ML, the image of her as a child comes to mind and I just can't look past it TT However, I will say that the storyplot was great (with the exception of certain misunderstandings which dragged on for years and could've been easily resolved if they just communicated), so that's its only redeeming factor. I will give Zhao Lu Si props for her involvement in this drama's production from wardrobe, casting and even singing some of the songs in this show to save money when the original director ran off and delayed the filming. She has many other great drama such as The Long Ballad (2021) and Who Rules The World (2022) which I'll recommend everyone to watchVond je deze recentie nuttig?
