this is a MUST WATCH! A simple but pure and enchanting story about -
a first young love that will melt you!Every time I think about this drama I just happy/sad squeal inside! This show had me staying up till 4am because I simply couldn't stop! Having to put down my absolute obsession into words is almost impossible. I am currently watching it for the 3rd time and get so sad every time it ends, it's that good!
I was blown away from the moment I started watching this, there was no drama, no fill-in scenes, amazing acting, and realistic circumstances. I was watching a full mature chinese drama that wasn't only 'okay' but was actually amazing, something I hadn't seen in a long time. I kept expecting for something weird or unnecessary to happen, but it never did.
The young actress absolutely charmed me, and I had a short struggle adapting to the 'older' version played by Lu Si, but fear not, for it didn't take long for me to fall in love with this new version of the FL and ugly cry for her and her love struggles. I have now become a passionate fan. The ML was enchanting and his portrayal of emotions really pulled me into the story - to say that I wished I was the FL in this drama would be an understatement.
The music really complemented the story and was tastefully implemented, although there were a few scenes which I thought could have gone without. The cast was good, specially the FL's parents and brother.
In short and without any exaggeration, please watch this drama. For your sake and for my happiness, gift yourself 24 hours of an absolute wonderful series that will not leave you disappointed. I hope you can feel my joy and glee for this drama through your screen into your heart. Be happy, watch Hidden Love!

Beautiful romance that is flawless - 10/10 recommend!
My God, I thought Iâd seen the nicest man in the last drama I watched but now we have Jiaxu! He literally has no flaws!!This drama is a 10/10 for me, and I donât give 10/10 easily! There was nothing wrong with it in my eyes. Itâs so rich in chemistry between the leads. Get yourself a man who treats you the way Jiaxu treats Sang Zhi đ„°
I literally couldnât hold back from smiling the whole way through.
I loved how Jiaxu fell in love with her over time; and when he knew for sure that she liked him đ€ Ughhh I could gush about it for days!
I will admit that although I knew they would end up together, I couldnât help but feel a tiny bit weirded out in the beginning. Especially because they had a younger actress playing young Sang Zhi meanwhile it was still the same actor playing Jiaxu. Btw, the young Sang Zhi looked about 10, not 14.
The brother is so funny although it was a dog move to hit Jiaxu.
I loved how Sang Zhi stood up to the crazy girl about it not being Jiaxuâs fault that her dad died.
It was the smoothest sailing romance that progressed in the sweetest way possible. The ending was also perfect! 10/10 - a must watch!

i love hidden love. i can say that this is the best drama 2023 and this this the first time i started to watch chinese drama. i can rewatch this drama more than 10 times until now. i can't move on from this drama. everything is excellent, the story, the acting/the cast, the ost everything is perfect. i love hidden love. i love hidden love. i love chen zhe yuan and zhaou lusi. they can play the role very well. With a total of 25 episodes, I think this Hidden Love drama is really light. The conflict is not too heavy that makes us stressed, instead it makes us smile and smile to see Sang Zhi and Duan Jia Xuso you guys have to watch hidden love. I'm sure you guys must love it as much as I do.

âĄTruly AmazingâĄ
STORY:The plot of this show is absolutely incredible. It is very well developed for a cutsey romance show. It shows realistic themes and life-like situations along with heartfelt and romantic scenes to really give you a show that is entertaining and relatable for many in some ways.
ACTING/CAST:
The cast was well-chosen without a single doubt. Chen Zheyuan is an amazing actor along with Zhoa Lusi. They were able to play their characters with the perfect emotions and behaviors. The whole cast made the whole show an easy watch with their incredible acting.
MUSIC:
The OST of Hidden Love is absoutely perfect. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to the songs from this show because they are so good. My mom even listens to them even though she hasn't watched the show. They also perfectly match each mood of the show to give the watchers a better expierence.
REWATCH VALUE:
I rewatched this show with my sister who had not seen it yet not long after I watched it for the first time, and I payed attention to every single episode and always wanted to keep watching. The plot is not boring and enables past watchers to still enjoy watching it for a second, third, or even fourth time. This si also one of my go-to shows when I'm not fully paying attention and need some background noise or something I can look over and tune-in every couple of minutes. This show doesn't get old and is a perfect choice for a rewatch.
OVERALL:
Overall, Hidden Love is a pretty much perfect show (as you could probably tell from my rating). Every aspect of this show is amazing and, from my knowledge, it is one of the most recommended and loved Chinese dramas. This is definitely a show you should consider watching if you haven't already, or rewatching if you have!

LUVVVVVVVV THIS SHOW
A few months back I watched the Netflix trailer for it but It didn't really seem to be my type of show until I finally came back to watching more c-dramas~! I regret not watching this sooner.. i watched this so quick and I regret that too I feel so empty ToT 100% recommend if you like romance, youth, age gap and high school! Can anyone find me very very similar dramas like this? I also watched WIFTY which I watched so quickly!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
"It was whole five years. I healed the wounds of his .He fulfilled my first young love "
It had the best writing ,best acting,best music ,best everything !Firstly about all the actors ,they did very well with micro expressions .Apart from the leads ,I loved the acting of the ' sang yan ' and the 3 other friends of sang zhi .
coming to the writing , it was damn realistic and yet interesting . I need to appreciate the attention to detail . I know that it is adapted from novel but still the team did very well in adapting the story into a drama and making it very memorable .
genreally music dominates the scenes mostly ,which diconnects the viewer ,but here it's completely contrast ,music blends with the visuals and uplifts them .Music at the emotional breakdowns of sang zhi and Duan 'll make viewer emphatize with them . I could write pages about the music of this drama .
I repeat everything about this drama is so perfect ! It is a one such drama that a keen drama watcher should never miss at any cost !
I just want to brainwash / erase my brain and want to join Duan and sangzhi 's story from the very start again !
I think there'll be no sequel but i'll be very greatful if there is something like that ,just i want to see them again đ

Very cute and non toxic relationship drama
This drama is so good and cute you will fall in love from episode 1 itself , this drama revolves around a school girl falling in love with a 5 years age gap boy (brothers friend) the one sided love she had for him and fighting for his love desperately and then male lead actor didnât know about her love but loved her when she was in college and he has such a gentleman character I love those kind of characters , hope more dramas shows such gentle characters boys, this drama showed about friendship , family, one sided love , responsibility of the family burden , cute love story without any 3 rd person involved no fights no sad tears it was really a best and sweet drama I enjoyed every episode and the female lead also had a attractive character not a baby and innocent girl not a badass girl it is just a ambiverg character who can be silent as kid as well as matured and brave character who wants to protect her boyfriend well done story highly recommendedVond je deze recentie nuttig?

I think every person, especially girls, can relate to Sang Zhi because, at some point, all of us fall for that one person who we can't confess our feelings to for different reasons. I like this drama a lot. I usually don't like Chinese dramas because most of them are too long or some have historical plots that I don't like. There are very few historical Chinese dramas that I watched, but I obviously loved them. But again, they were so long, so when I had enough of long dramas, I decided to stop watching them anymore.I wanted to watch this for a long time but couldn't get free time, but really, the wait was worth it. I enjoyed it so much, and I cry a lot. One thing I didn't like about Sang Zhi's character was that she was too simple, like she always nodded her head whenever Jia Xu stopped her from doing anything. I mean, no offense. Obviously, he was just worried for her in the whole drama, but still, I think she needs to stop him some time (like when he stopped her from dating when she was already an adult and was already in university). It's understandable that he just wants to protect her, but still, because she was in her move-on phase, she needs to push him and stop him from interfering, especially when he meets her after 2 years. From a girl's point of view, it feels more controlling than worrying about her. I mean, it's understandable that you love him so much, but still, it doesn't mean you have to do everything he tells you to do. On one side, you're saying that you're already an adult, and on the other, you're letting him make decisions for you. seriously?
As for Jia Xu, I think he should have understood that Sang Zhi is his best friend's younger sister and not his, so he needs to stay in his lane and not interfere in her matters as long as she isn't asking for help or isn't in danger. These two really frustrate me on this. As for their friends, especially Sang Zhi's friends, they were so supportive that I really want friends like them. They were ideal friends.
Let's not forget about the ongoing sibling quarrel. They were so cute and adorable throughout the drama, and I wish I had a brother like him; they were just so adorable. It was a horror when he found out that his baby sister was dating his best friend. I was actually expecting the beating, but I didn't think that they'd sort it out in a night. It was funny when Sang Zhi fought for Jia Xu with her brother in the cafe and then changed sides when she found out that her boyfriend punched her brother. That scene was so cute that I really wanted to pinch Sang Zhi's cheeks there.
Over all, the drama was too goodâmore than I expected. I waited to watch this drama because I was busy, but I think the wait was worth it. I'm in love with them.

Fluffy, comfy and stress-free drama
This is my first time to comment and give a review here in MDL and I'm happy it's about Hidden Love. Here's my two cents.I havenât really been INTO Chinese dramas until Hidden Love. I watched a few of them that are really eye catching but itâs very seldom. Hidden Love opened the doors for me to notice other notable C-dramas out there.
SPOILER ALERT!!!
What I love about it?
1. The storyline. Hidden Love mastered the art of portraying the spirits of youthful love, like those heart fluttering feelings when you have a secret crush on someone are SPOT ON. It transported me back to the early days of our relationship with my then boyfriend, now husband of which I can relate to the feelings Sang Zhi felt towards Duan Jiaxu because thatâs EXACTLY how I felt towards my BF. Apart from that, I love that there are no evil 2nd leads in the story that would challenge the main leadsâ relationship as well as there are no overbearing, overprotective parents/family members. I love how they wrapped up the drama with the best marriage proposal ever. Who wouldnât melt with this line, âSix words. Only one person in a lifetime.â My tears just keep rolling here together with SZ and DJX.
2. The casts. From the main leads to the supporting casts, all of them did their parts exceptionally well. Kudos to the casting team on finding these actors who brought our beloved characters to life! Zhao Lusi and Chen Zheyuan are the perfect Sang Zhi and Duan Jiaxu, there could be no one other than them. They will forever be immortalized in my system.
3. The OSTs. I think one of the things that made this drama successful are the OSTs played in the series. Seldom do I find a drama where I enjoyed almost all songs included in the official soundtrack. With Hidden Love, all songs felt comfortable to listen to even if I donât understand the lyrics, the melody are relaxing and sets you in a mood. Zhao Lusi contributed two songs in the OST which I soooo love dearly â âI Just Want To Hide You Secretlyâ with Silence Wang and âI Have Someone I Likeâ. Victor Ma who played as Sang Zhiâs brother (Sang Yan) also contributed to the OST with his song âBe Your Lightâ. I couldn't tell which is my favorite because all of them are just sooo good.
4. The BTS. Their behind-the-scenes interaction can easily become a drama of its own. You can see how happy the atmosphere on set was. If the chemistry of the main leads is already top-notch in the drama, then their BTS is way beyond that which made me pine for them to be a REAL-LIFE couple. They are just sooooo amazing and comfortable with each other.
Hidden Love will forever be my âgo toâ comfort drama, when I just want to have a relaxing, happy viewing to cap a long, stressful week. As of writing, I am re-watching this series for the third time. And it never disappoints every single time.

The cutest couple ever <333
For the people trying to get into Cdramas, this is the best one to start with!! The story is the cutest and also for the people concerned about the age gap: the ML doesn't fall in love with the FL until she is in college and he also doesn't watch her grow up and I think it's definitely worth watching. This is the healthiest relationship I have ever seen in a drama They are both such green flangs!!!! They don't leave each other in bad situations and stand up for each other I think your standards will be at their highest after watching it :')Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
