Finally a CDrama that competes with KDrama
So many CDrama's are small stories dragged out into 30 or 40 episodes with music scoring that make you cringe. Not so with "Hidden Love". From the start to the finish the script builds on each main character. Location shots and production values were more like a high-end KDrama with attention given to detail without shoving too many product placement adds. The star of the show is absolutely Zhao Lu Si, but my favorite is the young girl Zhang Xi Wei who plays the young Zhao Lu Si. She plays a 14 year old middle school student who develop a crush on the ML and constantly fights with her older brother. But there is real love between them and the bonds of their family are strong and healthy. A real plus in my mind when so many dramas focus on dysfunctional families.Highly recommend this to any KDrama watcher who has given up on CDramas!

It will change everything!!
Hidden love OMG! I’m still over this show it is is one of the best Cdramas I’ve ever watched.I have never really watched C-dramas before and I didn’t think i would but that all changed. I was scrolling through tick tock and on my FYP there were so many videos about this show Hidden Love and even still I wasn’t interested until one day I had nothing to watch and I saw it pop up again on my FYP and I was like okay I’ll watch it. That’s when everything changed!
As I was watching this show in the beginning the few first episodes I was like oh no i hope he doesn’t have any interest in her cause she was still a change and she was clearly in love with him. So I had a few reservations in the beginning thinking that he will like her back and it would just be a no no cause she is clearly very young. As I continued the show I saw that he only saw her as a baby sister and that eased me a little that nothing was going to happen and she would find someone her age.
Then she grows up and goes to the university but at rage same town that he moved to and I was like ok let’s see what happens. When they first met again (after those years of them not being in contact ) at the club I could feel the chemistry oozy from the both of them and it got me hooked I was like yes that connection. Conversation that was had with those eyes was fire.
We see that Duan Jia Xu has had a hard past very very rough and when we see those flashbacks and all that he went through your heart can’t help but break for him. When I say I was crying buckets because of that he had basically no one. He had to rely on himself and payoff the debt that his father owed. He didn’t have a proper childhood and to make it worse even after he paid his debt Jiang Ying still kept harassing him and making his life miserable. Just because his father did something so wrong and hurtful doesn’t mean Jiang Ying had to pay for the debt the rest of his life.
We can clearly see that Sang Zhi is still in love with Duan Jia Xu and it was so fun and cute watching their love grow going through the uncomfortable, awkward and misunderstanding moments. I was rooting for them all the way. Duan Jia Xu’S jealous to him buying her strawberries cause he knows how much she loves them. They are good together they have helped each other deal. I love how Sang Zhi is ready to fight for Duan Jia Xu no matter what she doesn’t care the reason but she is always on his side. Duan Jia Xu needed her for she showed his true love and she cared about him and reassured his. This is one if the greenest flags in a relationship on both the male lead and female lead.
Not forgetting how broken Duan Jia Xu was when both his parents died and he said “I’m really old now that both my parents have died “ that broke me I cried for him that was so sad cause he was alone now but Sang Zhi was there for him and they both went to his mothers grave and she promised that he will never be alone and that she will love him and give him a family.
I really could go on and on about how much this show was just realistic and health. From the lead actors to the supporting actors everything was chefs kiss. This has been one of the best dramas for the year it was truly incredible and I hope there are more shows like this.
I would highly recommend this show over and over again to anyone cause it will definitely change everything for you and how you see life. Here’s to me hoping I find my own Duan Jia Xu!!!!

best cdrama i've seen
MUST WATCH. HAPPY ENDING!!!!I'd give it ♾️¹⁰ stars out of 5 if it were available.
Duan Jiaxu, is thus far, the best character ever created. He surpasses Adam Carlsen and Jonathan Smith Turner. And that is something coming from me. Chen Zheyuan played his character beautifully. I can't imagine anybody doing it better than him. His chemistry with Zhao Lusi is so perfect. They are the best couple ever. No fictional character has made my heart beat so fast, so often. The screenplay, the direction, the attention to the little detail, everything is done so perfectly, with so much finesse. Whenever I watch any drama, or movie or read a book, there are always some scenes or narratives, or some character developments, or some things that I have wanted to change and do it my way, but damn, there was not one scene, not one single thing that I wanted to change in this whole drama. I loved it so much. It was better than even Doctors kdrama, even the love hypothesis is not quite as good as this. Wow! Just wow!

Sweet Romance Teenager Story!♥
My new comfort drama ever!! The plot is very simple but really beautiful, I really enjoyed watching the drama which made me smile without realizing it^^ Zhao Lusi as Sang Zhi and Chen Zheyuan as Duan Jia Xu are the right choice and really suit their characters well. Their chemistry was extraordinary and look so natural♥I like seeing the development of Sang Zhi's character from a cute and spoiled high school student to a mature, brave and open-minded college student also Duan Jia xu, very dreamy character, wondering where I can find a man like him ಥ_ಥ
One of my fav cdramas that I would recommend to many people because this drama really worth to watching over and over again!

My Most Re-Watched Drama
I was not into C-Drama till I watched Hidden Love. When I saw my brother smiling while watching it, I got curious and the scenes I initially saw amused me that I got glued in my seat...I guess you know what transpired after that.It is a simple story of young and innocent love that has grown into a pure, dedicated and selfless love...initially in Sang Zhi's character, but has also been displayed by Duan Jiaxhu (two main leads) in the latter part. As what this drama's fans often cite in various socmed platforms, Sang Zhi fell first, but Duan Jiazhu fell harder. ?
I just love how the actors have fittingly personified the characters, and how they all complemented one another that us audience were actually drawn into their story. They all gave justice to their roles, especially the two main leads and Sang Yan, Sang Zhi's brother. It was like we're in a reality drama where we cannot help but watch what happens next.
Simple as it seems, still we cannot foretell the succeeding scenes or events in the story unlike the typical Filipino dramas (reason why I switched to K-Dramas). The cinematography is excellent, while the OST's are great, particularly Forever Star which has become my fave. I especially like that the story deviated from the usual conflicts brought about by a third party, a grave issue and the likes.
I watched it 3x already and will watch it again for sure (has been following updates about Zhao Lusi and Chen Zheyuan now ?).

Hidden Love, Hidden Gem, Hidden Talent
What I really liked about this drama was not only the romance, but the couple’s journey itself. Sang Zhi’s coming of age was a lovely and relatable tale. Including Jiaxu’s and Sang Yan’s transition to working adult-hood. I felt like I wasn’t alone. They were worried about college and graduating, and then there was the having to find a job and stick with it. Those aspects made me really enjoy the show. Adulting is hard but it’s not unbearable. Especially when you have a friend or family beside you.And in episode 23, Sang Zhi’s love confession was everything. I think this scene was acted so well. Zhi looked so pretty. And Jiaxu looked so handsome. The actors really stunned me here. Second to “The Day of Becoming You”, I’d say this is one of the best love confessions in all of CDRAMA history. I really felt that scene. I’ll always go back to it.
I liked how steadfast Zhi was when it came to her love for Jiaxu. She was bold, and her personality really came alive. I like how when people came at Jiaxu wrong, she’d defend him. Wholeheartedly. With no effs to give. I’m really, Duan Jiaxu held on to her love as well.
Jiaxu was a good character too. He always said what he meant, and was extremely genuine as a best friend and boyfriend. He was never out of line. Zhi was great at reading people. And wasn’t cringe.
And I really adored Zhi’s older brother. His fashion style fit the actor and made him even more attractive. Yan’s personality really gave the show some relief. He was understandable and he never alienated Jiaxu or his sister when it came to their relationship. I was so annoyed with him at one point, but his personality and smile made me feel all fuzzy inside too. I was so sad when he was off-screen sometimes. He was a good older brother, who never hesitated when it came to defending his sister from the bullies.
Overall, this drama will always hold a special place in my heart. The characters did and said what you wanted them to say (which was pleasantly surprising). And none of the characters that mattered were harmed in any serious way. I wish I had a friend like WeiWei and the others. Alas, I can only write about friends I wish I had.
Will watch again one day. I recommend! 10/10!
P.S.
There’s no grooming or weird-isms in this drama. So, don’t let some weird words from others cause you to overlook this drama.

Contando estrelas
A história é leve e toda sentimental. Quem nunca teve um Crush mais velho e improvável que atire a primeira pedra ...Quando o DJX percebe que gosta da Zhi e começa a mudar de atitude com ela pra demostrar seus sentimentos é muito fofo, ver o debate interno que ele supera por ela ser mais nova e irmã do melhor amigo dele (que também é muito bonito por sinal, não podemos esquecer disso).
Gostei da Zhi ter se segurado um pouco antes de aceitar o namoro, ela merecia ser conquistada depois de tanta espera!

“Our story begins when he was 22 and ends when I was 22.” – Sang Zhi
*** Spoiler Alert (PERSONAL FEEDBACK)Title : Hidden Love – 2023 (Complete 25 Episode)
Personal Rating : 10/10
“Our story begins when he was 22 and ends when I was 22.” – Sang Zhi
One of the best modern dramas and power couple. Their chemistry is top notch, and their acting was so natural. ❤️
Sang Zhi (Played by Zhao Lusi) is smart, pretty, kind, bit spoiled and immature (when she was a kid). And have a big crush on her brother’s best friend Duan Jia Xu.
Duan Jia Xu (Played by Chen Zhe Yuan) is handsome, smart, kind, hardworking and best friend of Sang Yan (Sang Zhi’s older brother)
The story is a about a girl who have a big crush and hidden love with his older brother’s best friend. Chen Zhe Yuan met Sang Zhi when she was still in the 8th grade. She needed help from his real brother but instead Chen Zhe Yuan helped her and pretended to be Sang Yan.
Then, they met again when she was in 11th grade and from then onwards, she started to like him. She wanted to attend Chen Zhe Yuan university to be closer to him. Before Sang Zhi graduated from high school, she heard the news that Chen Zhe Yuan had got a girlfriend. She felt heartbroken and betrayed since they promised each other that when he got a girlfriend he would inform her, from that point she let go of her feelings to Chen Zhe Yuan till they met again when she became an adult.
When she became an adult, she felt like whatever feeling he had for Chen Zhe Yuan is still there, she never forgets him, she loves him deeply to the point that she wishes that he will never be alone, and she will be always on his side.
At first Chen Zhe Yuan didn’t have the same feeling for Sang Zhi since he treated her as a little sister. And they have a 5-year age gap. But when they started to hang out together, he fell in love with her kindness and protectiveness. He felt like he could not accept someone to be with Sang Zhi other than him, so he started courting her. And of course, they ended up being together.
Overall, Hidden Love is my number 1 modern drama as of today, it was pure innocent love for me. The story may have ups and downs but still it is not as scheming, and tragic as other dramas can be. I love how Sang Zhi is so protective with Chen Zhe Yuan and how Chen Zhe Yuan will do everything for Sang Zhi. Others may find it awkward since Chen Zhe Yuan knew Sang Zhi when she was still in 8th grade and there is a 5-year age gap but heeeeellloooo!!!!!! What is wrong in 5 years age gap? If it is pure, kind love there is nothing wrong with it. I watched this drama more than 5 times. It is so refreshing, so natural and so addicting. Definitely worth watching if you like a light, pure, from teenage to adulthood love story! ❤️
GENRE – Modern, Romantic, Comedy,
OST – You Are My Only Wish by Zhang Bichen & I Have Someone I Like by Zhao Lusi ( so addicting!!! )
CAST – Zhao Lusi, Chen Zhe Yuan
