Falling in love with your Brother's bro
The chemistry between the characters is absolutely adorable, and the acting is top-notch—it's hard not to get invested. The storyline, centered around falling in love with your brother's friend, is both charming and cute.I especially appreciate the sibling dynamics; they feel authentic and refreshing without being overly dramatic. It’s lovely to see the growth of the main relationship unfold naturally, adding depth to their connection. The tension between the ML and the FL's brother is particularly well done—their interactions are intense and well-acted, keeping me on the edge of my seat!
And can we talk about the OST? It’s phenomenal! I find myself replaying the songs over and over again; they perfectly capture the emotions of the series and enhance the overall experience.

Nothing special
I heard so much about it so thought to watchDrop after forest twenty min
The young girl who played Zhao lusi is v young May be 9 or ten. And it becomes creepy to see her fall in love
When Zhao lusi is 17 why she talks in whining voice. , have the director been to ny high school girls in grade ten and 11 don’t talk like this , ny one seen going for high jump with cap?
She hurt her leg and they carry her on back what happened to wheel chair?
so far male lead is the only saving grace I might watch till they grow up but if it’s still same I might drop

Trope and juvenile
This is a juvenile drama and should be watched as such. It is trope and adolescent to be crushing someone. It is very innocent (or naive depending on your viewpoint) and pure as some reviewers have commented. It is refreshing even compared to some other teen dramas which nowadays focus on difficult themes like bullying or the stress/pressure of academic excellence or suicide ideation. However, I couldn't help but get vibes of paedophilic grooming especially in the first episode with the 14 yo Sang Zhi and developed a strong 'ick' factor.I seriously don't know how this drama can rate so highly compared to real meaty dramas. I watched hoping it would get more 'adult' and meaty but finally gave up. I really liked Zhao Lu Si and her portrayal of a high school student was spot on. Young love is pure and juvenile and one has to be in the right mood for it. Unfortunately, I'm not.

Moral and ethical decision
It is outrageous that people rate story as 10.The big ethical and moral issues is in promoting or encouraging very young underage girls that is ok for them to be in love with much older guys. In real life that can be very troubling if they encounter unethical person who will take advantage of them. Once ethical doubts is created, its hard to like relationship between two actors, story becomes unpalatable. I do not have problems with love stories between adults, but involving underage children is no go.

Another show rated highly because the actors are pretty?
I watched about 5 episodes and dropped it.It's a decent show with decent acting, but I found it borderline unbearable for the following reasons:
1. It's PAINFULLY slow and uneventful. If you're looking for a fun, nice pacing, eventful show that will stir your emotions to really get hooked on, to me, this definitely isn't it. I can definitely see this show being compressed into a 10-15 episode show.
2. The demeanor, especially the main girl, is almost annoyingly reserved, quiet and shy. Basically, the poster girl that they want to portray in China. This is their ideal girlfriend / wife material, very different IMO from how it actually is.
3. I follow the news of how China actually is now, just makes it harder to stomach. They basically want to pretend to the rest of the world that their lives are filled with beautiful houses, an extremely peaceful and secure existence, with beautiful people. It's made to be visually pleasing for the rest of the world to view, but there's not much going on. A big facade to the chaos and mayhem that's actually over there, especially for regular people. If you watch the news, it's anything but that. I know a lot of these Asian dramas kinda do the same, but I think it's ESPECIALLY true due to how horribly they're actually treated over there now and in the last few years.

Na co czekasz? Marsz oglądać Hideen Love!!!
To piękna seria i myślę, że zasługuje na cały ten szum. Uwielbiam sposób, w jaki to wszystko się kończy i bez wątpienia jest to jeden z najwybitniejszych seriali 2023 roku.Fabuła:
W tej historii dziewczyna o imieniu Sang Zhi zakochuje się w Duan Jia Xu, najlepszym przyjacielu jej brata. Jia Xu traktuje Sang Zhi jak siostrę, jednak Sang Zhi zakochała się w nim od pierwszego spotkania. Z biegiem czasu i Jia Xu również zakochuje się w Sang Zhi.
W całej fabule, która jest bardzo dobrze rozwinięta, przedstawiono różne okresy życia Sang Zhi i Duan Jia Xu, od pierwszego spotkania do momentu, kiedy zaczęli się spotykać. Jest bardzo lekki i przestronny i pokazuje różne etapy relacji.
Ciekawostka:
Zhao Lu Si (Sang Zhi) i Chen Zhe Yuan (Duan Jia Xu) skutecznie pracowali nad przedstawieniem swoich osobowości. Mają fantastyczną chemię na ekranie i poza nim. Seria staje się lepsza dzięki doskonałej komunikacji i zrozumieniu bohaterów. ZLS pokazuje, jak Sang Zhi dojrzewa jako postać. Victor Ma również świetnie się spisał, wcielając się w rolę brata, który przeszkadza swojej siostrze i mimo wszystko wciąż się o nią troszczy. Zhao Li So oraz Victor są przyjaciółmi poza planem filmowym i to właśnie dzięki nim powstała taka wspaniała powieść jak Hidden Love, Li So sama ze swoje kieszenie sponsorowała ta drame i opłacała aktorów to właśnie ona poprosiła Victora aby zagrał jej brata. Robili co mogli po takich kosztach, aby powstało takie dzieło ?
Dwadzieścia pięć odcinków to dla mnie zdecydowanie za mało, ale to bez wątpienia idealna długość. Gorąco zachęcam każdego, kto nie widział, do obejrzenia tej dramy – to ciepłe i piękne dzieło sztuki!

Well-written, light and heartwarming drama
Finally, have finished watching all the 25 episodes. You may see some comments I made while watching the drama in the "Comments" section.Tbh, I seldom watch Chinese dramas, let alone write reviews, but I think this drama deserves my review. It is a very well-written, light and heartwarming drama about a young girl who had a crush (or "puppy love" as they called it) on her brother's best friend when she was a teenager, which develops into genuine and unconditional love for him when she enters university and becomes an adult.
I love the storyline, it's simple, light, and heartwarming, without any major villains -- the only so-called "villains" would be the ML's ex-creditor who kept on harassing him, and her friend who happened to be the FL's superior in the company where she's interned, and some schoolgirl bullies who bullied the FL's friend when they were still at school.
The rest are all positive characters with heartwarming relationships and their respective chemistries. I love the brother-sister relationship between FL and her brother, as well as between FL and her brother's friend with whom she is secretly having feelings. Love how they act as protective elder brothers to protect their mei mei from bullies. Love the bickering between the elder brother and the younger sister. Their acting is awesome and feels natural.
I also love the buddy friendship between the ML and the FL's elder brother, as well as the friendship between the FL and her three roommates at the university. I also love the FL's parents, both the mom and dad are portrayed as ideal parents who eventually are very supportive of their daughter.
Everything is being portrayed warmly. I believe this is partly due to the amazing acting performance of the actors, not only the main actors but the supporting actors as well. Their acting is awesome and feels natural. The main lead actress, Zhao Lusi, stands out for being able to portray the main FL character from her teenage years until she graduates from university. She is very pretty, cute and adorable. I also love the acting of the SML Victor Ma, who portrays the FL's elder brother. His bickering and interaction with her little sister (both the young and the adult version of the sister) is very heartwarming to watch - thanks to his superior acting skills.
Another thing, the younger FL character is depicted to be 14 years old (8th grade), but the young actress portraying the character (Zhang Xi Wei) seems to be younger, around 11-12 years old, I think? Her acting is awesome for a child actress her age, it's always a delight watching her on screen in the earlier episodes. I predict she will become an amazing great actress when she grows up.
It's a highly recommended drama everyone should watch.

Cuteness Overload?
If ur into first love kind of drama then this must be ur thing. Since it's Zhao Lusi i have nothing to say against it, as always she's giving her best shot into acting that made it look realistic and convincing. She's superb anyway! She's so versatile in terms of her acting. And when it come to chemistry within her ML she's a Queen .A must watch drama. I highly recommend????Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
THE ONLY COMING OF AGE FLUFFY LOVE WORTH WATCHING
I had put this drama at the back burner for awhile now and when i ran out tears from watching historical hearth breaking Kdramas, I picked it up to revive my heart and heal my shattered emotions.I always keep Zhao Lusi's work safe in a corner and watch when i need motivation and a few laughs cos this girl can give you hope with her talent and her mental dialogues.If you watch her drama just know that you will be watching another drama inside the drama,Zhao lusi make up her own side dialogues,you will have hard time differentiating the real vs the acting,she a natural,am sure directors and script writers often agree with her additional input.Another reason I hadnt watched HL was because I tend to stay away from over hyped dramas but Zhao Lusi made me break my strike cos i knew whatever she touched would be gold.
Now I understood why people loved it soo hard,I found myself scrolling the BTS for one hour just because i couldnt move on from it.The acting for all that were involved was top notch,the was few complexities but they didnt last long and the ML back story was the only thing that brought few drops to my eyes and to see someone going though this pain but pushing through was amazing..And him meeting the FL character and learning to love and be loved again isnt what we all thrive for?The siblings relationship was the best in all Cdramas.
The OST that accompanied these moments was wow,the only thing I love about Netflix picked shows is that the music will be fire like the chemistry between these two leads.Am old enough to know better but i found myself having to need air and oxygen cos wow,the stares themselves would melt the iceberg.. They knew how to do it,especially the ML...this man is the king of deep stares.
To future viewers go ahead and be fluffed by this well acted young love without cliches

Sweet romance done well.
'Hidden Love' boasts a deceptively simple premise, masterfully executed. Before delving into the finer details, let's start with a spoiler-free overview:Sang Zhi's childhood crush on her brother's close friend, Duan Jiaxu, initially results in her heartache. However, their paths unexpectedly cross again, prompting Duan Jiaxu to question his own emotions. Thus begins a captivating tale of endearing longing.
While the "she fell first, but he fell harder" trope isn't my personal favorite, I can't help but admire the impeccable craftsmanship of this love story. The development of their relationship avoids feeling contrived, a pitfall common to such simple premise dramas. The credit goes not only to the skillful acting but also to the engaging script, which seamlessly weaves banter that ignites their chemistry.
My main qualm with the narrative stems from the peripheral storylines that felt more like endurance tests than enjoyable diversions, along with the unnecessarily grim backstory of the male lead. A tragic backstory is welcome, but this one felt forced. Additionally, the character of Jiang Ying, the daughter of the man the male lead's father killed, was extremely unrealistic. While she did catalyze delightful interactions between the leads, her portrayal seemed detached from reality.
Another area of concern lies in the handling of the "parents" subplot. Mainly because neither lead really spoke to each other about the problem their parents had besides the fact that the ML has less money which, as the viewer, wasn't the problem I cared about. It's perplexing how the two protagonists avoided addressing the elephant in the room – the implications of their relationship's origins. Specifically, they never spoke together about how their relationship could be perceived due to the circumstances of them meeting. ML seems to just accept punishment which implies he agrees its wrong, rather than explaining that when she was young, he never saw her in that way. I think this could the reason it was critiqued by some people, if they could've just had him say 'but when we first met, I really didn't see you in that way' clearly, I think many controversies could be avoided. (I understand that it is implied he doesn't see her in that way, but I personally would've preferred it to be said specifically, especially with such a sensitive topic).
Despite these reservations, the pacing of 'Hidden Love' remains a standout, especially within its genre. Although the narrative takes a somber turn towards the end, the moments of tenderness shared by the leads effectively balance the tone while driving the story forward.
Turning to the acting, it's a commendable aspect of the show. Both leads opted against dubbing, and if they did use it, it was seamless. Zhao Lusi's portrayal is a breath of fresh air, her meticulous attention to mannerisms allowing her to convincingly embody different ages. Chen Zheyuan's performance as the mature and protective yet not overbearing or creepy boyfriend is equally praiseworthy. The palpable chemistry they share adds to the authenticity of their bond.
As someone not particularly drawn to music, I must applaud the drama's soundtrack. It's one of the rare cases where I found myself listening to the OST even after the show's conclusion.
In summation, 'Hidden Love' is an exceptional drama characterized by stellar performances. The dialogue exudes wholesomeness and believability, with the chemistry between the leads emerging as the series' crowning jewel. While a few narrative aspects could have been refined, the overall experience remains truly captivating.
