Hidden Love (2023)

Simplesmente o MELHOR DORAMA!

A pergunta é, como não ficar apaixonada neste dorama?
Eu recomendo você ver essa obra quando tiver com tempo para poder apreciar a historia e aproveitar o sentimento de ve-lo pela primeira vez!
A cada episódio é um novo frio na barriga. A maneira como eles retratam a historia de forma detalhada e certeira te faz assistir variooos episódios e nem ver o tempo passar. Geralmente os doramas chinês tem uma pegada mais corrida, acontecimentos rápidos e sem muito detalhe, entretanto Hidden love é diferente, ele te leva a realmente vivenciar a história, faz você sentir frio na barriga quando algo empolgante acontece, a encher os olhos d'água quando a trama trata algo comovente, você rir apaixonado junto com os personagens, e o principal, literalmente faz você se sentir dentro do dorama, e talvez seja por isso que ele está tão bem avaliado e com varias pessoas recomendando!
Não sou fã de C-drama (chinês), porém esse me pegou de surpresa de uma forma maravilhosa. A historia conta sobre Sang Zhi que se apaixona por Duan Jia Xu a primeira vista. No inicio achei que seria mais um clichê C-drama que assisto apenas pra matar o tempo, mas com passar dos episódios eu me vi tão presa a historia, e quando percebi que teria que esperar alguns dias para lançar outros ep me deparei com a ansiedade.
Essa serie com certeza vale a nota que está recebendo. Melhor dorama que assistir na minha vida com toda certeza (isso inclui chinês, coreano, japonês...)
É um dorama de primeiro amor. A protagonista é forte, decidida, inteligente e sensata, aonde ela sabe seu valor e é tratada como uma mulher que se valoriza é tratada (não gosto muito de c-drama por esse motivo, as mulheres aceita um tratamento muito pobre de seus parceiros, mas neste não temos isso). Sang Zhi é uma garota que sabe expressar sua doçura e ainda tem traços de uma personalidade forte e independente, é gentil e sem maldade, e acho que é por isso que Duan xu se encanta por ela.
O protagonista é sempre muito cuidadoso e carinhoso. Mesmo tendo a infância difícil não se tornou aqueles famosos personagens frios e sem coração. Duan xu trata a todos com carinho e gentileza e é exatamente por esse motivo que a ainda pequena Sang Zhi continua apaixonada por ele. Este ator é incrível em sua atuação sabendo transmitir os sentimentos pelo olhar de uma forma única.
Você torce pelo racionamento dos dois em TODOS episódios, mesmo quando ela é ainda pequena, e a forma como eles constroem o relacionamento é simplesmente linda e te leva a apaixonar junto com eles.

Esse dorama vale cada milésimo de segundo, cena e episódio. A OST é incrível, e super recomendo ouvir!

Enfim, super hiper mega RECOMENDO este dorama, e como disse, este é o melhor da minha vida de dorameira!

ASSISTAM!

The Secret Crush Of A Teenage Girl

I'm usually not a fan of C-dramas, especially if it's an adaptation of Manhua but this one is really good. Some scenes in the drama may be different from the novel+manhua but it still doesn't change the storyline or the mood. The main lead actors really suit the characters. Others say the male lead actor doesn't resemble the Duan Jiaxu but I think he does. And Zhao Lusi matches Sang Zhi a lot, mostly because of her cute nature. She can definitely show how Sang Zhi acted when she was worried by Jiaxu. I have seen many people not want to watch drama simply because of the age gap but honestly, it's only 5 years. The male lead does not fall for her until she's in university. People mistook him as flirting with her when she was younger but he was teasing her as a little sister. Jiaxu's story is told after she's in university and is also the reason why she felt more sympathy for him. Overall, you guys should definitely watch the drama and Manhua!

If you like Chic Flicks

Rated= 5~ 18/50 ~ 3.6
Scene // Zombie stumbling through an abandoned House. I can at least smack it with a club.


Which I don't 😂What comes to mind is Legally Blonde. If you like films along those lines, you may like this.

I'm writing this before I can even rate this because I'm not sure what to go with.

I don't like the back and forth timeline type of plot flow because I find it jarring and for the first few eps this show did this by jumping from 14 year old FL to 17 year old FL a number of times. I prefer a more A to B approach, or give us the flashback at once. But that may just be me.

Personally didn't mind the FL's romantic feelings in her school days as it is very much a crush and the ML treats her like a little sister, and a possible substitute family environment that he lost due to a tragedy in his own life. There are no signs of romantic intentions coming from him that made me feel uncomfortable or feel like it was crossing into grooming territory. I also appreciate how, despite the trauma, the ML is not a cold and distant asshole and the writers took him the other way by remaining firmly grounded and compassionate to others. I could even look at it as over compensating slightly.

When we get the FL into Uni and she's now legal (which is stated multiple times by the FL and side characters in case we were still unsure) the ML seems to have a personality transplant and devotes himself to pursuing the FL when he figures out that he is the 'crush'. You may choose to interpret previous behaviour up until this moment as, he does have feelings but is in denial or he is continuing his brotherly protector role. Either way, there's something missing in the ML transition from brother to boyfriend. I do appreciate the writers at least trying to portray an inner struggle but I feel like it could have been more developed. His feelings were pretty platonic to me and within one episode he was suddenly smug, cocky and hot on the FL's tail lights as soon as he realised that he was the one she was crying over. Something just feels off to me. I think that's where the plot has gone wrong despite the careful approach to the FL's age.

I either have to see it as A. he only became interested when he found out that she had long been interested in him, and she's an adult now so can make her own choices or B. he did have other feelings but had repressed them due to her age and once she was a legal adult, there was a greenlight.
There was a lot of focus on the FL being underage and not enough of a portrayal of how the ML was really feeling.

What would make me feel better is showing more of an inner dialogue for the ML. I need to see a genuine developing growth from the little sister figure he wants to protect to a woman he now admires and is developing romantic feelings for.
There was one scene in the car of him first questioning his feelings and that was it. They dangled the complicated human condition in front of me and then said, nah, that's too much work. Let's just skip to undying devotion now.

I think this is why there are some reviewers who are feeling uncomfortable with this show. The key component to the relationship is missing and the viewer is left with having to choose between A and B.

Which brings me to the next reason I'm dropping this show. The 'Chic Flick' feel. There is this candy coated approach to everything. The FL is clearly from a rich family so gorgeous big house, with an older brother who might as well be her dad. Parents who seem to dote on her endlessly and treat their son like her servant. The sickeningly cute dorm room of the FL uni and she's complete besties with her roomies. Oh, and the love at first sight pursuer just to make the ML jealous. Everything is very picturesque and I can't help but feel like I'm being sold something subliminally from pinterest.
I don't even need to look to the end to know that this show ends with a proposal, doesn't it?

Another thing that randomly stood out like a sore thumb to me, is that the FL loves to draw and is studying Digital media at Uni. Perhaps it's my own inner creative being annoying about this, but I feel like this arty side could have been utilised more within the plot as it's a core element of who the FL is as a person. But instead, I feel like it's reduced to an aesthetic for the show's visuals like the little title screens. That bothered me a little. At least there is some groundwork done for the ML and why he's a game developer.

Acting and music was really nothing noteworthy because my brain shut off a lot of the time or I was simply skipping scenes.
I held on through the 17 year old who acts and is treated like she's still 5 arc so I could get to the main course of the plot, the beginnings of the actual relationship. But now I feel like the writers must have felt the same way. Go through the cutesy, enjoying your crush girlhood stage, get the first heartbreak in there, reconnect, then jump straight to being pursued by said crush.

Also, the 'other girl'.....they really lost me on that one but I guess it wasn't a love triangle so there's that. Block and delete should have been on his mind somewhere and then a restraining order but he just kind of takes it and relies on his place of work to amp their security. I'm sorry but what?

*Edit* when I was re-reading for typos it occurred to me (to my horror) that this is a scenario where a love triangle would be a legit issue simply because it would give that feeling that the ML was at least trying to just live his life and not just subconsciously waiting for the FL to be of age. Even if it was just a few dates that were being regularly spoiled by stalker girl. He's in his mid 20s, incredibly good looking, steady job and drives but has never dated and rejects any attempts to get him to date. So why the sudden interest in the FL?

One of those shows that I waded through to get to the point and then it just kind of glossed over it preferring to stick to what everyone just wants to indulge in. A privileged girl being spoiled by everyone around her and her 'impossible' first love becoming a possible soulmate.

Great chemistry but pretty predictable plot

Acting was good, I liked the characters and the actors played it well. The chemistry between the two leads are good too.

However when it comes to the story, its pretty predictable, its something you can see to other romance stories, and not quite refreshing. Furthermore, there are flaws in the plot, like I feel it has too much episode for a simple story, some scenes can be out in the story like its not that necessary, plus I wish they could elaborate more the ML's feelings or experience from his past, and the first few episodes are pretty good, but as the story goes on, I lost interest.

Overall, the only thing I don't like about this is how story flows like it was too stretched, but I admit that some scenes are great, and the acting are great too.

Plot of the drama

This drama is quite a refreshing one for those who love the fantasy of elder brother's best friend and sister falling in love. Upon entering university Sang Zhi ( female protagonist) falls in love and makes sure of her feelings through her daily interactions with Duan Jiaxu (male protagonist) as they go through life's problems and solve them in their own way. Although DJ always sees SZ as a younger sister but slowly falls for her charms as time passes and discovers his inner feelings.
I personally liked the story because I like male actor and have watched all his previous works. Along with it I like their cute interactions and you can really gush over them. Overall I liked it and the story is a good one-time watch.

RECOMENDADISSIMO ❤

FL - Sang Zhi
ML - Duan Jiaxu

Melhor protagonista masculino da Dramaland.

Simplificando muito a estória, Jiaxu é melhor amigo do irmão da Sang Zhi. O drama inicia o irmão da FL voltando pra casa e apresentando o amigo pra familia. Dai surge um crush leve da FL com o ML. Eu digo leve porque FL é uma criança e o ML é um adolescente/adulto preste a entrar na faculdade. Por outro lado, o Jiaxu sempre tratou ela com uma irmã, ajudando ela na escola, sempre foi fofo com ela... atitudes normais de um ser humano e é isso que gosto nele. To resumindo uns 8 episódios. Jiaxu entra na faculdade, se forma e segue a vida. A Sang Zhi ver que aquilo que ela sente tem que ser superado, passa os anos, segue a vida e vai para a faculdade na mesma cidade de quem? Isso mesmo! Acertou! Jiaxu!

E é ai que o drama começa ficar maravilhoso!!! Eles dois adultos!!! Adultos, livres e desimpedidos! Entendeu meu raciocínio?! A magia acontece~~ ❤

JIAXU - Acho que eu nunca vi uma pessoa tão boa, prestativa, amiga, trabalhador, querido, um verdadeiro amor. Jiaxu é isso! Com um passado trágico, ele passou por poucas e boas na vida e mesmo assim, ele não se torna alguém amargo e sim um ser humano bom e altruísta. Ele é sozinho, carrega um fardo desde muito jovem então sempre trabalhou muito para resolver os problemas relacionado a família e nisso cresceu acostumado a resolver tudo por ele mesmo e a lidar com tudo sozinho. Então ele percebe que alguém se importa com ele!!! Gente, quando ele percebe isso é tão profundo. Olhar dele dizia tudo. Foi lindo!
E APARTIR DESSE DIA ELE SE TORNA O ATACANTE! FL que se segure!! kkkk

Sang ZHi - Que querida né?! Sempre demonstrou ser alegre, carismática, amiga, esperta, atacante tbm Ep18. Gosto muito das tomadas de decisão, ela sabe o que quer. Aprecio muito isso em uma protagonista feminina.
Ela tem uma família normal!!! Os pais são bons que apoiam ela em tudo- apesar do ep23. A relação com irmão é muito engraçada, muita quimica, pareciam irmão de verdade! As amigas são amigas de verdade, ajudando ela com o quesito amor e relacionamentos. Amei!

Que casal perfeito! Eles conversam, são amigos, fofos, Tudo De Bom e os beijos? perfeitos! ❤

Melhor drama do ano! Ele é responsável por dar mais uma chance para os cdramas! Agora minha lista de cdrama esta aumentando constantemente.

Zhao Lu Si e Chen Zhe Yuan ganharam meu coração, amei a atuação, a química tava lá!! Preciso urgente assistir outros dramas com eles, e eu soube que a China gosta de repetir casais então fica aqui minhas orações para que isso aconteça muito em breve. Amem!


Agora, vão lá assistir esse drama maravilhoso!

Just my thoughts on this show!!!

It was a random pick, no one recommended it to me, I watched a reel and immediately looked for it and yeah I finished all the 25 episodes plus a special so here is my honest review!!!
1. Reality / Fiction:
It's purely fiction💯, I understood how the author of original story created or made up a whole show on thought of "how it will look like if it's too good to be true"
All went well no drama indeed. it's far away from reality and only satisfies the delusions of ppl nvm!!!
2. Story:
A cliche, mediocre and typical, it's good to watch n nothing else, we can predict most of the scenes as what's happening already so.
3. Acting:
FL is such an expressive actress I really appreciate they way she played her role and ML too. Good chemistry.
4. The loop:
it's a delusional story of 'what too good to be true looks like' as I mentioned above, and the childish voice why was director okay with that. It's nice as it's fiction it can be uneasy and discomfort when we think in reality pov like
- 8th class, 14yr old girl first saw 19yr old boy, she likes him because he is good looking and then for kindness which came next after!!!🤓 idk it's her thoughts so idk
- 11th grade, 17yr girl crushing on 22yr guy, okay girl teenage phase can understand, she flew ✈️ to see him as she overheard a rumour like okay!!!
-1st year, 18yr old girl meeting 24yr guy and after being taken care of indeed he should fall for her right like on snowy day!!!🫡
-19yr old girl, her birthday, he is 25yr and it all started like nice, good for them it's fiction
after graduation 👇
-22 her and 27yr him, proposed right away like bro 😄, okay okay marry younger is what writer is telling and settling in life by that age. such delusions.
.
The story is so sweet like good roomates, no exs bs, good parents, good everything and story of ml idk it's unsettling even as fiction. idk why I watched but went on coz I'm bored.
.
Well age is just a number and maturity comes with experiences then idgaf with drama logic because its a pure delulu story. wake up to really pals!!!
.
overall, Looks good only to watch and nothing great or impactful drama so, 8.5 star for ost and for crew who worked on this drama, it's my personal opinion so nvm!!!
.
have a great day 💚

Suggest you start at episode 8

I overall liked this drama, but I hated how young they had the youngest Sang Zhi look. There was too much time taken for the scenes where they were younger and I have a fondness for age-gap stories, provided they don't creep me out. (so for me, historical is better than modern, the older the characters, the more comfortable I am in general.) And the eventual love story that occurs doesn't creep me out, but some of those early episodes would make me feel uncomfortable in a couple places, knowing where it was going.

So, when I rewatched, I just skipped those first 8 eps and there were enough flashbacks to tell the story well enough, IMO, and then I still knew she's had a crush on him for forever, but I didn't feel like he was being creepy at all. (I know he's clueless when she's young, but because I "know the future", it can just be looked at in an ugly lens.)

Past ep 8, it's a heartwarming love story, with many of the familiar tropes. But I do like that her mom gets to be nice to her in this one! LOL

Overall, confirms my enjoyment of Zhao Lusi and adds Chen Zhe Yuan to a list of preferred actors.

very simple but super adorable

I should start by saying that i usually enjoy dramas with more thrill or supernatural tropes, but i was still really hooked by this.

This drama was about growing up, falling in love, and life in general and the hardships that come with it. The stages and problems that come with adolecence were captured really well.
Its important to note, that this was a slow burn.

The cast was great! I watched a few of Zhao Lu si's dramas and really adore her acting. She tends to have great chemistry with everyone but her and Chen Zhe Yuans chemistry was unreal!! They looked so in love and their kisses were great!

The drama showed Sang Zhi at very different ages and her styling was always very suitable: the hair, clothes, shoes and phone cases really reflected her age well in my opinion. Same for Jia Xu, but it wasnt as noticable.

Next, about the characters:
- Sang Zhi is very kind, creative, pretty, caring and hard working. She is not perfect and gets protected by Jia Xu but she still stands up for herself and can deal with her problems on her own.
Especially in Cdrama, the female characters tend to be weak and always need their ML to save them so i was really positively surprised by how strong and independent she was.
She was very popular in school but only had two suiters that we know about and they did not trouble her after she rejected them.
The only thing i did not like about Sang Zhi was how soft and 'babyish' her voice was even when she was an adult. It was just a little unsuitable for a strong girl like her in my opinion.

- Jia Xu is a very nice, supportive, hard working, handsome and determined character. He has trouble concerning his family and is financially not well of. He is very skilled and smart but not to the point were he gets annoyingly perfect.
especially the male leads in Cdramas are often emotionless and can do everything perfectly, but he is not like that and i love it!
Moreover, whenever he appears the girls in the back often whisper "handsome" but not 1596 girls have a crush on him at the same time and are annoying and hate Sang Zhi. There is one girl, that troubles him and Sang Zhi because of her feelings but there is also more to it than just attaction and jealousy.

- San Yan and his parents. I always loved seeing them. The whole family was so cute and supportive. They bickered, supported and worried about each other. that was great to see.


This Drama showed a really cute, wholesome, nice and helathy relationship. He asked for concent before holding her hand and kissing her, there was no gaslighting, no frustrating miscommunication, just love.

Sang Zhis relationship with her dorm mates was also really beautifully shown. No jealous friends or anything like that.
Jia Xu and his work-colleagues were also very cute and him and his college friends had nice and realistic friendhips! (i also liked that the plump character Qian Fei got married)

The music was alright. Nothing great or emotional but it fit the vibe well.

Even though i'm glad that there were no unnecessary conflicts, there was also some drama missing, every problem got resolved after a few episodes and that made the drama alittle flat or boring at times. also the timeline was not always easy to follow. One time i thought i missed an episode because it started with a random scene.

All in all, it was a very cute drama, that showed a more realistic, mature, simple and happy relationship. At times it was a little boring if you like dramas with more action.
I can't picture myself rewatching it anytime soon, but i did enjoy it so maybe i will in the future.

Sweet and tender

Hidden Love it’s a beautiful love story about love, overcoming grief, guilt and building a family. The acting is really good and the OST fun. I don’t know where scriptwriter Shen Fei Xian has been for the past 7 years but, God, I am so glad she’s back!

This drama had two MVPs: Sang Yan for opening his home and always being a good friend and brother, and Qian Fei for helping Jian Xu figure out his love life. Where would our leads be without them? Probably still pining for each other.

Zhao Lusi and Chen Zheyuan carry the drama with ease and sizzling chemistry. It was a joy to see their characters fall in love and dealing with everything that came their way as a team with a deep understanding of each other. They made an effort to communicate and this made them stronger and smarter as couple. Wonderful.

If you enjoyed this drama, you might want to check out Love O2O. Shen Fei Xian was also the scriptwriter responsible for that adaptation to the screen and she clearly very talented. And if you have already seen both dramas, then good news: she’s already working on her next project!

Left me with a quote distasteful end

This show started really well, it is cute and fun, and heart fluttering. We can see the progress on how Sang Zhi took interest in Jiaxu and started to have a crush on him, even visiting him alone to Yihe and made stories up about a boy he met online, to Sang Zhi trying to forget him because of misunderstanding, and rediscover her love for Jiaxu, and also Jiaxu who always takes care of primary school Sang Zhi to college student Sang Zhi and then falling for her. Up until then, I like it so much. The corny romance and playful flirt back and forth, but also with care and thoughtfulness.

Until when they dated each other, things kinda started to ick me, when Jiaxu keeps "pushing" himself towards Sang Zhi. I don't know why, it feels rushed and it wasn't the innocent love anymore. I just don't like the sight of him "throwing" himself to Sang Zhi. I am starting to get the cringe on ep 20ish, and therefore I skimmed toward the last episode.

It's just very unfortunate that the drama left me with a not so quite good note. I like both actors but I think the problem is in the writing. It's kinda tacky. Really wish I could finish it with satisfaction.
