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!

Amazing!
I have one word to describe this drama: AMAZING! It has set a new standard for me. Every time I start a new drama, I find myself comparing it to HL. The acting, story, and music are all incredible, and I have no criticisms. This is rare for me, as I usually have high standards and can always find at least something I don’t like.Duan Jia Xu is my absolute favorite character. In the beginning, he portrays the “brother” role perfectly. Then, when he moves on to the boyfriend role…. Ahhhhhh. He is so hot. Without even saying anything, this guy can make you blush. Don’t get me started on his eyes. This guy is a walking green flag; no, he is a forest of green.
I really love Sang Zhi’s character. She is the epitome of a gentle, kind, and sweet person. She is loyal and strong. I have no complaints about her character. I also love her relationship with Sang Yan (her brother). I have never seen a sibling relationship portrayed so well. I love their bickering. It is so entertaining to watch and reminds me so much of my brother and me.
The chemistry between Sang Zhi and Duan Jia Xu is simply remarkable and unlike anything I’ve seen in a drama before. Every interaction they have lights up the screen, leaving me smiling and giggling at their playful banter and heartfelt moments. The depth of their connection is evident in the way he gazes at her—it’s filled with such warmth and admiration that it makes my heart flutter. If only I could experience a look like that from someone! Their chemistry truly makes the story come alive and just draws you in. ^Swoon^!
This drama is so amazing. Please watch, you will see what I mean—definitely a 10/10 from me.

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.

The best
A very good script. I've read a book before, which itself is a ready-made script. Most of the scenes require great ZL and CH acting skills because the scenes are shot close-up and quite intimate. note that in each episode not much happens, the scenes are long and based mainly on dialogues between the main characters. This is a movie about how people should talk to each other. A beautiful story about growing up and maturing feelings - from youthful infatuation to true, difficult love.I like the acting of the actors. on their faces you can see all the emotions that are tormenting them, and their minimalistic gestures are very eloquent. And the internal dialogues of both ZL and CH are quite new. in other dramas you can also meet, but not as often and not as funny. Her thoughts are great. I recommend to everyone

Formulaic with weird paedophilic groomy vibes
When I saw the synopsis for this I knew it was going to be a teen drama replete with unrealistic behaviours and a female ingenue character that bordered on vacuous. I still gave it a go because I found out the lead was none other than Zhao Lu Si from 'Who Rules the World'. However, even having her as the protagonist couldn't keep me on.Firstly, I have no idea why CDramas, or Chinese productions in general, always edit the characters' voices. Women always end up sounding like a chipmunk. Is that sexy? It's certainly not mature. Definitely not natural. Zhao Lu Si's lovely timbre in 'Who Rules the World' is reduced to a squirrel's that sounds like they have a perpetual cold in 'Hidden Love'.
Secondly, there is no life to Sang Zhi at all except when she decides to say or do something manipulative; if she puts half the energy she has in those moments into her studies, it might seem interesting. As it was, a childish, spoilt younger sister protag who has a crush on an older brother's friend and doesn't focus on her own education, dreams and ambitions was too formulaic and mundane a teen drama. Is Jia Xu the only friend Sang Yan has? Is he the only guy she's ever met and known all her teenage life? Will he be the only one there is? Surely, realistically not. And using an actress that's younger than the fourteen Sang Zhi was meant to be, when she first meets Jia Xu, didn't help with the whole groomy vibes too.
Dropped it after first episode as couldn't gel with the characters and didn't care enough to see their journey. Hidden Love did not utilise all of Zhao Lu Si's talents, not even a tenth of it. Disappointing. Only nice things to note were the food!

Zhao Lusi portrays her character with deep emotion, breathing life into every scene. Her subtle yet expressive facial expressions enhance the authenticity of her character's emotions, allowing the audience to feel every sentiment she experiences.

Beyond the stellar performances, 'Hidden Love' boasts an intriguing and intricate plot. The well-paced and surprising storyline makes each episode eagerly anticipated. The well-developed characters engage viewers in a colorful emotional journey.
The director and production team deserve commendation for their brilliant direction and visually stunning presentation. The beautiful cinematography and well-chosen locations add strength to the drama. The authentic costume and set design contribute to a strong historical atmosphere.
Furthermore, the carefully selected background music intensifies the emotional impact of each scene. The harmonious blend of visuals, sound, and acting makes 'Hidden Love' a captivating work of art that leaves a lasting impression.
With all these merits, 'Hidden Love' splendidly delivers a drama worthy of appreciation. Zhao Lusi and Chen Zhe Yuan not only impeccably portray their roles but also take us on an inspirational emotional journey. The drama not only pleases the eye but also touches the heart with an unforgettable storytelling beauty.
