Process of growing up
PLEASE DON'T SLEEP ON THIS DRAMA!Cast:
To start off, our ML is not your cold-stoic face ML. He's just like any other guy in your school who's a teacher's pet and is friendly towards everyone, a genius and has looks too. I would say his character development slowly turned dark when he goes off to college bc of some reasons (u gotta watch to know more). But all i can tell you is that, no matter where/what the FL does he will still fall head over heels for her again. Oh, most importantly is he's loyal to one so if u're looking for a playboy type, skip this (but u'll regret it!)
Our FL is just a qt who needs to be protected. Just like any other introverted girl, there she is closing her doors and trying to avoid any attention. But as the story progresses, i would say that she has the most obvious character development. And like us, she's a mediocre who tries her best to pass, but there will be times where she fails yet she got stronger. You'll soon love her bc she's just adorable; the way she confessed her love for ML and how she got stronger.
The side characters are also funny like i've never seen such a good combination of friends who try to understand one another. Even the side characters were given their own happy ending which rarely happens in cdrama.
The casts' chemistry omg... it looked so real even the sad scenes... idk who's cutting onions but whenever I see them get hurt, i'll cry too :<<< though all of them look young, unlike other cdramas where their casts look awkward this story however, won't ever disappoint you i promise.
Storyplot:
Goodness, it's a chef's kiss!! As an audience, when i watched this till the end, this story gave me a nostalgic feeling of when we were in highschool experiencing all the fluttering feelings. The story is very relatable to our lives, even the ML who is a genius gets distracted sometimes and drop in ranks. The FL who tries hard but still fail in some things.
And when they started to go separate ways to college and all turbulence happened, it certainly made me feel sad knowing that's how reality works when we grow older. But all in all, this story talks about the importance of friendship and embracing one another's weaknesses while they take us on their growing up journey.
If you want a ML who will nvr cry, then this isn't for you bc our ML here is a legit human being who experiences all sorts of emotions.
OST:
Even the songs omg are masterpiece. EVERY song fits perfectly with each scene and u'll nvr get tired listening to the songs!!!

I just love this drama .
The plot is definitely not new. Just like any other school drama, it too circles around youth and friends. But what made this drama different is it's storyline. The feeling is different when you see the chemistry between male and female leads. The secret the male lead keeps behind his chest makes you totally fall in love with him. I felt that male lead had already fallen into her from the very beginning. Moreover they had known each other since childhood. I just love the male lead. He so mature, caring , protective and obsessive when it comes to female lead.Was this review helpful to you?

Cute love story!!!!
If you are looking a for drama afer you watched melodrama or high voltage drama.... Then this drama you can definately watch to lighten your mood amd refresh yourself.This story is so cute...i cannot stop adoring the couple so mich. From high school students to uni couple to fiance and fiancee.....life was roller coaster for them with their troubles coming but what survived and remained strong was their love.
What i loved is that this drama till the last episode and after watching last episode. It gave me satisfaction. Sometimes we feel that maybe side character story could have shown at the end. But this drama showed everything till the last episode we know what happened to side characters even if their scene is there or not.
Each character have their own story and each couple or character in this drama played by the actor and actresses did a amazing job. The acting was on point and it made it so cute and adoring to watch them (i still cant stop adoring them). All couples in this drama is so cute.
There maybe sometimes you will be like why this misunderstanding why this....he could have said this or she but it before our head burst this plot makes it alright. So no need to worry about another person trying to get ML or FL attention. No evil plot is there...i mean kind of evil plot bot not that much.
Some of the scenes especially high school scenes were highly relatable. This drama is something you can expect in real.lofe but not also real life. Ost of this drama is so soothing loved it.
Its a cute love story....go for it!!! 24 eps wont dissapoint you!!! I hope you all like it!!!!

One of the recent best coming og age dramas
I loved the premise, the buildup, their relationship and how the subtle behavior was so subtle but made you ache even more their romance.spoiler/ ////

i considered removing half a star because i really did not understand the plot where SiYue rejected Ding Xian feelings for so long, and also where DX even got the confidence to publicly call out SiYue on her first day, or the whole i'm going to follow you plot. how did being a painter go to being a programmer? no idea how we got there, and then the break-up, yeah no. But the ending and just how happy, sweet and just beautiful the story and characters tied up made me cry for 10 minutes straight and I couldn't not give this 5 stars. Looking forward to watch more of Chen Zhe Yuan work's.

Why didn't I watched it before???
It's so perfect. Youth, friendship, family, career, exam, love. Everything is there. Chen Zhe Yuan's acting and Ding Xian's transition through stages of her life.I think everyone should watch it. It's kind of inspiring. I was going to watch it last year. But i didn't watched it. I regret it for not watching it before. I hope if you read my review you right away start watching it. You will never regret watching it though it will take your time. But it's worth spending time.
I don't have much to say. Must watch that's all I can say. Now this gonna be in my memory forever. I won't ever forget it.

Genius Zhou Met Persistent Ding Xian
Our Secret….A cute and fluffy love between a genius and his desk mate in high school.
▫️Main Point
~ The childhood friends met again in high school after their first meeting when they’re small.
~ A girl who persistent and hardworking in studying to get the best results even she was not a genius.
~ A genius boy in mathematics and liked in robotics who always got a good a score in examination.
▫️Short Synopsis
Ding Xian and her family moved to her childhood’s place after her father got the job to be a teacher at school which later she’ll goes to. She met her childhood friend who was once become her friend when she’s small. Even she was not a genius but she liked to study and not give up to achieve good result in examination. Zhou Siyue was a mathematics genius. He liked to study about Robotics and also like to play a game. Even he played the games but he still can get a good result. They both were closed since their parents knew each other. Later, the boy will admit at his dream’s university while the girl cannot followed him since she not got a good results. Thus she plans to repeat the exam for another year and goes to the same university with him. After that their life were apart since they’re busy with their own life.
** The most important part about this drama was the actors and actresses were using their own voices to record this drama. It’s more meaningful than hearing some dubbing voice from the other actors or actresses.
▫️Characters Intro
~ Chen Zhe Yuan was a handsome man that act as Zhou Si Yue who looks arrogant but he was nice and kind hearted to Ding Xian. He was a genius in mathematics and liked the robotics.
~ Rainbow was a Singer so I didn’t thought she was good in acting. But she nailed it as Ding Xian. She’s cute and adorable. I liked on how she styles her hair which suited her.
▫️Overall
This was the first school romance that have a very beautiful and fluffy love story. Started from high school to university, they were together through a thick and thin until they’re got engaged. I love Zhou Siyue when he first proposed her to engage with him he said ‘Ding Xian, even there’s one reason why we can’t be together, I will find thousand, ten thousand reason we can be together’.
Then he said during his proposal ‘I first laid my eyes on you, I think why there a girl who so stubborn like you, do not want to talk with people, do not like people help and always does things on your own. But what’s so impressive about you, whenever you want to do something, you’ll manage to do it.I also don’t know why I fell to someone like you, and very very very much like you’.
Zhou Siyue liked Ding Xian first and keep helping her. He also dare to give a blank answers in exam paper in order to sit with her. I loved to see a guy like him. He was so concerned and considerate towards Ding Xian and always care about her.
Zhou Siyue was very suited to be together with Ding Xian and married with her happily here and after….

ML too handsome for the FL
I’m a fan of ML Chen Zhen i’ve done watching his previous cdramas. He got a boy next door look & good in acting.When our secrets first day aired i watched it promptly at first i’m not convince about the FL overall looks. I googled her found out she’s a singer dancer too & aged 27. That’s why i convinced my self to continue watch it. But until i can’t hold it. I don't like her character & the way she acted. Sorry but this is my own view & opinion. Dont drag me. Yes the story again or cliche about high school to college life.Was this review helpful to you?

VEDETELO E NON VE NE PENTIRETE
Questa serie merita assolutamente attenzione.All'inizio non mi aspettavo nulla di preciso ma adesso che l'ho finita la riguarderei altre mille volte, senza mai pentirmene.
Dal primo al 15esimo episodio è tutto in salita, si tratta della loro storia la liceo; tutto è inondato di pace ma anche di dinamiche familiari e in amicizia. Tutto molto bello, ovviamente ci sono anche cose che non mi sono piaciute, come la madre di lei, ma nel complesso è molto meno complicato di quello che ci aspetta dopo.
L'episodio 14 e 15 mi hanno fatto piangere, erano molto tristi e mi ci rivedevo molto soprattutto nelle emozioni.
Il 15esimo episodio ha segnato il passaggio dal liceo all'università e da lì fino al 18esimo episodio mi sono sentita stanca, erano un pò pesanti per me da guardare, stancanti e a volte noiosi, ma sarò sincera e dirò che allo stesso tempo sono fondamentali perchè senza quello che è successo in questi episodi, non sarebbero diventati le persone che si vedono negli ultimi episodi.
Dal 19esimo al 21esimo episodio, invece, è stato il periodo di convinzione ma alla fine si sono fidanzati, purtroppo le dinamiche erano complicate quindi si sono decisi alquanto tardi a fidanzarsi.
Infine, dal 21esimo all'ultimo episodio è stato tutto fantastico, nelle emozioni, non completamente nei fatti, purtroppo sono successe alcune cose difficili da superare ma erano più uniti che mai quindi hanno superato tutto.
In generale, è uno dei drama più attinenti a tutto ciò che riguarda il periodo adolescenziale/adulto fra quelli da me visti.
L'ho trovato parecchio esaustivo e attento nel descrivere questi periodi della vita, con tutte le problematiche e le emozioni, e l'ho anche trovato parecchio efficace nel rendere evidente l'evoluzione dei personaggi.
Ho amato come abbiano voluto mandare un forte messaggio di forza, per combattere sempre e migliorare se stessi per i propri sogni, a inseguire i propri sogni e se non se ne hanno, a trovarli. Mi ha parecchio inspirato e ho amato come abbiamo fatto passare così tanti bei messaggi attraverso un personaggio che è caduto (nel senso astratto), ha rifatto l'ultimo anno di scuola, ma che deciso e motivato si è rialzato più forte che prima. Qui per intenderci che una bocciatura non vi rende dei nullafacenti, ignoranti o altro, così come la società vuole far passare, ma vi dà la possibilità di mettere mano alla vostra vita per attuare un cambiamento, per voi, non per gli altri. Per dimostrare che tra tutti, voi siete quelli che meritano di più.
Quindi ho amato come abbiano trattato di differenti temi in modo ampio e di come abbiano tramandato tanti bei messaggi perchè ne abbiamo bisogno, ormai nessuno ci supporta se non noi stessi.

Our secrets
Es una buena historia, comienza una trama bastante tranquila para amates de los dramas que buscas una trama tranquila y lenta en realidad la historia se desarrolla en sus tiempo necesario .La actuación de los actores es bastante buena te hace sentir parte de la historia, en general es un drama que podrás verlo en una semana te engancharas con la sonrisa del personaje principal.
Me gusto mucho como se desarrollo la historia desde bachillerato hasta la universidad, me hubiera gustado ver un episodio dentro de los 24 donde se desarrolle en su vida laboral.
Al final nos deja grandes enseñanzas que a lo largo de nuestra vida personal, estudiante y laboral podrá ayudarnos.

Dulzura del primer amor
He disfrutado muchísimo este drama, su fotografía, su ost, la manera con la cual nos narran esta historia del primer amor entre dos chicos de la preparatoria en un instituto chino. Sus protagonistas tienen gran química y te hacen sentir mariposas en el estómago tantísimas veces solo con una mirada, con un rozarse de las manos, con una sonrisa. Muchas series con escenas más explícitas no les llegan a la suela del zapato a estos dos jóvenes actores y su maravillosa química en escena. Muy recomendable para los amantes de las historias coming of age y los romances juveniles sin toxicidad y sin mucho angst.Was this review helpful to you?
VIVAN LOS SOFT BOYS!!!
vi los primeros dice episodios en una semana y los últimos doce los vi en dos dias. Es un drama muy ligero de ver en donde los problemas más grandes se resuelven rápidamente. Molesta un poco la actitud de ella de seguirle los pasos pero creo que se compensa cuando ella empieza a hacer cosas que ella ama.lo que sí me molestó a niveles críticos y que casi me hacía dejar el drama era la actitud de la mamá y el hermano de la protagonista, la mala actitud de su mamá hacía ella (quizás por temas históricos) y el respaldo y justificación de las “travesuras” del hermano hacia ella me hicieron enojar bastante!
como siempre, el tema de la comunicación es uno importante aquí jajaja.
vivan los soft boys!
