A real gem - watch it!
I find many Chinese dramas either too melodramatic with overcomplicated plots and very 2-dimensional characters or the acting just plain awful. I don’t even bother to finish many of them - but this one (Hidden Love) is a real gem. Everything is just spot on - the casting, the acting, OST, the plot - it is faultless. An absolute pleasure to watch from start to finish!Characters have depth; the story flows naturally and it’s very well acted. Plus romance rush in practically every scene. It had me in fits of laughter (e.g. sibling rivalry), throes of despair (especially the first airport scene) and every feeling in between. So, so refreshing to find a C-drama that ticks all the boxes and left me feeling my time wasn’t wasted (which is how I feel about majority of c-dramas). In fact, I finished watching it and immediately watched it all over again. It’s that good.Was this review helpful to you?
Drama with a heart
I don’t understand why it’s rated so low? Having watched hundreds of dramas, it’s rare to come across one with genuine depth. Great on-screen chemistry between the ML and FL. I heard they dated in real life? Plot flowed seamlessly from the first season. There was a gradual and thoughtful plot and character development. Acting is spot on, especially the silly FL. However, drawback was the upsetting racist comments from Christine’s dad, so I skipped most of it. Regardless, it’s easily on my top 10. Absolute must-watch.Was this review helpful to you?
