A very very fine leading man...
I've been going through some mini dramas lately as I have found myself in a drama rut aka post drama syndrome. I watched Hidden Love which totally blew me away and so I expected to hold that one as the best drama I've seen in 2023. I didn't have much anticipation to be moved by anything else but all that changed with this miniseries.
Story itself isn't anything new or spectacular, got a bad case of fiance having an affair with the FL's best friend and ultimately the FL seeking her revenge. So definitely not the first choice when it comes to friendship and loyalty between couples but hear me out - GUO JIA NAN. To put it shortly, the moment I saw him on the drama poster I had to watch it. It took me awhile to realize it but I had seen him in the support role of Rebirth for You before (I thought he was cute then) but his acting here gave me overloads of butterflies every single moment!
Every girl needs a personal bodyguard like Xiao Mo. He took this series from a 7.5-8 all the way to a 10. His smile just melts me every single time (going to keep an eye out for all his dramas from now on).
Will say the ending was a little bit unsatisfactory to me though, I mean it was happy but I would have preferred the long-awaited marriage of the leading couple.
The SML played his part really well too, while an evil character he was able to successfully also be a source of comedic relief at time. I feel like I should also mention that it was done well for a miniseries because often times mini drams feel super rushed, choppy and give viewers so many annoying plot questions, this one covered everything well which I appreciated. Also, I really liked the music they used in the drama!
I recommend this drama for a (mostly) light watch and a truly stellar leading man.
