Watch if you have free time to waste
On episode 13 and at this point, this has got to be the messiest dating show I've ever watched. 4 guys and 4 girls, yet all the guys are aiming for just ONE girl. In every date that each paired up couple go for, this girl's name is always mentioned and I can only imagine the frustration of the other 3 girls who are also on this programme to find love. Instead of focusing on the person in front of them, they see these girls as back up plans. And the worst part is that I don't see the appeal of this one girl at all, her personality is bland as compared to 2 of the other girls. Another thing I was expecting from a dating show with adults is the maturity to have honest conversations about their emotions, which is severely lacking in most of the male contestants on this show. Usually the last episode is the most eagerly awaited one, but I will be dropping this after watching the second last episode.Was this review helpful to you?

Overhyped C drama
As an avid c-drama fan of many years, I was so happy to see both hidden love and WIFTY trending on tiktok. While i absolutely loved WIFTY, Hidden love was honestly a hard watch for me. It's not new to see these types of "crush on sibling's friends" plot, the age gap in this drama was shocking and a tad too much for me to enjoy any sort of romance in this show. Whenever the FL shows aegyo towards the ML, the image of her as a child comes to mind and I just can't look past it TT However, I will say that the storyplot was great (with the exception of certain misunderstandings which dragged on for years and could've been easily resolved if they just communicated), so that's its only redeeming factor. I will give Zhao Lu Si props for her involvement in this drama's production from wardrobe, casting and even singing some of the songs in this show to save money when the original director ran off and delayed the filming. She has many other great drama such as The Long Ballad (2021) and Who Rules The World (2022) which I'll recommend everyone to watchWas this review helpful to you?
