Perfect RomCom
Summary: At a comfortable 25 episodes, this is by far thee BEST romcom I've seen and will definitely watch again to catch any details I previously missed. I wish there was more story to watch! Following the standard formula of romantic interest > misunderstanding > confession > plot twist > clarifying love, this series packs some heavy one-two punches (also in the show) of both butterfly-inducing and laugh out loud scenes! There's also some heartbreaking scenes as well. That's why I consider Hidden Love (2023) a perfect romcom. NOTE: make sure to stick around (rather than skipping ahead) after the photo collages to see the outtakes relaying more details about an episode; not sure why the filmmakers produced it that way but it works. The soundtrack is also great.
Details: The interactions and situations between the two leads are sooo kě'ài de! I enjoyed watching both grow and evolve into an equal partnership rather than a mentor/mentee relationship, as they struggle through awkward moments and finally reveal their secrets to each other. It was funny to see the confident and caring Duan Jia Xu tease Sang Zhi through her insecure moments and heart-melting to see how courageous and determined she was in caring for him through his hardships. Both actors are great at expressing the really heartbreaking moments of the show. I also like that there weren't strong triangle situations, which can be annoying (sorry if you're into that).
But what's even more entertaining are the interactions of the leads with the brother, Sang Yan, who's also my favorite character in the show. He is HILARIOUS. I'll never look at the word "gēgē" the same again (hint: it's used like "oppa" in Korean culture). XD XD XD For some reason, I kept wanting Sang Yan and Yu Xin to get together with both their feisty personalities.
One thing I was a bit concerned about is so much focus on the child version of Sang Zhi crushing over the adult Duan Jia Xu. I mean no lines were crossed but there didn't need to be so much backstory on that, only the teenager to adult years. The filmmakers also spent way too much attention on the professional details at Duan Jia Xu's work, not sure what valued that added to the storyline.
