Back again with Chinese drama series after a long time I didn’t review any C-drama. This drama is quite famous and many people talked about it so I can’t miss out this drama. This series tells us a story about a girl who have a crush on her brother’s friend. They first met when the girl, Sang Zhi is a middle school student and the boy, Duan Jiaxu is a freshman. One day Sang Yan (Zhi’s brother) took Jiaxu home and Zhi asked for his help because her brother won’t do it. After that, Jiaxu and Zhi relationship became much closer like siblings but deep down in Zhi’s heart she like Jiaxu not as a brother but more than that. But somehow in the middle of it, she felt heartbreak and cut of communication with Duan Jiaxu. Few years passed, they reunited again in Jiaxu’s hometown. Now Sang Zhi was a freshman in college and Jiaxu already success on his job in his hometown. They met once again and their real love story will finally begin.

Started with the plot, it is gives me a fresh vibe to the story. They’re not giving you a mainstream story but give C-drama a fresh air but still give you a fluttering feeling while watching it. Compete with When I Fly Towards You, personally I like Hidden Love better. They’re both good drama but for When I Fly Towards You it’s a drama with a common storyline. I can list many dramas similiar with that and I think I already have my favorite series with that kind of storyline. But Hidden Love is different. They gave us a new point of view and new storyline so I always curious how they handle the story. Even though they started it with brother-sister relationship but the transition to become crush and slowly become a couple is not awkward. The couple can show it well the feelings when he still consider her as a little sister to slowly grow up a romantic feelings and look at her not a sister anymore but as a woman.

I understand why this series is a big hit. The problem that showed up in this series also not heavy at all. Despite about how they become a couple, the only problem from beginning to the middle of the series just about Duan Jiaxu’s past. It’s not too intense and disturbing at all. Sometimes I just can’t stand and imagine when her brother knew that his friend and his little sister are dating. I just imagine honestly it’s so awkward but this series can packed it still in a good and relax vibes. At the beginning, it’s get a little tense up when the brother gap their relationship instead they tell him first. But from that, we can see how much actually her brother loves and adore her. In the end he also fell composed that his sister is on the right hand, his best friend. Instead, the conflict arise near the end of the series, and you can say they packed it a little bit intense. The real problem and their biggest obstacle will showed up. Get ready to falling down from the highest peak before getting up again in the really end. Around two or three last episodes, they make the series more serious than any other episodes. They make all problem and thought accumulated from all episodes to resolved in near the end. Problem about Duan Jiaxu past and how Sang Zhi’s family accept it. I thought it’ll not become a big problem, but I feel this things was the most intense scene in this series. But this intense episodes that make this series become more interesting and good as a full package. After all it’s still a kind of series that will not let you stop smiling throughout the series. So it’s really recomended for someone who looking a really light series.
