    I was hoping to see if there will be a scene of Sang Yan talking to his parents, like Maya mentioned, but looks like this has been omitted.

     

    Happened in Ep25, when he sat with DJX ala face the parents, but SY didn't really have speaking lines. I wish the script allowed SY to voice his objections over the parents' hang-ups on DJX's familial background.

     

    I'd rate the drama 8.5/10 over-all for being so close to the novel, excellent casting choices, and the final editing which included "flashback/background scenes" at the end of each episodes. Moreover, I'm quite happy that from the original 24, the drama was allowed 25 eps which meant there are more eye candies for viewers. 😊

    Regretfully I actually didn't find the kisses as hot as the ones before, plus what happened to the hot kiss after the dinner and on the way home. The BTS version was so much more passionate! Arghhhh.

     

    Same, sigh. Times like this, I kinda wish that the drama is for more mature audiences. Then there would have been, ehem, for one thing, shower scenes. 😅

    First, being him, pretending to be strong/ok and breaking down when Sang Zhi offered him a hug. The endured sobbing and tears flowing out of his big eyes one by one was awesomely well done! Thumbs up + approval from me!

     

    OMO, CZY's crying DJX was so raw and full of pain. The scene was perfectly built up, from being stoic as he talked to his father one last time, to finally breaking down once SZ takes him in her arms.

    Who is TW?

     

    Trigger warning

    Does Jia Xu know about Wen Yi Fan by the time he dated Sang Zhi? And does he know Sang Yan goes to Yi He every 2 weeks?

     

    Not really, cos Wen Yi Fan returned to Nanwu when Sang Zhi was about to take her college entrance exams. DJX didn't really meet WYF until much later, when he too moved to Nanwu. As dorm mates though, he knew or at least have an idea on why SY goes to Yihe, since in the novel/manhua, he tells SZ that perhaps her brother was looking for a girlfriend during one of their tutorials. 

     

    Gosh, there are more sweet things about SY in the novel. He's not only devoted, he's way, way, more sentimental than SZ when it comes to keepsakes.

     

    Spoiler

    1. Newspapers that WYF had articles.

    2. Plane tickets to Yi He.

    3. Old mobile phones that had text messages from WYF.

    Awesome, I was wondering if he would move to Nan Wu so that Sang Zhi can be with her family and less chances for Jiang Ying to harass them further.

     

    Yep, everything for Sang Zhi! And to reassure the Sang parents since that was one of their concerns when they initially objected to the relationship. Nanwu is more of a home for DJX anyway.

    Although, I think, per the novel, it wasn't a hard kick.

     

    It's actually worse in the novel, they really had a brawl in DJX's flat! 😅

     

    13 hours ago, mademoiselle said:

    I'm actually curious to see the girlfriend joining them.

     

    I'm curious too if there's a Wen Yi Fan cameo, because if it follows the novel:

     

    Spoiler

    Wen Yi Fan follows Sang Yan to Yihe in this timeline. Before SY flew to check on SZ, the couple had some sorta tiff because 

    TW!!!

    Spoiler

    The brother of WYF's uncle's wife, who almost raped her when she was younger, assaults and injures WYF. SY was angry with her for not telling him she got wounded, and for not taking care more that he got a chance to hurt her again.

     

    It was darn so funny in the novel cos SY would be complaining to WYF that SY was beaten up by DJX, but SY feels he still got the better deal cos DJX had to still host him. LMAO, he would even tell WYF that even the undies he's wearing is from DJX. 

     

    I was laughing a bit when SZ was feeling bad that SY wasn't staying longer for her to tour him around Yihe. Cos the reality is that

     

    Spoiler

    Student SY visits Yihe almost every 2 weeks to get a glimpse from afar of WYF while she attends the same uni as SZ. He will do this until WYF moves back to work in Nanwu. 😭😥😢

     

    13 hours ago, mademoiselle said:

    Is that the end of Jiang Ying and Xiao Yu now? Yes? Yes? Somebody confirm, please! How everything unfold about her is not bad. I like that he goes to Jiang Ying, warns her not to harass them anymore using the law.

     

    Maybe enough of JY in the drama, but not yet of XY cos SZ is still interning there as of end of Ep21. XY should and would apologize because she mistreated SZ over an issue that has nothing to do with her.

     

    Spoiler

    JY doesn't fare well in the novel at the end, since her mother remarried and she would be thrown out by the stepfather and her mother because of their incessant bickering. Later on JY would be seeking mental health intervention...at least she seeks help professional finally!

    Loving the Mr and Mrs mugs. But to be honest, is the rent really affordable by Jia Xu?

     

    Yes. 😉 At this point he's almost about to

     

    Spoiler

    Move to Nanwu to build his own game enterprise. He's loaded from royalties, and also patents I think? of games he developed.

     

    That house he rented in Yihe would be where he stays when he visits SZ. SZ would be shuttling back and forth to the dorm and to that rented house until she graduates

    How old is Sang Yan's girlfriend?

     

    Wen Yifan is same age as Sang Yan. They used to be classmates/deskmates when they were 13 IIRC from the novel. 😊

    comment so i might be wrong, anyway it doesnt matter what they think.....

     

    Some netizens and media peeps are too zealous over grooming and pedophilia. Which is stupid cos there's none of that in the novel, manhua, and drama. They can pound sand, LOL. 

     

    I did see some English gossip sites of C-Ent discussing this crap, but WTH, they didn't even get the story right.

     

    AAAARRRGH, JY's friend Xiao Yu is in the house! 😬😤😡😠🤬 She's not as unhinged as JY, but close enough!

    however i'm flat, means she doesnt have much of a bust hahahahaha, then she look over and he was smiling not really catching what she meant by being flat and then she said that he is flat too....and told him not to dwell on it as they can't fight the nature, it isn't their faults they are born flat

     

    Second hand embarrassment is real for her drunken rants being flat, LOL!

    Oh oh... I can't believe Sang Zhi never got the chance to see Jia Xu play basketball during his school days!

     

    Maybe cos Sang Yan won't bring her to his games, hahaha!

     

    Now that the relationship is established, DJX's eyes are way more affectionate when he looks at SZ compared to before they started dating.

     

    9 hours ago, mademoiselle said:

    Did they create two character accounts to promote this drama?! Coz these photos come from there!

     

    Aww, aside from promoting HL, I hope it's also because Sang Yan's story is soon to be in the making. 🤩 

     

    When it comes to looks, the Cdrama leads didn't disappoint. They're just as good-looking, and have plenty of similarities withtheir manhua counterparts.

    Jia Ying's behaviour is exasperating. Does she have more upcoming scenes? I'm guessing she will because she hasn't let go yet. My take on her behaviour is she must have liked Jia Xu in high school, but the accident happened, so he hates his family for that. She wants to hold on to him, and the only way she could/know how is to instill the guilt he has on her family.

     

    Well, if it follows the novel:

     

    Spoiler

    Yes. May she not scratch the Tesla of DJX, hahaha! 

     

    DJX was a stellar and bright youngster. He's also very good-looking that he gets approached every now and then by girls for his number. 

     

    40 minutes ago, mademoiselle said:

    I actually wanted to see more of Jia Xu's conflict and thinking longer and harder before deciding on pursuing Sang Zhi. Hahaha.

     

    The drama is fast paced, like every ep is at least a few weeks and even months, but he became more aware of her as a "wife" when he had his surgery, thanks to the hard of hearing old man's comments. 😅

    Who are these Karens? Netizens? Did they watch it all from the beginning until they come to this nonsense.😮‍💨 well, forget about this since bring the topic back will only feed them more. 

     

    Netizens and media. Yeah, I'm surprised too, did we watch the same thing? 🙄

     

    29 minutes ago, Alice Wonderland said:

    SY? Who? Sang yan? Another drama?

     

    Yup. Sang Yan's endearing story might even top Sang Zhi's, IMO, especially if the right ML and FL play the roles.

     

    33 minutes ago, Alice Wonderland said:

    I wonder what will SZ's family reaction if the find out she's dating her former tutor. Do you think they will object? 

     

    Spoiler

    Initially, yes. But not because they dislike DJX, they're worried that the chaotic JY and what happened to DJX's family in the past might adversely affect their life as a couple. They didn't want their daughter to be hurt later by these issues.

     

    They would later agree, when SY intervenes and sides with DJX and SZ. Plus DJX moves to Nanwu and builds his own enterprise.

     

    HOT Eye Candy!!! 💋💋💋

    Mmm, I wonder if they will later ask each other when they fell for one another. That way I get my speculation answered and the curious cat in me can go to sleep. Hahaha!

     

    Waah, this thread is very busy! 🤩

     

    @Alice Wonderland I've changed to Maya. Though I also kinda miss my longer old handle. 😅 What do you think, should I change back?

     

    @Mizv Netflix started airing Hidden Love! Vindication for this drama!

     

    For those who aren't aware, there were Karens calling for banning this drama because it was supposedly promoting grooming/pedophilia. Which is nonsense cos DJX isn't always with SZ, and if anything he was more of a 3rd parent/2nd sibling than a creep. He is always admonishing her over how she regards SY and studies! Even promises gifts if grades are good. Plus, he only fell for her and thought a lot about it first before he decided to pursue her when she was almost 19yrs old.

     

    I've read before the story, and if the drama would also follow how the novel revealed when DJX and SZ fell in love, it should happen in the last 3 episodes. Dunno if drama DJX finds out the same way as in the novel. 🙂 Gosh, if he finds out that way, I'm guessing that it could be as emotional as the iconic airport scene of Ep7.

     

    The drama so far is so close to the novel, with barely any changes except that SY is a softer sibling, the age difference of 5 instead of 7 years, and JY being so clingy. Novel JY was always hostile to DJX, yet expects and tells everyone that he and she will get married. Like woah, girl, we get your agony and angst losing your father that way, but paying back doesn't mean DJX should also suffer for life!

     

    Given the success of Hidden Love, I'm excited, and hope it's true that the rumours of SY's story First Frost would also begin fiming soon.

  8. Dear @bai, I'd always remember how sweet  a mango pudding you were. Although we haven't interacted more the recent months, I've always thought of you as one of the best in JH, and my co-admirer of a beautiful Cdrama goddess. 

     

    It seems just yesterday that I was chuckling over the posts of your brother @abnoch with his cafe and coffee costumers encounters. So was that time I've asked him of you, how were you, then he gave the wonderful news you've recovered. I still remember you talking of studying overseas.

     

    You're both together now @bai, free from pain and the difficulties of this life. In your blog, you've been missing your brother so much, perhaps @abnoch missed you just as much...

     

    Rest easy @bai ❤️
