Modawi's Secret (2023)

Strong leads, personality antis, warming up to love

Ah I can speak all day about this drama. First of all, a strong FL who is not brainless are hard to come by in the wild land of chinese dramas. While this is a contract marriage drama, it is yet different from any other ones. The story is sound, the casting of leads is solid, its like they were born for this role, their chemistry is flawless. Many times a woman is written as 'bold' in dramas but dresses timid-cute, breaks character due to poor story writing, but not the case here. FL Cecilia or Su Jin in the drama is a well written character, and she took upon herself to portray it so well. Say what you will, a real drama is carried by the FL not the ML. There are many beautiful locations, and whenever Su Jin came on screen, it is impossible to look else where, she is stunning and all her outfits were a feast to the eyes.

The music of the drama is surprisingly good, I found myself searching for the songs on yt. Which is a rare thing for me. The production quality was certainly of higher standard.

Btw I was not a fan of the 2nd couple trope, so that is the only space the drama messed up, but I usually skipped those scenes, you wont be confused even after skipping, as their story is mostly independent. So I can understand why others will rate drama lower due to 2nd couple lol. That does explain the low rating.

Overall, great drama dont miss! I will rewatch for the slow burn of romance blossoming and Cecilia Boey (FL) 's stunning outfits, and such a once in a blue drama moon jaw dropping chemistry of the leads. The are just so in tempo with each other.

Light, easy to watch, full of fun, badass, mature, and cute leads

I like this romcom lighthearted drama and their acting is really good. Nakaka excite yung mga scene nila di boring for me and nakakatawa din hehe.

-I love it it's an easy watch, full of fun and no annoying third party for main leads and also second leads.
- I like how they pretty fast solve if there was a misunderstanding
-Gusto ko yung manager nya supportive, attentive, and di boring
-the main leads chemistry is great and the second leads ang cute din nila lalo na kapatid ni Mu xui lun.
-Gusto ko din yung nalaman agad ng male lead identity ng fl para maka iwas sa masayadong misunderstanding
-yung story ng second couple i like it also huhu xiaoman

Sorry but had to drop it....

I am a big Gao Hanyu fan but unless your favourites are say Top 20 these things happen....

1. You have to compromise to mediocre scripts....
2. You will be a lead in a low budget drama.....
which will have limited creativity due to the low budget....
3. Unknown Cast & inexperienced cast....
4. As Male Lead with a decent profile but not major profile you will be given a Female Lead with very low profile....

I have no problems with the acting just the script and story.... Actors did their best which was keeping me watching for 3 episodes but I think honestly given what they had this is as good as they can do.... No way this keeps anyone watching for 30-40 episodes....

Gao Hanyu is still a good actor. I have completed many of his dramas.... Song Yan Fei as Female Lead was ok, no problems with her, she has been in ok dramas in the past just like Gao Hanyu, not a massive profile....

I hope see these 2 again as leads in a drama with a better, more entertaining, more creative story/script....
