Min Hyeok is the rich heir of a big company, but instead of following his father, he would like to marry Ji Hui, the love of his life. Sadly, his father wants him to marry Se Yeon. At the same time, Yu Jeong is happily together with Do Hun for seven years now. When they celebrates the day of their engagement it starts to rain and they meet an accident. When Do Hun goes out to check what the car hit he discovers a girl, bleeding but still breathing. Being scared of loosing his bright future as a prosecutor he lies to Yu Jeong and goes home with her. When the police comes to find her, she tries to save her boyfriend and tells them, that she drove the car. With that statement, she gets all the anger from Min Hyeok, who from now on decides to make her life as hard as possible - and sending her to jail with the highest sentence possible is only the start of that.

First I want to repeat that I am not a very big fan of all the melodramatic series, especially if they are Korean since they tend to let all the characters cry enough tears to water all the deserts of this world. But having said that, I really enjoyed this drama! The best part was probably the acting. All the characters did well, even if they had to cry waterfalls. They did it beautifully. Also all the angry and crazy scenes were played beautifully, and let me tell you, there were enough scenes that would've made me crazy if something like that happened to me. And with that, we're at the kind of problematic part of this drama.

The story is good and classic. It's some kind of revenge, but then they fall in love. Been there, done that. But then the main couple isn't the only one involved. At some point, I didn't even know who wanted to take revenge on whom anymore. Because all the characters where somehow involved and it just was a crazy hate-story. That's also what made me doubt that romantic relationship between Min Hyeok and Yu Jeong so much. It came way too fast and out of the blue. I wished they took some time from the overlong beginning and put it at the back of the story. At first I thought I wouldn't like this drama much, judging by the slow start of it. But the previews kept me watching, which is a good thing. The pace picked up and I was happy as it was, only the ending was a bit rushed, together with the romance.

So, all in all, I can really recommend this drama. For people who like melodramatic stuff, this will probably be very exciting and good. If you are expecting a great romance line, don't watch it. It's not worth the romance, but the relationship of all the involved parties. The exciting part isn't the love, it's the hate and the things that change through time. The scary secrets everybody has and that make you see them in a different light, once you know them. I guess that's also why the drama is called "Secret". It's after all the essence of that drama.

3* out of 5* for a great drama, that just happens to be not my style of drama. Still, definitely recommended to fans of those dramas!

I just finished watching this show here's my opinion.

The story got me hooked from the start to the end, it was heartbreaking and I cried almost all episodes.

The characters were all so well acted. I've never hated a character in a drama more than I hated dohun and I felt yujong's pain so deeply, that only means the actors did their job perfectly.

I loved the ending it was satisfying, the only thing I could complain about is that I kinda wish yujong could have her son with her although I understood her decision. Hopefully in the future when the kid grows up he will understand and consider her his mother.

As for the romance between minhyuk and yujong in the beginning I couldn't imagine how they would go from deep hate (in minhyuk's case) to love but then the show made it work and it was worth it, I just wish there were more scenes of their love, I felt like with a few more episodes it could have been better on that part.

As for the osts I loved them and I added all the songs except the instrumentals to my playlist.

New Favorite!

I loved this drama I have only a few on my favorites list and this a new one I finished it in one day it was so good! The acting was very good and if you hate to love dramas this would be for you and if you have watched Mask (2015) I guess you could say its like that but just a little more different in some way but it's still a very good drama and definitely recommended you watch it and it's most definitely a re-watch when your bored or go nothing to watch. Sometimes you wanna punch your screen cause the people in this drama make you mad or very unhappy but you got to keep it in cause how else would you watch dramas if you broke your screen lol.

a melodrama i would always come back to

i can't entirely express my love for this drama! it is so brilliant from the plot writing to the actors' acting as well as the soundtracks and cinematography.
the story, i would say, is a pretty classic or even cliche one, a love story between 2 people who have feuds or hostility towards each other. but the drama was conducted in a way that still leaves us astonishing moments as well as intense emotions. it doesn't make us bored at all for knowing how the story is going to end!
the break-ups, reunions, and starts of relationships in the drama are full of emotions: joy, sorrow, and surprises. the progress of characters in discovering themselves thanks to other characters and learning to love and cherish who they love is gold, which attracts and keeps the audience till the end of the drama.
not to mention the visuals of all 4 main characters is undeniably great! Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum have established such perfect chemistry in this drama that I could not accept the fact that they are not even real!
overall, a very satisfying drama to watch! highly recommend!

Ok, I've seen it so many times what it's obvious the only possible rating of my part is 10. It's just that the drama has an intense, dark and profoundly touching charm. There are many few Korean dramas with such a captivating melodramatic plot and equally few cases of such a chemistry as Ji Sung's and Hwang Jung Eum (fortunately, both of them reunited in "Kill Me Heal Me" and I couldn't say where they were better, as they really managed to play absolutely different characters with an amazing naturalism).
I love the aesthetics of painful beauty laying in the relationship of the leads, an interesting development of the characters and another wonderful feature of this drama: the supporting plot disgorged into the integrity of the drama with an absolute naturalness. There are a lot of brilliant dramatic scenes and somehow one can admire it as a good cocktail.

Story- as soon as I saw the story I knew I would like it, although there were some parts I did not like, overall the story was good.

  Cast- now this is one thing I didnt like. especially the female leads actress, she was very annoying. I also think the female lead could be a bit dense at points but other than that it was fine. I liked the male lead he was pretty good, other than that the rest of the cast was nice.

  Music- The music was nice I loved the song sung by Ailee.

Rewatch- I probably wont rewatch this. I rarley rewatch dramas anyway.
 
Overall- I would reccomend this drama if you want some good writing, with some mystery. I dont reccomcend if you dont like the female actress, and dont like a lot of crying. (there is lots)

SECRET'S secret of a successful drama - THE CAST

My first review although I have been having sleepless nights watching dramas throughout the lockdown period. BUT i had to give a review on this because one character who stood out though a mere supporting character. But the character Gwang Soo was my ultimate favourite in this series. A through and through loyal assistant who never flinched and would never stop a second from carrying out a task given by the hero Min Hyuk. The story was not typical but it was too melodramatic for me to give it a full-scale 10. But every character was aptly cast hence the acting was impeccably played. the romance was just nice without the normal cliche of falling in love very quickly. it was steady progress and took place at the perfect timing.

Quand l'amour rend bête... et l'arrivisme odieux...

Il faut vraiment s’accrocher et tenir bon la rampe pour résiste à l’avalanche de catastrophes qui s’accumulent sur la tête de cette pauvre Yoo Jung, qui se retrouve en prison pour 3 ans alors qu’elle est totalement innocente !
Il faut résister à l’envie permanente celui crier « mais bon sang ! Dis que tu n’y es pour rien !!! » tellement ça paraît invraisemblable qu’une femme supporte tout ça pour les beaux yeux d’un homme ! D’un homme, qui plus est, plutôt du genre « planche pourrie » qui non seulement ne la soutiendra pas mais l’enfoncera ! Sans parler de Min Hyuk, l’héritier caractériel, qui ne pense qu’à ce qu’il peut inventer pour faire de sa vie un enfer !
Il faut aussi passer sur le scénario du début qui nous fait sauter d’années en années très rapidement, juste le temps de faire un enfant, passer deux ans en prison et en sortir et là commence vraiment l’histoire.
Mais ensuite commence ce qui fait l’intérêt majeur de ce drama : les personnages, leur psychologie et leur évolution. Parce que le « méchant » Do Hun est en fait un faible, blessé par les humiliations qu’une société de classe gérée par l’argent lui a infligées, qui veut absolument monter dans ladite société, il y perdra presque son âme. L’autre « méchant » Min Hyuk, n’est qu’un enfant qui n’en finit pas de faire le deuil de sa mère, que son père ignore ou traite comme un pion, à qui on a enlevé son unique amour, et le chemin sera pour lui difficile pour devenir un homme !
Sa fiancée officielle Se Yeon (arrangement entre fortunes) semble dure et cynique, sans pitié, mais en tant que femme elle le doit si elle veut sa place à la table du pouvoir. La moins intéressante pour moi est l’héroïne, campée dans sa stature de perfection morale persécutée, mater dolorosa et victime expiatoire, qui ne se rebelle jamais, supporte tout, est un peu lassante quand même ! Il faut remarquer qu’elle est un roc autour duquel les autres tournent et soit qu’ils s’y opposent, soit qu’ils s’y appuient, c’est elle qui va générer leurs évolutions diverses !
Donc au final, j’ai suivi ce drama avec beaucoup d’intérêt, bien que, comme toujours, je l’ai trouvé un peu trop long ! Il aurait fallu équilibrer le début trop expédié et la suite trop insistante…
Très bonne distribution, Bae So Bin excellent dans ce rôle difficile, Ji Sung parfait, Lee Da Hee aussi (cette pauvre femme, si elle continue à maigrir, un coup de vent va l’emporter sur les côtes japonaises sans qu’elle y fasse attention ! ) et une mention pour Choi Wong, l’ombre, le bras droit et l’ange gardien de Ji Sung. La musique ? Je ne m’en souviens pas donc elle doit être bien !

NO WORDS FOR THE CAST!

I love how the story is quite different and it portrayed how much can one person do in the name of love and success. THE ACTORS DID REALLY GREAT. I love the music used in this drama.

SPOILER ALERT:
The end part kinda weirded me in a way because Do Hoon admitted to his faults just because he felt guilty upon seeing his son living with another family. I get it since he is the father but with his character, I think he won't let his successful career go down the drain just because he felt sorry for his son AFTER ALL THOSE SACRIFICES TO GET UP THERE. Another thing, Min-hyuk's father in the end just allowed his son to do what he wants when he spent his whole life pushing him to be the heir. Se-yeon on the other hand broke up with Min-hyuk even if she said that it's fine being unhappy as long as they're together. If this is character development, it's good. But I don't think the situations that occurred is enough for them to suddenly have character development. It's like they changed suddenly because the show will end already. Just my two cents.
