I'm not a huge fan of melodrama and romance together but however, this drama could be perfectly summarized into two words: A masterpiece. It had some flaws but I'm glad that I watched every last bit of it, although I have had my moments where I was so frustrated and wanted to drop it within the first few episodes, this drama definitely won't fail you once you pick it back up again.

Let's start with the actors. I've seen Hwang Jung-eum's acting before in Kill Me Heal Me, but I found her acting in Secret to be more likeable than KMHM. Some people won't like Yoojung's personality at first as people might view her as submissive and somewhat of an idiot but I found Yoojung to be the optimistic but naive girl that by showing her kindness, the world would repay it to her the same way. However, that wasn't the case as she suffered and endured a lot and had a total 180 with her personality to the point where I cried every time she did and felt her pain to the max. Ji Sung did a superb work with portraying the rich but a huge jerk of a guy that thought he could have it all but then started to develop a sense of responsibility for all of his actions, while also having an obsession disorder that I think was portrayed amazingly. Bae Soo-bin and Lee Dae-hee. Amazing. Bae Soo-bin is the definition of the guy whom you thought was the perfect boyfriend to the person whom you wanted to crush him every time you saw him and Dae-hee was the perfect classy but petty second female lead and I couldn't help but want to see more of them. Truly wonderful actors.

The story was a reversal of Wuthering Heights. A love that resulted from revenge that was not an easy plot to realize into a likeable drama like this one, but I was so fascinated with every plot twists and obviously, the 'secrets' that were uncovered, which would make you view the whole drama from a whole new perspective. However my one critic is that the ending was a bit unreal for me and how Se-yeon let go of her grudge so quickly was questionable. The ending was fast-paced and all of Yoojung's problems were all solved and uncovered by themselves, which I thought was going to be bit-by-bit. In spite of that I rooted for the poetic justice that Yoojung has finally received.

The music is amaaazing!! I still get shivers and I have all of the OST's on my playlist, definitely a masterpiece OST that truly convey what each of the couple's are truly feeling. Rewatch value is a 9 for two things: The crying and the melodrama. Even if you rewatched the drama a couple of times you would still sympathize with the characters and cry with Yoojung and that what makes it even more amazing, but not for sensitive hearts like mine haha. ;w;

Overall, this drama is a 10/10. definitely would recommend. If you're looking for a quality drama, quality actors, tear-jerking music that would truly 'steal your heart', a drama to cry your eyes out while still cherishing those happy moments once in while, then definitely go for it. Don't watch it if you're looking for a time-waster or watch it while multitasking cause this drama WILL TAKE UP YOUR ENTIRE SCHEDULE. Seriuously, I binged watched it while i had my finals #sorrynotsorry. :D
