The plot was a simplistic one performed exceptionally by the actors. After several episodes, I realized that at the end of each episode, I would have a smile on my face and lightness in my heart. I will definitely watch this many times.

All the actors did a terrific job. I'm in awe of Shou Lu Si's versatility. After watching the complex drama "The Story of Pearl Girl", "Hidden Love" at first seemed to too easy. But then I realized that this coming of age slice of life series portrayed her with the young teen's angst of first love to an emerging adult deeply in love. She maintained the consistency of her character from age 14 when she fell in love at first sight until she eventually was proposed to at 22. It was a warm hearted Cinderella story. I admired that her family and the male lead had a generous spirit and a strong sense of moral responsibly. The main couple portrayed a healthy relationship that displayed respect and genuine caring.
