Secret Love

Wow. I put this on the list for months and finally took the plunge. I was blown away. The first few episodes were so absurd, I was afraid the whole thing would be a soap, but the acting kept me from looking away. I had so many questions and I could not stop watching. The male lead was phenomenal and I loved the intensity. The chemistry between the ML and FL was amazing. There is nothing lukewarm about love, and this story showed all the emotions when each character was trying to act out of love. The emotional range and passion reminded me of shows like Doom at Your Service and It's Okay To Not Be Okay. When the characters comforted each other during their times of distress, you felt the intimacy of love in the deepest way.

I spent every episode questioning why each character did what they did and the writer kept on answering all the questions. The character development was so real and intense. I love kdramas because I get attached to the characters far more than a movie or American show. This show was too short and I would have easily sat through 16 more episodes. This is definitely on my rewatch list and shot up to my top 5 kdramas after watching over 100.

I've been watching Korean TV drama series for the last couple of months and I gotta say, none of them kept me watching till the end curiously. It certainly has very interesting storyline and fantastic drama. Camera work is great, lighting, acting... everything is perfect. The amount of advertising products is acceptable in comparison to other Kdrama series. Anyways, it's highly recommended!

This Drama is well written, with a compelling plot, powerful performances, and a heart-wrenching storyline. But the highly disturbing mis-treatment and abuse of women, the main character in particular, makes this drama almost unwatchable at times. Not even ten years old, this drama is not going to age well. It's a feminist nightmare. Even as a man writing this, I found it appalling how the physical and emotional abuse toward women was conveyed in a matter-of-fact way. I'm a big fan of K-Dramas, but was very disappointed in this drama.

You will be surprised about how people can change or maybe they just get to show their true nature? A very emotional drama. You will love, hate and cry with it.

I like the female lead in dramas, she can immediately cry and act really well. In rom coms, I often find her annoying and overacting but she also had great chemistry with her partner. In this kdrama with Jisung, I like her better than in kill me heal me. The story is a cliche but you would anticipate on the next episode and it was really a heart ache drama.
