Secret Love (2013)
10/10
Gripping, Emotional and Unforgettable
5 December 2023
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.
