Secrets in the Lattice (2021)

This deserves a watch

Theme : Very common school roammance. But there is no cliche to avoid.
This story might look very simple and straight, but this is very inoccent drama. This can be one of best school dramas ever.
The actors have depicted their feelings amazingly with their acting. just there eyes could say you what they feel about thhe character. This drama will not bore you for a minute. The story was kept sort with descriptive feelings. Can show the hardships of top students and their hard work to reach the goal.

This definlty deserves a watch, you wont regret.

Um romance slowburn colegial que vale muito a pena de dar uma chance!

Não tenho palavras para descrever as emoções que tive assistindo este dorama, do início ao fim, ele te prende de uma maneira inexplicável e quando você menos percebe, já são quatro da manha e você percebe que praticamente madrugou assistindo!
Os personagens são interessantes e sempre te fazem querer ver como vai ser a evolução deles e é tão satisfatório ver como os sentimentos, ações e comportamentos deles mudam ao decorrer da série! Posso dizer que eles são muito bem trabalhados!
Preciso novamente aplaudir a atuação impecável do Chen Zheyuan, ele consegue realmente incorporar o personagem dele! A atuação dele é tão fluida que te faz sentir tudo e ver claramente como o protagonista se sente nas situações! É tão bom ver um dorama com um ator tão bom!
Eu totalmente assistiria de novo. Porque além de entregar amizade, entrega um slowburn muito bom e uma moral de história muito bela.

#OurSecretLeadsIntoMerits

It's a school romance drama which started being a deskmate turned into a soulmate. This drama kinda remind me of the one iconic taiwanese drama of 2005 "It Started With A Kiss" which the ML was also the most genius in school and eventually turned out to be the tutor of the FL. But anyway, they are totally different😁. I'm really not into this kind of genre but this one is an exemption, as I've noticed that they've got vast number of good reviews and quite in good ratings. I loved how the story goes with inclusion of family affairs, friendship which gives me inspiration 'no one should be left behind', lifting each other to reached their own goals. And of course, a cute romance of a typical teenagers then, matured as they become older and same goes to their relationship. I cannot repress myself to be emotional whenever the guy genuinely shows his sincerity without realizing it's already out of his league😆ttttt....... the power of love certainly made you bubblehead. You cannot expect more to them but their production can make you to loved other preferences in a love story drama. Chemistry is undeniable, especially when they both in denial stage and jealousy takes place. It can also gives you glimpse of their technology as the ML was an automotive top student in the univeristy.....indeed, they are also advanced on this field. Their ost are suit to my ears, perfect for nostalgic mood and finding inspirations. I want to emphasize what Zhou Siyue said in the last episode, "Equation require solution but, love has no solution" (kaya marami tayong marurupok sa mundo).😅 Anyway, nice catch💯✔

Worth the time

A very good drama especially both leads acting were so good. It looks so natural and they acted with their eyes. It was not boring and the drama really taught about family, life and relationships. It is quite a mature drama and does not have any childish aspects. Recommended if you don't want to watch a heavy drama!

The actors are new but they portrayed their role very well and they look very compatible. Their acting were so good especially their crying scenes it was very convincing. I really had fun watching this and this is the next best drama alongside le coup de foundre.


The antagonists were not so annoying like other dramas and most importantly the characters are all mature. Even the second couple was fun to watch and have viewers to cheer on for them.

Falling in Love and Growing Up

I was in the mood for a school youth drama and Our Secret popped out on my IQiYi screen. The drama's 'biggest mystery' was 'Do you know my secret' and that got me hooked. That somewhat kept me glued to the subsequent episodes trying to find out what this secret was and why the ML was so cold towards FL at Ep 1.

As for ML, I didn't realise I have actually watched a few of his previous dramas but didn't complete viewing them (Handsome Siblings, Renascence). It never struck me he was handsome until watching Our Secret. Ahhh, his dark, kira-kira eyes when looking at FL; so mind-blowing. He was just superb as Zhou Si Yue. Jealous ZSY was also freaky hilarious.

By the end of the drama, I am the biggest fan of FL. She is not drop dead gorgeous or anything and is pretty timid at the start. She somewhat reminded me of myself back when I was in school (of course minus crazy drawing talent and hot guy sitting next to me). I admire her resilience especially in her studies, in fighting for her love and in just whatever she wants to do. Like Ding Xian, I had to repeat a year of my studies to achieve what I wanted. I really felt her anxiousness and despair at times.

Probably the storyline of the drama is not breaking any new territory, but the acting of both ML and FL is so filled with warmth and brings such a lovely feeling when I watched it. I also have to say the OST is exceptional. My favourite songs are 'Always Always Always I Love You' and 'Long Day'. There was also another backgound song playing at the end of Episode 4 when they left the taxi and were running to see the fireworks - such a nice song but it was not released in the official OST. I wonder who sang that song.

If you are looking for a school themed youth drama, give this drama a chance and you might be pleasantly surprised.

great high school drama

I don't normally go looking for high school dramas, but I have watched a few and this has got to be one of my favorite ones aside from Meeting You. What I loved most about this drama is that the FML is not over the top. Some of the high school dramas I've seen, the FML is usually borderline annoying at first (yes I know character development and all lol). She's a pretty chill character-which I love.

Also the main leads have such a cute chemistry, that I definitely felt nostalgic about my high school years just like other people have commented.

What I also liked is that she didn't total disregard the SML-after all they did grow up together. One of my pet peeves-although I do like love triangles, is that some dramas are quick to right off the SML once they do something wrong. Like ok lets just forget how much you helped me in the past and how you were basically one of my best friends.

I am happy as always when I find something that I wasn't expecting to be a great drama lol.

Its definitely a fun and quick watch.

BEST SCHOOL RELATED CDRAMA

i mean school dramas are usually quite cliche with the normal plot but i find this drama to be so refreshing, there’s always smth new each episode. usually i get bored at the first ep BUT PLEASE CONTINUE WATCHING…. it gets better each episode my heart aches so much when the ml cries..

i find that the front part like the character development is rly rly good, they did not rush into professing their love, their eyes, words and actions really shows.. it’s also not too slow to the point u get frustrated? it’s like nice and fluffy and warm.. got me screaming a little inside hehe how i wish they elongate the university life … it was cut short to a few eps :(

don’t rly rewatch cdramas bec of predictable plots but i’ll definitely rewatch this

THE CHARACTERS ARE PERFECT FOR THEIR ROLE…. their chemistry and acting is so good 🥺🥺🥺🥺 i can’t believe it’s only 24 eps

IF ITS SITTING ON UR LIST, PLS WATCH IT

This was super cute 🤗 the dialogue, the characters, the interactions - especially during their youth - were so heartwarming and nostalgic ! It's not just about romance but about your school life, academics, family, and friends.

I swear, the ML actor Chen Zhe Yuan (Si Yue in the drama) talks with his eyes - they're always filled with an emotion and you can tell exactly what he's trying to say. His voice is so calm too. His character Si Yue was utterly charming and intelligent. The dialogue + delivery of his lines were killer. Can't wait to see him in more shows and I hope he gets the popularity he deserves for his acting abilities.

For the FL actress Xu Meng Jie (Ding Xian in the drama), she's so adorable as a high school girl! Her voice is also soothing and she portrays the "shy girl" in such a likable way. She's not only shy, but has so much more depth to her and she also grows as a character. It's really sweet watching her learn positive things from the ML.

The side characters like all the friends, adults, and antagonists also did an amazing job. I'd say the episodes toward the end were a bit more cheesy and could've been more fleshed out with actual romantic scenes but I'll forgive it since I know China's entertainment policy doesn't allow much for high school dramas and I still felt the flutters anyways 😅 I totally recommend this to anyone reading !!

Nontonya Bikin Senyum-Senyum Sendiri

Genre High School drama memang salah satu favoritnya Madam karena ceritanya yang pasti gemas dan ringan gak bikin Madam capek hatinya nontonnya, maklumlah Madam itu termasuk tipe yang overthinking kalo lagi nonton drama

Sejauh ini menurut Madam this is the sweetest high school drama sampe bikin Madam ikut senyum-senyum dan malu-malu liat kedekatannya mereka.
Si Yue yang sebenernya care banget sama Ding Xian tapi malu-malu mau ngaku sampe rela dihukum lari lapangan dan rela berkorban perasaan karena situasi keluarganya yang tiba-tiba berubah saat dia kuliah.
Tapi tetep gak rela Ding Xian diambil orang dan akhirnya ngejar balik Ding Xian demi gak direbut si kakak senior
Suka banget lihat perkembangan hubungan mereka, walau tau sama-sama suka waktu SMA tapi mereka jaga perasaan itu sampai kuliah karena tau SMA itu bukan waktunya untuk punya pacaran. Gimana Ding Xian tetap semangat ngejar Si Yue karena tau pasti ada sesuatu yang sikapnya Si Yue berubah sama dia.

Jujur Madam baru liat ML dan FLnya diseri ini dan setuju banget sama netizen kalo chemistrynya mereka keren banget. Malu-malunya dan gemesnya alami banget

Very recommended untuk yang butuh drama yang sweet tanpa alur cerita yang berat-berat dan pastinya bikin kita ikut senyum-senyum sendiri

Its those thrashy classy romance but good tier ifykwim

Oct. 19, 2021

Okay, so this Chinese drama is quite interesting. I have seen the reviews and I expected quite a lot but I feel like it just did not meet the expectations for me. I thought that the plot was decent enough but not outstanding. Given that it is a high school to adult-type Chinese drama, it is expected for it to have lots of cliches. Which I did not mind, to be honest.

However, what frustrates me is the somehow development of the two leads. I am sure that everyone loved the ending as they got together finally. But the middle arc just irked me so much since it's promoting toxicity and dependent on each other. I feel like they shouldn’t have gone this route as they tried to make such good development for the FL. It was a pain to see how the FL forces and attaches herself to the ML like a glue. I didn’t find that cute or lovely at all. It feel dehumanizing at most. I really despise that arc, if the director just removed that arc, this drama would have been a good 9.5/10 or even a 10/10 for me.

So fair warning, but everything else is great. It's just the 3/4 part that just made me almost lose my interest in this drama. But the ending did redeem the show I guess for that painful middle arc.

SO OVERALL 8/10. Do I recommend this show? Ofc but only for those who have good patience.

FLUFFY CUTE DRAMA

If you need a sweet romcom to lighten your mood this drama is perfect .Unlike others I feel the plot is mediocre but it focuses on various aspects like chasing dreams,failures and youth apart from romance . The FL is clumsy but for some reason it's not annoying to watch her character(atleast for me) infact she is like every other naive teenager who usually takes decisions based on emotions.The weirdest part was how they introduced a love triangle in the 18th episode.That was unnecessary.

The cast of this drama surprisingly won my heart.The main leads give me butterflies everytime they are together.There are misunderstandings between them and a childhood connection just like every typical highschool drama.The secondary couple has a cute chemistry as well.
Overall I'm enjoying this show and can't wait to complete it.Would recommend to anyone who is in mood of sweet fluffy dramas.Hopefully there won't be any plotholes.


EDIT

I wish they gave more screen time to the side couples....love how in the end there was peace between all the characters. They followed the cute concept but didn't erase the fact that both the leads are chasing their dreams .
