Secret Love

Hey Everyone!

So, I finally finished the trio of dramas that I wanted to watch before 2013 ended. As you have read already, I have watched Master's Sun and I Hear Your Voice, but finally I have also finished Secret Love. I wanted to save this drama till later during the holidays, but I figured I should just watch it now and spend time with loved ones when back home instead. Anyways, this drama did live up to the hype that it created while competing against Heirs early on. The drama was mainly about Kang Yoo Jung and Jo Min Hyuk. The opening scene was quite dramatic, where YJ was being tried for a hit-and-run case. When she was sentenced, the flashback to what happened occurred. YJ was a sweet and bubbly character, that worked a lot of jobs to support her boyfriend Ahn Do Hoon; she helped pay for his education to become a prosecutor. Now, he finally became a prosecutor, but his mother still did not approve of their relationship. It was their 7 year anniversary that day, so DH decided to propose to YJ that night. However, that is when everything started to fall apart. DH proposed to YJ and she accepted wholeheartedly. But, unfortunately due to the rain (and broken windshield wipers), DH hit a woman while almost getting into an accident with a truck. What was extra unfortunate, was that she was pregnant with none other than MH's child. While the crime was being investigated, YJ had no idea what was going on. DH's car was registered under her name, so she became a prime suspect. When she realized what had really happened that night (she thought they just hit a barrel), she felt guilty and wanted to avoid DH getting punished, so she took the fall for the crime. What she didn't expect was MH taking revenge against her from that day onward! The first step to the revenge was making DH take on the case as the prosecutor. Initially, YJ got 5 years of imprisonment, but as soon as she entered, she found out she was pregnant with DH's child. She gave birth to the child and was almost set for parole, but MH made DH prevent the parole. What was worst was that YJ's baby was also taken away that day. After that incident, YJ got through the rest of her 3 years of imprisonment alone and hoping to reunite with her child once out of prison. But what was waiting for her was more misfortune. After her father found out about her arrest, he got vascular dementia, and so lost his cognitive abilities and memory. Not only that, but YJ found out her baby died of sepsis while at the orphanage. She was now at rock bottom, but MH was still lurking about trying to cause her more pain. The rest of the drama revolves around the hate that MH had for YJ and revelations of many "secrets". This drama was very well written and the lead actors definitely had great chemistry! I would give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars because of how great the acting and plot were. That's it for now.

I'm off,
