I’ve been too occupied with Wallace’s Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils that I totally neglected his modern project, Secrets Hidden in Time. How shady is thy name, drama! I kid. But a drama with such name could only mean troubles. Lots of them. And then when I checked the synopsis, I stifled a laugh. Here’s my condensed version: A woman in her 30s meets the man of her dream. With desperation burning her bum, she leaves her career behind and gets hired in the same company as him. Lo and behold, her superior is not the man she desires, but a handsome prick (what she calls him – Wallace?!)…BLAHBLAHBLAH.
Seriously?
The real synopsis from Wiki: “A ‘leftover lady’ (refers to unmarried women over the age of 30) nicknamed White-Boned Demon Su Man (Janine), meets Song Yi (Jia Nai Liang), a talented man for whom she has had a crush on for years. To get closer to Song Yi, Su Man gives up her own promising future just to work with him. Despite her efforts, Lu Li Cheng (Wallace), a man with whom she has had several conflicts, becomes her superior. Su Man treats him like a thorn in her side, yet he develops feelings for Su Man due to their interactions. Just when Su Man and Song Yi’s relationship gets on the right track, unforeseen events occur as Su Man and Song Yi’s past romances slowly surface. Su Man, Song Yi and Lu Li Cheng’s relationships are tested in every way.”
Themevideo:
- I’ll be honest here but the synopsis does not grab my interest at all. What’s wrong with women over 30 that they’re constantly being labeled as “leftovers” while the men are coined golden bachelors? Give me a break.
- As much as I dislike the story, the themevideo is quite romantic. For the uninformed, this drama is based on a novel by Tong Hua, one of China’s most popular romance novelists.
- Repetitive scenes: the cast members dousing in water – rain, pool, tears. Poor them!
- I hope this one turns out good or I could just be staring at Wallace. If the reports are true – its premiering in January 2013?

Hahaha! Alice! Your’e version of the synopsis just cracked me up girl! I luv Janine Chang and i was excited about her new drama then i read the plot – to me it sounds like another Queen of SOP. TW dramas are almost all the same just different actors. Janine’s last drama wasn’t great, the one she did with Peter Ho and even the first drama i saw her in with Mike He wasn’t all that but not as bad as Ring Ring Bell.
I really do hope the drama is good despite the tired plot. I’m not familiar with Wallace so not really concerned if she ends up with him or not

Yui, well….since the girl basically lost her mind over the said guy, I guess he’s her only one. Not fond of the story. If they play with my Wallace’s heart, somebody has got to pay the price.
Annette, the plot doesn’t seem to make sense even! I was just shaking my head all over the place. What sane woman would go that far for a guy? Looks like I ain’t gonna be rooting for the female lead. Another bumbling idiot as frea would call her. 😛
Janine has yet to move me emotionally. I liked her character in Black & White because she wasn’t a damsel in distress and could fight for her life. But so far, no deep feelings on my end. 😆
I hope you’d like Wallace Chung through this insane drama. ♥♥♥♥

My sis read the book and she said it was terrible!!! The only good guy or acceptable is wallace. The main girl character is irritating and frustrating thick. Cant wait to see how i can hate her in the live version. Poor Janine! LOL

I really hope that they do change the ending because Tong Hua thinks of the most uncommon endings, which is interesting but it always breaks your heart.
