Ten out of Ten

The First Frost is a beautifully crafted drama that stands out with its compelling storytelling, emotional depth, and unforgettable characters. Even from the start, the series delivers a perfect balance of romance, humor, and heartfelt moments, making it one of the most memorable love dramas of recent years.

Bai Jingting shines as Sang Yan, effortlessly bringing charm, wit, and emotional nuance to the character. Unlike the typical cold male lead, Sang Yan is warm, humorous, and deeply loyal, making him my instant favorite. His character development is outstanding—showcasing his journey from a mischievous older brother to a mature deeply caring partner. Bai Jingting’s natural acting style makes every scene feel authentic, and his chemistry with the zhang rounan is electric.

The cinematography is breathtaking, with stunning visuals that enhance the emotions of each scene.

Overall, The First Frost is a must-watch, especially for those who appreciate well-written characters and a romance that feels both real and deeply touching. Bai Jingting’s portrayal of Sang Yan is one of the drama’s biggest highlights, solidifying his status as one of the best actors in the industry today.

Amazing drama with quite heavy angst

Well I don't know and care what other people think of First forst I personally can't stop giggling while watching the drama and then suddenly crying help when I'm busy simping over the leads suddenly we get random flashback of what happened 8 year ago and help it is heartbreaking i just need to remove the whole highschool part from the drama it's heartbreaking and specially by bay wen yifan deserve so much

I never read the book so idgaf I'm watching this drama as drama with a normal story I've watched like till 10 eps now and hell I'm gonna continue watching all this drama is boring leads can't act miss my hidden love leads can shoo away I LOVE Zhang ruonan acting like bro can act i can see the pain and helpless she feels and bai jingting did a amazing job aswell it's litreally i came to this drama for Bai jingting and stayed for Zhang ruonan(MY NEXT WALLPAPER COVER I'M SO CRUSHING OVER HER I NEED HER)

My only problem with the drama is that my aren't getting closure of what happened why it's happened maybe we did ane i didn't notice it enough like it's super duper obvious that sang yan is head over heels fallen for wen yifan but the seperation was too hurtful that's why he's acting like this but still can't stop loving her I so so get his character but I actually don't understand wen yifan feeling for him I don't again maybe i didn't focus well on some epsiode scene so correct me but if seems even after all these she's confused about her feeling maybe it's just me who feel like this but the way she act towards sang yan make me wonder did she ever liked him she's seem super confused and awkward around I mean yeh she rejected and had pretty valid reason but the love or even just the attraction from her side seems lacking maybe this is the way she protect herself from getting hurt but it's make me mad cause why sang yan he was there for her everytime like litreally but seems like something is stopping her i actually don't understand her character so well so someone might make me understand

Other than zhang miaoyi character is such a cutie patootie i love her but zhai xiaowen character is super annoying and irrating (the irony is I love him in always home) AND THE MOST HATEFUL CHARACTER OF THE DRAMA IS THE MOM fight me

Bai Jing Ting's strong genre, ZRN had left weird impression

I had watched almost all BJT drama, atleast gave them a try of atleast for 5ep, BJT had given best for this drama, for me, his strength is in acting helpless,caring,pity,fomo and jealousy, and SY has it all, living completely for his loved, So it kept me driving till the end and more, but I had mixed feelings on ZRN as WYF/WSJ her emotional scenes were almost killing me but her reactions before and after acting shyness,walking style, dumbness were very weird, which became better from ep 16, I didn't feel the character needed that dumb flavor becuz she is prominent reporter which would require fine and pleasant reactions, although the costume designer did a decent job, few choices would have been perfect, you can give it a try if u like BJT work in you are my hero, new life begins etc

A slow-burning, healing romance about reconnection and second chances.

This is the story of Wen Yi Fan and Sang Yan, two first loves whose relationship ended tragically, by Wen Yi Fan’s own decision. Years later, they unexpectedly reunite and become roommates, and the story follows their journey of reconnecting.

I came into this series completely blind, knowing only that it’s loosely related to Hidden Love (which I haven’t watched yet). So, I went in without any real expectations.

That said, this series touches on themes of abuse that could be triggering, so proceed with caution. But beyond that, it carries a sense of healing.

The pacing is slow, with a lot of silence and subtle gestures in their relationship, which I found to be quite meaningful. Both characters have been scarred by life, with Wen Yi Fan hurting Sang Yan being a key element. Over time, we slowly uncover the reasons behind Wen Yi Fan’s decision to distance herself from Sang Yan.

It’s clear that they need to rediscover each other, to share their stories, and to forgive one another.

Their growth feels organic and, dare I say, realistic.

Despite the underlying melancholy, there’s really a healing energy, enhanced by beautiful cinematography and soundtracks that makes this series a rewarding experience for those who have the patience to appreciate it.

Disappointing

If others don't dare to speak up then I will. This is very important!!!!

The story is very boring, even the dialogues seem a lot unimportant. It is much more comfortable when reading the novel or manhwa. The atmosphere is much more pronounced, while this drama seems not Obviously. Okay I don't know what Asian fans think, why this drama is so popular. Maybe because they are waiting for a spin off from the previous story. Only if this is a standalone drama I think this could be considered a failure.With actors like Bai Jing Ting and Zhang Ruo Nan, they are unable to sustain this uninteresting story. Even though they have tried to explore the characters and characteristics of the shop.But the dialogues and script are very bad, I even feel that Wen Yifan here is like a stupid woman who doesn't know how to talk.Please, this makes me restless, a drama that should be good has become like this and no criticism or suggestions are given.The audience is too blind to the trend and high expectations because this is a famous story with Bai Jing ting's very stunning visuals. But honestly this drama is not good.

Not my cup of tea

My expectations were too high with this drama. The leads are gorgeous but the plot was too depressing compared with Hidden Love. Chinese dramas these days focus more on being visually appealing than have a strong story. There were many gifable moments but that's it. The story was really slow and dark. The plot about the dead dog and the senile grandpa was unnecessary. It took so much time from the main story or even the 2nd leads. The moment the uncle appeared I decided to drop this drama. This is not something I would watch as entertainment.

Wish I Had Dropped This Sooner

Let me start by saying that I absolutely loved Hidden Love, so I was really excited to watch this. But honestly, it was such a letdown. I kept hoping it would get better, which is why I stuck with it until the end, but I seriously should’ve dropped it earlier. It just didn’t live up to my expectations.

Guarenteed Bittersweet, Slowburn, & Gentle Smirks

Overall, delicate production and visually pleasing. Lovely acting and chemistry between Bai and Ruonan, raising up my curiosity every upcoming episode. The back and forth flow of the story makes a bitter, rather sweet feeling. Those who are looking for a drama that offers portrayal of everyday life and it's tough, but real challenges of the world, and just contents that makes you lowkey smirk, this slow-burning pace will surely entice you! Reminds you of how imperfect human are, and how one action after another will change a person as a whole, whether it's an awful deed, or a positive one.

okay, just a few things im picky about

a good show, done well by the director so far (24 eps in, basically the hong kong scene) honestly i might js be picky about a fwe things. other than that, this show is a good show , i love the acting. visuals are there, i dont skip anything much and overall it's a good show.

i might js be picky but honestly it pissed me off when BJT, instead of waking Wen Yi Fan up when she's sleepwalking like Wen Yi Fan asked for he freaking kept getting in her way?? like ik you're trying to help her not get hurt and all that but like you can not make up fantasies about her kissing you n stuff after she asks you about what she did during her sleepwalking (first time she sleepwalked in front of him) when you're literally setting her up for it?? like you're literally in her way of course shes going to interact with you and do things she cant control? dont blame it on her like oh my gosh just wake her up or lock your door like she said??

also, it was cute that he followed her around but the more i looked into it the more it looked like an obession... like the amount of tickets he had to go to Yi He? honestly kind of scary like at high school it was cute but after high school it was lowk getting annoying..

overall a good show. BJT just pisses me off sometimes.

Overhyped, boring, and no chemistry.

Where do I start?

The beginning of this drama I thought I was going to like it, but it was so boring.
Thinking is it just me or is this really that great?

It's not. (If you think it is. Good for you.)

ML follows fl left and right. He is so obsessed with her and you can't ask me why because I stopped paying attention everytime I started the drama.

The texting scenes between the leads was most annoying to me. He texts in circles and she doesn't know what he means and his attitude is irritating.

I watched a drama where the girl character was following this guy around, but everyone disliked her character so badly for it. But this ml does just this? *Crickets*
No dislike for him at all.

Anyways, I'm super picky and this drama just wasn't what I was looking for at the time.

Or maybe not even in the future.
