Best Chinese drama ever made.
I rewatched this drama again today and obviously loved it again.so I created another MDL account with my twitter account and rated it 10/10 ratings.This drama is really good,This was my first Chinese drama. This drama was broadcasted on February and I am still on this drama.I am not a fan of Chinese dramas ,I believed that every Chinese dramas are lookalike with a same setup, costumes,old buildings and every story with prince or emperor.This drama was totally different,it felt like a Korean level drama,Infact I can easily place it on top 3 best drama on combined list of best Chinese and Korean drama.Both lead actors have a great chemistry with each other.Was this review helpful to you?
The First Frost
I just finished watching The First Frost, and I have to say — what an absolutely beautiful drama! From the very first episode, I was drawn into its emotional depth and heartfelt storytelling.Bai Jing Ting and Zhang Ruo Nan’s performances in The First Frost are nothing short of outstanding. Their on-screen chemistry feels incredibly natural, making their characters’ emotions and relationships deeply relatable. have to say, Bai Jing Ting looked incredibly handsome throughout the drama! Whether he was dressed casually or in more formal outfits, he carried himself with such charm and elegance. His expressive eyes and warm smile added so much depth to his character, making it impossible not to fall for him.Zhang Ruo Nan was equally impressive, bringing grace and authenticity to her role. Together, they made the perfect on-screen pair, delivering a heartfelt and memorable performance.The First Frost isn’t just a drama — it’s an experience. If you’re looking for something that’s heartfelt, emotional, and leaves a lasting impression, I highly recommend watching it. Trust me, it’s the kind of story that stays with you.
Honestly, if I could rate this drama more than 10/10, I absolutely would! ❤️

An Absolute Treasure – A Story of Strength, Love, and Growth
The First Frost is more than just a romance drama—it’s a beautifully woven story about resilience, self-discovery, and love that isn’t about saving, but about standing beside each other.Wen Yifan is a character I found myself deeply relating to. She is intelligent, independent, and kind, but what sets her apart is her quiet strength. She faces hardships head-on but in her own way, not with exaggerated toughness but with a calm determination that makes her truly inspiring. What I love most is that she proves you don’t have to shed your femininity to be strong. Strength is about endurance, about standing your ground when the world tries to shake you.
San Yan, on the other hand, is far from the stereotypical “prince on a white horse.” He doesn’t swoop in to rescue her; instead, he sees her, understands her, and walks beside her, trying hard to fulfil her unspoken wishes. Their relationship isn’t built on grand gestures or unrealistic tropes—it grows through mutual respect, struggles, and moments of quiet understanding. It’s the kind of love that feels real, one where both characters remain true to themselves while also growing together.
Kudos to the Second couple, who did a great job as well. I do love FL's best friend, she's always there for everyone but sometimes fails to be seen when she needs others. But that did not stop her from taking care of her friends. I guess her 'to-be boyfriend' is a testament to her kind soul.
Finally, the cinematography is breathtaking, the storytelling is nuanced, and the chemistry between the leads is nothing short of magical. Every interaction, every glance, and every conversation carries weight, making it impossible not to get emotionally invested.
If you love stories that celebrate strong, well-written female leads and romance that feels deeply authentic, The First Frost is a must-watch. It’s not just a drama, it’s an experience.

A Love Story to Remember ❤️✨
The First Frost feels like a warm hug on a cold day gentle, emotional, and full of heart-fluttering moments. Bai Jingting and Zhang Ruonan’s chemistry is just perfect, making every interaction between them feel so natural and touching. Their love story, from old classmates to unexpected roommates, is a mix of sweetness, nostalgia, and healing.I absolutely loved the proposal scene it was so beautiful and heartfelt! And the sleepwalking scene? That moment when she hugged him was just too adorable! It made my heart melt. The cinematography is stunning, the OST is lovely, and the little details like the way he looks at her when she isn't watching make everything feel so real and magical.
Hidden Love will always be my favorite drama ever, but The First Frost has now made it into my top 5! If you love slow burn romance with emotional depth and heartwarming moments, this drama is a must-watch

sang yan!!!! he sets the bar SO HIGH!! 🥹 no one can top him i fear.... he is the literal definition of walking green forest 🥹 i love how he waits yifan. waits for her to be ready to be loved again. he never make her feel uncomfortable, not rushing anything. just taking it slowly and always respecting her boundaries. they deserve each other so much and I REALLY LOVE the ending of this series. it shows sangyan's pov how sangyan did the first move. all this time, he is the one who noticed yifan first. he fell first and fell harder. the yearning... the heavy angst is top tier for me ♡Was this review helpful to you?
Best chinese drama of all time
Everything is perfect in this drama. This drama deserves rating of over 9. I guess peoples(fans of other series or actors) are envy of its success.The First Frost is an emotional masterpiece that took me by surprise. With its heartwarming story, deep character development, and breathtaking cinematography, this drama effortlessly pulls you in and doesn’t let go.
What sets it apart is the chemistry between Bai Jingting and Zhang Ruonan, so natural and heartfelt, it feels like you’re witnessing a real love story unfold. The slow-burn romance is beautifully written, with just the right mix of nostalgia, healing, and emotional tension.
Every frame of this series is a visual treat, supported by a soulful soundtrack that perfectly captures each mood. It’s not just a romance, it's a story about growth, reconnection, and finding peace with your past.
If you’re looking for a drama that delivers both heart and quality, The First Frost is a must-watch. You’ll laugh, cry, and reflect then wish you could watch it all over again. One of the best Chinese dramas in recent years

I also like the scenery it’s quite beautiful to look at. funny,relatable at times and relaxingWas this review helpful to you?
A Masterpiece.
This drama can be described beyond the meanings of beautiful, masterpiece, and perfect.The first drama that I'll ever rewatch without getting tired of. A must-watch.
...
Honestly, that's all that I want to write, but mydramalist doesn't accept this much length.
I'm not good in writing reviews, and I can't write things the way it is actually in my mind. But when I say this is a beautiful and must-watch drama, trust me, it is. I have been a long time drama and film lover. I've watched romance genre ever since, and believe me when I say that a certain drama is a good drama. I have high expectations when watching dramas, and I would immediately drop it if it's cliché. And this one isn't. It's a masterpiece. Noticing that the names of the characters are quite the same with Hidden Love, I searched it up. And to be honest, it's way way way way way better than Hidden Love. It doesn't convey "love" as any other cliché drama— where it all happens fast. Although the guy had a love at first sight, this drama still showed deep love all throughout. It showed what really love must be like. Though it's quite unrealistic to see a guy to be in love with the same person for years, and maybe forever.
I don't know why I was quite let down by the first episode's cinematography and production, but I'm glad I continued watching it all the way. I was not disappointed, but rather pulled in to witness such a heart touching love story.
Everything about this is just IT. The actors are perfect, the production, ost, and storyline. This is now my most favourite out of all.

And then… somehow… I stayed.
This drama is slow. Very slow. But the slowness is not empty — it is intentional. Every pause, every silence between Sang Yan (Bai Jing Ting)and Wen Yifan(Zhang Ruo Nan) carries emotional meaning. This is not a romance that feeds you constant excitement. It makes you sit, think, process, and feel.
Sang Yan starts off frustrating — acting cool, teasing with arrogance, flirting without fully reading Wen Yifan’s emotional boundaries. And Wen Yifan’s distance is not coldness — it’s fear. Fear of offending him, fear of making him uncomfortable, fear shaped by personal issues and past experiences. What makes this drama good is that both reactions make sense. Their misunderstandings feel human, not forced.
As the story progresses, Sang Yan evolves into one of the greenest green flags ever written. Patient, emotionally aware, gentle, and deeply respectful. Not the heart-pounding type like Duan Jiaxu (Hidden Love), but the kind of man that makes you feel safe. Almost unrealistically safe — the kind that raises expectations to dangerous levels.
One of the strongest points of this drama is its friendship and side storylines.
The storyline between Zhong Siqiao and Su Hao An is surprisingly good. Their emotional timing, separation, and progression feel logical and earned. It’s not filler romance — it adds depth and warmth to the story. Even He Chen (the doctor friend) is so likable that I genuinely wished he had his own storyline.
Visually, this drama is beautiful. Bright, clean, soft, and emotionally supportive. Zhang Ruo Nan looks absolutely stunning here — vulnerable, lost, and radiant in a way I’ve never felt in her other dramas. Bai Jing Ting’s tall presence, deep voice, and restrained emotional delivery justify every heartthrob label given to him.
The Hidden Love references — familiar characters and music — feel like a warm blessing rather than fan service. Even if the faces are different, the emotional continuity works, and I accepted it naturally.
This drama won’t make your heart race.
It makes you feel, soften, and quietly heal.
If there is a wedding scene, this is an instant 10/10.
Until then, it’s a solid 9.5/10 — slow, gentle, emotionally intelligent, and deeply immersiv

Precious and beloved
First of all, their acting is amazing. I don't know why, but when WYF cries or holds it in, I feel like I'm going through the same pain as her. It feels like my heart is about to pop anytime soon. And the story is so beautiful. Some dramas only have romance or war. But this one had everything so perfectly. San yan seemed like a tough guy and WYF seems like a soft girl. But their appearance is so different than their personalities. Directors did an amazing job of finding the perfect face for WYF's character. Sometimes I couldn't hold that heartbreak. So I just stopped watching it for a few minutes to calm down.Once again their acting was superb. It's been so long since I last watched a drama like this. The last drama I watched and can compare to this one is I think Hidden Love. Both of these are amazing. Different stories. But the feelings and qualities are the same. So lucky to watch dramas like this. While I watch this, I always thought, someday my kids will not like our generation's dramas. But maybe they'll find hidden gems like this one day.
Once he told, we are the most precious gifts we have - WYF (My favourite line of this drama)
