This is incredible adaptation of the population Novel. Everything is well thought off. Cast, direction, screenplay, writting, editing cinematography all are perfect. It's presented such intense story in endearing manner. How story incorporated angst, workplace abuse, toxic parenting, domestic violence in every subtle ways without drama. Attending social issues with healing and romance. Perfect blend. This is not your regular cuddles, xoxo romantic seriesWas this review helpful to you?

The narrative employs a non-linear storytelling technique, seamlessly transitioning between the characters' high school years and their adult lives. This approach enriches the plot, allowing viewers to grasp the depth of their shared history and the evolution of their relationship. The series is lauded for its melancholic visuals and deliberate pacing, which accentuate the emotional gravity of the story. As noted by Indiatimes, "The masterful storytelling and melancholic visuals add to the intentional slow pacing of the drama."
Bai Jingting's portrayal of Sang Yan is marked by a quiet intensity, effectively conveying the character's internal struggles and lingering affection for Wen Yifan. Zhang Ruonan delivers a compelling performance as Wen Yifan, capturing the nuances of a woman grappling with past wounds while confronting unresolved feelings. Their on-screen chemistry brings authenticity to the portrayal of a love that is both tender and tumultuous.

Perfect cast | music | plot
I came across the TTCBZ manga first, and then moved on to the novel since it was incomplete at the time. After finishing the novel, I realized the author had created a story for SY, and I started reading it. I fell in love with it, even more deeply than with TTCBZ. From there, I witnessed the start of the manga, and when HL was announced, I was hoping NH would get its own drama too! When I first saw that the actor for SY was VM, I was a bit skeptical (honestly, I’ve been a VM fan even before HL came out) because I couldn’t imagine him in NH. I was disappointed at that time, but he perfectly captured the role of SZ’s annoying brother. I still couldn’t imagine him as NH SY until FF was announced, and BJT was confirmed. I was honestly thankful.The ML and FL perfectly captured SY and WYF. I don’t care what others say, BJT is perfect for this role and always will be. HL SY definitely belongs with VM, as I can’t imagine BJT as the annoying, loud brother. But for FF, SY is perfect, and BJT is SY. Their chemistry is amazing. As for the second lead, ZSQ didn’t appear much in the novel, but I liked her character since she always supported WYF. However, in this version, she’s a bit annoying, though she means well. The romance between the two leads didn’t happen in the novel, but honestly, I imagined it. These two should be together—it’s perfect!

Terrible
Blinded by the MDL ratings I started watching this series. The female lead is beautiful and can really act, the camera work is very good and all views are very carefully chosen and beautiful, the music is excellent. Everything else is aboelutelly terrible: a male lead looking and behaving like a mid-schooler, fully absence of writing, zero perspecive in direction.The feeling is of a long MV, very long 32 times 45 minutes?! Please give me the invested time back!
Anyway, it's my fault to le tme guided by random ratings and fan reviews...

ONE OF THE BEST 2025 C-DRAMAS!
Mark my words. This drama is a masterpiece, everything is portrayed very beautifully, to anyone who’s starting now, GO WATCH IT and do not WASTE TIME. From the production to the actors, 10/10. Also the OST!!!! Oh my god. Thank god episodes are coming out every day because I couldn’t bear the thought of waiting that much.Last thing, prepare your tissues, because you will cry a lot.

Second episode
The moment she tells him he might get tetanus just for little bruises made me laugh. You get tetanus through animal farm manure.No roses, no rusty nail, not because someone punched you in the face.
Other than that, it's a nice story.
I wish her friend didn't have that voice. So annoying.
I don't fancy the male actor though.

I update my review after watching whole show but after watching first episode and found it was related to hidden love my expectations with this drama already increasedWas this review helpful to you?

drama really pulls at your emotions
I started watching The First Frost from the very first episode, and I have to say, this drama really pulls at your emotions. It has everything… beautiful moments that make you smile, and scenes that will make you so mad, you can’t even process it. The intense emotional moments really keep you hooked.What really stands out is how mature and realistic the main leads are. Their performances feel so genuine, and the chemistry they share is amazing. While it may not be exactly like Hidden Love, The First Frost has its own special magic. It has a way of drawing you in and making you feel everything the characters are going through. The way it handles emotions and relationships makes it such an unforgettable drama.

Simplesmente cativante
Primeiro, vamos começar dizendo o quanto eu esperei por esse drama?Na época que Hidden Love foi lançado, eu não conhecia as novels, mas devorei a novel de Hidden Love e logo em seguida li a novel de "Hard to Coax", que é a novel que deu origem a esse drama. E eu fui completamente capturada por Sang Yan e Wen Yi Fan, aguardei ansiosamente o anúncio do elenco, vi os reuters das gravações pelo Weibo e contei os dias até o drama sair.
The First Frost entrou, sem sombra de dúvidas, no meu TOP 5 de dramas favoritos. A fotografia do drama me deixou obcecada desde o primeiro episódio, e amei como eles fizeram tal qual a novel, com flashbacks e tempo atual, seguindo a cronologia certinha.
Muita gente reclamou quando saiu o elenco, pois não gostou da troca de atores, nem gostaram da seleção da atriz, mas por ter lido a novel, eu percebi como esses atores seriam perfeitos.
Bai Jing Ting como Sang Yan trouxe toda a profundidade que o personagem precisava, enquanto Zhang Ruo Nan deu o nome como Wen Yi Fan, para contrariar todo mundo que fala mal da atuação dela. Eles brilharam !
A história seguiu um bom ritmo, sem apressar nada, fazendo todas as peças se encaixarem e, aos poucos, WYF ir se abrindo mais com SY e com seus amigos. SY também obtendo as respostas que ele sempre quis e nunca teve, e entendendo todos os motivos da WYF, e sendo o apoio dela sempre.
Assistam sem medo, o final é lindo e feliz!
