Agreed

It started so well, i dont like the ending

They are cute together

The writing could have been better, the ex plot dragged for too long

I hope its the last time we see him 😭😭😭

Tired of the ex 😬😬

I found myself laughing while reading your comment it’s unfortunate that some people respond this way over a fictional drama.

I hope they don't mess it up 😭

This is written well with meaningful lessons throughout. Park Bo Young delivers yet another standout performance, as expected.

I read all her messages posted and you are a liar

You are such a liar by the way, in Precious message it shows that she messaged you about the user she fought with, you lectured her and she found out you were a troll hence why she replied to you, every other messages down below are not her account these are people i have seen on other pages what is wrong with you, she said in the comments that she has moved on unlike you

Your English is the same as the other user whitewhisky having the same typo, have you forgotten other users will read through the comments and check your accounts, you have not commented here before this is so embarrassing talking to yourself, you added feud to your watchlist without rating 😐

I really miss Love Next Door. It’s one of those dramas that sticks with you, not because it’s full of shocking twists, but because of how real and emotionally grounded it feels. The story may seem simple or predictable, but that’s what made it hit even harder for me it captured the quiet moments, the soft connections, and the slow but steady growth between character

One advice though don’t force yourself to watch it just because others love it. This kind of story works best when you’re in the right headspace for it.

I still cannot believe the user who didn't like this drama is still lurking around so funny.

The story is beyond that, and I didn’t find it repetitive. But if it’s not your thing, that’s totally fine! You can try The Best Thing though they’re different in pacing and approach, you might enjoy it more.

I get what you’re saying it’s fair to feel like things are moving slowly. But I do think what you’re looking for is a fast paced drama, while this one is a very intentional slow burn. The sleepwalking scenes aren’t just there to stretch out the episodes they highlight something deeper about Yi Fan’s trauma. In the novel, this aspect was even more detailed, so the drama actually condensed parts of it rather than using it as filler.

The plot is moving, just in a way that focuses more on emotional development rather than dramatic twists every episode. If it’s not working for you by episode 13, that’s understandable, but the pacing fits the kind of story this drama is telling.

No every drama is the same, and this one is a very slow-burn story. The pacing is intentional because it reflects Yi Fan’s struggles she’s not at a place where she can just sit down and have a proper conversation yet. Her avoidance and slow progress aren’t just there to drag things out; they’re part of her healing process.

That being said, if slow-burn stories aren’t your thing, it makes sense that it feels too drawn out. Maybe give it one last try to see if the pacing picks up for you, but if it’s not your style, it’s totally fine to drop it too.

The sleepwalking scenes aren’t just there for romance they’re a way to show Yi Fan’s unresolved trauma and emotional state. She’s drawn to Sang Yan subconsciously, even when she doesn’t realize it herself. It’s not just about hugging him; it’s about how she feels safest with him even when her mind is in turmoil.

The slow pacing also reflects how their relationship rebuilds over time. Yi Fan isn’t someone who can just ‘clear up misunderstandings’ overnight her struggles run deep, and healing doesn’t happen instantly. If she just explained everything right away, it wouldn’t feel as real.

I get why you’re frustrated, but Yi Fan’s decision to leave for six months wasn’t pointless. She was dealing with deep trauma and needed time to process everything. Her past experiences made it hard for her to open up, and leaving gave her the space to heal on her own terms. It wasn’t about abandoning Sang Yan she just wasn’t ready to face everything yet.

Could she have explained things earlier? Maybe. But trauma doesn’t work like that. Sometimes, even when you love someone, you need distance to sort through your emotions. Sang Yan understood that because he truly cared about her, and in the end, her leaving helped both of them grow.

The First Frost was written before Hidden Love, so it’s not meant to have the same tone or structure. It’s a much darker story about trauma and resilience rather than a bittersweet first love. Trauma doesn’t follow one universal pattern it's realistic for the female lead to feel unsafe around most men but trust Yan because he has been a safe presence in her life for years. Expecting the drama to become fun and light like Hidden Love misses the point; this story is about survival and healing, not just romance. The repeated trauma is difficult to watch, but it reflects real struggles rather than being excessive for the sake of drama.

Sang Yan does lead Yi Fan back to her room in certain scenes and doesn’t just leave her alone. He even fixes things to prevent her from getting injured. I also don’t think Sang Yan and He Suye can be compared because Sang Yan only started changing after meeting Yi Fan, his sister mentioned it in the drama. Yi Fan also understands his personality. If Sang Yan was truly problematic, he would have kissed Yi Fan back when she was sleepwalking or drunk, but he never did. He’s still supportive, just in a way that involves more teasing than He Suye. But yeah, I wouldn’t compare them."
