Beautifully healing…

Personally, I’m not one to watch too many modern shows however I made this exception for BJT after seeing him in Destined.

I’ve never seen Hidden Love so I have nothing else to compare it to, however I feel like anyone watching The First Frost or Hidden Love should watch these two without any biases.

I thoroughly enjoyed every single thing about The First Frost. Our female lead, Wen Yifan portrayed by Zhang Ruo Nan did an exceptional job. As humans we all have our past and there are things that we rather leave behind, Zhang Ruo Nan did a such a good job at showcasing how someone with such traumatic past behaves. She is not your typical walk in the park female lead who going to have the upbeat personality, she isn’t bubbly nor is she going to be outspoken (at first) and that’s okay. At first I didn’t like how she wasn’t outspoken, but after experiencing all the thing she’s gone through and how so many people silenced her, why say anything else if they won’t stand by you. I began to understand her as a character and felt true compassion, every action that she has decided on is basically to protect herself. She’s flawed, but she’s also willing to allow herself to be free from her past. Her character is probably one of the best character growth that I’ve seen that felt organic with each episode.

Now for our male lead, Sang Yan who portrayed by Bai Jing Ting, he did such an impeccable job. He blew me away in Destined so I knew he would deliver as Sang Yan, and he sure did. Bai Jing Ting was able to convey so much love and patience towards the female lead. Even in times when he was at a lost for words to comfort our female lead, his eyes spoke so loudly for him, his actions that he did for her went beyond all measures out of care and love.

I truly like this show because it’s not all fluff and light, The First Frost appealed to me because it felt realistic and organic. The emotions that these two characters gave to the viewers is one that I’ll always remember. To be able to help each other, comfort each other and to help each other heal — it truly warmed my heart. I enjoy seeing broken characters who end up healed in the end, that’s just my cup of tea. However this may not be for you if you don’t prefer heavier subjects and want full fluff. But if you want an actual storyline that showcases the romance evolving beautifully, this is for you.

As someone who mainly enjoys seeing characters cultivate and immortals fight each other, this is the first (hopefully not last) modern show that I will have to give a solid 10/10 respectfully.
