A drama of continuous deception and lies
This is the first review I have ever written about any drama and i will be brutally honest...… I didn't like the series at all..The drama started of good........ and that's it..........
Why I disliked the drama :
1. negligible to no romance ( love felt only from the ML side)
2. lots of misunderstanding ( the fl had plenty of time to tell the truth...... but she didn't say a word...... it took almost 27 episodes for the fl to say the truth....... only the ML was showing efforts)
3. unnecessary love triangle ( the SML was so obsessed that at one point he felt like a creep )
4. FL behaviour ( she was portrayed as childish, witty, strong....... but to me it felt like she was too self centered )
I thought that at least the romance will become good at some point if I push on...but no..... there were only some small moments between the ML and FL but other than that...... it is just plain with repetitive plot for me.

Bad pacing......... over hyped....... unbelievable characters
I belong to those minority group that did not like " The first frost "....... let me explain why :1. the biggest show stoper for me was the FL..... many might criticize me but hear me out..... the fl faced may hardship in her life, but some of them could have been avoided if she had just faced them.... every time a problem occurred the first thing she did was run away.... most of the time I was frustrated because she never speaks out her problem, the show just shows that she is so miserable she cant say any thing..... there was so much build up up to episode 19 were the leads were finally able to behave like couple but then suddenly her uncle came back and started blackmailing her..... she initially showed some spine by warning them to not interfere with her life but then in the next episode she runs away without saying any thing to any one, even the ml...... so what was the point of everything..... the ml was miserable for those 6 months and she was trying to forget everything and move on in her life.... the show only focusses on portraying the fl as weak and miserable where as they should have also shown how she fought back her misery...... she was basically sheltered by the ml........ in her previous work place where her boss misbehaved her and the wife of boss slandered the fl, the fl was just standing still there listening to all the accusations without replaying any thing.....
2. the ML in a nutshell : a guy who helped fl endlessly but the fl dumped him ( with the excuse if she goes some where far away then her problems might stop ), after he got dumped by the fl he remained single for 8 years, after meeting the fl again after 8 years he again supported her but then got dumped again searched for fl for 6 months again....... this kind of person even for a story is unbelievable.... the ml was there in the show just to help the fl....
3. the pacing : the show has pacing issue but i watched the first 16 episodes at 1.5x speed.... the cinematography, music were great, but the show focused too much on the hardship of the fl rather than her fighting her problems.....
4. the chemistry : for me the chemistry between the ml and the fl was ok.... they had their sweet moments in some episodes which i felt wasn't enough ( especially if you are marketing the show saying romance genre)
It was just my personal opinion regarding the show.

Don't waste your time....... it is too overrated.
I will get straight to the point..... this drama sucked. I had to force myself to watch all 40 episodes as the story was dragged.Everything, from the main lead (especially the female lead) to the story, was bad. I will just talk about the ML and FL because that was supposed to be the core of the story :
1. The fl was very selfish. I get that she was kept in a prison-like environment from childhood, but still. Her personality is timid, weak, and indecisive. She herself broke up with the ML, but after 10 years, she now wants to get close to the ML again. And the funny part is when the ML tries to get close to her, she just tries to push him away. She is so doubtful that she would break up with the ml just because he kept some things secret. She always needs someone to tell her how good the ml is, then only she would go back to him. It felt like she was just using him for her comfort whenever she wanted, and then even if a small problem arose then she would leave him. The mother of fl broke her and ml whole life, but even after all the suffering, fl sympathised with her family......... this just showed that she had no consideration for the feelings of ml.
2. The ML faced so many hardships due to the fl mother, but in an episode, he said that he doesn't want to take revenge. I mean, bro, are you serious.... she destroyed your whole career, misbehaved with your father, made you forcefully break up with your girlfriend, and so onnn..... and you say you don't want revenge, this is one of the most lamest things I have ever heard in a drama. the ml has zero self-respect as he just allows the fl family to trample all over him.
This just showed how weak-willed the guy was.
I don't know how this show has so good rating.
