The First Frost, An incredible drama.
I come to this drama without any expectations of it being this good, I haven't watch Hidden Love thus I was going blind with the story. At first I was hesitating to start it since C-drama typically are long ep, and I like watching a drama in one sitting. But The First Frost might change it for me, I binged watch 1-10 at first, and kept up with new ep everyday.
The story is super super interesting, I really dig what's Yifan story is, how her hardships during her high school days made her do choices that only benefits her, what I am talking about is how she was only looking at herself, and it has a reason though. It is to protect herself. But slowly she realize that someone, ugh when she saw the tin box of Yang with the tickets and picture of her in graduation, I shed tears. I was happy that she saw it (was literally the scene I want to see).
Now Sang Yang, what a story he has. He endured the pain, might have blame himself on why she left him. But his strong attitude made me like him. I can see why Hidden Love would be a good watch knowing how different Sang Yang will be. I aspire to be like Sang Yang.
I want to talk about the cinematography of this drama, It's so beautiful, the places they go to in Nahwa, Beiyu, or even in Yihe we're gorgeous. It made me want to go there for real. The effects is also so good, even the practical effects of using reflections or the crystalize things complements the scene more and added emotion.
The cast is perfect for the roles, Bai Jing Ting facial expressions really capture a confident person, it hooks specially when he looks at Yifan. Zhang Ruo Nan is the perfect Yifan, her portrayal of it should gave her a LOT of awards, I really was sympathizing with her, I cried with her, I was happy when she was happy. She portrays a girl that left by her family really well. The second leads are also good too, well I may be bias since I really like Zhang Miao Yi, she's a perfect best friend for Yifan. Edward Chen too did a well job portraying a man losing his parents and having the doubt of him being the reason of their death, and I was happy with her grandparents too. All of the other supporting cast are to commendable too, especially the one who portrays Yifan's uncle or Che Xing De, whenever he comes to the screen, I just wanna punch that face. Nah seriously, his aura literally is like a deranged person.
I also like the music and background songs, it's not too emotional, just perfect. Plus how it enters the scene, using instrumental first then having vocals after it is so good.
I highly, HIGHLY recommend everyone to watch this. Even if you watched, Hidden Love or not, it's such a good start.
