Exquisite masterpiece after a long time:)
This is my first review and here it goes!❄️🍃
The First Frost has a special place in my heart! That happy feeling that you've just finished one of the best shows you've ever watched and also that empty feeling that you've just finished one of the best shows you've ever watched. That's what it feels like when you complete this drama. This is a story of a girl who carries lots of trauma and emotional distress with all her relationships, wants to take a chance and find her happiness, starts with Sang Yan.
I actually haven't watched a cdrama for quite a long time, so when TFF started airing, I learned that it was Sang Yan's story. I remember that after HL ended, the announcement for TFF was confirmed later. So, I knew it was supposed to air, but didn't follow much. One day, when I discovered that TFF started airing, I didn't expect much and started watching it late, believe me, I couldn't stop watching. The story felt so real because it wasn't what I expected, and I was hooked. And it wasn't too much fluff. It is just perfect. The perfect story with the perfect romance. I've never really felt the way I feel now about a drama. I did enjoy WIFTY and HL but this one just hits different. I didn't expect the characters to be this real, the experiences they went through, the way they love each other, everything felt so real. The ML and FL complement each other really well. The only drawback was that the SML story with grandparents felt a bit lengthy, and could've been shorter. But I was blinded by ML and FL, so I just didn't mind it. Later, I realised that the grandfather was kinda similar to WYF on how they reciprocated their feelings.
If you're someone who wants to watch slow burn with tender and soft romance, you should definitely start this! It has some intense emotions too, it was rollercoaster. I'm all here for the second chance, the first love, and these two huge green flags. And their chemistry was top notch. Every single detail, be it fluff, trauma, emotion, heartwarming moments, romantic ones, they nailed it! Their acting was great and so were the dialogues and the OSTs were chef's kiss. The way they look at each other, their chemistry, even the dialogues, everything is so heartwarming and thoughtful! Never did it feel cringey for a second. I also loved how the opening OST was SY's POV and the ending OST was WYF's OST. I feel the HK arc was necessary to add to the emotional depth of the leads and how much trauma affects an individual, and to show that trauma doesn't disappear overnight like magic. WYF is the strongest FL I ever witnessed in a drama, and SY is the biggest green flag I ever saw. And the emotional depth depicted in the drama and it's importance was insane. This was probably the drama with the most satisfactory ending. This drama brought me back to cdrama again. This is the best drama of 2025. And probably the best of all time to me. The First Frost will always be special to me. Thank you Bai Jing Ting, Zhang Ruo Nan for the perfect portrayal of Sang Yan and Yifan. Thank you to the cast and crew for making this unforgettable masterpiece. I enjoyed every second of this drama, and it was worth the wait;)
I can't believe it's done, I already miss them! It's hard to let go and say goodbye - and I'm sure I'll re-watch the drama again and again. Let me conclude by saying: EVERYONE NEEDS A SANG YAN IN THEIR LIFE!
P.S: I rewatched twice already, and their dating era once, and still rewatch many episodes and can't watch any new drama. I listen to the OSTs everyday, such an unforgettable drama. SY raised the bar so high and their love feels eternal. They deserve each other and love each other unconditionally. TFF will always be my comfort and healing drama. The direction, production and cinematography was top-notch. Once again, thank you to the cast and crew for creating this masterpiece.
