Watched Lighter and Princess while waiting for new TFF episodes which was both a blessing and curse because it was really damn good as well. And now that I finished both... what the hell do I watch next to fill the void left by these two.. lol
The First Frost totally changed my perspective towards modern CDramas. Up until now, I can even count the amount of my completed modern CDramas with one hand, out of hundred of dramas watched.
I know drama with this level of quality will be far and few between, but I'm going to actively start following modern CDramas going forward. TFF truly has been an eye opener for me. ❤️❤️❤️
How does the novel end?Is it any different from drama?
It's a little bit different. The novel ended with Sang Yan proposing Yifan at the classroom, same as drama. But, the followings are drama original stuffs.
- The interview and slide shows of family and friends - Sang Yan fumbling the ring box - The heartfelt tearful exchange of both Sang Yan and Yifan
But, there are extra chapters that shows events after their proposal.
Can't express enough how much I loved the additional stuffs the drama added over the novel in the final episodes.
Biggest one being the proposal scene. I was kind of curious how the drama will handle the ending scene. And boom, just like that, one of the most heartfelt, beautiful, and bittersweet proposal scenes in CDrama history. This gonna stay rent free in my head for a long time. ❤️❤️❤️
I first watched the first few episodes on the day of airing. Very intrigued by the story immediately, so went and finished the novel within a few days and loved it so much. As the drama continue, couldn't help but fell in love with the drama version of the story again. Shout out to Zhang Ruo Nan for her amazing portrayal of Wen Yi Fan! I connected with her in so many levels.
The First Frost now holds a special spot among my hundreds of cdrama and kdrama watched, and I know I will be rewatching this very often.
Let's meet again under Legend of the Female General page, whenever that may air... I know I'll be camping there hard, just like I did with TFF. haha
YF has to be one of the best characters out there. The fact there are people out there who have actually went…
Yifan is my favorite character in this drama, and became one of my favorites in CDrama as well. The character itself was well written to begin with, and ZRN portrayed it perfectly. I already know I'll be rewatching this drama regularly for her.
Well, today was good. But... in episode 26, the scene between the second couple really surprised me. It's the…
Haha, the condom part was between Yifan and Sang Yan in the novel. Still, it's very rare to see it even mentioned like you said, and more so they bothered to bring it over to the drama as well. xD
i am at ep 25 currently and this is SO triggering. i can't even imagine what yifan went through. someone please…
The creep uncle and aunt will have their comeuppances. There is no redemption arc for the mom in the novel. Hopefully the drama keep it the same for the mom as well.
I will never forgive that 6 month separation!! I’m just finishing it cause I hate starting dramas and not finishing…
No. In the novel, it was like this. - Sang Yan flew to Yihe after having an argument with Yifan - A few days later, Yifan followed to Yihe and had a talk with Sang Yan (what we saw in Ep27)
The narrative were different between the novel and drama. In the novel, it was focused on Yifan coming to realization and coming to terms on her own.
In the drama, the script gave Sang Yan time to learn about bits and pieces of Yifan past on his own during the 6 months duration. And at the same time, also gave Yifan time to come to terms with herself (similar to novel in this part). In the novel, Sang Yan basically didn't learn anything about Yifan's past until Yifan told it to him.
I'm a novel reader as well, and I don't mind the change the drama did. It depends on individual perspective.

I now view TFF and L&P as gender reversed relative dramas lol 🤣
May be TFF rewatch?? 😂😂😂
There is minor separation for about 1-2 episodes.

How beautiful the final episodes are! I'm gonna miss this drama soooooo much! ❤️❤️❤️
Wen Yifan: Let me live 6 years longer than you, so that I can love you for longer and make up for the days I left you behind.
This is peak y'all! 😍😍😍
Was waiting for this scene, and it didn't disappoint!

Imo, drama version is more cathartic because there was a build up on Sang Yan's side as well.
