Wow, I like that one, very well done! 👏🫶And for me, it's definitely “not looking at the road while driving”.…
By the way, the “talking about a person where they can irl be heard” has become a running gag for me. I often watch historical Chinese dramas where the characters are ALWAYS standing in front of PAPER doors.... and are not overheard while talking about important secrets. I find that hilarious.
And for me, it's definitely “not looking at the road while driving”. I mean, we're mostly talking about series set in big cities, which means a lot of traffic, and it literally makes me nervous when I see them looking at the person next to them (instead of the road) for what feels like HOURS 🤦♂️ (but that often includes another flaw: when you see car scenes or even car chases/races, there are NEVER other cars around. In big cities, yeah right, quite normal 🤦♂️🤦♂️)
I know there is a lot of hype about this drama, but please allow me to add some personal regrets as well. I haven't…
As I said, this text was not meant to be hateful towards BJT, but merely to express my regret for something that will never be seen, and at the same time my admiration for Victor Ma.
im going to start this but before that what is the time line ? in the hidden love is sang yan single there ? who…
I feel like First Frost, based on the age of the characters (just because it starts in the youth of the “big brother”) but the timelines start to overlap later on
I know there is a lot of hype about this drama, but please allow me to add some personal regrets as well.
I haven't read the web novel, I only know Hidden Love and I really liked the actor of the brother (Victor Ma) in Hidden Love. Because of that and First Frost's script, I can't help but keep picturing him in that role. I think I would have loved the drama with him even more because somehow I can't help but get annoyed in scenes where Bai Jing Ting is called ugly or not beautiful or whatever. It just doesn't fit in my opinion. I mean, obviously he's a handsome guy (and a great actor of course). On the other hand, Victor Ma definitely has a rougher and tougher look in comparison, which I think would have fit the role perfectly (and also fit the comments about looks a little better). But I realize he probably would have been too old for the role.
I’m still watching the drama, and this text isn't meant to be hateful or anything, it's just meant to express some regret and melancholy in memory of Hidden Love, because like I said, Victor Ma really grew on me, and in the past I've often envisioned a sequel with him as the lead...
Just to be sure: It's not one of those “suddenly the character has a terminal illness (or whatever) and dies at the end” dramas, right? Is it a happy ending? (My poor soul can't take another drama with a bad ending...🥲)
My vote wasn’t counted? 🤔 (it say played 5 times but there are only 4 votes…?) (Edit: seems like it just took a veeeeery long time to count my vote, now the numbers add up again)
I love bad/evil/crazy characters, so it was very difficult to choose between villains siding with good guys and crazy/insane (evil) character ... In the end, I went for the second one because overall, dramas with insane characters are never boring lol
This one pissed me off. ML tells FL 500 times that he hates her, treats her badly and FL just says nothing and is the good little woman, what the hell. She could have at least yelled at him or something, but no, doormat FL as usual 😤
For my personal taste, FL is written as one of the most unlikeable characters ever. She annoys me to no end. I don't like stories where one of the main characters seems to be more in love than the other, and because of FL's cold and distant behavior and her weird decisions, the plot more than favors this point of view.
Nevertheless, I love the sets, the costumes and the male lead (both his character and the actor). But overall, I have the feeling that this drama has somehow wasted potential.

This drama is amazing! Great lead actors, great use of CGI, no boredom (even if it has 40 eps),...
Bonus plus point: I totally grew fond of Wei Jiu, would have loved to see a bit more of him (and a bit less of Su Yu...😜)
