Yushan on that horse riding away in the city, was simply beautiful and refreshing to see. Although she kind of had her redemption point I'm still angry at her for that horse incident. If not for that she'd be such an awesome comeback character, she was conditioned to see her father as her sky and pleasing men was all she ever learned from her mother yet she was still such a hot headed fierce person which I loved. Breaking those chains in your mind is often the hardest and I'm sorry that she could do that only after truly heartbreaking situation. I can't believe how every women character on this show fleshed out even with so little screen time. Love them all.
I've finished it finally and this was so good, I love Hanyan, she was so consistent from start to finish. Not overly kind and stupid yet not ruthless and heartless either. If I were her I could never be that generous but I'm glad that she was. This could've been a wonderful girl love story too cause Hanyan's chemistry with Chai Jing was over the roof. Male lead Yunxi was truly a secondary character and I'm glad that Hanyan's decisions weren't all revolving Yunxi, I hate when the female lead's all convictions and belief system based upon the male lead. Anyways, as allies they had good chemistry but I couldn't care less about their romantic partnership which is so refreshing to see. I love that about this drama.
Btw, did anyone notice where Yunxi stood at that firework scene, that scene broke my heart into pieces. Also even though OSTs were limited they were so good at conveying the feelings of the scenes, lyrics and melody sync was gold.
I knew that Mr. He was such a trash, men and their useless self importance never cease to amaze me. They read all the books there is, praised by the world yet all of them are selfish and heartless. Born from a mother yet they think they are above women. I wish all of them hell.
Yushan is truly her father's daughter, selfish and spoiled to the core. She has no worry but to get a man who gives no sh-t about her and keeps whining about her situation when she has everything with no struggle. She is so hateful and annoying enough to make my skin crawl. Han Yan is too forgiving and generous towards such a foolish yet evil person like her. If I were Han Yan I'd be killing people left and right, some ideas are the poison of this earth and whomever speaks and advocates them should be silenced along. I despise their hypocrisy and self serving kindness. She really should burn that city to ground as it has not a single human that deserves living, it is filled with beasts and vermins.
This is fun and unrealistic yet also pretty realistic, idk, it has a delicate balance. In real life such a relationship is bound to break which is also true for the drama but since this is fiction at the end I want these two weirdos to last.
He should've let that kind of father just die, I'm so done with everyone in this drama. At this point I support Grand Princess, at least she is all in for her daughter. They could have written her as an awesome character with ambition, I don't think she is more evil than her brother the Emperor, had she been born as a man she'd be ruling that country. Anyways, I find Jiang Si's misfortune heartbreaking yet despite all that her decisions so far have been pretty logical and she is pretty likeable as a character. The only downside is I simply want her to burn that house down, heck burn that whole country down. She is too kind, she should've just poisoned Grand Princess without anyone knowing and be done with it.
I had to comeback and say this, among all those evil people I hate her grandma the most. She is the most slimy grandma ever, she is all in for the benefits yet can't even have the decency to keep her own grandchildren alive. Such a grandma deserves to be on a stake.
Guys i'm at ep 2 rn and I'm still not feeling this drama nor getting intrigued, does it get better later onwards…
This is such a masterpiece but it is also pretty depressing and realistic if you look at the essence without the romance. Hidden Love was pure and light hearted because it was from Sang Zhi's perspective but had it been told from Duan Jia Xu's perspective we would have what we have in First Frost. Sang Yan and Sang Zhi had a loving family, stable and safe lives whilst their respective partners were quite unlucky when it came to their familial relationships. I'd say Jia Xu kinda had it better at least in his adulthood but for Yifan even that isn't working out as much, hence this drama might be a struggle if you are looking for a rom-com.
I can't believe such a mother even exists, her audacity is beyond me. Yifan has it really hard. I wish painful death to her so called family, each and every one of them is insufferable and it has been a while since I had my blood boiling over a drama. I'm having a panic attack watching her go through this, the worst part is that she is such a soft spoken introvert which is the exact opposite of me. Everytime she clamps up I want to scream at those piece of sh*ts instead of her. I want her to scream, curse and even get physical with her oppressors, she needs to work it out of her system or she's gonna get cancer or something else down the road.
Ugh, I'm really frustrated watching her, I understand her trauma but gosh...if this was fantasy or thriller I'd want her to go total villain route and kill all of them, she needs a freaking death note in her hands.
I don't know if it is beacause i am too young to understand or i have never had anything to do with police, this…
It must be nice to be able to actually respect the police, in my country we've seen to many cases where police/soldiers are only protecting who are in power whilst oppressing the weak. The same goes for our justice system, I have no trust nor goodwill towards any of them. Whenever I watch dramas where there are heartfelt good righteous police my heart goes out for them since they really don't exist in real life. I consider dramas like that as fantasy slice of life... they're as real as a fairytale gets.
Binged it again while waiting for the first frost and it is as good as I remembered. Duan Jia Xu is a whole green forest that's for sure but where can I find a Sang Zhi that's what I want to know. I don't know if I would like a her as much as I do if it weren't for Zhao Lusi since people like Sang Zhi, who doesn't have a shadow in their heart, are too pure for real world, and frankly I'm too jaded to ever like people like her. But she is like that umbrella when it pours down, the tiny shade under the harsh summer sun, last sitting place on a crowded bus, gentle breeze after a run, steady waves at shore when in despair... She is someone that makes you want to give your best to and thrive your best for.
A person like Sang Zhi could only grow up under a loving family/envoirnment which is a luxury in its own and what I truly love about her that she never takes that luxury for granted, she truly lives up to love and care she is given.
This drama, these characters are truly a balm to my soul. I want to give all of them a big hug.
Everything was so on point from start to finish, I'm really glad they didn't decrease the quality or pulled a deus ex machina yet still managed a really satisfying ending. I really liked the female lead and how her character was coquettish at times yet not annoying at all, also she always had her beliefs very well anchored all the time, wasn't overbearing but persuasive, not vengeful yet not wishy-washy either. Btw, I’m pretty surprised at her generosity in her first life, if it were me I’d probably not bother myself with the demon child in the first place, at most I’d let others deal with it and lend a hand when necessary. Falling for an annoying brat like SYS is something only MQG can achieve I guess, reformed and in love SYS is cute but the ungrateful brat version of him is really insufferable. As for MRW, I really hate how insidious she was/is and even though I don’t agree with her actions I understand her desperation. Some of us try endlessly with no result in hand and there is always that one person who is under the spotlight, without comparison maybe one could be content but if the said person is inevitably close to us then what… Overcoming that is no easy feat, even SYS in despair turned into evil, his saving grace was MQG and for MRW it was Sui Zhi but it was too late, wish she could’ve let go of her hatred and lived a better life. Everyone makes mistakes, I hope that we all have both the chance and insight to make a remedy and not be stuck in regret and hatred.
