So at this point, they're physically separated because SZ is passing the holidays at her parents house and DJX had to go back to Yi He because of his work. Before he left, her parents had a talk with him and he left thinking he really wasn't worthy of SZ and that he was doing her parents wrong (DJX has a great debt of gratitude towards her parents, since they lent him money for his mother's cancer treatment when even his other relatives refused to help back then). So he's feeling really bad and talks less with SZ because of it. So she starts to suspect something is wrong with him and guesses correctly that her parents said something to him. So, she flies all the way back to Yi He determined to tell him all her " secrets" (she gives him the bottle of milk she kept with every little star she made that contained her thoughts and wishes from when she was younger, about how she's been in love with him since she was 12, about how even after all this time, she has never loved anyone else but him - confessing there's never been any "online boyfriend" -, telling him he is so great that there could never be someone else for her) (´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ )♡╰

[EDITED]

She basically means that, even if he tries to leave her "for her own good" it's no use, she'll just be alone forever and continue loving him (as she's done for all those years). SZ is a really proud girl, so when she confesses all her little lies and exposes the intensity of her feelings, letting him know that actually she loved him first, with all her defenses down, for the sake of letting him feel how greatly loved he is, it's really emotional. I just love this scene so much!

[/EDITED]

After this, they go back to his apartment and DJX ends up breaking his principle and drinking alcohol for the first time, getting drunk. Then, they end up having their first time.

Jiang Yang is Duan Jia Xu's former classmate. Duan Jia Xu's father was drunk driving and ended up running Jiang Yang's father over. He ran away from the scene and her father died. After that, Duan Jia Xu's father tried to commit suicide, but failed, staying in a vegetative state. Jiang Yang is in love with Duan Jia Xu and uses her father's death to blame and mess with Duan Jia Xu... And demands him pay montly repairement fees to compensate for her father's death. She uses this to keep contact with him and demand attention.

Yes, unfortunately they did. I kind of understand her parents point of view. Sang Zhi grew up really spoiled, and she has lots of privileges from birth: she's naturally beautiful and smart, besides the fact the she grew up in a rich loving family. She was brought up with no hardships what so ever. And like every other parent, they wish she would be with someone who would be able to support her in everyway and bring her only good things. Though DJX is a nice kid in their eyes, he's not the "perfect" son-in-law they had in mind for her (mainly because of his family circunstances, that, because of the culture, will also affect in a way the person who would end up marrying him).

I'm not yet a parent, but I can understand where her parents are coming from. And I think it's completely normal. In the end, after some conversations, they accept them together as a couple just fine (though it's tough for DJX since he already doesn't feel he is worthy enough for SZ even before her parents opposed). This point was the only moment I thought they would maybe break up... But fortunately, SZ knows DJX so well she's able to guess what's he is thinking and is able to prevent any stupid move of his. This scene is one of the parts I cried my eyes out. SZ is so precious!! Don't wanna spoil what she does, but I can if you want.

That's probably because during those scenes she is actually 13 in the novel and they failed to adapt her mental age when they decided to make her older for the drama. lol

It's not completed yet.

Anyone's that curious about this story, go read the novel and the manhua! You won't regret it!

Just finished episode 7. Crying my eyes out right now! The airport scene has managed to make me me cry in every single form of adaptation. It's just so relatable... Ending your first love really hurts.

I can imagine viewers swooning over Sang Yang lol Thank God he's gonna have his own drama. Just sad that people might not even realize they're the same character

Imagine those typical "cool" yet rude and blunt somehow popular guys from shoujo mangas. That's Sang Yang lol Victor Ma's portrail of him is way funnier than he's supposed to be, that's why it feels a little off to me.

I've watched until the sixth episode and now I can definitely say that Victor Ma doesn't have Sang Yan's vibe at all. He's way too playful... Sang Yang is supposed to be way grumpier and unbothered. It's the only thing that's not really faithful to the original work until now from what I could tell (apart from they having changed Sang Zhi's age a little bit).

They could've done it like a combo lol Since Sang Yang's the male lead for the upcoming drama based on First Frost. Instead, they chose to make different actors play the same character.... I'm not complaing about Zhang Ling He though, I think he's gonna do great <3

Yes. In both novels (First Frost and Hidden Love) Sang Yang is said to be as handsome as DJX. They are so popular during college (but never had any girlfriends) so people actually thought they were actually dating each other. lol Though I like how Victor Ma has the "older brother" vibe, he doesn't really fit the image I had in mind for Sang Yang. I imagined him more like Zhang Xin Cheng. Ayeh, that would definitely be my dream cast.

That's faithful to the novel though. It is mentioned DJX thought she was way younger than her actual age when they first met. And his reaction when she tells him she's in grade 8 on the first episode is also on point.

She remindes me of Bae Suzy in some angles!!

@Popcxqueen Fair enough, I can see why you would misunderstand my statement. But again, I wasn't talking about Yoo Ah In specifically.

@bowwie Yeah, you're absolutely right. And the reason why I disagree with anyone trying to defend him in this case is because I don't believe there's any excuse for him to be using illegal drugs. Even for medical purposes, I am 100% sure that there were legal alternatives to any health condition he might have. I've never heard of any disease in which the cure is strictly the use of marijuana or propofol. What's more, the studies that mention marijuana as a form of treatment are fairly recent, I doubt he would agree to be treated with such a new and under development way while being aware of the problems that would rise if he got found out. Having said that, the more likely option is that he used it for recreation purposes while knowing it's illegal. That being the case, it's right that he is being punished by both the law and the public.

As I have stated before, I believe in accountability. And I think that's what most people is lacking nowadays. People want to be able to do anything they want regardless of the consequences, by imagining a perfect world of their own. "Things should be like this, things should be like that and etc". That's not how reality operates.

And, well, I'm not really going to give you a lecture of how korean society works when it comes to celebrities scandals and why that happens. Again, the point is: the public's backlash was totally predictable and expected. He was caught. He knew it. He's gonna have to face it.

Strange. Then you should point out where I called Yoo Ah In an addict then. Or at least admit your interpration of what I wrote was incorrect.

If you read my past comments, you'll see I have never said he was an addict. Again, the only thing I said specifically about Yoo Ah In was: he was caught doing something illegal, so he must face the consequences. Period. So don't take words out of my mouth.

The other points I made simply stated why I am against the legalization of the use of marijuana and any other drug for recreation purposes. I think I can't make it any clearer than this.

Judge him? When did I do that? I just stated facts. No matter how pretty your delusions of a perfect world is, there is one thing called reality. The fact is that he knew what doing what he did would do to his career if he was found out and he did it anyway. Now he gotta face the consequences. It's just as simple as that.

I am not korean and it's not up to me to judge their culture. It is what it is. "There's no place for the public bashing him"... Really, you're really delusional. He's a public figure. Of course people are gonna talk about it and have their opinions on the matter... Because, guess what? That's human nature and, again, it is what it is. People just gotta face things and stop whinning.

Regarding the point you tried to make about "harmful cultures", I gotta say, it would do much better for your argument if you were somewhere else advocating in favor of those causes than to want to start by wanting to legalize the korean's right to the use of illegal and potencially harmful substances.

My main point is: people can do anything they want with their lifes. But there's something that comes with every action people take and that's accountability.

And another thing: it's pretty clear to me how naive you are. You've probably never come in contact with an addict. When a person's addicted, it's almost never about just their own health. Unless they have no family, no friends, no one at all in the world that cares about them.

Stop trying to defend him. It doesn't matter what is like in other countries, it's illegal in S. Korea and the actor knew it. So the backlash he's suffering is no surprise. He knew what was at stake and still did it. So let him face the consequences.

"But marijuana is less problematic than alcool and bla bla bla". The truth is, BOTH are problematic. The difference is that the korean drinking habits is already part of their culture. Just because something bad is difficult to eliminate doesn't mean they should let other substances harm their society. Most people that are addicted to drugs started with marijuana and then started taking more addicting ones later. And unfortunately, before anyone comes argue with me, I know exactly what I'm talking about. I live in Brazil and I've already lost people to drugs.
