my advice is to just watch a few episodes and decide for yourself. don't force yourself to watch something you are not enjoying. As for the mood goes, The Best Thing is more fluffy while The First Frost goes pretty dark.

The pace does pick up later. After the story gets to the first/second episode timeline in ep23 it got better for me.

I started this drama 2 years ago and dropped it at ep 6. I remembered that I was kind of put off by how much of a jerk the ML is. I decided to pick this drama up trying to move on from The First Frost and I much say this drama gets better after ep 10 or so when the chemistry between the leads starts to heat up and keeps getting better. I love Zhu Yun's character where she is the green forest. Heard that people describe her as the knight in shining armor who will always support the ML. As for Lu Xun, he's jerk attitude really put me off in the earlier episodes but I can see why he acts like that due to his trauma explained in later episodes. The chemistry between the leads really start to shine though in the second half of the drama and there are many sweet moments. This show did a good job showing the FL's mood difference when she is with the Lu Xun as compared to Tian Xiu Zhu. The FL lead is happier with Lu Xun eating instant noodles and sleeping in a makeshift bed in the office compared with eating luxury meals and sleeping in luxury apartments with Tian Xiu Zhu. She even went against her mother to be with the ML and I was genuinely so happy when they got together again. So glad I picked this drama up again. 10/10

college in china is not expensive. plus Yifan's a good student and probably have scholarship.

I am watching Lighter and Princess and as I am watching L&P, I keep thinking about the similarities with TFF except the roles are switched. In L&P, the FL is the green forest and the ML is the traumatized one who keeps pushing the FL away because he thinks she deserves better.

Honestly, I don't get why people are comparing TFF and TBT. The dramas are very different.

I commented on TBT couple weeks ago and said the doctor patient relationship was putting me off. did not mention anything about TFF, and someone replied to my comment dissing TFF. I was pretty shocked. Those people are crazy.

nope, I rewatched 3 times. loved it.

you might get more confused if you watch Hidden Love first because the timelines don't match up. Hidden Love changed some of the original novel's timelines.

get together in ep 18. haven't watched past that but since in the first ep ML just got out of jail and FL is about to marry someone else, there is definitely a break up later. So far to ep 18 I haven't seen any annoying love triangles. But that might change later with FL's fiance.

This drama grows on you. first two ep was pretty good, but i wasn't feeling eps 7-8 eps after that. Now I'm on ep 16 and starting to get invested.

age difference played a big role.

during a live stream the assistant director said the whole ending proposal scene was unscripted. The lines, the tears, the kiss, all came organically from BJT and ZRN. Also happened to be one of the most emotional proposal scenes i've ever seen.

first episode got my attention, but the college drama that followed doesn't seems like my style. How long before it gets back to the first episode timeline?

He also mentioned about wanting to cast BJT and ZRN again. Maybe for a movie.

did they even kiss by ep 20 yet? i remember it was later

For me the chemistry was not about the dialog. They don't have much dialog between the leads to begin with. I'm really impressed with the body language and facial expressions both leads use to express emotions. It feels so genuine.

they added a grandparents arc and hong kong arc to the drama. also made the intern way more annoying.

After investigation, she wasn't found to be at fault. Deng Lun and Yuan BingYan, on the other hand, has admitted guilt. I hope Deng Lun can return as well, I really like him.

ya I don't get how some people are still saying BJT is expressionless.
