Agree! There was sibling rivalry and bickering, but there was so much love there too. Sang Yan’s parents taught him well and insisted he look after his little sister. Sang Yan became an outstanding young man as a result. When he got a girlfriend (in “First Frost”), he knew how to take care of her very well because he had learned to do so growing up. The skills we learn in our families with our siblings teaches us how to be good to all people, especially our life partner, later on. Really nice themes in both “Hidden Love” and “First Family” novels. The Sang family were good people who produced kind children, Sang Yan and Sang Zhi, who knew how to love well.

YouTube and Instagram as well. They definitely went overboard with the spoilers and BTS. They should have released all that after the drama ends so that we could continue enjoying the drama even after it’s all over.

Probably PG-13 by Western standards. The drama is rated G on Netflix. So, I’m surprised by the kiss we got in episode 21. That’s a PG-13 kiss, in my opinion.

Pretty much, yes. The drama was pretty true to the novel, tweaked a bit here and there. The novel is just more R-rated and explicit.

I’m very picky about my kiss scenes. I dissect and analyze them mercilessly. This ep 21 one was very much up to snuff. I likey. 😍

The novel’s movie scene was waaaay hotter. The drama couldn’t have done it justice. The BTS were pretty funny though.

Been reading the original novel. Soooo good. So moving. So funny. So fire. Hope the drama does it justice as was done with “Hidden Love.”

You didn’t like it?

Man, that kiss scene did not disappoint at all. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🦋🦋🦋🦋

The Qtip up his nose 😂😂

I fell out when Duan Jiaxu threw that SOLID right hook sending Sang Yan flying into the wall. “I don’t know how to fight.”🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sang Zhi is actually really blessed to have a big brother like Sang Yan whose looking out for her, has got her back, and will beat the living daylights out of someone who messes with her. Of course, his fears were misplaced with Duan Jiaxu, but still, the principle of the thing is solid—nobody plays around with my little sister.

The drama rings true because one of my guy friends and his buddies beat the crap out of the man who was beating up his little sister in a domestic violence situation. He and his buddies put that guy in the hospital and never got caught. Some big brothers are like that.

Ok, I mentioned yesterday how I’ve been enjoying “First Frost” which is the story of Sang Yan’s and Wen Yi Fan’s relationship. OMG, sooo good. I think I enjoy it more than Hidden Love though the plot is a bit far-fetched. Sang Yan takes shameless and multiplies it times 10. This boy. SMH. So funny. And little sister Sang Zhi be spilling all the tea about her big brother to Yi Fan. Hilarious.

Our boy wastes no time asking for what he wants as soon as they reach official GF/BF status. Heart-fluttering! The essence of the bedroom scene is very true to the sexy original novel, but still retained a sweetness to it and a believable awkwardness because they are both first-timers in a relationship.

The drama is very sweet.

It’s always been there for me at 5:30 am.

While waiting for episode 17 to drop Monday, I’ve been enjoying Sang Yan’s story about his romance with Wen Yi Fan called “First Frost.” He’s a lot moodier and angsty here, but still pretty funny. He comes off cold, arrogant, and indifferent towards Wen Yi Fan, but he’s good to her on the sly. He’s really, really guarded like he’s treading very carefully. He’s clearly head over heels for her, but she doesn’t realize it. Duan Jiaxu and Sang Zhi are just side characters. Teen Sang Zhi is the cutest and funniest wingman for her big brother. This girl catches on quick, lol.
