Agreed ZLH peaked with his aura in this drama. Truly his most memorable yet. I'm also sat for future Deng Kai and Snow Kong...someone pls cast them in another drama, either historical or modern would do. I just want to see more of them. Deng Kai especially deserves more historical or fantasy dramas as ML, how he rocked his white hair as a possessive nutso was so good here 👌

It's a drama, it's not going to be highly realistic in the first place especially with such major fight scenes. If we went by this then FL should have just died on day 1 of the war. Instead we are supposed to assume the FL does well because she is an exceptionally good fighter even if she had no war experience before. She was taught to fight by her father who was a strong fighter himself, and he had also taught Changyu techniques he learnt from General He. The ML is also a general because that's what the plot requires, after his father died he inherited being one of the most powerful men in the land as a Marquis and head of an army.

MDL isn't meant to be accurate as a whole, it only gives the popular international rating. Many have rated this highly hence a rating over 9.

Pine Minister Wei Yan is the ML's maternal Uncle who is evil. That's why he and ML do not get along. Wei Xuan is the Uncle's son and also ML's cousin. Wei Xuan isn't evil, his character just wants love from his father.

As someone else said you might want to look up a relationship diagram. There may be some on reddit or tumblr somewhere.

I think a 9 - 9.1 rating is perfect. It has very good pacing, an easy storyline to follow once you focus on it, interesting characters all around, and definitely amazing chemistry and aura between both couples! If it dragged or had things lacking, I would have fairly put it in the 8 range.

Really? I've always thought she is very recognisable and she looks like she does back from Mr Queen. I think she has lost weight but nothing so drastic to say she looks different.

Also no need to insult others who disagree with you

Yeah I also find it fascinating that people keep justifying this as if there's nothing wrong with a literal minor being a lead in a romance drama with an adult a lot older than her. How many would let their child, whether boy or girl, do the same at 16-17?

It's not about mental age - you seem to be missing the entire point. Anyone could say that even a 15 year old has mental age of 18 year old. The difference is under 18 they are still a MINOR under the LAW even in China. That's what the other user had been repeatedly saying too. **Once a minor crosses 18 they are legally classed as adults and then they have full right to choose.**

Oh SHIT I didn't realise that 😩 2005 feels too young even for me (2000) it's weird seeing these actors getting younger and younger but still drooling over them

This mindset is how kids get taken advantage of unfortunately. Just because the parents are not guiding her properly and the agent is pushing her into adult roles, doesn't mean it's right and that we as an audience shouldn't care.

I think just an okay drama. Not terrible, but I did take a few breaks inbetween. A good concept but maybe just my type of drama or tropes?The timeline really messed with me because it took me a long time to understand that the young boy in 'Zhang San's diary' was the ML/ our Emperor. Even when I suspected he was, they uses the *same child actor* as the son of Xiahou Dan. It also didn't help that the Queen Dowager looked exactly the same both in ML's childhood and then in the current timeline with the same child actor 15+ years later. I know they wanted to create some mystery, but it confused me rather than making me more invested in the drama.

no one would care about the age gap in Western dramas because the younger person isn't a minor. Not only a kiss is indecent BTW, you can do a lot of things for the romance

it's because she was literally underaged when they filmed for this drama 💀
no one minds an age gap but not when the actress is literally a minor teenager. Poor HMG also signed this drama before she was cast.

one of my all time fluffy comfort shows. I have to watch this atleast twice a year ❤️

why the tag for real life age gap? She's 44 and he's 47, that's less than 3 years and a very normal one. I would consider it an age gap if Hye Kyo and Gong Yoo had more years inbetween them.

anyway 22 episodes 😵 this is going to be a long drama!!!

to be precise - he liked her from before, so the romance angle was there for a lot longer. It's just they don't get together until Ep 30 something.

finished this recently, and I get what people meant when they said "ABSOLUTE CINEMA." This has to be one of the better Cdramas

it's not based around the main characters in Hidden Love it's just written by the same author and sort of set in the same universe. But it really has nothing to do with HL and The First Frost, just like how WIFTY is not really connected either.

I disagree with this because he would have clearly gone abroad if it wasn't for their relationship. He even looked excited at first when the professor advised it to him, and he WAS ready to go along to the US with her! This is the thing with this ML, he had an unhealthy need to always be with her at the expense of his own life opportunities. And I could see how that made FL feel suffocated because it was turning into a burden that all his 'decisions' centered around her.

i totally get that 😭

and "NOW THE MOON IS YOURS" ❤️
