SO SO SO UNDERRATED!!!!!! EXCELLENT ACTING
DON'T TRUST THE RATINGS!!!After so long I've come across such a nice drama, really ♥️ It's so fresh and peaceful and sweet and funny at the same time.
The leads are amazing, the second leads are amazing and the whole group is amazing.
The drama so much reminds me of When I Fly Towards You and Our Secret ♥️♥️
I initially started watching it because of Yu Cheng En as I previously watched him as Demo in Go Go Squid, I was so excited to see him in a lead role!!!! And surprisingly I fell in love with the female lead too ♥️ Even the other lead is amazing ♥️♥️
IT'S A MUST WATCH!!!!! IT LITERALLY DESERVES MUCH MORE RECOGNITION 😭

No words to describe except PERFECT, a must watch ❤️❤️"Flourished Peony" is an absolute gem, seamlessly weaving a perfect storyline with outstanding performances by its cast. From the very first episode, it captivates viewers with its rich narrative that balances emotions, humor, and romance with remarkable finesse. It’s a drama that invites you into its world and leaves you eagerly anticipating the next episode.
The chemistry between the main leads is nothing short of magical. Their connection feels genuine and heartfelt, drawing viewers into their journey ❤️ Their nuanced performances bring the characters to life, making their emotions palpable and their interactions utterly engaging. The fact that the protagonists share a history of working together in "Go Go Squid" and are real-life classmates adds an authentic layer to their on-screen partnership 🥹❤️
Beyond the leads, the supporting cast delivers stellar performances that enhance the drama’s depth and charm. Each actor, whether portraying a supportive friend, a comedic sidekick, or a menacing villain, contributes meaningfully to the storyline. The villainous characters, in particular, are portrayed with a complexity that makes them compelling rather than one-dimensional. These layers elevate the narrative, keeping viewers emotionally invested in the outcomes of every subplot 🫶🏻
One of the drama's most remarkable aspects is its ability to evoke a spectrum of emotions. The romantic moments are tender and heartwarming, filled with sincerity and passion that make you root for the characters. The humorous scenes provide a much-needed balance, offering lighthearted relief that complements the drama’s emotional intensity. And when the story dives into its more emotional beats, it does so with authenticity and depth, tugging at the heartstrings without feeling forced or contrived.
"Flourished Peony" also stands out for its impeccable production values. The settings are visually stunning, with every scene crafted to enhance the storytelling. The dialogue is sharp and meaningful, blending wit, wisdom, and heartfelt emotions seamlessly. The pacing of the story is another highlight, as it allows each relationship and plot point to develop naturally, ensuring a satisfying viewing experience.
In just 10 episodes, this drama has proven to be an exceptional blend of talent, storytelling, and emotion. The protagonists' shared history as university classmates and former co-stars adds a layer of intrigue, further enhancing their on-screen rapport!! It’s evident that every element of this drama has been thoughtfully executed, resulting in a show that feels both timeless and fresh.
"Flourished Peony" is more than just a drama; it’s an experience that stays with you long after the credits roll. For fans of romance, humor, and emotionally rich storytelling, this is a must-watch. It’s a testament to the power of exceptional writing, brilliant performances, and the magic that unfolds when everything comes together perfectly.
DO WATCH IT!!!

THE BEST DRAMA I'VE EVER WATCHED!!!!
There's not even one thing that I dislike about it.IT'S LITERALLY THAT PERFECT 😭♥️
Anybody reading this, I swear you're gonna love it 😭
And honestly, I think it was better than Hidden Love. Athough I stopped watching it long time back (because it wasn't that addicting or eye catching) but yeah The First Frost was definitely A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭🥹🥹♥️♥️
If we say according to MDL, then it at least deserves a 9.2 rating!!!
The actors were FANTASTIC, the script was mind-blowing, and the way of filming was just wowww and and and not forgetting the BEST OST IN HISTORY oh my god 😭😭🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️♥️♥️

WATCHED IT JUST BECAUSE OF HAN SHANGYAN AND TONG NIAN
I literally skipped scenes and episodes just to watch them.I had it on my on hold list for so long because I just couldn't get myself to watch it. Then last year I opened it again and tried to watch but it didn't give that vibe. Several actors were changed which really killed that particular vibe, the main game on which S1 was based CTF, was changed, the set was changed and so many other things.
The whole Solo Team, Solo, Appledog, Xiaomi, All, they all obviously were older and were perfectly portrayed in S1. But it was literally the opposite here, all of them looked so young. Ok I get it, you changed Appledog but what about the others. S1 had it's own feeling of friendship and camaraderie. The characters really were so close to each other, they understood and supported each other all through their ups and downs but here? duh. I don't know about the leads but the friends had absolutely no chemistry.
Grunt as if had a complete change of character (not just the actor). I don't know why he kinda was like competitive at the start and even called Han Shangyan by his name instead of 'boss'. He was younger obviously in the first season and in this one, it was as if he was older.
I eventually dropped it by just and just watching Han Shangyan, Tong Nian and their related scenes. They were the reason I gave it even a '8.5' or otherwise it was really boring, killed the vibe.
