Perfect, ultimate comfort drama

This is a must watch if you like healing drama.
The fl and ml did an exceptional job. I love it when the ml is a yeaner, he didn't waver from loving wen yifan. He waited for her( for 8 years) , he fought for her. What a beautiful story. If you like something emotional then this is for you. We'll done to the writer of this story it's beautiful and relatable. People mentioning how the don't like fl for leaving ml for the second time, the reason was valid, she was in danger and the only way to protect herself from a grapist was to leave.

Perfect cast | music | plot

I came across the TTCBZ manhua first, then moved on to the novel when the manhua was still incomplete. After finishing the novel, I discovered that the author had written a separate story for SY, which led me to start reading NH. I completely fell in love with it, more deeply than with TTCBZ. From there, I followed the manhua adaptation as it began, and when HL drama was announced, I couldn’t help but hope that NH would get its own drama adaptation as well.

When the casting for SY was first revealed to be VM, I was honestly a bit skeptical. (I’ve actually been a VM fan since before HL aired.) At first, I couldn’t picture him in NH at all and felt somewhat disappointed, even though in the drama, he perfectly embodied SZ’s annoying older brother. I still couldn’t imagine VM as NH’s SY. Until BJT was confirmed as FF's SY. I was genuinely thankful then.

Both the main leads perfectly captured SY and WYF. I honestly don’t care what others say, BJT is perfect for this role and always will be. And HL’s SY belongs to VM. I simply can’t imagine BJT as the loud, annoying older brother. But in FF, SY feels tailor made for BJT, he is SY.

As for the supporting characters, ZSQ didn’t have much presence in the novel, but I liked her because she always supported WYF. In this adaptation, though, she comes off a bit annoying, even if her intentions are good. The romance between the two supporting leads didn’t exist in the novel, so I’m honestly conflicted about it. The drama focuses on their relationship a little too much, and I don’t think it really helps the main plot.

That said, ZRN’s performance truly stood out to me. This is my first time watching both her and BJT, and her crying scenes felt incredibly natural. Her portrayal of WYF went far beyond how I had imagined the character, I cried so much. BJT also did an amazing job. He absolutely owns the color black! Seriously, how can someone look that handsome? Total boyfriend material. The way he portrayed SY was phenomenal, his calmness, his longing for WYF to turn back and look at him, and his endless patience were all portrayed so beautifully. He understands what WYF is afraid of and is willing to wait for her to open up at her own pace, and I loved that. Their chemistry is incredible.

This is my favorite novel, and I have to say, the drama is even better (minus the second leads popping up every other minute). A solid 10/10.

Terrible

Blinded by the MDL ratings I started watching this series. The female lead is beautiful and can really act, the camera work is very good and all views are very carefully chosen and beautiful, the music is excellent. Everything else is aboelutelly terrible: a male lead looking and behaving like a mid-schooler, fully absence of writing, zero perspecive in direction.
The feeling is of a long MV, very long 32 times 45 minutes?! Please give me the invested time back!
Anyway, it's my fault to le tme guided by random ratings and fan reviews...

ONE OF THE BEST 2025 C-DRAMAS!

Mark my words. This drama is a masterpiece, everything is portrayed very beautifully, to anyone who’s starting now, GO WATCH IT and do not WASTE TIME. From the production to the actors, 10/10. Also the OST!!!! Oh my god. Thank god episodes are coming out every day because I couldn’t bear the thought of waiting that much.
Last thing, prepare your tissues, because you will cry a lot.

Second episode

The moment she tells him he might get tetanus just for little bruises made me laugh. You get tetanus through animal farm manure.
No roses, no rusty nail, not because someone punched you in the face.
Other than that, it's a nice story.
I wish her friend didn't have that voice. So annoying.
I don't fancy the male actor though.

drama really pulls at your emotions

I started watching The First Frost from the very first episode, and I have to say, this drama really pulls at your emotions. It has everything… beautiful moments that make you smile, and scenes that will make you so mad, you can’t even process it. The intense emotional moments really keep you hooked.

What really stands out is how mature and realistic the main leads are. Their performances feel so genuine, and the chemistry they share is amazing. While it may not be exactly like Hidden Love, The First Frost has its own special magic. It has a way of drawing you in and making you feel everything the characters are going through. The way it handles emotions and relationships makes it such an unforgettable drama.

Simplesmente cativante

Primeiro, vamos começar dizendo o quanto eu esperei por esse drama?
Na época que Hidden Love foi lançado, eu não conhecia as novels, mas devorei a novel de Hidden Love e logo em seguida li a novel de "Hard to Coax", que é a novel que deu origem a esse drama. E eu fui completamente capturada por Sang Yan e Wen Yi Fan, aguardei ansiosamente o anúncio do elenco, vi os reuters das gravações pelo Weibo e contei os dias até o drama sair.

The First Frost entrou, sem sombra de dúvidas, no meu TOP 5 de dramas favoritos. A fotografia do drama me deixou obcecada desde o primeiro episódio, e amei como eles fizeram tal qual a novel, com flashbacks e tempo atual, seguindo a cronologia certinha.
Muita gente reclamou quando saiu o elenco, pois não gostou da troca de atores, nem gostaram da seleção da atriz, mas por ter lido a novel, eu percebi como esses atores seriam perfeitos.
Bai Jing Ting como Sang Yan trouxe toda a profundidade que o personagem precisava, enquanto Zhang Ruo Nan deu o nome como Wen Yi Fan, para contrariar todo mundo que fala mal da atuação dela. Eles brilharam !

A história seguiu um bom ritmo, sem apressar nada, fazendo todas as peças se encaixarem e, aos poucos, WYF ir se abrindo mais com SY e com seus amigos. SY também obtendo as respostas que ele sempre quis e nunca teve, e entendendo todos os motivos da WYF, e sendo o apoio dela sempre.

Assistam sem medo, o final é lindo e feliz!

Un amor lleno de realidad

Pase momentos de dulzura y ñoñería con Amor Oculto, pero este drama me ha sorprendido y para bien, esperaba algo muy dulce y contado por un príncipe en vez de una princesita, nos encontramos con un amor lleno de dolor, como las parejas reales hay días buenos y muy malos, toca temas profundos y las actuaciones son impresionantes y eso que este actor es muy joven aún, me dejó con la boca abierta varias veces, con lo fácil que trasmite sus sentimientos. Me encanta ese punto pícaro y bufón que le da profundidad a su personaje. La banda sonora es perfecta. Llevo tiempo sin ver un drama tan bueno en actuación y trama. Ojalá llegue muy alto en la lista de puntuación porque se lo merece.

okay

como podem comparar hidden love com isso vey e ainda falar que é MELHOR. tipo n é horrível mas além de ter episódios dms é tudo taoooo arrastado q fica tão chato de assistir é a sensação de q nd acontece, além do plot ser falta de comunicação coisa q se eles sentassem pra conversar n duraria 10 episódios. ainda coragem falar q o sang Yan é melhor q o prota de hidden love, tem nem comparações. eu não gostei e sinceramente faltei pouco pra largar. e outra q mudaram a personalidade do sang yan inteira fiquei pasmaaa, pq só n fazer uma outra história com outro personagem pra q um spin off, q n tem participações especiais e q muda a personalidade do prota?

Una storia carina ma poco avvincente e facile preda della noia...

Sarò una voce fuori dal coro... Pazienza. Il mondo è bello perchè è vario.
La stessa cosa mi era successa anche con il drama ad esso collegato, Hidden Love. Anche lì, a fronte di tanti pareri entusiasti io davvero faticavo a capire come mai non mi piacesse (o per meglio dire faticavo a capire cosa dovesse piacermi).
Il timore di rivivere l'esperienza c'era, la speranza di ricredermi anche.
E invece mi ritrovo a racimolare con fatica belle parole per una serie che mi ha annoiata a dismisura.
Per assurdo, amo i romance un po' drammatici e onestamente non posso dire che non ci sia una storia sulla quale si è anche investito in termini di trama e tematiche affrontate.
Ma mi ha lasciata comunque del tutto indifferente. Non lo so, fin dal primo episodio ho avvertito una sorta di lentezza intrinseca, molte scene non incisive e nemmeno capaci di dare una leggera piacevolezza. C'era solo l'impazienza di arrivare a un dunque più accattivante che però non arrivava mai (e non parlo di scene d'amore o che, ma proprio di momenti emozionanti, anche banali nel contenuto ma capaci di far tenere gli occhi incollati allo schermo).
Non mi sono incantata davanti alla prova recitativa degli attori, lui in modo particolare mi ha trasmesso ben poco. Ho trascorso tutti gli episodi così, alle prese con una minestra tiepida che ogni tanto provava a riscaldarsi senza successo.
Troppo lento, troppo banalmente tenue anche dove non doveva esserlo, rendendo alcuni passaggi davvero esili in termini di sostanza e di carattere. La storia può anche essere graziosa sulla carta, ma non c'è una spina dorsale a tenerla su.
Mi stupisco sempre di come la Cina sappia promuovere drama simili nella tipologia, a volte anche non lontani nelle trame e nelle strutture narrative, ma con un divario impressionante in termini di risultato, dove la maggior parte si rivelano flosci e fiacchi e vanno presto alla deriva mentre alcuni - una minor parte - diventano delle vere e proprie perle rare meritevoli di svariati rewatch. Un vero e proprio mistero.
Credo però possa piacere a chi ha apprezzato il drama Hidden Love (incentrato su un altro pairing ma frutto sempre di un adattamento della stessa autrice). Personalmente, invece, faticherò a ricordarlo.
