KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK que isso gente

EXACTLY! I’ve tried watching The First Frost a few times, but I’ve already gotten so many spoilers that it lost its charm. But broadly speaking, from what I saw, it’s just another entry in the saga of the female character who suffers immensely emotionally (or physically, as is the case here), and a man is responsible for taking her in, being her refuge, her only form of security—as if she hadn't been self-sufficient during all the years she wasn't with him. As if relief could only be felt once he enters her life again. I find this extremely problematic: wanting to take a problem caused by a man and have it resolved by another man just to force a romantic connection, while completely disregarding the protagonist's choices. Honestly, I don't see Sang Yan as male supremacy at all. From what I remember (I watched up to episode 9) we already knew he never stopped loving her. So when he suggests that she move into the same house as him, given all their history, you could even view it as a form of revenge. She was clearly uncomfortable with the situation and only stayed because it was slightly less uncomfortable than the other circumstances she faced before arriving there.
In a way, this doesn't feel strange to most viewers because they know Sang Yan's true intentions, but this would never be interpreted as romantic in real life. It honestly gets depressing because I really enjoy watching C-dramas, but when I notice this kind of thing, I have to step back and question if what I'm consuming aligns with what makes sense to me. Unfortunately, I've been noticing more and more how toxic the C-drama industry can be, intentionally manipulating fans into thinking the exact way they want us to think.

Yes, I see. This stance they adopted in the novel is very inconsistent. Since I only recently started reading it, the protagonist's mannerisms of being independent and treating all men coldly are present in the text, and suddenly, because of a sexist and outdated plot, overnight she becomes dependent on men? That's really hard to swallow. It's a shame, because they're going to waste the time of two great acting stars, Anyu and Ruonan. Honestly, as you said, a tremendous lack of respect for the actors and the fans. Do you have any dramas to recommend that aren't toxic at this level? I would appreciate it if you could recommend some! Thank you for your reply!

Thank you for your reply! I understood your reasoning. I had started the novel and stopped at chapter 2, then I researched other people's opinions and found yours, as well as many others, but I found yours the most interesting. I'll continue reading to draw my own conclusions about the novel. Thank you very much for your reply.

So you consider that the novel is good, but the adaptation process means that the final product was bad? Is that so? I understand you, but here it is not a quick way to judge something solo because the production was not satisfactory and is resulting in toxicity? But I liked your analysis; the points you touched on were very interesting. How do you do these types of analyses?

rumors have been circulating

You want to see a revenge drama where you take justice into your own hands and you're expecting that from this? Hahaha, simply not. He's a justice officer; you can't just go around killing everyone with your bare hands. That's why he's good; he doesn't stoop to the level of those people who committed those atrocities.

Precisely for that reason, because she was the only one who believed in him, he should have been very grateful to her and not thrown a tantrum when he found out she was a fan of his. The guy almost destroyed her house because of photos and accessories she had of his group. A very disproportionate reaction. I understand that he was sad because of the grief, suspicious of everything and everyone, but this type of reaction is unacceptable for any kind of person. If there wasn't a flimsy context to explain why he did it, imagine someone commenting: "He's a 10, but when he found out she was a fan of his, while she was out of the house, in her house where she was living for FREE, he basically tore up and destroyed several things about him and personal things she had." Looking at it that way, he doesn't seem like a 10 to me.

In my opinion, they could have just remained friends; that would have been enough for me. Just because it's a drama without a specifically defined mystery/crime tag doesn't mean romance needs to be there. We need to learn to value friendships between protagonists, not just romance. Besides, the two have absolutely no chemistry; there's more chemistry in geography class than in this "couple" of friends. I also didn't like the way the romance was introduced.

I also didn't like the way the romance was introduced. the damn thing with the two semi-straight lines going in convergence (aka love triangle) was also a pain in the ass for me. So I think that's it, the least they can give us from a drama that calls itself a romance is CHEMISTRY, which is lacking here. Another thing that annoyed me was the fact that he got mad at her for a stupid reason, just because she didn't tell him she was a fan of his. Man, she was within her rights, he was paying her a pittance to defend his case, living in her house for free, AND HE STILL HAS THE NERVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE GIRL? Man, as people say nowadays, VERY RED FLAG.

BROOO the ml looks so much like Yang Yang

Maybe it's because of the age difference, right? He and FL are the same age, I think, although she's much more mature than him. I find him quite annoying sometimes and I force myself to skip scenes with him.

Why don't I see anyone talking about this drama?

Exactly, that's the point many don't understand. If you want to watch a romance drama, search for romance dramas. ZZA itself isn't in that category, but rather in mystery/wuxia. As you said, people who truly enjoy this genre, a classic wuxia but adapted, will really appreciate this work, which so far is very good. I saw other comments complaining about the acting, GUYS?! Nothing is good enough for you? I think the real point is that these people like to criticize.

Really, the best thing to do is let it go, as ZZ himself said, with a slight alteration: "if you've already jumped to conclusions before knowing my story, I have nothing to say." We should let people see for themselves what they've missed, and unfortunately, most aren't giving the show a chance simply because romance isn't the central theme, but rather a possible consequence of the characters' story. Perhaps it's this majority that's "boycotting" the reviews here.

You're welcome! Someone has to have the courage to state the obvious! I even thought about replying to this particular review, but I ended up letting it go.

YES! and it's something like, dude I don't like how an officer who is supposedly incorruptible is following the law in a totally incorruptible way lol

That's the point; there are still laws for the officials themselves. In the Song Dynasty, which is the era in which the drama takes place, officials and judges were strictly forbidden from killing and judging cases as capital punishment. ZZ himself says this in the drama. For the death penalty to occur, the case must be taken to the capital's prefecture to the EMPEROR, who has the authority to decide who lives and who dies. In other words, even though he is mistreated in every way, he strictly follows the law and doesn't allow it no loopholes for his enemies to use against him; that's what it means to be an incorruptible officer, that's what it means to follow the principles he himself holds.

YES! Finally someone talking about this! The guy is a court officer, not a god.

bro her is just like superman and Clark Kent

I am disappointed by the way ordinary people, who have never held positions of extreme importance, such as judges and court officers, tend to see ZZ's thinking as moralistic or something like that. How do you ordinary people think a justice officer should act? By killing everyone? No matter how heinous the crime, there are still laws. I saw people commenting that he shouldn't have protected the guy who...He kidnapped women to take to the pavilion, but man, that was his job, to gather evidence, and the bastard in question was proof that the definition of JUSTICE is truly fulfilled. That's it.The goal of the drama. If you don't like how real and effective justice handles cases, you shouldn't be watching dramas about justice, but rather about vigilantes. If that's the case, there's a drama for you.Very good, with an actor who looks a lot like Yang Yang, he's Taiwanese, and his name is Had I Not See the Sun.
