they haven't released it yet, I think they will do so by today

also...nice to see you are watching this too 🤗

the way Sang Yan is so supportive of Wen Yifan that he seemed more nervous about her ballet examination compared to her.

they haven't released it yet

me too, I am looking forward to it!

for real! his actions speaks so much about his love for her but he has never bragged about it and instead cares for her silently

right! he is obviously willing to love her because he wants to, some people don't get this as well.

I am actually annoyed and bothered by his actions as well. I find him going too far considering he is barely even a friend she has known for years and is merely just her junior. He is way out of line.

it's you and me again, we always end up having to defend our FLs 😭 they hate on them a lot these days sighs

Exactly. I also think Sang Yan is not the type of person who gives love just so he could get loved back.

ikr but it's frustrating to see how some belittle all those hardships and pain she has been through just because she hasn't opened her heart out to the ML yet.

since Netflix is one episode behind, maybe you might get it by tomorrow? hope you do get to be able to watch it!

I don't know about Netflix's schedule for this drama because I only follow Youku's one which I am subscribed to.

because they are prioritizing the original source platform of this drama which is Youku, for more specific reason it's a marketing strategy so that Youku can get more profits and credit knowing how popular the past drama adaptation HL from the same author had gotten before, so they made Netflix secondary.

I think you are holding cnetz a little too much on such high regard. 'Fair' doesn't exist even for them. If you dive deeper you'd eventually know what waterarmies are and there are a lot more worst truths you have no idea of, so the word 'fair criticism' is false.

ngl too but unempathetic and insensitive people irritates me as well

I think most or some people truly never tried to put themselves in Wen Yi Fan's point of view and understand why she is currently the way she is. Although I have not read the novel but having grasped all current aired episodes, in my opinion 'First Frost' leans to a much more mature type of romance. Although they do show us flashbacks of their high school scenes, this drama isn't meant to entirely be a youthful love. Wen Yi Fan the female lead suffers traumatic experiences throughout almost all her life ever since the lost of her father, she was treated coldly and devoid of love at such a young age with barely anyone to lean on.

The last person whom she wanted to resort to was her mother but she got ditched out and was left to the awful relatives that mistreated her. She experienced a lot of terrible things growing up, those things that happened to her left a scar in her heart and mind that never healed, she carried it until her adulthood hence she grew into the woman she is now...and the most important thing to know is that it wasn't only love that she lost but it was also herself. There were many notable scenes during earlier episodes which shows and hints to Wen Yi Fan's current state of mind. She is too scarred to think about what is best for her right now as she never really found closure to everything that had happened to her in the past nor did she ever get to heal and soothe her pain. All she ever did was survive each day, get through it by wearing a facade. It's actually not hard to pay attention and notice these details about her, if you care to put yourself in her shoes, like try to understand her character. People like her who lost herself after having faced the cruel world takes a lot of time before they can be able to step up and open their hearts again to the world.

Also, there were certain scenes that hints about Wen Yi Fan's feelings towards Sang Yan. If you paid close enough attention, then you'd know she is interested in him however she doesn't realize it herself yet and she still thinks she is undeserving of all the good and best things.

I suggest you do give this one a try regardless of what reason you want to start this. Try first five episodes. Just note that this is a new type of xianxia, well new in a sense that for once the main leads didn't have to go through the arduous torture of constant misunderstandings but rather were established to have a healthy relationship. Another thing is that this is more female-centric.

I haven't read the novel but base from the drama, the time sets in a much earlier period. To put it simply it happens around the time when Sang Zhi is in her youth and is still admiring Duan Jia Xu.

yes, he was the same director for a hit drama before titled 'it started with a kiss'

I can't believe this drama will finally be airing after the long wait, now in just 2 more days to go. I am ready to sacrifice my sleep for this. My much anticipated drama of Zhang Ling He for this year because he is playing the doctor role.
