The First Frost

Bai Jingting's performance in the TV drama Nanhong is simply stunning. With his exceptional looks and physique, he breathes unique life into the character Sang Yan. His appearance alone perfectly matches the character's personality, captivating the audience at first sight and earning a full mark just for his looks.

In the drama, Bai Jingting's precise understanding of the character and meticulous acting design bring out Sang Yan's aloofness and deep affection in a vivid manner. Sang Yan, portrayed by Bai, is a well-off, mature, and steady computer whiz who also runs a trendy bar. His complex and multi-dimensional personality-combining sharp-tongued arrogance with deep-seated kindness and responsibility-is perfectly captured by Bai Jingting. With his deep and magnetic voice, Bai delivers every line with such emotional depth that the audience is fully immersed in the story.

Nanhong tells the story of Sang Yan (played by Bai Jingting) and Wen Yifan, two high school classmates who reunite years later. The drama unfolds as the two start living together by coincidence, with Sang Yan's sincerity and care gradually breaking down Wen Yifan's emotional barriers. They eventually overcome their past traumas to pursue their own happiness.

Not only is the plot of Nanhong full of romance and warmth, but the visual effects also offer the audience a feast for the eyes. The beautiful cinematography and atmospheric settings create a dreamlike fairy-tale world. Bai Jingting's portrayal of Sang Yan, combining ruggedness with delicacy, adds endless charm to the drama and sets a new benchmark for modern urban romance.

Bai Jingting's Sang Yan is more than just a character; he is the epitome of modern urban romance. Every smile and glance is full of storytelling, allowing the audience to feel the power and beauty of love while enjoying the drama. The success of Nanhong lies not only in its captivating plot and stellar cast but also in its redefinition of the standards for Chinese romance dramas.

The best drama I've seen in a long time, I love the whole plot that keeps me captivated in every episode.

Even the second couple is wonderful they also have a lot of chemistry.

The sang have so much love to give and are everything that is right.

I also want to highlight the writer who takes care of all the details especially with the names of the episodes that change from the beginning to the end and I love the little references with hidden love.

I had Hidden Love as my best cdrama, but now I can only say that The First Frost has become my top one.

I don't want to give away too many spoilers, but my most sincere recommendation is that you watch it because every episode is worth it.

I really enjoyed this series. Some aspects of repetition worked well but on the whole I felt there was too much repetition. Too much going back to their school days and reliving the exact same thing over and over.

The love story was very nice, their chemistry was good. But family life was not portrayed in a good light at all. No forgiveness, no real understanding of each other.

One scene annoyed me and didn't seem necessary - when on the same day he was being checked in hospital for a wound and he'd had 8 stitches in his hand - she asked him to carry her and he did so without a problem ... that seemed a bit odd.

On the good side - it was about the possibility of healing and sharing the truth with people around you for support.

Review The First Fros

Adapted from the highly popular novel "The First Frost" this drama is a beautifully produced masterpiece with stunning cinematography and top-notch performances from the two leads, Bai Jing Ting and Zhang Ruo Nan. The atmospheric and emotional OST perfectly complements the mood of the story, enhancing every scene.

Bai Jing Ting and Zhang Ruo Nan truly embody the roles of SangYan and Wen Yi Fan, delivering such natural chemistry that it honestly gives you goosebumps. Their strong CP dynamic brings out the joy, humor and deep emotions of first love, heartbreak and longing. Most importantly, they make you fall in love all over again.

Sure, some people are fussing about the changes from the original novel but honestly? I personally think those adjustments were acceptable to make the storyline flow more smoothly on screen.

Plus, I really loved how they showed Sang Yan and Wen Yi Fan's school days in the beginning. It gives you such a clear picture of why these two can't seem to let go of each other, even years later.

And the epilogue at the end of each episode-told from Sang Yan's point of view is one of my favorite parts. Getting a glimpse into his thoughts makes me love his character even more Haha!

If you're a fan of light romance, this is definitely a must-watch!

Awards winning Director, talented ML Bai Jingting, skillful FL Zhang Ruonan - no irritating baby voice.

Lead is well chosen, both are respected for their great acting. Their on-screen chemistry is already talk of the town.

Cinematography is epic, OST matches the theme. Leads got into the skin of character and delivered. Their intense romance and chemistry is firey. It's not nonsense cringe romance but mature intense meaningful one. I'm thrilled how beautifully it's adapted. As novel reader I give a Thumps Up :) Story is sensible and talks about current social issues. Cronic problem like Sleepwalking is very delicately handled.
