The First Frost

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.

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.

Actually i never comment or give reviews on any drama. But this drama is exceptional. It has compelled me to give a review as it was too good. Honestly speaking i think i have almost seen all the standard modern cdrama. 'The first frost ' is definitely the best among them. I m really surprised by the writer Zhu yi. She knows what we want. She depicts that a love story can be this beautiful also. The character Sang Yan is undoubtedly every girls ideal type. This drama was so excellent with every emotions. The actors were perfect for this drama. I don't think anybody could play these roles better other than them. So it's highly recommended. Thank you so much for this great experience after a long while. Sang Yan the man you are.

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.

I have all praises for this incredible adaptation of the renowned novel. The leads chemistry is electrifying. This story is not your sugary rosy cliche kisses and hugs romantic story. It covers some serious topics like workplace abuse, domestic violence, toxic parenting and S. A. Its story of courage healing confidence and trust. Its slow burn romance.

Veteran award winning Director, awesome screenplay, adaptation is peak true to the novel, cinematography is classy.

OST theme is true to the intense mature understand relationship of the ML & FL. Songs sung by popular artists.

Casting is epic, picture perfect from drawing and Manga. Both the artists are true to their skills, professional and talented. They got the depth of the character. Overall I'm highly impressed.
