LayarHijau.com—The new drama "The First Frost," starring Bai Jingting and Zhang Ruonan, has solidified its position as one of the top three dramas in popularity rankings in China. In Taiwan, "The First Frost" continues to hold the number one spot on Netflix.
Recently, the drama aired its final episode for VIP users on Youku. Several iconic kissing scenes featured in the last episodes include the bathroom kiss, nougat kiss, ballet kiss, kiss in Sang Yan's bedroom, and the proposal kiss. Wen Yifan (played by Zhang Ruonan) cuts ties with her mother, and the villain Che Xingde (played by Li Hongchen), who has harassed her for years, is finally caught by the law, marking a perfect ending.
Additionally, in one scene, Sang Yan (played by Bai Jingting) praises Wen Yifan as the most beautiful woman he has ever met, and Wen Yifan reciprocates by giving Sang Yan cherries.
The production team recently released behind-the-scenes footage, showing that during one scene, Zhang Ruonan wanted to feed Bai Jingting sun cakes, to which Bai Jingting replied that they are called "wife cakes," adding that "wife cakes should be eaten by wives." This statement immediately made Zhang Ruonan feel shy and blush.
In episode 28 of "The First Frost," Sang Yan personally confronts Che Xingde, who has constantly harassed his girlfriend Wen Yifan and has a history of rape and murder.
Sang Yan angrily punches Che Xingde, but he gets stabbed by a knife hidden by Che Xingde. Fortunately, he is not seriously injured after being taken to the hospital, and Che Xingde is apprehended by the police. Wen Yifan is angry and hurt because Sang Yan attacked Che Xingde first, leaving her distressed.
The two have their first big argument in the hospital but reconcile before heading home. In episode 29, Wen Yifan voluntarily offers to help Sang Yan take a bath. Sang Yan takes off his shirt, revealing his muscular physique.
As Wen Yifan washes her boyfriend's body, he asks her to lift her head. The two share a kiss in the bathroom, and the scene is filled with sexual tension.
In the remaining episodes 29 to 32, there are several key moments and iconic kisses, including the nougat kiss, ballet kiss, kiss in Sang Yan's bedroom, and the proposal kiss. Sang Yan brings Wen Yifan to meet his parents and Sang Zhi at his family home.
This is the first time Sang Yan officially introduces Wen Yifan as his girlfriend. Wen Yifan sees that Sang Yan's family is filled with warmth and love, which moves her deeply. Sang Yan's parents also reveal that they remember Wen Yifan from when they first met her in high school.
While preparing to move into their new home, Wen Yifan discovers a secret box belonging to Sang Yan. When she opens it, she finds a photo of herself from graduation and many transportation tickets that Sang Yan used to travel from Nanwu to Yihe. This reminds her of seeing Sang Yan at her graduation ceremony. Additionally, she finds newspaper clippings she wrote during her internship in Yihe.
This makes her realize that during college, Sang Yan often visited her in Yihe secretly, even when Wen Yifan harshly asked him not to come again. With tears in her eyes, Wen Yifan discusses this with Sang Yan. This scene showcases Sang Yan's dedication to keeping his promise to always be there for Wen Yifan, even if he did it quietly.
Finally, Sang Yan and Wen Yifan move into a new home designed by Sang Yan. At the high school reunion, he wears his school uniform, pulls out a ring and flowers, and proposes to Wen Yifan. It feels as if they have returned to their school days when they first fell in love, and both shed tears. Meanwhile, Wen Yifan also decides to cut ties with her selfish mother, escaping from her broken family and starting anew.
This happy ending leaves a sweet feeling in the hearts of viewers after several episodes of emotional turmoil watching the couple's separation. Amidst the drama's sorrowful atmosphere, this ending successfully provides satisfaction to the audience.
Recently, the production team released behind-the-scenes footage of Bai Jingting's impromptu performance in a scene that was later cut, according to Upmedia. It turns out that after Zhang Ruonan fed Bai Jingting cherries, he laughed and said that ordinary people call cherries "车厘子" (chē lí zǐ).
Zhang Ruonan asked in confusion, "Don't ordinary people call them cherries?" Bai Jingting replied, "Fairies call them cherries!" At that moment, Zhang Ruonan quickly switched to feeding sun cakes to change the subject.
As a result, Bai Jingting claimed that what Zhang Ruonan had was called "wife cake." Zhang Ruonan said, "Try this again." Bai Jingting teased again, "Wife cakes should be eaten by wives!" He directly teased Zhang Ruonan until she felt shy. This ambiguous and sweet conversation showcases Bai Jingting's charm and ability to flirt, making their chemistry light-hearted and endearing.
