Spoilers Ahead! Even though fans were manifesting Sang Yan and Wen Yifan's dating era, they were so not ready for the chemistry that the lead pair, played by Bai Jingting and Zhang Ruonan, has showcased in the recent episodes of The First Frost. The new series, a spin-off of the wildly popular C-Drama Hidden Love, has kept fans hooked since its premiere last month, and with new episodes releasing every day, the show has been aptly balancing between teasing and treating fans' cravings.

The First Frost recap: What's happened so far?

After years of longing, Sang Yan (Bai Jingting) and Wen Yifan (Zhang Ruonan) finally confessed their romantic feelings to each other. The high school sweethearts were forced apart when Yifan's life fell apart after her father's death. Despite Sang Yan's best efforts, he couldn't save Yifan from her struggles. Fearing she'd lose him too, Yifan made the painful decision to leave Sang Yan and break their promise to attend college together.

Years later, Yifan moved to the same city as Sang Yan after a workplace tragedy. They unexpectedly met again at his bar, where Sang Yan initially pretended not to recognize her. However, his feelings still ran deep. When fate brought them together again, forcing them to share a house, Sang Yan found ways to comfort Yifan, who was still reeling from her past.

As Yifan slowly opened up, she realized she felt at ease with Sang Yan, despite struggling with physical touch and human connections. When she finally decided to pursue him, Sang Yan didn't hesitate. The duo was finally together, and Yifan began to share her troubled past and family struggles. Sang Yan offered comfort and reassurance, making their love story a poignant watch.
