First Frost, episode 30: All about the grand conclusion to the Chinese hit show

Alright, The First Frost fans, the moment has arrived! Sang Yan and Wen Yifan’s love story is wrapping up this week, and if you’re feeling a little emo about it, you’re not alone. This Hidden Love spin-off—based on Zhu Yi’s novel—shifts the focus to Sang Yan, played by Bai Jingting (replacing Victor Ma from Hidden Love), while Zhang Ruonan steps in as Wen Yifan.

With The First Frost breaking viewership records worldwide, the creators have decided to drop a little surprise. If you can’t wait to see how it all ends, Youku is offering an Express Package for early access to episodes 30-33.

This drama has kept fans hooked with its mix of romance, heartbreak, and sizzling chemistry. While Hidden Love was all about Sang Zhi (played by Zhao Lusi), The First Frost shifts gears to her older brother, giving us another dose of drama and feels.

This Chinese romantic drama is a spin-off of Hidden Love, focusing on Sang Yan—Sang Zhi’s older brother—who finally gets his time in the spotlight. While Hidden Love gave us the sweet and angsty love story of Sang Zhi and Duan Jiaxu, The First Frost shifts gears to a more mature, second-chance romance between Sang Yan (played by Bai Jingting) and Wen Yifan (played by Zhang Ruonan).

The story follows Sang Yan, a confident and sometimes arrogant guy who appears carefree but actually carries a lot of emotional baggage. He reconnects with his college flame, Wen Yifan, years after an unresolved breakup. Wen Yifan, independent and no-nonsense, isn’t exactly thrilled to see him again, but fate keeps throwing them together. Cue all the classic rom-com chaos—awkward run-ins, past misunderstandings, undeniable chemistry, and, of course, slow-burn romance with plenty of tension.

Unlike Hidden Love, which was all about first love and youthful infatuation, The First Frost leans into themes of growing up, regret, and what it means to find love when you're no longer naive. It’s got everything: witty banter, emotional moments, and enough longing looks to set the internet on fire. Whether you’re here for the romance or just want to see Sang Yan finally get his happy ending, this drama is a must-watch.

So, if you’re a fan of emotionally unavailable men finally getting their act together, The First Frost should be on your list.
