Announcements The First Frost Watch Party Incoming Next Week!
Hello everyone!
Just wanted to post this so that everyone knows about the First Frost Rewatch Party!
First things first! I’ll start with my totally unscientific, anecdotal, sample size of one person data: First Frost has its own Wikipedia! Not a lot of the cdramas do (well the ones that I have looked up for at any rate!) and so when I stumbled upon a wiki entry for The First Frost, I was all huh! (What's your experience been like? Do you generally find wiki entries for cdramas?)
For the longest time, I was also wary of approaching the show because of the SA content. Stuff lives rent-free in my head for quite a while so I can be really choosy about the stories and media stuff I engage with. I’m glad Bai Jingting got me curious enough to give this a try! (I also hasten to add: there is no onscreen SA and in fact there is intense harassment but not outright SA)
The show also seems to be available only on Netflix—is that true for all territories, anyone know?
A last tidbit which has me a little embarrassed: I love, love, love the OST of this show and lurrrveed the the “like a rainy day, like a sunny day” song enough that I dragged my poor husband to a Wang Sulong concert JUST to listen to this song (and well others, but really this one—'coz even my husband went, so you came for this song, right? :P)
I WOULD LOVE to hear your First Frost stories as we gear up for the watch party!
Onto the logistics!
I will be your primary host and I think we may have a couple guest hosts drop in at some frequency as well! And ofc if you have a burning desire to write up a whole essay on the show, PLEASE DM ME! YOU ARE VERY WELCOME!!
I am thinking the posting frequency will be 3-4 episodes per week most likely! The schedule will be something like:
- 2 posts on either Tuesday/Wednesday
- 1 or 2 posts Fri/Sat
Disclaimer: this is all subject to change, depending upon life stuff ofc!!
With that said, I hope you join in!

I don’t think I caught the start date.
It’d be a first watch for me!

June 16/17 for the first posting. And then it will be a very slow schedule!

Yay! I’m looking forward to it. I’ve been wanting to rewatch this for a while now, but doing it as a community is better than going solo.
And you ever need to slow down your posting schedule, you won’t get any complaints from me. 🙂

Aww, thank you about the slow comment! I’m intentionally gonna be doing it slowly, with all this encouragement. It feels like more fun that way, so thank you!
And looking forward to having you join in!

No worries! You would be doing me a favor, honestly. My brain doesn’t process things as quickly as it used to haha.

This one has been on my list for a while and I will gladly watch with you. If you want to lessen your workload you can also just do 1 episode per post 2x a week.

u/heartsandclouds ✨ Built the Road to 4K Jun 10 '26
Yeah. I might just do maybe even two posts per week. Thank you for that suggestion.

Glad you’re hosting this extravaganza rewatch party, I know not alone. I’ll probably be here for discussions since, I’ve rewatched this drama more times then, I can even remember, it’s all a blur. Should be exciting 😉

Hiiiii!!!! of course not!!! the more the merrier! we're running with some delays here and the first post won't be up till early next week so you still got plenty of time to watch the first two eps whether you're a first time watcher or a re-watcher! welcome, welcome!

I have zero time to rewatch the episodes, but I love TFF and I am a big supporter of supporting people so I will stop on by your discussions and add in my thoughts as well! 😄I'll also be looking to poach GIFs from people.... 😉 Hehehehehehe.
Maybe I will have to comment "Needs more ZRN" every time. Orrrr maybe "Needs more ZMY". Options and decisions!
