The First Frost season 1 and ending explained
As Sang Yan and Yifan start their new life as roommates, Sang Yan continues to support Yifan during her difficulties. On New Year’s Eve, he surprises her with homemade dumplings. Meanwhile, Yifan’s sleepwalking episodes return, causing unintentional moments of closeness with Sang Yan. While she remains unaware of his growing feelings, Sang Yan struggles with his emotions but doesn’t give up on her.
Yifan slowly realizes her own feelings for Sang Yan, and on his birthday, she plans to confess to him. However, she gets delayed by a news assignment but still sends him a cake and a heartfelt letter. Meanwhile, Sang Yan surprises her in Beiyu, while confirming his love for her, and their relationship finally blossoms.
While all this takes place, Yifan gets into trouble as her estranged family resurfaces, with her uncle, Che Xingde, harassing her. He even causes Sang Yan’s bar to close, and out of fear for Sang Yan’s safety, Yifan disappears without warning. This leaves Sang Yan heartbroken, and she goes out searching for her.
During his search, Sang Yan uncovers Yifan’s dark past, about how she was assaulted by Che Xingde as a teenager. Yifan jumped from a window, while trying to escape and broke her ankle, which crushed her dream of becoming a ballerina. Meanwhile, Yifan finds peace by choosing to teach dance in Hong Kong and reconnects with Sang Yan, encouraged by friends.
While investigating a cold case, Yifan finds out about Che Xingde’s involvement in a murder and exposes it. As Xingde targets her once again, Sang Yan confronts her and gets stabbed. However, police officials eventually arrive in time to arrest Che Xingde, who later faces the death penalty.
With her past troubles now behind her, Yifan embraces her new life with Sang Yan, and they move in together to plan a future. Sang Yan eventually proposes to her with a ring hidden in her childhood toy box. Yifan responds yes, overwhelmed with joy, and the story ends with hope, love, and a fresh start together.
Possibilities of “The First Frost” season 2 renewal
