cute. although, the translation annoyed the hell out of me. god, im not even that informal when i talk to my friends in chats. seriously, some of the 'ละ‘ ’ปะ‘ ’อ่ะ‘ at the end of the sentence totally destroyed the mood in some of the emotional scenes. but it was cute. how i wish i could understand mandarin so i wouldnt be stuck with this. the subtitle in the adaptation wasnt even this childish and informal. i get it. they were friends so they talked informally but still....this book, this translated version, when was it released? 2010 or what???? bruh.
1. I feel sorry for the main leading character and think everyone feels the same. It explains lots of things in the first book. However, I still feel that her character is not consistent between "Hidden Love" and "First Frost". The writer made her almost the victim of the SA in most of the places she lived and the writer also used the same trick twice, which is uncreative in my opinion. It seems that the writer just wanted to put lots of tragedy on her to make her pitiful as much as possible.
My first impression of her during "Hidden Love" is that she was a bold and confident girl, but in "First Frost", she was quiet and kept most things to herself. I think I would enjoy the story much more if the writer keeps her character as a sassy girl who did not afraid to speak her mind, as I perceived her at first. I think she would be a good match with the male leading character.
2. The pacing of the story-telling is so extremely slow in my opinion. The story is a bit uneventful multiple times during the first two books. The development of their relationship took years with little progress. It is so time-consuming.
3. I do not quite like the translation in multiple parts.
Will I re-read this? Probably no. 2.5/5.
