Snow Lover (2021)

The only reason I watched this so quickly is because I skimmed the scenes I didn't care about, and I never felt that invested in the romances to feel stressed out by their struggles... The acting was pretty average, and sometimes the editing was confusing.

I was initially interested because this is a second chance romance between the main characters He Feng and Wang Xiao An. There were some legitimate issues that caused their breakup, and they both held regrets in their hearts. However, the chemistry between them just wasn't really there? It took He Feng way too long to see how his actions regarding Feng Yiyi affected Xiao An. Their storyline really focuses more on their pursuit of their individual dreams and others sabotaging them. Towards the end, I didn't feel like things like moving in together and getting married were addressed clearly? Why did we never see Xiao An talk to her parents? The scenes with He Feng's mom seemed meaningless. I was so surprised when the last episode centered around revealing a villain--I honestly thought that would occur sooner and would've preferred a final episode focused on the main characters.

The actress who played Xiao An's best friend Lin Jin Jin was too over the top. I basically skipped most of her scenes. Ye Nan was so cute and sweet. I also really liked He Jing Xiao for bringing some humor into the drama, but I feel like the casting was off. Yu Yi Jie (Jerry Yu) is pretty good at this sort of role, but he just looked too old that it was difficult to match him to his character's storyline.

Anyhow, you could give it a try if you're looking for a mindless, low-investment watch. At least both cases of unrequited love were dealt with pretty well. (One was super mature about it, and the other was annoying but at least eventually acknowledged their true feelings and moved on.)

Script writer meets game designer

I didn't have much expectation going in...Honestly the first couple of ep wasnt so bad but it got worst as it went on. The thing I really liked was the songs!

To be the story seems kinda stretched... like female lead is a script writer. Male lead is a game designer. They use to be each other's first love. For some reason they broke up and years later the male lead wants to design a game about skiing. He ask the female lead to cast the story.

First of all the leads have little to none chemistry. Their relationship isn't believable. Also their relationship isnt smooth. Seems to be that the male lead cares more about his own start up company and is kinda stiff in the head when it comes to relationships.

The story's focus isnt on them but on the male lead's company . They introduce the third female lead who is in love with the male lead. Then there is the second female lead who is aka female lead's best friend. The second female lead's character is a celebrity and kinda annoying. She does nothing to add to make the story better. Back to the third female... She is part of the male lead's company and does things to mess with the leads relationship. ( she is jealous of their relationship)

For the leads they are always bickering and getting into fights, seemingly that they dont truly understand each other. I mean i understand each has their own stand point.

In the end, i dont think it worth watching...
