I say check it out. It's beautiful!
I recently watched Amidst a Snowstorm of Love. Wow, complicated name in English, hahahahaha, sorry, I'm not fluent at all... Anyway, as I told a friend, besides the horror trends, I tend to fall madly in love with stories about older women and younger men. Some of this is due to the fact that men have always matured later in relationships. Prejudice? Yes may be. I call that, life experience. Whatnot.The fact is that I really liked the Snooker drama, but I loved this one. Without wanting to compare both dramas, the focus of which is beside the point at the moment,
Anyway, sorry, it's difficult not to have a minimum of comparison: Both have a sports theme, both have Leo Wu and both have FLs with great references and acting.
Nothing but you, despite being a longer and, in my opinion, more complex drama, and having been filmed in about 7 months, seems to have less recognition among the general public. Meanwhile, Amidst a Snowstorm of Love, although it had participation from other countries and was more successful, was filmed in 3 months. Both have their merits and are well worth checking out.
Nothing but you, although it has more positive points than negative points, I believe that some scenes could be edited and, therefore, reduce the viewing time. 30 episodes would be a good size, without losing its charming essence in any way.
Even though I came here for Leo Wu, I must admit that Zhou Yu Tong was brilliant. A mature, intelligent, independent, strong character and, most of the time, in control of situations. His little display of ingenuity in the final chapters, while criticized by some, was adorable.
Leo Wu, although he has already witnessed his most impressive performances, here he knew how to embody Song San Chuan masterfully. An impeccable athletic body...mercy! I can't let this observation pass ?, beautiful, it's a fact! But his moments as a rebellious boy, stubbornness and insecurity typical of immaturity, were unique. I confess, I enjoyed each one of them.
Very good supporting cast, although they spent an extended amount of time on the younger sister and her necessary family members. I think it would have been better to have invested more in the story of the other athletes, the nutritionist friend and the coach Zhang Yan.
Anyway, if you have doubts about checking out this drama, I say check it out. It's beautiful!
I will never forget my moments with my son by my side, talking about tennis rules, nor that, in my entire life, I admired this sport so much.

overall pretty good
cdramas have been hitting hard lately and this was my first cdrama in a while that I liked. I love the male lead’s character and u can never really go wrong with the older girl trope. Only problem I had was the few eps at the end were boring BUT I LOVED THE REST OF ITI like how playful the male lead was, but also mature at the same time. He is kind of reckless so he took the female lead out of the comfort zone a lot of the times with was nice to see. their relationship also seems so healthy and I love seeing that in any drama

I watched 'Nothing But You' (NBY) after watching 'Amidst a Snowstorm of Love'. Compared to the latter, I really didn't enjoy NBY as much. The main leads lacked chemistry, and it didn't matter to me whether they ended up together or not. It was annoying that Song Sanchuan always lowered himself for Jiang Youan. I didn't observe much personal growth, especially in Song Sanchuan. I kind of wished the drama was more about the players. It would have been better if they showed more about tennis than political issues and romance. Unlike 'Amidst a Snowstorm of Love', which sparked my interest in billiards, NBY didn't make me interested in tennis. I felt this drama lacked bromance.
The male lead had major traumas and psychological issues, but they never showed him getting treated properly. This could have been a much better drama, but at its best, it was average.
I still enjoyed parts of it, but a lot of the time, I was simply bored and hoping it would end.

Heartwarming Sports + Noona Romance
It's a well written & acted slice of life drama with an extremely detailed sports related plot and a very intelligent Noona romance that works because of the acting prowess of main leads.Like a few other Cdramas, I like how this one focuses on detailed aspects of athletics in China, primarily focusing on Badminton & Tennis ? while romance being the subtle sub plot but very maturely written & executed.
Might felt a little dragged towards middle & ending but it shows successfully how so many struggling people in career & life can uplift each other.
Wu Lei shines so bright.

Finally finished watch this. Reluctant to watch at first, but upon hearing many positive thing about this drama finally succumb to it & decided to watch.This drama tell story about Song San Chuan (SC), that even though a talented badminton athlete but have stuck in the place cause by his trauma. And here come Liang You An (YA) that see the potential in SC. SC fall in love at the first sight with YA & always try to please SC, even try to break trough his own trauma for the sake of YA. But trouble still come that make SC had to give up badminton & later on once again for the sake of YA he move to tennis. One prodigy he is... One athlete that move field in his 20s & still success. Haha...
What I like from this drama:
+ What a cute couple Leo Wu & Zhou Yu Tong are. Never expected they can be this cute playing couple. The really positive thing from this couple, we don't see they try to reverse role them. Until the end SC & YA still act according to their age, YA not become childish & clingy, & SC not becoming too mature.
+ SC is really really one stubborn & persistent athlete. Sometimes even put too much force unto himself. But from him we can see the picture of the athlete, how they train & persistent in their own field.
+ Jiang Jiao Jiao (JJ) & Liang Tao (LT) are also a cute couple. Really love how they develop feeling for each other & support each other in the end.
+ Give up is not the end. I mean like when SC decided to drop badminton & later on switch to tennis & Chen Zhe who is in the end admit that he is not talented & choose to drop tennis & choose to inherit his family business. Sometime give up is not embarrassing & certainly not the end of the world.
+ Persistent always bear fruit. Except the sample from SC, we also get to see JJ that didn't get support from his dad at first, but how he still persistent & firm with his decision & also support from his mom & LT, he finally can show his dad that his decision to continue tennis is not wrong.
What I don't too like:
- A little bit too beautiful. I mean like SC that successful change his field is like a dream come true.
Overall this drama quite good, not regret watching this. But at the same time nothing too good about this that I think gonna leave a trail in my mind.

Best drama in 2023
This is my 1st ever review. If you are looking for a good drama then go for it without a delay. It still airing I'm on 14th ep, but I can say this will be a hit. (Ig?) no the usual drama it's different.Story line:
A sports based story , different from other dramas. Age difference between the leads plays a big part . It's not the usual cliche c drama. This feels different.
ML:
I haven't watched his dramas before, so watching his 1st drama he's so good at acting and expressing everything. The portrayal of the leads is really awesome. Btw he looking good ?
FL:
I have watched her dramas before she's super cools I love her character very much. She's bold, cute, matured. she's doing justice to her character?.
The chemistry mmmm? as of now there's not much , I think it will come in the future. they'll make a simple but beautiful pair.?
This is my 1st review let me know if it's helpful!??

Cant' bear to watch till end
I really like Zhou Yu Tong in Begin Again so I was waiting for this drama and my friend said Leo Wu's acting is good, the promotion videos and photos are promising but turned out this is not my cup of tea.So many struggles in this one, and almost nothing to balance that, i just saw they are keep suffering with so little reward after that. In tennis ML need to keep up with the training but in romance he also need to keep up with the FL. FL so reasonable at the first episode, so smart in dealing with people and know everyone's character, but she doesn't know how to face the ML.
Usually there will be some comedy in the middle of serious drama, but I just see that everyone has their own problem.

First time seeing Wu Lei in modern clothes.
I didn't imagine that I'd fall in love with this series when I started watching it. Loved it. The story is so well written.Wu Lei & Zhou Yu Tong have great chemistry together. They look good together.
This is the 3rd series of Wu Lei I'm watching after Love Like The Galaxy & The Long Ballad. I just love him. He impressed me with his acting skills. In these 3 series, he portrays three different characters with ease. Wu Lei's expression in some scenes was so good as well as hilarious.
Song San Chuan is a young, hard-working athlete. He is a charming, handsome, smart, cheerful, mature & straightforward guy. At first, it looked like he was a cold & unsocial guy. That is because his surroundings were not friendly & supportive. Afterward, he became a loving, funny, friendly person. Liang You An is a hardworking girl, great at her work. Doing everything right to get a promotion, but her boss is holding her back because she is that good of a special assistant.
Song San Chuan & Liang You An have a mature & understanding relationship. They are always standing by each other. Their age was never a problem for them because of their understanding of each other. They solve their problems with communication, which is rare in the series. In every other series, communication is what is lacking between the main leads. There is no stupid & jealous second lead who wants to come in between the main leads ( which is a relief). The support that Liang You An gave to Song San Chuan is remarkable. In every sport, she is there to support him.
Love An Cong, he so cares for Song San Chuan despite him not being his son. He treated Song San Chuan like his own.
Hate Jiang Jie. He is an arrogant, selfish, self-centered person. Everything revolves around him.
Whose small details Song San Chuan remembers of Liang You An is so sweet. Like Liang You An doesn't eat green so he is pick greens out. The scene where they play in playground was so sweet. Song San Chuan asking Liang You An for a date while jumping he was so cute. The look on Song San Chuan face when Liang You An asked him to remove is clothes off he was terrified. Liang You An care & worries after seeing Song San Chuan injured fingers & coming every night to keep him company was sweet.
Finally, Song San Chuan got a supportive teammate & friends. Chen Zhe was the 1st person to help Song San Chuan at tennis. He is the 1st friend Song San Chuan had. After that, Dai Yi started to help him at tennis. All because they saw how hardworking & dedicated Song San Chuan is at tennis. Jiang Jiao Jiao at 1st was arrogant, a spoiled brat, but afterward he also became best friends with Song San Chuan. These 4 have such a wonderful friendship. Always supporting each other, encouraging each other. Jiang Jiao Jiao & Song San Chuan friendship is so funny & childish, they're the best.
I can free their pain & struggle to stand on the bus, I face it everyday.
Love Song San Chuan & Liang You An zoo date. They were so cute. Having fun just for one day, forgetting everything, just enjoying themselves.
It made me sad seeing Song San Chuan getting rejected twice by Liang You An.
The scene where all of his friends have to hit Song San Chuan for practice & they weren't willing to do it but had to. Hurt & guilt in their faces when the ball hit Song San Chuan.
Jiang Jiao Jiao expression when he caught Song San Chuan & Liang You An smiling at each other. Jiang Jiao Jiao helping Song San Chuan so the coach didn't doubt him.
Song San Chuan getting jealous of the D3 manager for taking too much to Liang You An. Song San Chuan calling himself a pervert.
Loved how Song San Chuan ran to Liang You An when she said that she didn't want to be alone & is afraid. He kept her company, cooked for her, played games with her & cheering her up was so cute.
With style, Song San Chuan entered & introduced himself as Liang You An boyfriend to her ex. I just loved it. Song San Chuan scolding Liang You An for wearing too much makeup & keeping a few buttons of her shirt open & her telling him to keep his collar down was so hilarious.
The way An Cong convinced Song San Chuan to play the match was so funny. His reaction after seeing Liang You An in Song San Chuan clothes.
Love Zhang Yan expression of everything, it was so on point.
Love Song San Chuan, Jiang Jiao Jiao & Chen Zhe friendship and the way they tackle the bullies. Jiang Jiao Jiao & Chen Zhe getting into the bathroom with Song San Chuan to find out what he said was hilarious.
How dedicated Song San Chuan is, even in his sleep he is practising.
Song San Chuan's shocked expression when Liang You An suddenly kissed him.
It was funny to see when Song San Chuan caught Liang You An telling Luo Nian about them & her reaction afterwards.
My most favorite scene of Song San Chuan & Liang You An is them living together for a few months. They experience so much together, living a life free of burden. So many sweet & cute moments they had.
This series is a must watch. One of my favorite series.

Not for me ...
Story of their first meeting was not satisfied me . Then his trauma story . He was suffering from a kind of trauma that occured him when he was around 16 years old I guess or may be more younger and he was playing his very important badminton game which is very importantfor him and his mother . He was going to win the game and at that moment he was looking for his mother among the audience who was there but at his last moment of wining he didn't find her , so it desperate him and he lost his point and loss the game. Then he came to know his mother left him which made him more sad and it affected his game . After that whenever he played the badminton game and when he reached to 18 points , he lost everything and didn't able to win. All the time he looked confident but this very moment he desparate everytime.
And then female lead help him to overcome his fear and then expected ending was there .

My review so far: It's a slow build -- but don't give up. It's captivating!
I loved Wu Lei/Leo Wu in Love Like the Galaxy and Zhou Yu Tong in Young Blood; so I was on pins and needles of excitement waiting for this! The first 5-6 episodes were very slow, TBH, and I found myself losing interest and fast forwarding. I was getting worried that I'd have to drop this one. But because I believe in the ML and FL's acting, I dug in my heels and stuck it out -- and around episode 7 it started getting better, and now I'm legitimately hooked!So if you're just starting this drama and feeling on the fence about continuing it -- don't quit just yet! I'm glad I didn't!

It's just ok
I think I have seen enough of this drama to do a review and here it is....I only watched this drama for Zhou Yutong, to me she is #1 actress of this era, Big call considering we have Zhao Lusi, Dileriba, Yang Mi however I just love her acting style, always drawn to watching her dramas, if not been for her I would have dropped this title....
Did I feel it from Zhou Yutong in this drama? YES 100%....
Did I feel it from Leo Wu in this drama? To some degree YES, say 70% but better than nothing....
Did I enjoy the structure and pacing of this drama? Not really, they should really have shortened the drama.....
Did the supports provide relief? I think so, Mark Ma please age quick so you can get lead roles, you are a future star!
8/10 is still decent viewing, will finish it, however wont rewatch it
If you did watch, hope you enjoyed it.....
