worth the watch 100%
I’m a person who can’t handle a drama with more than 20 episodes usually, so, like all cdramas I watch, I got intimidated by the amount of episodes this had BUT OMG I RAN THROUGH THEM SO FAST!!! this was SO. FREAKING. AMAZING. I wasn’t bored for one second watching this and I even wanted more episodes.I love how Yin Guo had her own career, supported herself and everything and I think Lin Yiyang is literally the most PERFECT man ever. He was such a gentleman, and he was portrayed in a way that it was obvious he was written by a woman. Leo Wu is popping off recently and out of the few cdramas that I rlly rlly enjoyed recently, he’s been in 2 of them. I loved seeing him play a mature reliable character after seeing him play a playful silly one in “nothing but you”.
Also, never have I seen a cdrama create tension and chemistry between 2 people THIS well!! seriously, some of the scenes in this show where they didn’t kiss in were more exciting to watch than their actual kiss scenes, but that doesn’t mean their kiss scenes weren’t good, it’s just that their chemistry is SO AMAZING that the drama would do fine without any kisses. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS WAS SO GOOD I RECOMMEND

Tenderness, Determination and Longing = Love
This drama displays emotional growth, career aspirations and inspirational longing that leads to lasting love. The ML gave an enriching performance of ego, humility, patience and compassion. The FL was wonderful in her display of innocence within first love experiences while striving to accomplish her career goals. The chemistry! Warmth, tension, attraction, and tenderness were all swoon worthy. The depth of emotion with the supporting cast was noteworthy and rich. The sensitivities of friend family relations were heart tugging reminders that tomorrow is not promised to anyone. The backdrop, scenery and production truly pull you into each changing scene. This is a beautifully written, cast and performed drama paced to make your heart ebb and flow with the understanding that we all have our faults, growth needed and strengths. But with love and understanding, the other side of progress can be beautiful.A MUST WATCH!!!

Heartwarming Love Story
I love the story, plot and setting of the series. The first few episodes are filmed in Finland which gives the story a beautiful, panoramic view and post card like setting, a perfect place for Leo Wu and Zhao Jin Mai to showcase their amazing chemistry and acting skills. The story evolves with these two young couple, Yin Guo and Lin Yi Yang who are both talented in playing billiards. Lin Yi Yang fell in love with Yin Guo at first sight and he slowly and purposely pursue her. Their love story gradually develop as the story progresses.It's my first time watching Zhao Jin Mai in a series and she's really a gem, her micro expressions are on point and her acting skills are brilliant, as for Leo Wu, he never fails to deliver, he's such a talented young actor.

Amazing drama!
Cant say anything more, its just sooo amazing! From actors to director to settings and locations. Just great! My fave drama of 2024. FL & ML did a good job. Sweetness overload. I think Finland is one of the location in the drama. The cinematography on all locations are all on point. Very good production staff, they really did well.Was this review helpful to you?

Cozy and Comforting
I will be honest. As the title suggests, this is a love story so please don't expect action or drama since that will lead to only disappointment. As for me, this was exactly what I was looking for. This is a healing and comfort drama. I was seriously anticipating some of these after the whole gruesome era of sad endings and thrillers. If you are looking for something thrilling or suspenseful then this one is not for you, it has a simple storyline that kinda reminds me of Skating into Love. It has a nice and refreshing concept. This is one of the best dramas I have watched this year after My Demon and Doctor Slump which is still ongoing. I genuinely love how realistic their relationship felt. I love how nicely scripted this drama is, it shows all the aspects of the struggle an individual faces in a foreign country as well as the fact that he helped her so much coz he liked her nevertheless he would have helped her even If she was an ordinary citizen from his home country is so touching and wholesome. The way their relationship progresses and how she helps him overcome his long-term trauma. I love how supportive they are of each other and it shows in their eyes how much they love each other. I seriously question If a guy as amazing as Lin exists. Guo was amazing as well, she knows what she wants and goes for it. Overall, the story was amazing and it was portrayed well. I gave this one a 9 and even wrote a review coz I love both the leads and I am a bit biased towards them, maybe I wouldn't have given it an almost full rating If the actors were different but then again that would change the whole thing. I have been their fan for a long time. I have known Leo Wu since I was a kid lol and I got to know Jinmai a couple of years ago. I have been waiting for this drama for quite a long time and I have to say, I am satisfied. The OST seems pretty normal in the beginning but it grew on me later. The production and Cinematography was just about perfect.Was this review helpful to you?

A MUST WATCH DRAMA
The actors really portray their roles very well. Again a must watch drama from China. Proud of Wu Lei and Jin Mai and all other casts. Thank you for sharing us a beautiful love story and a passion for something that you love.Playing snooker was not something everyone known, but in this drama you will see the how passion and hardwork can play magic in one's lives.
I like also the main characters. A very cold and sad man meets the sweet and charming girl in the middle of a snowstorm. To be able to have a long distance relationship while being truthful to each other, and keeping in love are something that I wanted to experience (though not for long distance relationship, kidding).
The chemistry is so good. You can see the new side of how good Leo Wu as a sweet young man. A greenest among all man. You will see how gorgeous and charming Jin Mai here and the way she act. They are all really good at this drama.
Congratulations to writers, directors, actors and
all crews for making this drama a hit. You make everyone happy for sharing this kind of love story.

Your depression can be cured with its sweetness ?❤️
I feel empty now and don't know what to watch for single people like me.This drama was everything going through depression.Watching them, I was smiling, blushing, and kicking air.I love their chemistry. Lin Yi Yang tops the list of green flags; he is the guy we know we won't get in this generation❣️ When he said I like you,I love you, the word I want to marry you was attach with it.They look so good with each other want to watch them in another drama too.I will miss them going to rewatch again❣️Was this review helpful to you?
Wasted Talent
I decided to drop this drama after watching the 6th episode as I was bored out of my mind. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Wu Lei having watched his previous dramas in Nirvana in Fire, The Long Ballad, Nothing But you and Love like the Galaxy, but even my fondness for him was not enough to sustain my interest in such a flat storyline.What kept me going past the 1st episode was my anticipation and hope that the story would pick up and offer something more complex and interesting, but sadly what I see so far is more scenes of OCD-stalkerish Lin Yiyang with major hangups and a bruised ego finding solace in the warmth of a shy, impressionable, sheltered Yin Guo. The only thing that seems to progress is their deepening level of physical intimacy, from cold-staring, knee-bumping, head-stroking, hugging, full on kissing etc. The other characters appear rather insignificant because most of the screen and script time is taken up mostly by the relationship between these 2 characters. I know it's primarily meant to be a sweet romance drama, but honestly I was hoping for something more sophisticated than regular plain vanilla. After all, it's Wu Lei!
Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels disappointed with this drama so far..

Boring
High expectations but after 7 episodes of boring seeing them walking but going nowhere i cannot find interesting story. No real conversations between the couple . Boring story . depressing. No beautiful scenery no cool snooker moves or anything. Not funny or romantic of maybe very slow start and maybe it will become better later but cannot find myself like the other reviews of captivating from first scene or whatever.really one full disappointing drama

In terms of storyline, the artists and acting are really good and the feelings are really conveyed well.
It's a shame that many episodes were cut. It's not enough just 30 episodes.
It seems like no other drama can replace this drama. I feel like there will be something missing when watching other dramas after watching this drama.
For me, in the modern drama category, the one that takes first place forever is Admist a Snowstorm of Love

A pain-free fall into Love
Away from home & stranded in a snowstorm, the FL { Zhao Jin Mai } receives help from a kind stranger. The ML { Leo Wu }, took one look at her through a window & felt his world shift. Little do either of them know how this chance encounter will change their lives forever.Winter may be white, but this couple is pure G R E E N 💚💚💚
She’s a rising star in the world of professional billiards (& yeah, that’s a thing! 🤷🏻♀️) Years ago, he was a true genius in the sport, basking in the spotlight. But he left, both the sport & the country, after a scandal with no plans of coming back. As they spend time together, though, she inspires him to return to the world he left behind. And the whole journey is a delight to watch.
The ML is total boyfriend material. From that first glance, his entire being focuses on her. And it’s not in an unhealthy way where he lets everything else in his life fall apart, but rather in the sense that he now has a new purpose & drive to succeed in all his endeavors - so he can give her the very best version of himself. He’s very attentive & affectionate. He prioritizes her & does all he can to make her feel secure in his feelings for her. He’s all in & he’s not afraid to let the whole world know.
The FL is just as enamored with him as he is with her, though she’s a bit more hesitant to act on her feelings. He makes it safe for her to do so, though, so she jumps & joins him in the free fall to love. She’s mature for her age in the ways she doesn’t whine or try to manipulate him into doing what she wants. She’s willing to face any obstacles with him rather than demanding he just make them all disappear. She’s respectful of his goals & encourages him to chase his dreams, promising to be a source of unending support for him. And while her familial situation causes them to keep their relationship a secret from those outside their close circle, she’s fully devoted to him & makes sure he knows it.
I love this for its total lack of any drama-trauma. No rival interference, no jealous teammates, no stupid breakups - it’s a story full of love, respect, trust, support, & chemistry. Oh my wowza - their chemistry is both sugary sweet & smokin’ hot. 🔥🫠 They personify the saying, “the eyes are the windows of the soul”. The things they say with just a glance or gaze… it makes you believe the actors aren’t just acting!
I could gush over this so much, but instead of reading more of my opinions, you should just push play & enjoy the absolutely beautiful & precious story for yourself! 🩵💛💜💚
