Healthy romance with no cringey or toxic drama
I have to start by saying I no longer watch romantic drama, why? Because they are predictable. I have some time to spare and having heard so many rave reviews about this drama, I decided to give it a shot. I loved the bond of friendship, relationships repaired(Lin Yang and his coach), a man who loves a woman unapologetically. Wu Lei was expressive, very much present in all his scenes, carried the aura of a much older guy, I was very surprised to hear he was only 24 when he played this role.I was also surprised to see how well they actually played. The billiard table was not a prop, they actually spent hours training with professional players and it shows. 10/10 for commitment and effort. I learnt a thing or two about Billiard which was interesting.
What I would have liked better: more reciprocity from the FL, she was very coy which is understandable but overly coy which made some of her interactions child like. She also ate and slept a lot lol but she was very natural and played her role very well. I mean that was the script she was given.
If you are looking for an unproblematic, family and friendship based drama with lovely views of Helsinki and a sizzle of Billiards, this is for you.

Pure Romance
I have watched many dramas! This drama is in my top 10, maybe even top 5. I am more into boss employee trops. They only released 30 episodes and I wish I could watch the episodes they cut as it was suppose to be 38. I think her age when released they had to censor it a lot in China.This drama is by far the most green flag drama I have ever watched. Like the greenest of greens. Such pure love and I love how the male lead looks at her with love and passion. He doesn't have a lot but what he does have he wants to give her the best. This is the first drama I watched in maybe over 100, where the male leads thinks how she would feel and overly communicates. Like when the FL met this girl and mentioned the ML, he told her that girl used to like him and then goes further on to make it so nothing is confusing. Most dramas don't do that, they just say "oh she a friend" or "sister" or the male lead never communicates well enough so the girl is in her mind overthinking. I will say this hands down is a 10. I surprised people listed it as a lower number but to each of there own.
I will say the kisses are not great as most were cut when they cut 8 episodes worth of content. Normally I don't like watching it when they do not have really anything or when the girl pulls away from a kiss to much. But the pure and deep love they have is amazing and worth it.
I told my husband if you watch any Cdrama have it be this one and learn from this guy hahaha. I usually watch dramas by myself when he is at soccer which is one day a week but I made him start the first episode over with me again as it is so good in my opinion. They have so much passion and I am in awe. I would though, I am not a fan of how he was missing some school because of her or go sick from overworking himself. But I really really enjoyed it and if you watch any drama have it be this one. The male lead is a green forest and I am all for it.
Now if you are in to where they bicker back and forth first before getting together like me that is fine and that make for a good drama. But this show is what kind of love I want not just want to watch. Pure love and romance.

The best modern boyfriend you can ever wish for.
When you haven't watched this and you are still single, I guarantee that you gonna be hoping that one day you can find someone as good as Lin Yiyang.Since the beginning until the end of the episode you will feel as I feel that how lucky Yin Guo been love and pampered by him.
Although it's make me envy just by watching this two character, but not only their story love that make me so hook and amazed by this story.
This story are really worth to be watch, and all the other characters here are so well done.
When you watch this you really can feel so emotional, that you might always smile, laugh but the same time you can feel so sad that you cry with them too.
This story are full with love and also a bitter sweet taste. But the gladly is the story have a happy ending story.
I can't describe what I really want to say about this beautiful story, but I can tell that I will watch this story again, coz it was worth it to re-watch.
And I got to tell you all before I end it.
Damn Leo Wu are so damn HOT and handsome here, so cool and so perfect for this character. Well done 👍👍
Oh the last thing, the soundtrack are awesome too, especially the one when the song come out when they going to compete at the court.
Haven't watched? You better watch it now...

Smooth as silk
Apparently nothing really happens in this cdrama, but once you get started you won't get enough of them. A simple love story that will entertain you with complicit glances, irony and a lot of tenderness. If we go beyond the sport storyline, they are an avarage boy falling in love with an avarage girl, living their story in a very realistic way, without silly missunderstings, without useless dramas or traumas.And..please tell me that the two main leads dated in real life because they had such a great chemistry!

The atmosphere, music and a fitting conclusion it has everything
What a beautiful journey it was first of all the OSTs all of them going in my playlist IT WAS SO GOOD! Just watch it even if billiards seem boring the characters their interactions it's worth it thankfully i used to like watching 8-pool so it was a even better experience only one critique don't think they explored side characters enough well the main characters were so visually pleasing it doesn't affect viewing experienceWas this review helpful to you?
Swoon swoon swoon
Leo Wu carried this drama through his eyes. Damn, the guy's eyes and the way he looks at the FL will make you swoon and make your love life seem inadequate... ha ha..Its a sweet, simple show without any misunderstandings and unnecessary drama. Just a sweet love story and a collective love for the sport. The only complaint i have is that the kisses were just pecks, I wanted more ;-)

Such a sweet love story
Normally, I am a big slow burn lover and don't like it when characters fall in love in the very first episode but this one is a whole exception, I REALLY LOVED IT. Especially, their scenes in Finland are so heart warming. There is no unnecessary drama, characters are mature enough, no overreactions. Unlike some other dramas, you don't see one side of the couple pushing it more for the relationship while other is as stiff as steel, both of them put same effort into their relationship. The only thing I didn't like about their relationship is the ML constantly trying to kiss her while FL constantly trying to escape although most of the time she is doing it out of shyness. Talking about FL, she is the cutest🤩 Cast members are way too good-looking and talented. And I am not mentioning the insane chemistry Mai and Leo have, coz their characters look like they were meant to be with each other only.Was this review helpful to you?
El verdadero slow burn romance!!!
Un drama bastante hermoso, empieza un poco lento pero es eso lo que le da el toque especial, esa lentitud es la que te hace querer estar pegada a la pantalla.Ver el lindo romance surgir poco a poco es lo que hace a este drama tan especial, el que Lin se enamore de Yin Guo a primera vista lo hace aun más hermoso, ya que se ve que realmente quiere estar con ella, protegerla, así como casi nadie lo hizo con él.
Espectacular la química entre los dos, si hasta yo me ponía nerviosa con la mirada de Leo Wu!
Puedes ver como los personajes avanzan poco a poco y sin tantas complicaciones, resuelven situaciones muy naturalmente y realmente quieres verlos juntos, quieres verlos triunfar en el amor y sus metas personales.
Simplemente me encantaron los personajes principales, así como en la pantalla desbordaban química también lo hacían detrás de escena, que maravilla ver a estos dos actores trabajar juntos.
Los personajes secundarios me agradaron bastante, todos aportan lo suyo a la trama sin llagar a molestar, al contrario quieres verlos y saber más de ellos.
Super recomendado!

Intense Love Story ??
This rom-com has everything from love at first sight ( which I absolutely love) to second chances. The drama main focus is about Lin Yi Yang (Leo Wu) who runs into women’s 9 ball pool player Yin Guo (Zhao Jin Mai ) during a snowstorm and instantly falls for her ❤️❤️.With the help of her cousin, he starts hanging out with her and gets to know her. However, he has his own past as it seems that Lin Yi Yang himself was once as a professional snooker player who ended up offending a referee during his last professional match.
Frustrated with everything that went on, he took an early retirement and since then has been drifting through life trying to find himself until he met Yin Guo. Leo Wu played the character who is a good person but has abandonment issues really well. With the help of Yin Guo whilst chasing after her to be his girlfriend, he decides to move forward and make a comeback.
The pacing of this drama was well structured, from them meeting, getting to know each other to him dealing with his past with the help of Yin Guo whilst in a long distant relationship and finally finding glory together. Was done perfectly.
Alongside the 2 main leads, was the amazing cast which includes Wang Xing Yue, Dai Si, Dong Zi Fan and Chen Jing Ke. And they all did amazing job at their roles.
This drama demonstrates that with no matter how low you fall, with good mindset and positive attitude along with positive people around you, you can get back on your feet at any age.
The fact that both of the leads learned the game as well is so impressive and made it look realistic.
Absolutely fabulous drama and is defiantly 10/10 and a rewatch from me. If Anyone is thingking about watching this drama then go for it you wont regret it.👌
