A youth romance that will give you butterflies in every episode ! Highly recommend!

LinYiyang is a genius ex snooker player who had retired because of a conflict at a competition and is living as a student in Finland. He meets YinGuo , an up and coming young billiards player during a snowstorm in Finland and their love story begins.

This is a drama that gives you an intimate glimpse into a young couples love story from a fateful meeting, to their building attraction leading to a long distance relationship and the comeback of Lin YiYang as a professional billiards player again.

The lead couple’s chemistry and tension is INSANE and starts not even 15 minutes into the first episode. I actually haven’t experienced something like this in any drama recently ( and I’ve seen plenty ), it was giving me butterflies from the beginning episode to the end and had me glued to the screen.
The drama didn’t have the usual tropes like fighting, love- hate relationship, toxic male lead behavior, betrayal etc..instead It was actually a very real and urban depiction of how a relationship forms between two young people and the uncertainty and insecurity they face in a LDR so I really loved that.
The acting was excellent by all the young cast especially the two leads and the cinematography was just heavenly!!
I appreciate that they took time with the editing so the whole drama was beautifully shot and had a very dreamy vibe to it.
The first half of the drama focuses on the couple’s building romance and it is in the second half that billiards mostly comes into play. I enjoyed all those sequences too and the billiards scenes were mostly performed by the cast themselves, so kudos to that.
I also liked that the central focus was the lead couples relationship and didn’t deviate much into subplots.
I hope lots of people watch this drama, cos initially it didn’t seem to be my type too cos I like historical drama , betrayal, revenge etc like nobody else lol ?
You just have to watch it to know how special this drama is ..
