Slice of Life
I will come back later once I've finished the show. I just wanted to right my thoughts in one spotPros
-Chemistry is the best I've seen
-No angst
-Gives slow burn vibes, but is actually quite fast paced
-Acting is really good
-Well casted
-Good clothing choices
-Great sets
-Rarely boring
-both leads were green forests, but they had understandable foibles
Cons:
-I don't really like English music in cdramas. Like they have grammatical errors, which bothers me. Some songs they overplayed to much (which were, to begin with, not that great)
-the sports theme was kinda not very much shown
-They do a lot of eating
(for the cons, they're not very serious issues)
In general, one of the best cdramas I've watched.

The drama itself is very slow-paced, yet it absorbs with its narrative
I started watching ASSOL without any background information. At the beginning of the first episode, I thought that the blizzard city could be from Finland (by default, some place in China). After a while, I realized that the series was partly filmed in Finland. The cities of Helsin and Hel(l) in the story is Helsinki. Thus, as a Finn, the interest in drama rose all at once.The drama itself is very slow-paced, yet it absorbs with its narrative. The male lead in his role is very convincing. The female lead is certainly a talented actress, but the image of women in Chinese dramas is annoying, to say the least, from such a European perspective. This time, shyness has been taken to extremes. Extra points for the following points: Due to Arctic conditions, this time there has been no need to look at the microskirts of female actors. In addition, the number of soft toys is kept to a minimum.
