Such a beautiful slow paced rommance
This drama is a love story that spans 30 episodes. Each episode is captivating and engaging. The drama has a gentle and refined tone, with a lot of romance and sweetness. The script is well-written, and the actors deliver excellent performances. The drama portrays a mature and realistic relationship, without any unnecessary conflicts or angst. The male lead expresses his jealousy in a cute way, while the female lead reassures him with her confidence and wisdom. This drama is a must-watch for anyone who loves C dramas, or wants to try them for the first time. The only thing I wish is that the flirting phase lasted a bit longer. But even without it, the story is perfect.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
A midst a snowstorm of emotions and possibly a manic episode
This drama starts off sweet, and fluffy... Aloof boy falls in love with a girl they eats, sleep, look at scenery, train, repeat there is not much plot but its is an easy watch that is nice to look at.Living in a nordic country myself I really enjoyed watching my c-fluff in a culture and setting close to the one I live in (even if they might have made a few mistakes). With the added bonus that most of the non Chinese he people where shwen to be friendly.
After a while the boy who is supposedly poor manages to spin of surprising the girl with grand gestures, flights here and there, the boy pretty much never sleeps all signs of a manic episode... There is also a bunch of not so secret following(slight stalking), helping from behind the scenes and misshaps... with a HUGE amount of patriotism, the Chineese are the best, morals, morals as far as the eye can see and the usual propagande those of us who enjoy c-fluff have gotten used to ignoring.
And from then on the red flags of Chine keep adding up and all the sweet and fluffy potentially green flags that they tried to sell off in the beginning where long gone... A process those who have been in not so good relationships can relate too, but here sold off as oh so sweet, normal and mostly romantic, even if they do throw in a few good lines here and there.
That said the female lead rocks, she is amazing in every single way, relatable, fun, smart, talented... Fine she fell in to the dudes trap, but that only shows us that bad ass women fall too... But by the end of it I was hoping she would run away and start an ICE 9 ball cult up north somewhere.
Oh they also play a lot of snooker and 9 ball...
So to sum it up, I would recommend you watch the first 10 or 15 episodes for the fluff, but do not expect any plot and just ignore the other half of the show...
P.s there are no annoying side characters

Don't waste your time. The story is boring and horny young love with no drama. Acting is mediocre
Amidst the Snowstorm is a romance drama about young lovers who met each other on a snowy winter day in Finland, where the FL was there for a Billiard competition.The story is so stupid and slow; there is no drama. It is young love. I should have dropped it, but since Wu Lei is playing the ML, I stick with it. I should have dropped it; it was so dumb, and the onscreen chemistry between him and Zhao JinMai was not good.
The Synopsis:
Yin Guo has become a notable athlete and professional billiards player. After receiving an invitation to play in a tournament in Hel, Yin Guo eagerly accepts. Little does she know that what will follow will change her life forever.
Before Yin Guo can even start training for the upcoming competition, an unexpected snowstorm leaves her stranded with Lin Yi Yang, and an instant connection is made. Helped along by her cousin, Yin Guo, and Yi Yang continue to get to know each other better long after the storm subsides. But even as they draw closer, Yin Guo has yet to learn that Yi Yang has a lot of history in professional billiards. A true genius in the sport, Yi Yang once basked in the spotlight of professional billiards fame, but that was long ago.
Inspired by Yin Guo's love of the sport, Yi Yang decides the time is right to return to the world of professional billiards.
My Reviews:
1. I finished Amidst the Snowstorm and was not fond of it much. The story was so boring and slow.
2. No drama between the main CP and the supporting cast was pointless. They were there as fillers, but it was not necessary. It is like "Love Me Love My Voice," which I dropped after 16 episodes.
3. Zhao JinMai acted better in Reset than in this drama. She didn't act well, and her character was annoying.
4. She and Wu Lei have similar facial features, making them look like siblings rather than lovers.
5. Wu Lei's character is so horny that he keeps wanting to kiss her, and she rejects them most of the time. It got so old and repetitive, and it was no longer cute.
6. I watched as background noise while doing my chores. I didn't pay much attention to it because it was so dull. It would have been better if it finished in 20-24 episodes instead of 30.
Overall, it was very boring, where I walked away doing chores or FF it. I give it a 5.0 rating. This type of story should not be made into drama. It was all about eating and hanging out with no substance.

Started cute and quick became boring with no real plot development
Watching this for Lu Wei but his acting chops cannot save this snooze fest drama. I continued watching for him + to see if there would be more plot development to add some excitement to this story which gets blander each episode. The chemistry started out cute and fluffy but quickly turned repetitive having the same dating/flirting scenes for 20+episodes with some VERY cringy PDA and public love confession. Female lead character has not developed at all - still like a high school kid, with that baby talk voice. Leo’s intense acting - those whispered dialogues and penetrating gaze that were effective for his LLTG role! - are sometimes an overkill in his scenes for this drama or perhaps it could have worked if FL can match that energy. Still want to finish this but I fast fwd a lot of boring scenes. Good watch if you like cute relaxed drama with no real conflicts to spice up the story.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

unrealistic romance
Seeing so many (+) score/review for this drama, my review will be on the negative scale. For me this drama talked so much about unrealistic romance that I don’t really hope still on our screen in 2024... Let's discuss drama...As usual the (+) point first:
+ The cute chemistry between Leo Wu & Zhao Jin Mai. I like their chemistry, feel like long admirer finally meet & fall in love
+ The trust between Lin Yi Yang (LY) and Yin Guo (YG). They really trust each other. Although there's a little jealousy but it never effected their relationship.
+ The respect LY give YG. When they haven't told their relationship to YG's family, LY never announced the world about their relationship, even when the microphone literally already in front of his mouth. Haha....
+ No love rival or stupid unfair competitior
Overall this quite good drama, with unrealistic romance & a little boring in the middle of the drama. Now below the unrealistic romance that I mean with a little bit spoiler. Read with ur own risk...
================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
================================
The unrealistic romance in the drama:
- They just start the relationship, yet LY was already shared his financial with YG. I know this to make a point LY was decided already that YG will gonna be his wife & he trust her 100%. But that's not the reality of our life... And sometimes it's even dangerous in RL, put ur trust in someone that much.
- LY change his whole life just to be with YG. I'm happy he finally let go his ego & re-join the sport, reconnected with his teacher & mend his past. But when a man just make big decision like that just base on want to be closer with the girl it just unrealistic.... I know that's maybe also the time LY to return too...
- A little too much romance. Haha... I know we women love this kind of romance, like what LY gave YG, but that's put the bar of romance a little too high for the man in RL. And that's for me just giving the wrong impression about how woman should be treated (with all the romance stuff) from their man. I know this maybe just my prejudice. Furthermore LY also give us good examples how to treat woman too....
- Too easy to collected the money. Haha... It's just my prejudice against how money or job works in this world. But I still thinks it's a little bit too easy for LY to collected money at that short of time. He manage to rent a place in china for open billiard room, buy apartment in the city where he & YG met. That's a lot of money in short of time... Is it really that easy to get money from billiard competition & also that much...?

Fabulous Drama
This was excellent first time around but even better second time. A glorious Love story with 2 stunning leads. I Would never have though Billiards would be a setting for a great Love story. The Leads Chemistry was Superb. A great Match indeed. Nice Story in a Fabulous setting. So atmospheric. The support cast was also wonderful. This must be one of the most successful dramas of the year. The Light and Shine song is embedded inside my brain. It is so lovely. Once is not enough to hear it. Leo Wu who is only 23 is incredible. I have seen him in in many dramas and he is growing so brilliantly. Such a great talent. I loved him in 'Sphere, Break and disappointed he did not play lead in the Sequel. Cannot give enough praise for this truly sweet, wholesome Drama. I am puzzled though at how Chinese and Korean Dramas insist on wearing street clothes in Bed. Also there are few Leads who actually do realistic kisses. Recently there have been many Chinese Dramas with Female leads who act either like morons, have squeaky voices or are selfish egotisis. So when we get a really good Drama it is worth taking note, They make some excellent ones too. After exhausting most of the Korean Dramas I moved on to Chinese ones , which I love.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

1st rewatch in years
There’s something with the way this story is told that is addictive… the acting was so on point. And Zhao Jinmai is amazing… she provided the innocence and the sweetness.Or perhaps it was refreshing efficient, there werent any stuffer episodes, the length was good.
The music was on point. The shots in a foreign country gave it a kdrama feel, which I didn’t mind at all, they do a good job of making you feel romance and youth.
Basically, it was a hero’s journey laced with a ton of sweetness and relatable nostalgia. So good!

Hands Down, this is the romance i need in my life
Never in my wildest dreams did i expect to rate a romance drama 10/10.This is love at first sight series where i loved everything about it from start till the end. I have always wanted to watch a series that gives warmth, butterflies, relationship goals and this gave me more than what i wanted.
LinYiyang and YinGao are super cute together and the story lines was smooth and love how they admired , respected and loved each other. This is a cutie patootie series where i can watch every episode again and again on loop.
Every character is this drama is so lovable and warm, didnot skip a single second and the OST's are soo good and swoon worthy. I just cant express how much i loved watching this. Xioa Dong, Jiang Yang and Wu Wei stole my heart. I have'nt found any drama that solely concentrates on the main leads, their story and their growth yet giving equal importance and development to every important character.
I can keep going on and on about this i dont think i will get over it in like a week . They are by far the sweetest, cutest and lovely couple i have ever watched.

Drama with no story
To summarize this drama: food, kisses, cuddles, and matches against overly friendly competitors where the Main Leads obviously win.The storyline lacks depth and progression. Even if you skip a few episodes, you won't miss anything as the plot remains stagnant throughout. The repetitive nature of each episode, with the Main Leads romancing in almost every scene, makes it feel like the drama could have been completed in just 8 episodes. I regret wasting my time watching it.

it's a masterpiece, drama of the year
it's a really good drama. I loved their way of supporting each other, this whole storyline is good. I really loved the ost and what I loved the most was the acting and the story. I laughed and I cried hard so be ready for some crying but it ends really good. like happy ending. I felt butterflies in every episode and I loved the pace of it, it wasn't too fast nor too slow. I would definitely recommend this to literally anyone whether they watch dramas or no. overall, really nice drama, worth the watchVond je deze recentie nuttig?
