its worth the watch. its a real, and easy romance w no drama.
first i want to say, this show is DEFINITELY worth the watch.to address concerns ppl have made, heres my take on them:
~~
lin yiyangs comeback to billiards, why didnt he struggle?
i think thats mainly due to a couple things. 1, he is a supposed genius. learning from a very young age, and competing and winning at a young age. 2. even tho he retired, he still kept up w the sport bc he loves it. he trained daily, owned a billiard room, and if yall forgot, he knew who yin guo was bc he was probably watching games. (in the beginning he had a pic of her playing from a game)
so if he is still knowledgeable, and trained, he wouldnt struggle. billiards is more so like chess, its based on moves from the table. so as long as he can get the results he needs to get points, he wouldnt struggle.
their kinship, ie, the FL shying away from his kinship.
some comments were like shes annoying, its been three years. 1. i think yall forget the age difference. 2. yiyang had no problem in showing PDA, but its obvious yin guo did. 3. in the beginning wouldnt yall be like her? they have been dating for years, but cmon now, theyre not together every single day, i would be shy too. i mean in the end even in her moments, she said she felt shy seeing him bc they were apart for so long. once theyre together when he comes back, i can see how yall would want her to accept more kisses and stuff, but like i said shes not into PDA. after all, her relationship was a secret from her family, she felt odd being physical around their team bc its their team, and hes already ranking, becoming the caption and leader of the club... while shes a rookie. i think she was supposed to genuinely feel shy abt their standings and their age difference. and in the scenes where they were alone, i think its bc shes shy abt where it would lead, bc ngl i got the feeling yiyang wanted to ... whenever he could lol. and it adds some spice to their lives. accepting every single kiss isnt mandatory, and whenever she rejected it, his face gave (to me) "omg i want to kiss her even more" like it couldve been just me but thats the face i saw on him. kinda like a "really? rejecting me? i want to kiss you so bad..."
comparing it to hidden love... weird.
if im being totally honest, these shows are the same. they focus on the main leads romance and relationship over any real problems. and any problems are solved fast, or are due to a misunderstanding thst ends up resolved w no real hesitation. the leads dont have major struggles and for the most part have no toxicity in their relationship. as a long time c drama watcher, these shows are very similar. so its weird that some are comparing it to hidden love and saying its worse than hidden love.
~~
yin guo and yiyang are an unproblematic couple. they both knew they were the one. amd were willing to go through anything together. they supported each other until the end, and gave the other everything they could. whether its just company and support, rankings, advice, love... just whatever they could offer.
this isnt a dramatic love story, not everyone has one. i think yall forget that. not everyone has an opposing family that does whatever they can to stop the relationship, or an ex that wants one back. some relationships are relaxing, simple and easy going like this one. it was real. thats why i liked it. bc if i think abt if this were me, my relationship would probably be like this. no real drama, no opposition, just going through life together. not everyone needs to be separated 10x, going through hell and back to realize they found the one. romance isnt like that. romance can be hard, but romance can be simple. and yiyang said it himself, he would adapt to yin guo. and he did, bc he loved her and he knew she would be his wife one day.

Fluttery sweetness all the way
I'm the author fan and I had to read the book before watching the drama. The book is so sweet and the drama made it even 200% sweeter. It's a fresh new topic, a new kind of hero. I really like Mo Bao Fei Bao's male lead characters. In case of Lin Yi Yang, though he seems to be poor and trapped in the past, his heroic charisma still shines through his actions. And Leo has perfectly portrayed the complex emotions of the character. Though Lin Yi Yang is a fool in love but what makes the story so sweet is how Yin Guo so bravely love him too. It's how they love each other that makes me read the book over and over again, and watch the drama over and over again too.It's awesome that the production quality is really high, unlike many other romcom C-drama. I was surprised to see that they actually filmed it in another country. I was so curious starting to read because the setting in the book is in New York. The production team is so brilliant in finding the locations and sets that match most of the original story (probably thanks to the investors). Plus I was impressed with people actually speaking some decent English, and foreign actors actually speak English (except for Berry, and in other dramas even foreigners speak like perfect Chinese). I highly appreciate this fact for the production team and the cast.
One last note but all of the male cast are so handsome hahaha, especially An Mei (idk why Yi Yang call him "mei"?) and Wu Wei whom I've never seen before.

A very qualified and sweet modern drama
EARLY REVIEW -Let me start off by saying I am loving the show so far....There is nothing wrong with it. I love the pace, love the cinematography. Love how good the dialogue is and how realistic the scenes are. The story is intriguing and chemistry is more than what I could ask for.
But hear me out, I have a problem with the characterizations. Especially the FL. She seems a bit..2D. The initial scenes where she books a hotel and says "I'm the mature one" made me think I have a lot to look forward to, only to be disappointed by what happened in almost every scene afterwards. She seems like a pretty, rich, protected girl who couldn't get a thing done on her own or have a thought of her own. I genuinely don't see her taking a decision about anything. She seems like the girl who acts pretty dumb and leads on every single guy and accepts every other act of love, only to leave them in the end for a better option. She verbally never confirmed the relation, whereas the poor ML flaunts her as his girlfriend everywhere he goes. When her friend asks "How is it gonna work long distance" she pretty much says "she didn't think about it" which is idk something a clueless school girl would say. She has no idea where it is going and mind you she is at a point in her life where she is figuring out her career.
I have some irks about the ML too. Like how has he never approached a girl before but brings his A game to the table? He almost acts cocky, like a person must have lived with a girl to gain such kind of confidence with those
I have watched till Episode 8 and my reaction started to change too.
Yes, it has been mostly nice so far but I am having trouble with the fact that they show the main leads as one-true-love but but… there is no strong basis for any of it. The leads have barely talked to each other. There has not been one decent conversation between them on ANY topic.
It still feels too ‘young love’ to me where it is all about chemical attraction. Why do you both like other so much? First couple of episodes, I was okay with it but in episode 7-8, the guy is constantly trying to touch her (which okay.. I get that you are madly attracted to her… and she seems into you) but she keeps running away and ya all have not really talked about ANYTHING. Please try to actually have a conversation.
Also, the guy is supposed to be shy and severe and the girl, too young and inexperienced but they are 27 and 21. Not that young. It is a bit hard to watch them behave like teenagers. It feels a bit inconsistent.
I think I would have even been okay if there wasn’t the constant…’I can’t help but lean in to try to kiss you’!
FINAL REVIEW -
A very qualified and sweet modern drama, I feel it's surpassing even the sweetness portrayed in the novel.
Especially the male lead Wu Lei, embodies my ideal type with his starry eyes, and captivating jawline, despite his youthfulness, he exudes a strong sense of masculinity.
Both leads deliver very stable performances that are both sweet and convincing. The plot avoids excessive melodrama and unnecessary separations to ensure audience satisfaction; it is a very decent drama.
Particularly noteworthy is Wu Lei's transformation into a truly sexy and charming character as he matures throughout the drama. His tender affectionate gaze towards the female lead deeply immerses me in their love story! He portrays an enamored boyfriend who longs for possession of his beloved woman.

Don't watch, you'll crave for more.
It only took me 6 mins to fall in love with this drama . The moment Lin Yiyang fell for Yin Guo at first sight, I really felt it. It's my 4th watch, but it feels like the 1st time watching it. This drama is like sipping a warm cup of coffee in a cold winter day & hugging a fluffy pillow while you sleep. The amount of butterflies they gave me from start to finish is ♾️. No toxic characters, unnecessary plot, it's a feel-good, cozy romance. It'll surely make you feel better if you're having a bad day.The chemistry of Wu Lei & Zhao Jinmai is palpable which I believe that made this drama even more heart-fluttering & addicting. I can't think of anyone who could portray Lin Yiyang & Yin Guo better. They're just perfect for the role.

Beautiful story with a Great cast
I really liked the story, about a man who lost himself on his was of Proud and pain. There were no misunderstanding and a pure love story. I really liked it so much. It was heart-Warming to Watch. And i really loved the side-characters. So why Not 10? I rarely give a 10. a 8.5 is very high, and i really enjoy every Moment of the Drama, but i think i will Not re-Watch the Show. I was addicted and now i am satisefied. Thanks for this Great Show. Wonderful Performance of the whole crew. ???Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
A simple love story
This is a love story, not a drama. Its been a nice change to watch a simple story with no big drama moments crazy charcters, no rich guy/poorgirl storyline, and no silly plotlines. Felt like was really watching a couple fall in love. ML and FL had great chemistry. The actor who plays Wu Wei kept giving me Lee Jae Wook vibes, they look so alike. Last 5 or so episodes dragged a bit. Hit the spot for me at this time after a having a run of dropping shows after the first few episodes.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Most romantic and unique C-drama
The ML is not famous and crowded by women or fans like other dramas and FL is also not childish,both have done a very beautiful mature acting.The drama is completely soothing and melodramatic.It was too sweet to ignore I could say.
I really can't believe i didn't watch this earlier.It is so so good.Its the most unique Chinese drama I have ever seen ,I mostly watch Korean but have seen a bit of Chinese but find them just too childish n lengthy,but this drama is completely different
The acting of both leads is so mature and beautiful,the chemistry is top spot and the foreign shooting,the soothing storyline is beautiful.
it's a must watch!!!

An unexpectedly good watch!!!
This is my first review so amma give a detailed one, the next ones... well let's see!!!I’m not a fan of romance dramas. They usually bore me with their predictable plots, clichéd characters, and repetitive. I was so shocked to find that, despite the plot's seeming a regularity, it has such a distinctive execution. It doesn't contain tropes like the annoying ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend, lead separations, irritating supporting characters, or family pressure.
Things that I liked:
- The relationship: Although I wish they added more rivalry between the teams it was nice seeing the brotherhood but it would've been nice if they gradually built that. I loved how there were no weird jealous side characters, no exes, and the healthy relationship b/w the leads.
- The Cinematography/Locations: The drama is further enhanced by the director's ability to capture the beauty of the countryside. In contrast to typical modern Chinese dramas, the foreign locales offer a distinct ambiance that gives each character a distinct visual appeal and a cinematic vibe. The locations have a certain allure that distinguishes it from other Chinese dramas. The cinematography was sophisticated and impressive, featuring various shots to highlight the nuances, and the snowy vistas further enhanced the already beautiful visuals. And OML THE OSTs were chefs kiss.
Things that put me off:
- The plot: It was disappointing that Meng Xiao Dong and Lin Lin 's love story wasn't concluded until the very end. I also did not like how Meng Xiao Dong was not present at the proposal when his relationship with the leads was so important. Additionally, I wish the drama had given viewers an explanation of the basic concepts of snooker, 8-ball, and 9-ball, because I had to literally google everything.
- Characters: The FL was alright, I wish the FL acted maturely, she pouted way too much for a 23 and/or 27??? year old. No offense... Especially, during that fight scene, I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the way she acted and then expected him to call when he hadn't done anything wrong. Like gurl... please act your age...
- Lack of communication regarding serious topics b/w the leads. They haven't communicated much or had any deep serious conversations about anything. As soon as am like finally they talking... nah they start kissing and this went on until the end of the drama, which gave their relationship no depth. During the first few eps the ml is constantly trying to touch her ... which okay they seem into each other but consent ... and she keeps running away.
- I cannot get those hosts out of my mind, like, while attempting to present a genuine competition on an international scale, transforming an international tournament into a dating show was cringe, unnecessary, and inappropriate.
Last but not least, despite its imperfections, Amid a Snowstorm of Love is the ideal blend of romance, friendship, and healthy relationships all around. The chemistry and casting were excellent. Idk what else to while ending... Thanks 4 reading!!!!
