Amidst a Snowstorm of Love

Based on a novel with the same title by Mo Bao Fei Bao, It's a slow burn romantic c-drama in the backdrop of billiards/ snooker game. Where Yin Guo, a billiards prodigy, gets stranded with Lin Yi Yang during a snowstorm at a tournament. They bond, revealing Yi Yang's forgotten billiards fame. Yin Guo's passion reignites Yi Yang's drive for professional billiards.

Chinese tv dramas are slow paced that's why drama takes 4-5 episodes to warm-up. There is an underlying romantic tone to it. Drama doesn't rush to romantic gestures but lingers on stolen glances, staring and hesitation, letting the audience marinate into the emotional core.

Drama filmed across Finland, France and China beautifully. Directors extracted good performance from leads. Drama has Perfect lead casting. Though both lead actors are younger than the character they played on screen, they have given amazing performances. They are adorable and cute together. Couple has many romantic scenes. It's swoon-worthy, charming and simply romantic.

Other characters are lovable too but they all are one dimensional.

This drama had a potential to be best but remained good due to dragged episodes and slow pacing. Upto 18 episodes it's very good but later unnecessarily dragged. Billiards scenes are managed very well. Many things happen as per convenience of course.

Many problems get solved quickly.

It could have been Deeper conversation and friendship, bonding between friends.

All in all, I had a great time watching and rewatching it.

I'll cherish it forever.

Watching this drama was comforting, heartwarming, satisfying experience for me.

The drama has an adorable on-screen couple.

Their offscreen chemistry just reflected on-screen fantastically, I guess.

They compliment each other so well that they scream 'you are single' at you each time in a romantic scene.

The couple has many romantic scenes but are less passionate or spicy, they remain cute, adorable till the end.

Their lovestory spanned through many countries, time zones, years and hardships.

She is the one who made him return to his roots, made him realise his reality, made him passionate about his life again, who was stuck in his life path, just floating around.

Their could be more deeper Convo between leads, specially from FL side.

FL's character has less development arch than ML. Apart from her relationship development with YiYang, she remains the same till the last episode, a little immature, shy, timid (sometimes it's frustrating) sometimes childish but a cutie pie. It's annoying to see her shyness when a Lin Yiyang type of Green forest guy is pursuing you but she has more control on herself.

They both portrayed their character really well, they look so beautiful together.

They'll remain my favourite on-screen couple forever for sure.

I adore, love and cherish them.

Oh!! What should I say about this man. Lin Yiyang, is the star of the show. Female writer put so much depth and arch into this fictional man and Wu Lie aka Leo portrayed it beautifully. Writer's main focus remains on Yiyang only that's why we get such sparkling Green forest with golden leaves floating around, a fictional guy who is hard to find in real life.

Lin Yiyang is arrogant, cold, quiet, diligent, decisive, determined, proud, sometimes impulsive and cocky, an introverted, reserved, less talkative, sigma person.

But he fell in love at first sight. Smitten by her, He becomes a total simp, total pookie. He could easily go to war for her.

It might seem like small sweet gestures but His brain cells are wired in such a way to give her every comfort, care and love. It's a part of his DNA, He doesn't need to think about it.

He is cute, hot and green forest coded.

Full marks to Wu Lie aka Leo for portraying this character amazingly on screen in such young age.

Leo is just 25, drama might be filmed when he is probably 23 yr old. But he portrayed old (5-8 yr) and mature character than his age.

After some research found out Leo is doing acting since childhood, played various characters. This actor has a bright future.

His face card is amazing that I keep missing the subtitles sometimes From bts scenes, you can see, he has worked really hard for billiards scenes. Make himself an expert. Director also did fine job with leads.

Lin Yiyang has a special place in my hall of favourite characters.
