Romance of the year!!!!!! What!?

This is one of the best shows ever this year an easy number 1!

When I started of this show I didn’t expect much at all then as it went to the bar scene when he saw her for the first time wow I got absolutely chills I mean the way he looks at her through out this show is insane. The male lead is one of the greenest flag I’ve ever seen the way he tries so hard to make sure she is good even though he has nothing is incredible.

Throughout this show we see their love story, friendships , family dynamics and how it changes from how it was in the beginning to a different and stronger bond in the end. Now were there moments that I cried? Yes oh wow and those moments where I was literally crying was so wholesome this show was beyond good. I do feel it should have been 36 episodes instead of 30 it felt rushed at the end and we didn’t see the second lead couple story in full but overall good.

It is a definitely must watch it will exceed your expectations and more everything was beautiful I love the female lead and how she handled everything showing up for him and being there for him without her giving up her dreams but sharing each others dreams.

If you must do something this year it is definitely to watch this show Amidst a snowstorm of love!!!!

Pure romance.

It was a very warm and touching drama to watch. Through this drama you could feel the love grow stronger through them. The caring and love they had for each other and the sport, both hidden and the open. I give it a 10/10 on all cuz it’s worth watching. It’s not like the other dramas where you have a 2L stuck on one or both side trying to destroy the relationship between 1L. This is a pure drama that gives you butterflies from the start to end, leave you with a smile on your mouth, tears of joy, tears of sadness. This won’t be a drama that will be forgotten that easily.

A beautiful wintery romance drama that’s going to warm up your heart♥️

This drama was very slow at the beginning. It took me a while to get over the first 2 to 3 episodes but after that it was a delight to watch. The romance between the two main leads were a slow burn and you got to experience the excitement of being confessed, to the first time touching hands, first kiss and all the awkwardness between a couple when they first start dating. Watching this drama made me feel I’m experiencing dating and I’m experiencing my first times too.

When it comes to the story too it was really great. I love a good story where there’s no major plot twists or character breakups and villains. This drama was so enjoyable to watch as it was easy going and nothing to make you feel sad or anxious. You can watch this drama knowing that there’s not going to big surprises in the plot.

Characters wise overall it was good. I feel as the two main leads, Yin Guo and Lin Yiyang had good character development and both their storylines were well written and played out. Even the secondary characters such as Meng Xiaodong and Jiang Yang had a good storyline although I really wish the ending for them would be a different than how it originally ended. I don’t want to spoil too much but I wish the story didn’t include that 3 year jump in the last episode as I feel for me personally it kept me wondering what happened during those 3 years and then it the story just ended. Although the ending was happy and a good ending I feel like it could have ended in a better way. Not in terms of the main characters, they had a good ending however the secondary characters such as Jiang Yang and Meng Xiaodong could have had a better ending. Other than that this drama was beautiful to watch.

I do have to also comment about the scenery in this drama. It was so beautiful to see that majority of this drama was shot in Finland and wow the places in Finland is so beautiful and breathtaking. The snowy atmosphere and being shot in the winter season added more feeling to the drama.

Overall, it was a beautiful drama to watch and I would recommend this drama to anyone who is interested in a light romance drama that’s going to make you feel excited and warm. I still can’t stop thinking about this drama. I got so attached to the characters and there stories that I wish it didn’t end. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this drama and I know for sure I would keep coming back for Chinese drama as it’s definitely in my list for a light romance watch.

Must Rewatch!

Love love love this cdrama. So much so that I stayed up all night to binge the last 8 eps because I couldn’t stop watching. I will rewatch this cdrama again soon. I would put it right up there with L&P and Go Go Squid. The actors and the storyline in this cdrama didn’t disappoint. LYY and his facial expressions were on point. You could read a lot into his lingering glares. The chemistry between the ML and FL was amazing. I wished that the storyline with Lin Lin and MXD was explored. MXD should’ve gone on that last trip. He was so critical to their relationship development. Who did JY end up with? What happened to little brother Tian? Maybe there will be a spin-off as the storyline with Lin Lin and MXD story deserves to be told imo.

HOW DO I MOVE ON?????????

I thought I had seen and felt it all with Hidden Love. But no...this masterpiece was just lying in waiting, gearing up to bombard me with emotions I had no idea I had the capacity to feel.

First of WU LEI, the man that you are😫😫. How does he do this? How does he play a character so good you'e left wanting more? Let's not even talk about the man's expressive eyes...

Most CDramas have an avalanche of red flags, toxicity, misunderstanding and an ex somewhere who's richer than Midas and has got legs for miles. It gets frustrating to be honest. But, here is a drama with zero red flags... none. Even the love rivals are too hard to hate, they're actually relatable. No stupid love triangles. No agonizing family feuds and parental influence.

There's not a single moment I spent on hating anyone while watching this, and it was refreshing, which made this all the more enjoyable.

THE BROMANCE PEOPLE THE BROMANCE! Had me wishing I was a man so I could have amazing man friends who'd do anything for me. Like how are they so close after years of separation and being each other's competition????? Their relationship made me tear up honestly.

The drama was such a wonderful way to bring the largely ignored games mainstream; had me wishing I could hold a cue stick without threatening to disembowel anyone in my immediate vicinity, so I could go to games and look all sexily formal with a secret boyfriend cheering me from the stands...yes folks...the delulu is deluluing.

On to the golden point in this review. The CHEMISTRY. The leads had the sparks flying so hard I was third-wheeling a freaking on-screen couple. The eye contact, the COMMUNICATION, the little acts of service, the secret visits and touches!!!!!! Argggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I need me a Lin Yi Yang. I need to be courted as Yin Guo did. Fuck asking me out with flowers or chocolate, text me declaring your intentions while we do laundry😣😣

All in all, this is a must-watch. And it had me reviving my online dating profiles because even if I'm done being single this introverted idiot can't talk to anyone face to face without having a panic attack or babbling like a fool, let alone a man.

So cute!

This was a really nice drama. The main couple was very cute, and they had a lot of chemistry between them. Seeing them together put a smile on my lips. I loved them.
Overall, I found the story a bit slow at times, but I liked how the plot developed. It had no major conflicts beyond the romantic story and the personal growth of the protagonists, mainly the ML, who had to overcome some problems from the past.
The only thing I didn't like was that it seemed like she was always dodging his kisses, even though they had a long, solid relationship. That frustrated me a little. I don't know if this was because of the age rating of the series or because the actors are too young. Anyway, I think that "turning the lips away" so many times was unnecessary; showing the tender interaction between the two of them was enough.
I liked the other characters as well and I enjoyed learning about snooker in Asia.

opinioni contrastanti, le mie

allora, partiamo col dire una cosa importante, se vi piacciono serie slice of life/dove succede poco, ecco questa serie fa esattemante per voi, se invece amate l’azione vi sconsiglio di cominciarla, anche perché è vero che c’è il quadro sportivo che è molto interessante, ma viene rilegato in secondo piano rispetto ai valori di amore, amicizia e fedeltà verso un club, di conseguenza qualsiasi ambientazione sportiva poteva funzionare e anche le gare, a parte l’ultima non ti fanno provare quell’ansia che invece si prova in altre serie che ho visto. bene, ora passiamo alle cose che mi sono piaciute:
1. mi è piaciuta l’ambientazione in un mondo sportivo (quello del biliardo) un po’ di nicchia rispetto al normale, ma è una cosa che ho notato spesso nelle serie cinesi. credo che parte sia associata ad un senso di orgoglio nazionale che li porta a creare serie con qualsiasi sport possibile, purché si facciano risaltare bei valori nazionali (e sono felicemente anche sorpresa da questo fatto perché le serie occidentali hanno quattro ambienti sportivi, nell’ordine, basket, baseball, football e calcio)
2. la loro storia d’amore. mi è piaciuta sia come è stata costruita sia come si è sviluppata. mi è piaciuta come questo amore li abbia fatti crescere, abbia permesso al ML di diventare migliore di quello che era prima e abbia aiutato la FL a diventare più confident in se stessa e nelle sue capacità
3. mi è piaciuta la FL: molte volte le FL cinesi sono troppo childish, mentre lei no, sa chi è e sa quello che vuole (infatti l’attrice ha anche interpretato un’altra protagonista che ho amato in Reset, super consigliato, fra parentesi) e l’unica cosa che forse le serve è qualcuno che sia sempre al suo fianco e che comprenda il suo amore per il biliardo.
4. il ML. è praticamente una GREEN FOREST (non flag) e anche il fatto che si sia dimostrato a volte vulnerabile me lo ha proprio reso piacevole (poi vabbeh, mi piace l’attore, che è pure mio coetaneo)
5. lo spirito di camaraderie che si vede sia fra i giocatori delle singole “squadre” che durante la competizione internazionale quindi con la squadra cinese al completo, ma sapevo mi sarebbe piaciuto perché questo spirito di camaraderie è qualcosa che vedo spesso nelle serie e che mi piace molto.
6. l’amicizia fra i tre massimi giocatori di biliardo. questa condivide poi un punto che non mi è piaciuto pure, ma per quelli a dopo. anche se alla fine sono rivali fra di loro e si ritrovano a combattere sul verde tavolo di biliardo la scena alla fine della 29 puntata dove si fanno fare la foto tutti assieme è forse una delle più carine della serie (o anche quando Meng Xiao Dong va a trovare Jiang Yang subito dopo l’intervento è molto carina come scena).

bene passiamo alle cose che non mi sono piaciute:
1. la lentezza. allora, capiamoci perché capiamoci: Meet Yourself è una delle mie serie preferite ed è un po’ l’epitomo del “prendiamocela con calma” come serie quindi non ho problemi con le serie lente, solo che vorrei ci fosse dell’organicità in questa lentezza e non che in alcuni punti sembra vada tutto di fretta per poi rallentare di colpo, avere flashforward di qualche tempo, per poi rallentare di nuovo di botto… dopo una prima parte molto coerente con se stessa, la seconda (letteralmente dopo che lui torna in Cina) sembra tutta un flashforward - pausa - flashforward - pausa. ecco io preferisco le cose, che ok, lente, ma linearmente lente o con degli step temporali ben caratterizzati (tipo Hospital Playlist, per intenderci).
2. e ora arriva il tasto dolente. allora, partiamo da due piccoli preamboli: io amo la bromance, the untamed è letteralmente la mia serie preferita in assoluto e non la cambierei in una romance per nulla al mondo, quindi quando farò questo commento non prendetelo come un “ah, lei vede i BL, quindi vede coppie gay ovunque”, va bene. e secondo non vedo perché se ci sono due coppie automaticamente la seconda coppia deve comunque essere fra i main lead se alla fine uno dei due della second couple lo/la si vede molto poco. terzo, so che essendo una serie cinese, se fosse stata fatta una serie slash sarebbe scomparsa dalla faccia della terra nel giro di due minuti. quindi fatte tutte le premesse del caso ecco che vi dirò il forse vero punto dolente della serie per me: la second couple e il rapporto fra Meng Xiao Dong e Jiang Yang. allora, il problema con la second couple è che compare a caso, la si vede a caso e ha letteralmente meno screen time della bromance fra Meng Xiao Dong e Jiang Yang. a sto punto potevano togliere la second couple e lasciare solo una bromance fra i due. poi ripeto, per me avrebbe avuto più senso che i due si mettessero assiemo punto fine stop. poi, come ho detto nella premessa so che è impossibile viste le vigenti regole sulla censura, ma lo avrei ritenuto più calzante rispetto a questa cosa con Meng Xiao Dong e Lin Lin che sembra non avere ne capo ne coda (parentesi poi, mi chiedo come mai Lin Lin sia considerata un main character quando Jiang Yang mi sembra molto più un main character di lei). alllora, ho visto altre serie, con anche più coppie di questa e devo dire che comunque tutte queste coppie avevano comunque più screen time di quella che tecnicamente doveva essere la second couple. ripeto la bromance fra i due ha avuto se non più, lo stesso amount of screen time.

per il resto è carina, si fa vedere anche in fretta, quindi consigliata

Romance delicinha!

A China está apresentando cada vez mais dramas de romance que valem muito serem vistos. Depois de Hidden Love (Amor Oculto) o sarrafo ficou alto. Mas muitos estão seguindo uma linha parecida bem interessante. Foi outro bom drama chinês que assisti depois de um Amor Oculto
Aquela boa e velha história clichê mas muito bem construída de amor e superação que aqueceu meu coração. É daqueles dramas com construção bem lenta bem água com açúcar que para quem gosta como eu, é prato cheio. O enredo, embora familiar, foi executado com uma boa falta dos velhos clichês de romance. Não havia ex-namorados, nem triângulos amorosos, nem personagens secundários irritantes para desviar a atenção do romance central. Não sei como foi recebido na China, mas eu fã internacional aqui do Brasil, adorei.
No entanto, achei que eles se concentraram muito nos protagonistas e se esqueceram dos personagens secundários. E eram tantos talentos que poderiam ter sido mais explorados e ficaram esquecidos na construção. Eu simplesmente amei Jiang Yang e Meng Xiao Dong interpretados por Chen Ji Ke e Wang Xing Yue. Em vez disso, o foco permaneceu diretamente na evolução do relacionamento dos protagonistas, Leo Wu vivendo o maravilhoso Yin Guo e a belíssima Lin Yi Yang sendo vivenciada pela atriz Zhao Jin Mai. Os dois juntos, deram um verdadeiro show de atuação, mostrando uma química insana e uma interpretação fluida.
Um destaque importante foi o cenário deslumbrante de locais estrangeiros, filmados predominantemente na Finlândia. Mesmo com a transição da história de volta para a China, os locais escolhidos mantiveram seu charme diferenciando dos demais dramas chineses.
Coisas que me incomodaram: Eles retrataram o personagem de Yin Guo muito pura e tímida, que achei em certos momentos até exagerado considerando a idade da personagem e também por ser uma mulher viajada que conhece outras culturas. É estranho que ela se esquive do beijo 90% das vezes.

Acosy, warm and lovely story.

The first thing that stands out it's the cast, which is conformed by some of the hottest and most talented young chinese actors nowadays, which includes Wu Lei, Zhao Jinmai, Wang Xing Yue, Chen Jing Ke and Wang Run Ze just to name a few.

I think this drama it's a good choice for their careers as they are able to deliver more quiet, subdue and nuance performances in comparison to melodramatic historical stories. Amidst a Snowstorm of Love it's more on the mature and calm side of Dramaland, something that I really appreciated.

This is a soft-spoken story, a mirror to our leads' personality and relationship. There are no grand gestures, insurmountable challenges, or family opposition. Instead we find, front and center, a story about love, friendship and personal growth.

Tien Jen Huang and Yu Bo knew what they were doing. I am guessing Amidst a Snowstorm of Love had two directors because half of the dramas was filmed outside of China, and they had to combine filming styles of storytelling, rhythms and aesthetics, among other practical and technical things. Both teams did wonderful, maintaining the same leve of production through the entirety of the show.

If I have to mention something that bothers me, it would be the sport side of the story which inevitably ends on the characters trying to get to the Olympics. I like it more when the story focuses on their growth as people through their personal relationships. But this is a minor point in a bigger story that it's perfectly cosy, warm and lovely.

I recommend it.
