I just finished watching this Snowstorm of love drama, and I absolutely loved it. This drama is so different from the usual C-drama that I've watched of Rich CEO ML and poor/naive FL. This drama is so light, fresh, no drama, no petty misunderstandings, no evil third wheels that tried to break them up, so I quite enjoy watching it and there's everything that I see for in a light romantic drama, there's chemistry between the leads, there's friendships, there's brotherhood that support each other and has equal love for one other not like other typical dramas where the supporting roles are always shown as below the ML .

I agree. It’s hard to come by a romantic drama being so light and subtle and then building up more as time passes. By not having plots with unnecessary clashes among characters actually make the experience of watching it better. May be Wu Lei character got some tormented issue a little about his past but that all ends in heartwarming note. So I say the story is successful in deliver what it promises. It’s one of the most enjoyable dramas I’ve seen.

I’m loving this show and I agree that it’s a breath of fresh air from the norm. Also, it’s a 30 episode drama so there’s PLENTY of show left for the story to really unfold.

I enjoyed both of these dramas. Amidst the Snowstorm is a cute and uncomplicated love story. Sometimes I just need these, no angst, no misunderstanding. These are 2 people are talented but inexperienced in the love dept. She's only 21 yrs old and he's for yrs dedicated to his craft and his studies so they seem awkward, which is understandable. As for Fighting for Love, I like the relationship between the 2 leads. She needs to do what she needs to avenge her family. He wanted to take care of her but had to let her fight her battles and move up the rank. So far I have no complaints and plans to finish both. These are better options than what was aired in Jan for sure.

Imo, the drama is boring. There's no story. Lol. Just them hooking up. The snooker subplot is just an excuse to pretend the drama is exciting. Wu Lei and Zhao Jinmai make a super cute couple...but the drama is dull...bland. The drama isn't even popular in China. Only 60k raters on Douban. Seeing how popular the drama is outside of China, I thought it was going to be similar in china. Even Love Endures (a drama with a very specific niche) has over 100k raters. I hope to see Wu Lei and ZJM in better dramas, especially ZJM.

to me Amidst a Snowstorm of Love is my top C-drama in the start of 2024 so far, base on storyline and characters in this drama . Yes it just another cliché romance drama and at first ep I thought I was going to drop it but strangely enough the more I watch it the more I like it. They're just simple couple in relationship, not way too cringe or too exaggerated of any extraordinary people, I find it somehow relate table in real life . I read and watch many toxic both novel and drama recently, so this drama is such a refreshing of people in relationships to me (they are likeable ) that's my POV of course people have different opinions. I am actually a bit skeptical about C modern drama overalls...sorry but I found most of them are childish idol drama, and overrated. I think this drama is better than LOVE ME LOVE MY VOICE (which I dropped it) it's just a bit boring to me (not about the quality of filming production)

At first I agreed that this drama verges on "boring" as it does not have any excitement to it, and like Avenue X said, there is endless texting. The male lead is a taciturn character - that is why there is not much conversation. Then I read the translated novel and realised that it is almost an exact replica...apart from the cut away, censored scenes. Well, well, well. I love seeing this pair. Especially marvel at Wu Lei, how manly he has now become, ever since his Nirvana days. And our dear actress from Reset, how pretty & refreshing she looks. The amount of censorship poses a problem..it makes certain conversations out of whack. Anyway, I will just read the novel & enjoy what's left of the drama. It is stress-less, a suitable drama for CNY😂 The final episodes of the drama are much better because the focus shifts to the si fu of the male lead, parents, old bonds & ties. This drama would have been much more popular & ranked much higher with a better script. The fluff - texting ,etc could have been cut down by 50%, and angst introduced to that amazing chemistry between the 3 top male players, male lead's return, as well as the parents' side

Shame you didn't like Amidst the Snowstorm of Love, I enjoyed it. Like others have said, it's refreshingly free of unnecessary drama, the leads actually communicate, their relationship is healthy and it's just a joy to watch. It's quite close to real life, except some certain parts of it, as you've pointed out, the others are there to push these two characters together but towards the end you do see that the other characters have their own struggles and dreams. Anyway, it's very relaxing and beautiful to watch. Maybe it's not for everyone, and maybe you need to be in the mood for it and I'm glad I was when I started it. When you want something mellow, quiet, yet heart fluttering (Leo can really do longing love gaze very well) give this a try.

Started Fighting for Love, and it's actually decent so far, so I'm hoping it doesn't crash.

TBH while both leads are talented actors in their own right, I would not choose either of them for just a romance-driven role. Angel Zhao is better in suspense or slice-of-life dramas - I think she has a good career in more indie type dramas/movies. Leo Wu would be better in more action driven drama. At least pair one of them with another lead who can do romance well and can generate the chemistry to make up for lack of plot (Zhao Lusi, Chen Zhe Yuan). If you want to see a really well done drama that mostly focuses on romantic love between leads - that would be Hidden Love. I think ZLS and CZY knocked it out of the park with that one. The other one with Seven Tan and JingBoran - again I really liked both actors and Seven can pull off romance but it was a slog to get through to the end.

The plot is love and how you start courtship. How to try to do things especially when you find your first love and you have ZERO experience, where every small thing you do to progress the interaction it is seen as a huge victory. If you already had your first love you will probably see the resemblance with what happened to you and how you perceived things and if you didn't it is a win because it helps you identify some cues that someone is interested in you and it is not only in your head.

Yes, this drama is incredibly boring, but I think what made it impossible to continue for me was it was SO awkward. It didn't give me the cute-awkward vibes of two shy people who are clearly interested in one other (if anyone has watched the Kdrama Do You Like Brahms?, for me that was awkwardness done right), but came off more as two people who have zero chemistry and barely know each other but somehow keep finding themselves in situations where they have to interact. I was cringing from second-hand embarrassment the whole time I was watching.

I am probably biased to judge this drama since I really like Wu Lei. But honestly, (not trying to be rude but) you seem a bit too old for Snowstorm of Love. The general target audience of this drama seems to be young adults since the main characters are texting often and they act like their love is bigger than anything else in the universe around them. Immature or not. It doesn't seem that far-fetched to act like this in your first relationship. I'm a 22 yr old who has never dated and this drama seems very refreshing to me. The awkwardness and romantic tension between them is really enjoyable to me but the plot really does pick up very slowly. Personally, I'm okay with slow if the couple is worth it. And here I am (maybe biased) but very much enjoying the main couple.

The Snowstorm is good. In the opposite, don’t like the film with too much filter, prefer more natural filming just like seeing with your eyes. The ML may be a little stiff, but that’s his depressed introverted character affected by his early life which is depicted well. FL is one of the best Chinese actresses who can display the natural affection others can’t do. 😂

Accidentally saw a Fighting For Love highlight video the other day..watched it & I thought it looks good (& yes, it's funny) & got me watching a few more highlights. I personally like the color grading and the production seems not bad. After checking the reviews here, feel like giving this period drama a try.

If you haven’t seen the other dramas she mentioned or that are similar, it’s a good watch but when you’ve seen several like this one before unfortunately Amidst falls short. I like both actors immensely, they are known to be able to work well w their costars but I’ve seen Leo (who has more professional experience) having better on screen chemistry w other FL. And it’s true there is nothing that says it’s Finland, they could have used CGI. And the character development falls short. And loved seeing the growth on FL from previous works. They are both incredible actors.

Those in X are WuLei fans talking 😅. Here it is passerbys talking. Not much impression in X too abt this drama ,outside his fan circle. Can't blame anyone becoz drama is very boring. - not sure why ML is staring at the girl like some mental issue , it doesn't look romantic,somewhat irritating. Girl is very young & guy is kissing her full time - pls give her some time to think - everything is answered by kisses - basically he doesn't have deep feelings ,it's very superficial love.

@@Florals855...so staring at someone you're attracted to is a mental issue, especially when you're someone who is an introvert? Girl. Are you a rock? Nevermind, you're a Wu Lei hater. Makes sense now. And, again, the girl is a 21 year-old adult. There are plenty of dramas out there with younger lead characters who do kissing scenes.

@@divinearia1601 I'm not anyone's hater . WuLei acting is slightly off which is the reason why I mentioned it . He was just strung into the girl and it looked problematic.

"No longer fresh though still edible" what an apt and precise definition for Snowstorm, I made myself watch to the end of the first episode, thinking, it can't be so dull, it can't be so boring, any minute now it will change. But it didn't. Everything from the story through everybody's acting, felt artificial and without purpose. I watched to the end of the episode out of respect to Wu Lei and Zhao Jinmai, but this is as far as I would go.

I heard so many people praise snowstorm and it had everything I liked - in theory. I started it with high expectations and the leads were okay but I just can’t point out why it didn’t work for me and I had to drop it on ep 4. I was incredibly bored, constantly skipped or watched at 2x speed. It’s fine though, we don’t have to force ourselves into watching something.

For me, in Amidst a Snowstorm of Love (forward watching it up to 10 eps) the plot doesn’t give me any idea of what to look forward to. Like what could be so entertaining with two people so in love since day 1 in foreign land?? I’m not against love at first sight, it could happen! Really! But it’s a drama and I need some fun watching they are in love as human. How the girl keeps decoding the meaning of his gesture? Like We can see it already, we understand. You don’t need to voicing it all through her mind as well!! worst the background as professional pool players? It’s so lacking, male lead literally was a legend player but remains like the best despite of leaving his club years ago and moving on with life. while the fl supposedly trained all her life by her famous player cousin, but somehow so distracted by her interaction with a guy she just met for a week or two. She basically just started her practice when her phone rang. Like, remember what you came here for, girl!! Lastly, honestly I find the ml’s constant long stare, more like watching her every move, like his eyes are some laser. More scary dan creepy, than romantic or anything a guy in his 27 would do. Such eyes were ok for his character on The Long Ballad as Ashile Sun, but it’s totally off here😭😭 it’s crazy how his eyes always on her whenever she is around!!

Amidst the snowstorm of Love is super boring. It could be a good drama it they would cut it in like 8-10 episodes. This way it takes forever until they start dating (and like literally nothing happens there, so there is actually no reason for the slow start). And also I felt to sorry for the passage when they go on the solo trip and we don't get to see any of the beautiful Northern nature. Was that just a commercial for the car or wtf? 😅 Why is there too many shots of them "being in the car, then riding the car etc."? This could be happening in China or anywhere else in the world 😑 I guess I'll finish it, but like 1.5 speed or skipping all the boring stuff... 😂

Amidst a Snowstorm of Love , drama is "Feel Good", a cute romantic love story. it's not a grand high-profile series and is not complicated with twists and turns. both leads meet in FINLAND in a foreign country, Both lead characters and personalities are detailed depending on their situation & background they are coming from. our FL/ ML are shy people, FL is just 21 years old, taking her time and space to understand, and going slow at the beginning of relation is more relatable to me at least.

Snowstorm is lacking in moments of conflict and movement that would lead to two people falling in love... or deciding to be with one another... but then again.. sometimes for some people it is just that simple indeed... I actually liked how they portrayed the awkwardness between the two leads... that chats (in agreement with you) did get extremely monotonous tho... I am liking it better after the two characters got together... episode 16 was pretty okay I think.. but the side characters are yet to be established and even the story other than the fact that they fall in love is yet to be established (in that it is yet to show signs of a plot)... it is a pretty feel good drama though and I like both the lead actors a lot.. so I'll stick to it nevertheless :)

Well for me I love the subtlety of ATSOL. I always want to watch this kind of drama that there is no such thing as evil or super evil antagonist. If you want to be relax and just feel in love this drama is for you, so this is for me.❤ I love the little scenes how they fell in love with each other and the electricity that they were imparting with those intimate scenes,whoa, Leo Wu is such a great actor. He just needs to be a little mature wc goes with age so he will be really perfect with any kind of romantic drama. And Angel Zhao is such an angel and both of them are really good in acting; acting with their facial actions. These two obviously come from drama academy. I need them to be in a more intense script , script that will bring them to award giving body. Actually i love Yang Zi but I preferred watching ATSOL than LE of YZ and FCC but i also love to watch it, hehehe.
