2024 BEST ROMANCE DRAMA
The story line is very good, the location also very beautifullI love all the cast, main role and support role all are the best
The relationship progress between ML and FL indeed real for me, at least that what I feel when I first my boyfriend and now become my husband
and of course there is no perfect relationship, sometimes problem come and that's a test of how strong the power of love is between two people can solve that problem
This is indeed the best love story for me, ^^

There are some little spoilers in my review.
Yup this is the best Romance drama.They are attracted to each other from the start and they started dating very early like in episode 9 they shared their 1st kiss and to the people who are commenting that FL is very amateur what do you expect from a 21 year old girl who was never in a relationship and just started a relationship in foreign land.
She feels shy while kissing him in public , that's why she avoid kissing in public and after some time she started taking initiative to kiss him,hug him.
One of the reason why I said this is the Best Romance drama was because there is no misunderstanding, a lot of kisses and a very happy ending.
There is only a little argument in episode 18 but that's it , It got resolved in episode 19.
There are a lot of sweet moments.Also The background songs are so good.

Cute
This was a lovely slow paced love story.Loved how they filmed it in Finland, although it looked extremely cold, can't imagine how they coped but well done to them.
Story was nice no drama just good old love Story. And it came together over a snooker game.
Characters were good and well matched.
Overall very nice and slow

meet cute with that shy awkwardness that evokes the feeling of falling in love
Amidst a Snowstorm of Love made by the same showrunner as Love Me, Love My Voice, was another success in creating the sweetest meet cute and showing the most wonderful relationship between two people. This show was cute on top of cute on top of cute, and I was in love with the characters, with the romance, just every little bit.Amidst a Snowstorm of Love Review:
This show in my eyes is a 10/10. I enjoyed basically every second of this beautiful, charming, wholesome romance between two green forest characters. If I’m being completely honest, the majority of the characters in this show is a whole green forest. The romance was just romancing. From the meet-cute, to the awkwardness of getting to know each other, to the hand holding, kissing, communicating, long distance relationship, rejoicing of being physically together again, growing and succeeding together. Everything was just done so well, so elegantly, I was squealing like a highschool girl in my seat watching this show.
The billiards plot was also extremely fun for me to watch, as I was not really well versed in billiards nor even knew there were multiple types. Lin Yi Yang’s plot with Dongxin City and his coach was really heartwarming to watch and just seeing him becoming more understanding and growing in character was just wonderful to watch.
This show was the most perfect watch for me. I felt like I was falling in love at the same time as the characters. The cinematic scenes with the actors that had amazing chemistry and wonderful acting skill, just made the experience that much better.
Amidst a Snowstorm of Love is a must-watch for romance watchers who love shows with supportive main leads, supportive friends, little misunderstandings, a lot of kissing and chemistry, and watching two people just fall in love.
Beware of Spoilers Moving Forward!!!!!!
What Episode did the Main Couple Start Dating?
It’s kinda like alluded that they are essentially together after Episode 6, however, Yin Guo still questions if they are in a relationship in Episode 9 LOL which caught me off guard because the way she asks him is by asking if he has a girlfriend at school or something???? but I understand why she was asking. She was just clarifying what they were. He then clarifies that he’s serious about her and that’s I guess technically when they were official.
Misunderstandings?
They have a minor dispute in Episode 18. This is it though LOL. They have no other misunderstandings other than this. This misunderstanding also only lasts less than an episode.
Episode 18 is when Yi Yang was trying to toast Yin Guo’s mom as a way to try to create amends for his prior actions as a child, however, Yin Guo’s mom still acted extremely cold towards him.
Yin Guo felt like Yi Yang was treating her more cold because of her mom and she walked away from him creating a rift between them.
In Episode 19, they solve this misunderstanding. Yi Yang came to try to make up with her the next morning but she had already left for training for 2 months. He texts her that he’s there, and she calls him, and she wonders why he didn’t call the same night and because of that she got even more mad the next morning and left without saying anything. He basically gives in and says “I miss you, I’ll go now, bye” and let me tell you his response made me so sad and I felt bad like I stood him up * sobs *.
Yin Guo talks to the driver who is taking everyone to training, and they have a sweet relatable moment, and he asks her why she didn’t stay at home an extra day to relax. She takes this as an opportunity to go back and make up with Yi Yang, and takes a cab back to him.
Love Triangles?
There are no love triangles. hehe
There are love rivals but, are they really rivals? (the answer is no lol) We have Li Qing Yan who likes Yin Guo, he’s one of Meng Xiao Dong’s disciples (Meng Xiao Dong is Yin Guo’s cousin). Then, we have Cheng Yan who likes Lin Yi Yang, she is a member of Dongxin City, which is the club that Lin Yi Yang was a part of when he was young.
Second Main Leads
Honestly, were they really the second main leads? LOL. I barely understood how it was listed as such. Their romance was subtle, and they were just there. I didn’t really care about them tbh ahahahaha. Yin Guo was very invested in it though, however, I wasn’t really bothered.
Amidst a Snowstorm of Love Ending
Amidst a Snowstorm of Love has a cute ending where they both find out that they had anonymous accounts where they only talked about each other. After the Asian Games, he takes the core friend group on a trip. During this trip, he proposes to her while singing the main song of the show jskjndfkjsfkjs (i’m not screaming you are). He did this sweet comparison where he compared his life to the Truman Show and said that the world he created around himself in Hel was fake, and this girl aka Yin Guo, shows up and breaks his reality. He proposes and she says yes right away and then they have a 3 year time skip and it’s just a massive reminiscing scene in Hel.

A Soft and Healing Watch That Stayed With Me
I’m not someone who reviews dramas based on technical perfection. I watch for how a story makes me feel, and Amidst a Snowstorm of Love gave me comfort, peace, and a kind of quiet happiness that’s rare to find.From start to finish, it felt like a warm blanket on a cold day. The atmosphere and visuals are among the best I’ve ever seen—subtle, elegant, and beautifully reflective of the emotions in the story. There’s something calming about how the snow, the lighting, and the stillness mirror the characters’ personal journeys.
The story is simple but full. It doesn’t rely on dramatic twists or loud conflicts. It gives space for the characters to grow, to reflect, and to love in a way that feels real and mature. Even the female lead’s seemingly awkward thoughts felt right, because they were sincere and suited her character.
What I loved most is how the sport—billiards—was not treated as a side plot, but as a meaningful part of the characters’ lives. It wasn’t just about winning or losing, but about identity, healing, and staying true to what you love. That balance between romance and personal growth made the drama feel whole.
The OST was also unforgettable. Every song was perfectly timed, never too much, never too little. It added emotion in the quietest and most beautiful way. I still find myself listening to it.
I loved this drama so much that I even went to read the original novel, and both the drama and the novel felt perfect in their own way. They each gave something the other didn't—and that made me wonder how powerful it could be if they were somehow combined. That curiosity led me to start writing my own version of the story, legally shared with modifications and full respect to both works. It became the start of my own novel-writing journey. And the most touching part? My readers felt the same way I did. They understood the feeling I was chasing, and they found comfort in it too.
I’ve rewatched this drama four times now. Some say it’s slow or uneventful, but maybe that’s what makes it so special. In a world that constantly rushes, this drama teaches you to slow down, breathe, and feel.
It didn’t just pass time—it stayed with me. And it inspired me to create the same love i felt in this drama.

Werewolf Romance Disguised with Billiards
This is totally a werewolf romance in disguise because as soon as the ML sees the FL his eyes say "MATE!"Every action from him after that first encounter is him trying to keep the FL close without scaring her away. The faces he makes are swoonworthy and I melted for their chemistry. The ML also sought to touch the FL anytime she was in the room which made me think of werewolf mates with their skinship. I liked how often they reached for each other's hands.
If you were interested in the billiards aspect thinking this was a "sports romance" look elsewhere. Towards the end of the drama they ramp up the sports more but I didn't care by then. I felt they just needed a way to figure out how to keep the leads close and sorta have a plot otherwise it would just be the leads standing in a room flirting with each other for 30 episodes.
The Scandinavian background was a nice change of pace for a cdrama. So I recommend this for pure romance and easy watching. Don't watch for a plot or think anything moves quickly.

A lot of adorableness packed in 30 episodes of no silly misunderstandings.
The first 1 or 2 times I tried to watch the drama, I couldn't get past the first episode. Everyone on social media and in the comments were raving about it but I just didn't seem to like the vibe I got from the 1st episode. However, I wanted to watch them be all lovey dovey and decided to give it another go. Still not a fan of the first episode, but from the 2nd episode onwards it was such a good watch. It was warm for me.Even though I liked them being together, his intense stares sometimes made me feel like this could have easily been a case of serial killer locking on his prey, but thankfully it wasn't.
The actors did such a good job in creating this beautiful drama that has shows such love for all characters, now matter who they were.

A Captivating Romance Drama!
I recently stumbled upon a drama that completely captured my heart and soul. From the moment I hit play, I was hooked and couldn't stop watching until the very end. This drama was an emotional rollercoaster filled with love, heartbreak, and everything in between. It left me with a bittersweet feeling that made me want to rewatch it over and over again.The writers, producers, and entire cast of this drama deserve a standing ovation for their incredible work. They brought to life a beautiful romance story that had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Their attention to detail and dedication to their craft was evident in every scene.
One of the things that stood out to me the most was the stunning cinematography. The snowy winter setting in Helsinki, Finland, was breathtaking and added an extra layer of magic to the love story. As the drama transitioned to Suzhou, China, the beautiful scenery continued to amaze me. It's no wonder that this drama has 9.5/10.0 rating, which I believed should've been a "10" but it is being hailed as one of China's best romance dramas for 2024.
But what truly made this drama shine was the chemistry between the two lead actors, Lei Wu and Zhao Jin Mai. They were perfectly matched and their on-screen chemistry was undeniable. I found myself rooting for their characters' love story and completely invested in their relationship.
In fact, I was so captivated by their chemistry that I found myself wishing for more collaborations between them in the future. They truly brought their characters to life and made me believe in their love.
But it wasn't just the two leads that stole the show. The entire cast was simply amazing. Each actor portrayed their character with such depth and emotion that it felt like I was watching real people going through real struggles. And that's exactly what this drama was about - the struggles of love and life.
As much as this drama was a beautiful love story, it also delved into the story of Billiards, with deeper themes such as defeat, rejection, sickness, death, and grieving. It showed the raw and vulnerable side of love and the sacrifices that come with it. It made me cry, laugh, and even feel upset at times, but that was the beauty of it. It was a rollercoaster of emotions that left a lasting impact on me.
Moreover, this drama also highlighted the importance of team spirit and togetherness. The characters faced numerous challenges, but they were able to overcome them with the support of each other. It was heartwarming to see how they came together and stood by each other's side through thick and thin.
I must admit, I was disappointed when I realized that this drama was only 30 episodes long. I could have easily watched 45 episodes and still not get enough of it. That's how much I loved it. I wanted more of these characters and their journey together.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a drama that will make you feel all kinds of emotions and leave a lasting impression on you, then this is a must-watch for 2024. The beautiful romance story combined with stellar performances by the cast makes it a must-see for any drama lover. So take a bow, writers, producers, and actors - you have truly created something special with this drama. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us in the future.

Until I met you, amidst a snowstorm of love
Honestly I dislike long dramas, but this one, was too lovely, too fluffy, too precious to not finish. Every moment, every little thing shown was close to my heart and I felt it, every single time. I've seen people complain about Jinmai being shy around Leo even after dating for 2 yrs, but see, a person in love will know it better, if you love someone in a proper way, they'll make you feel flustered with a heart fluttering in your chest every day, they'll never cease to make you fall in love with them everyday. Skinship is not the only form of love and it's high time these new drama viewers accept that. For me, Yin Guo had the most realistic and relatable reactions to Yiyang's portrayal of love. Blushing and getting flustered everytime their hand touches, or shying away from PDA. That's what people in love for the first time do. Now, coming to Jiang Yang and Meng Xiaodong. My lord, they portrayed healthy sportsmanship like nobody else. Always feeling inferior to Yiyang's talent and vigour, Xiaodong never EVER let it come in between their friendship and brotherhood, and even after being nemesis with Jiang Yang, he didn't turn away when it was the matter of bringing Yiyang back to the field. They're by far the best examples of brotherhood in dramas. Then, Yin Guo's mom, Wu Qian, at first I thought that she'll be a bitchy mom like the rest but naah! She's the sort out and cool mom type. Really elevated my expectations. Every single character was chef's kiss, beautifully curated. 100% recommended.Was this review helpful to you?
