Ski Into Love for fun and enjoyable snow humor!
Ski Into Love (2025) is filled with tangible chemsitry and enjoyable humor.Love the banter and humor betweeen the characters as well as the respective CPs. Truely like the overall friendship and comradery of the snow buddies.
Esther Yu & Lin Yi nailed their charaters and our supporting seconds and teams are equally credible.
I enjoyed teh ending snipits of our "winter king in cartoon formations, as well.

cute
The story portrays the ambition of a comic artist and a talented ski athlete. However, at times, the series leans into a cuteness overload. I love the female lead, but in some episodes, her excessive cuteness was a bit overwhelming.Overall, the story was good. I don't know much about skiing, but it piqued my interest. However, some plot points confused me—like when they went to another ski resort. Was it for fun? Practice? Something else? It seemed like they just wanted a change of scenery, but at times, those episodes didn’t align with the main storyline.
It’s an enjoyable series, but not outstanding, in my opinion.

Sweet and Cute
I mainly watched this because of Lin Yi. And apparently, this has been the 3rd Esther Yu series I have watched in succession. Baby girl (as what my 11 year old calls her after seeing a few series of her because she says she sounds like a little kid), really delivered in her role. Count on Esther to do the perfect cute, sweet, and naive FL. Lin Yi was gorgeous as usual. I am not sure if he did all his stunts but those were pretty cool too. I think this series was just ok. There's sweet moments that I enjoyed but nothing that was really special, to be honest. One thing that was really nice about the show was that it gave time to the other plots and love teams, too. I do love the music in the series as well as all the beautiful mountain and scenic shots.Was this review helpful to you?
china drama
honestly i came to watching lin yi but this drama so bad. i wait long to see this drama like 6 month before this drama release but disappointed I can't even watch until end. esther yu act are good but her voice so annoying like little kid. i try to watch but can't. hope lin yi get better drama like derailment, everyone love me and smile code. this drama about lin yi join ski and get long injury and teach other like esther yu to learn ski. dont get serious I can't give 100% accurate because i watch until 8-16 and stop. get boring easilyWas this review helpful to you?

Ski into Love: 6/5/2025 ~ 6/13/2035
I really enjoyed this show despite seeing that some people didn’t. Though I can understand why because there were many scenes that somehow didn’t feel complete like there was supposed to be another scene before it or one after it. Though I did later see that the drama was cut down into less episodes which makes sense one why it didn’t feel quite complete. Besides all of that the story itself was really cute especially the romance between the ML and the FL was really cute. The chemistry was really present between the two. I also liked how the FL wasn’t all naive though she did act like a child. My biggest critique was their break up because it felt really unnecessary and it caused more harm than it helped. Also there were two side couples one that lasted and one that didn't. The couple that lasted was really cute and I enjoyed watching them together, I also found the scenes when they were revealed to be together hilarious. The second couple while I liked them it made sense for they not to and up together even though I was sorta hoping they would makeup.Was this review helpful to you?
Two adorable and talented leads can do no wrong
Things I adored1 The leads. Not because their characters were extraordinary but because just watching them fall in love brought a smile a in my life and that's enough reason to adore them.
2 The FL. She's such a positive and adorable character. I love that she's kind but also driven and has dreams others than falling in love. Ester Yu plays the role perfectly and although I think I'll never love her more than in Moonlight, she's great in this drama as well.
3 The ML. I didn't fall in love with him in the Keep your head on my shoulder drama although I understand why he became a star. I didn't like any of his recent dramas either, so I wanted to find something where I would love him and this one did id. He embodies perfectly his role and his chemistry with Ester Yu is great. I'd love to see them again together.
4 The proposal. I welled up. It was so cute, so romantic, so original, so funny, so fitting. I adored it.
Things I loved
1 I'm not a snow girl, but I loved that it was different and about a sport I don't follow but I find interesting. I loved the setting and the scenery was breathtaking sometimes.
2 The secondary characters, I loved all of them. I was irritated a few times by the 2FL but at the end of the day they were all adorable and so relatable. I loved the relationship between them, all of them.
3 I loved the ML sister and how she entered the frame. It was cute and I loved her relationship with the FL as well. Truly one of the most adorable dramas I've ever seen.
3 I loved the competition angle. I rarely find dramas I like with a competition premise. One i loved was Gank your Heart, but this one was also interesting, although not in the same level as Gank you Heart.

Comfort Winter Watch!!
What a perfect cozy winter watch. I really enjoyed the snowboarding aspect of the show, I think it was done well. The comic side was a little hard to believe, but fun. The main couple was very wholesome and I really enjoyed them. Lin Yi was such a charming love interest, he had such a gentle tender personality. Esther Yu was so cute, and it felt natural. I will say, some of the episodes DRAGGEDDDDD. The best moments were in the snow. Shoutout to the enjoyable side characters as well. I am glad they did not force everyone to be in relationships. I hope to watch more stuff with Lin Yi in it. (I am already an Esther Yu fan)Was this review helpful to you?
a good watch!
what really hooked me with this drama was the unique concept, it was refreshing to see a cdrama about snowboarding! it was really interesting to see how they incorporated it into the story. the drama itself was super chill and i loved how it didn’t feel rushed or forced.sometimes, having someone beside you is all you need to help heal and rediscover parts of yourself you thought were lost. it was such a warm and uplifting story that made me think about how we all need a bit of healing, whether from the people we love or FROM OURSELVES.

NEVER HAVE I SEEN SUCH MATURE LEADS IN A CDRAMA.
If you're an avid CDrama fan, whether historical or modern, there's one concept we can't seem to run away from.Trashy second leads, and a bitch squad with a vendetta. The girl who wants the man and doesn't take no for an answer, or the pining man who wants the girl and sometimes literally fights or throws a gargantuan tantrum when he doesn't get what he wants.
WELL, WORRY NO MORE.
Ski into Love is such a well-paced drama, that I hardly forwarded any scenes. The leads get together at appropriate times, without dragging and pining. Jiang Yiming is a sweetheart, and I honestly cried with him, when he came to terms with Zhi's relationship with her master.
In some cases, he'd have demanded Shan Chong leave Zhi so he could help Shan Shan, but he didn't. He went out of his way to offer his services, even offering friendship and more, despite the fact that he lost the girl. This honestly makes him one of my favourite characters.
The rest of the squad is just vibes on vibes, there are no underhanded attacks or prevalent bitchiness, and that is such a nice change.
The parents are relatable. Their views, struggles, and lives are understandable, and it's hard to hate any of them, even Zhi's mom.
I only have a small issue with Zhi's bestie, cause I don't understand why she turned aloof and bitchy on her trainer, I didn't get what went on, that she blocked him, then came back and acted as if nothing had happened before. I get the guy for going off.
I'm yet to finish the drama but, I'm sure I WON'T DROP IT BEFORE THE END.
If you are looking for a sign to watch this drama, here you go, WATCH IT!!!! IT'S WORTH IT!
THE PERFECT MIX OF LIFE ISSUES, ROMANCE AND MORE!

Ski into love ?? (light as cotton, sweet as chocolate,cinematic eye candy)
The story is well thought, refreshing and not boring at all. It gives a vibe of sweet and light feeling. All the characters have their own spot,unlike other drama that only evolves to main character. The cinematography was awesome, though in my country I will never experience a winter,still I appreciate and amazed how pretty and pleasing in the eye.I love you shuxin character sweet and bubbly, opposite to lin Yi character which is more on mysterious and serious side,it compliment each other and make their character balance.wishing the drama a success!Was this review helpful to you?

Why hate the drama? This drama, at its core, is about love conquering all.
⚠️ Spoiler Alert (PERSONAL FEEDBACK) ⚠️Title: Ski Into Love (2025)
Episodes: 23 (Complete)
Personal Rating: ⭐ 9/10
💕 How would you rate this drama?
✨ Main Leads:
🔹 Shan Chong – played by Lin Yi
🔹 Wei Zhi – played by Esther Yu
Winter 2025 😍❤️
"Wishing for what you wish for." – Wei Zhi
"You are my wish." – Shan Chong
This drama, at its core, is about love conquering all. ❤️ It’s the classic tale of a rich "princess" with strict, traditional parents who only want a financially stable and secure son-in-law. But then, she meets a handsome commoner with big dreams and unfinished ambitions. To win her family's approval, he has to prove himself— and so he does! And yes, they live happily ever after! That’s the whole summary! Hahaha.
I really don’t understand why this drama is getting so much hate. The ratings are low, and people are calling it boring or cringy, especially in the second half. But come on— they can’t be lovey-dovey all the time! 😅 It’s a drama; challenges are necessary! Even in real life, love isn’t always smooth sailing. Some are also complaining about inaccuracies in the snowboarding techniques, but honestly, this is a feel-good romantic comedy filled with so many sweet moments that will make you jealous. So don’t miss out!
Overall Rating: ⭐ 9/10 – This drama is light, refreshing, and heartwarming. It portrays the struggles of athletes, their dedication to training, and how incredible they can be. It also highlights the power of comics (manga) in bringing joy and strength to people. And of course—so many adorable and romantic moments! 😍
Wei Zhi is absolutely adorable! Esther Yu is always phenomenal in rom-coms, and she’s perfect for this role. She plays a sweet, innocent, rich girl (like a princess) who loves love and enjoys being cute. So don’t blame Esther for her character—she nailed it! ❤️
This was my first Lin Yi drama, so I can’t fully judge his acting range yet. I actually dropped Everyone Loves Me because it wasn’t my cup of tea, but he was great here! You can truly feel his sincerity in taking care of Wei Zhi. Plus, he’s so handsome! 😍
🎵 Favorite OST: True Love by Esther Yu
