It has combined sports, friendship and love. The plot mainly focuses on the journey of the main characters as they chase their dreams while slowly falling in love. It has beautifully shown not only romance but also themes like hard work, self-confidence, and never giving up even after failure.

Refreshingly creative
I loved, loved this show. Refreshingly creative and very funny. Loved the actors and the young, happy vibes, creative, positive energy of this C drama. It had lots of funny scenes, like when the FL begins the snowboarding lessons ( reminded me of myself when I started learning skiing). I was laughing out loud throughout the movie, very funny/hilarious scenes. I also loved the cartoonish characters at the end of each episode, extremely creative. The scenery/photography was superb and the music perfect for the scenes. I also really liked the customs, stylish, latest styles. This is one of the best C dramas I have seen, perfect to cheer you up and put you in a sunny/happy mood. Bravo!!! Thank you for giving us this fantastic entertainment. Definitely a 10 rewatch value.Was this review helpful to you?
A comfort drama!
This is a very late entry but l believe it had to be done in case someone was skeptical about watching Ski into love! As l was watching this drama during its airing time and l just said, “Ohh well this is a good drama! Great! Next!”Later on, l fell into a Cdrama slump and just needed something to watch to distract myself whiling up time so l ended up rewatching Ski into love! This has to be one of the best Cdrama rewatch choices l ever made because best believe it is now my comfort drama which l have and will continue to rewatch many times!
Shan Chong was a guy who was just living his life with just one goal of saving up for his sister while putting his own desires aside! As Wei Zhi became a part of his life, he became more curious about life, had more to look forward to and even goals to achieve. He was a calm and reserved guy who was everything the cute Wei Zhi needed in her life!
A plus is the cute real between Dai Duo and Shan Shan which was just eye candy! How can l forget to talk about one of my favourite OSTs from Ski into love, Snowy secret, Falling snow and True love! They always warm my heart!❤️
I would recommend it if you are up for a cutesy romantic drama without a dramatic storyline. Each actor nailed their role without leaving room for flaws! The outfits Wei Zhi rocked especially during the skiing trips will always be top tier for me! Watch this drama expecting to come across a cute but career oriented female and a calm but dedicated male lead. Wei Zhi delivered cuteness while continuing to be a woman on a mission to fulfill her dream! Shan Chong became more enthusiastic to pursue his dream and everything just fell into place for them!
The only downside of this drama is the noticeably cut scenes which cut short some of the fun we were supposed to experience. They either quickly brushed off some scenes or left us hanging which bruised the beauty of the drama. Regardless of this flaw, this drama will always be a gem which l hope you will enjoy!
Any time l am up for some giggles, calm vibes, nothing hectic, l know to always run to watch Ski into love!

Hilarious, Refreshing, Heartwarming
I surprisingly really adored and liked this drama.I loved how it highligted growth, friendship, and perserverance.
The romance was cute. Especially during the first few episodes. Their interactions were pure comedy!
I also loved how both main characters are from two different main fields and both have shown struggle, progress, and success in each field. It highlighted how they were able to thrive in their fields independently.
My gripe that didn’t make this drama a full 10 stars isn’t about the separation they encountered. It was how the male lead acted during the female characters trying time. While he did help, I think what he failed to realize was that she needed him there with him, than him being away, quiet, but secretly trying to help with resources. I get what the show was implying. But it also came from the female main characters mouth that “she’d rather have him with her than have the approval of everyone else”. So yeah… I personally just feel like, she was always there for him, but when she needed him the most, he wasn’t fully there.

Refreshing + Great chemistry
Honestly it has a interesting storyline and roles for the characters. Much more refreshing than your average strong ml and weak fl c-dramas. Loved the ml and fl's interactions, full of chemistry. Its cute but not disgusting and is serious when it needs to be.Also enjoyed how the actors did film the easy skiing parts by themselves. Definitely one of the best c-dramas I have watched and I strongly recommend you give it a try!!

Not bad but not good
All chinese drama good in start and become bad in middle? and then till end ? why do the side characters have mores part or they're literally all the time with mc ? why you have to show so many friends? the side characters or side couple take unnecessary screentime we are not interested in side characters or side couple we are watching for main couple, I really liked the main couple and the story everything,but CDRAMA have to ruin every drama with side couple and side characters? so annoyed skipping the parts ? I'm not interested in friends story we are watching for romance? i was still okay even with breakup? but the romance was so less why ? because there's always people around them they're rarely alone ? and after breakup also new side characters or the friends again ? i seriously wanted to give 8 even when I was annoyed but because I didn't watch the last 4-5 eps and skipped till end I give 7 because I like the couple ? there was literally no romance nothing after they started dating , what happened is less after thatWas this review helpful to you?

Eww
I’m only at ep 9.So far …
Cute & easy entertaining watch.
Plot is full of too many “coincidences” and the fl is cringey when she acts like a spoiled brat. ML literally agrees to teach classes to pay off the fl expensive taste in ski boots, going out of his way to get her designer gear and she has a sulky tantrum, because he coaches another student. Which he needs to do to make money.
Unbelievable! Very unlikeable behaviour for FL.
Instead of going out to enjoy eating with him & her friends, she leaves in a pathetic sulk.
Then she’s so stupid she goes against his advice and goes to an advanced slope to ski ?
Why would she be so dangerous and stupid?
It’s so attention seeking I can’t believe it.
Risks her life just so he worries about her. the K coach shouldn’t have left her alone, however what was she doing there at all?
She absolutely knew she’s not at that level.
She is immature and irresponsible.
She even calls him mean when he calls her out for not listening to him.
It’s awful seeing him apologise to her ! Emotional blackmail should not be rewarded. She deliberately got herself hurt so he’d feel bad for what? Doing his job and teaching people? He’s not rich, he has to work. She’s super toxic.
He keeps giving her free stuff and lessons etc and she just takes advantage and then pulls manipulative tactics to get him to chase her.
Her baby doll voice is pretty awful too.
She is very childlike and he’s a grown man. It’s a weird match.
She keeps pulling cutesy wide eyed faces too. It’s a bit ick.. the dynamic , like he’s her father and she’s his little useless babygirl.
She wears kiddie turtle clothes and he’s always dressing her, putting her shoes/slippers/boots on for her like she’s his toddler.
Is this some weird Chinese culture thing where men are supposed to babysit their partners?
She acts like a naughty child who needs constant attention.
She only has a bit of sore skin on the back of her ankle from putting her boots on too tight, yet he has to carry her like she can’t walk?
I think a better actress and some better writing could’ve made this so much better.
Why does she not wear contact lenses if she’s that blind?
Her glasses look fake af too like there’s not even glass in the frames.
If she’s so conscious of ugly things they seem like a weird thing to wear.
Her comic art is very basic and not very original. The story sounded cool, but her artwork was childish. Which is a shame because the concept of a comic artist and snowboarder coming together is cool. It could’ve been great.
I guess it’s entertaining nonetheless.
Watch if you can suspend your disbelief and don’t mind a petty, annoying fl.
The ml is excellent and the only real reason to watch this. He has expressive eyes and actually can act. However, after suffering such a big back injury it’s not great that he risks getting reinjured just because he wants to show off for a girl.
And the fat shaming was awful (from the best friend character to Yan.) She doesn’t eat properly Because she’s constantly dieting & she puts her friend & boyfriend down about weight. Surely in 2025 we’re not body shaming anymore?
And why would her assistant blab to her rival about her comic topic? that’s confidential. No one is that unprofessional.
If FL wealthy mother knows about the comic company taking her name etc why wouldn’t she get lawyers to challenge their unfair contract?

Alice
Ski In to Love is a Chinese series that mixes romance, comedy and drama with a touch of sports, set in the enchanting scenery of snow-capped mountains. Released in 2025, it tells the story of Wei Zhi (Yu Shuxin), a cartoonist who loses everything after a copyright scandal and chooses to walk away from it all to start over. She decides to go skiing, and then she meets Chan Chong (Lin Yi), a former snowboarding competitor with past traumas. They begin to develop a romantic relationship, despite their differences in personality and the adversities that arise in their lives.The series manages to combine the winter atmosphere and snow sports with an engaging narrative about personal growth, passion and the difficulties that arise when falling in love. The main characters have good interaction dynamics, with emphasis on the relationship between the protagonists, which evolves into a deeper emotional bond. The chemistry between the actors is remarkable, which helps to sustain the romance of the story and generate empathy with the audience.
The mountain scenery and skiing scenes also play an important role in building the series' atmosphere. The beautiful landscapes and action-packed moments, such as skiing competitions, add a layer of emotion to the plot, keeping the viewer engaged in the characters' adventures.
However, Ski In to Love is not just about romance and sports. The series also addresses issues such as overcoming adversity, friendship, and the challenges of adulthood, making the audience identify with the characters' personal dilemmas. Some moments are predictable, and the plot follows classic love story formulas, but the production still stands out for its ability to balance drama and lightness.
In terms of production, the series has a pleasant visual style, with good location choices and costumes that align with the cold and sporty environment. The soundtrack complements the atmosphere, helping to immerse the audience in the story's mood.
In short, Ski In to Love is a light and captivating series, ideal for those looking for a cute romance with a stunning setting and characters that grow throughout the plot. Although it follows some typical formulas of the genre, the combination of romance, sports and drama makes it a pleasant option for those who want to be distracted and excited at the same time.
