1. Amidst a Snowstorm of Love
Chinese Drama - 2024, 30 episodes
Protagonist Lin Yiyang has a lifelong obsession with one thing: billiards. Then he sees female protagonist Yin Guo from the outside of a bar window, and he acquires a second obsession. In his youth, he had problems with dysregulated emotions, impulsive speech and actions, and gauging his impact on others. As an adult, he's silent out of fear of committing harmful speech - and has a collection of lighters with which he fidgets. Though he's awkward, intense, and hyperfocused, luckily for him he catches Yin Guo's eye. And she's also single-mindedly obsessed with billiards, so in that way they're kindred spirits.

Reading and calligraphing, however, are torture for her - and not only because of the lack of education and harmful environment she survived as a child.
