I really enjoyed watching this show, great cast and finally someone to make that ending a little nicer and longer,…
"finally someone to make that ending a little nicer and longer"
I know, right? Happy endings in K-dramas usually aren't earned easily, so I love it if at least the final episode is extra fluffy and sweet. I especially appreciate it if the drama makers include a few scenes of the romantic couple's future life, happily married and maybe starting a family. For such endings, I recommend "Secret Garden" and "King 2Hearts", also "Legend of the Blue Sea", "Bride of the Century", "She Was Pretty", "Perfect Marriage Revenge" and now also "Marry My Husband".
Do you know of any other dramas with satisfactory non-rushed endings?

It's a happy ending.

It's been bugging me.....You need to be 22 to get married as a male, right? Lin Yiyang is around 6 years older…
When they first met abroad, the ML was 27, the FL 21 (six-year age difference), and he mentioned that his younger brother was also her age--and had married not long ago. To which the FL expressed surprise at him marrying so young. And when the niece appears 2 years later, she does look around 4, but I suppose she might just be 3 years old or so. So this is not as big an issue.
However, you're right that in China males need to be 22 to legally register a marriage (females need to be 20), so that's been bugging me too. In China, like in Korea, they might just hold the wedding banquet first (and be considered married in everyone's eyes) and register the marriage later (which covers the legal aspect), so I thought his younger brother could theoretically have done that--but in that case, the niece is a bit too old (unless we got her age wrong). You see, I think you need a birth permit in China to be allowed to give birth (at least, you definitely needed a birth permit while the national one-child policy was in place), and I think you need to be married to obtain such a permit.
In short, on the surface it might look like a plot hole, but on the other hand we just don't know enough about their society's legal workings, while the author Mo Bao Fei Bao does know and would be unlikely to make a mistake. And the drama seems to be a faithful adaptation of the novel (minus the overt sexiness).

Guys, please tell me what happened in today's ep? I'm still at work so can't watch it yet.
The OTP separately spend the night pretty much sleepless after their fight. The FL, angry that the ML didn't contact her, leaves early for a long closed training. At the same time, the ML arrives at her community with apology-breakfast. By the time they talk on the phone, they realize they've missed each other. I won't spoil the details, but they do end up reconciling that same day, and the ML confesses the main reason he was angry was because he was jealous (seeing the FL with her so-called childhood sweetheart in a family setting).
The second episode shows the FL in training (schooling a guy who badmouthed the ML) and the ML facing off against the FL's cousin in the very first round of the Snooker China Open. And his old teacher Mr. He is in the audience!

Can someone give me the name of the author or maybe the list of his/her drama you'd recommend. I'm kinda enjoying…
The author is Mo Bao Fei Bao. https://kisskh.at/people/18856-mo-bao-fei-bao
Other youth dramas adapted from her novels, beside "During the Snowstorm", are "Love Me, Love My Voice" and "Go go Squid". Also the more mature-leaning "Forever and Ever" and the reunion romance "Road Home".
If you enjoy slow-burn sweet and wholesome young romance, I also recommend author Zhu Yi's novel adaptations "When I Fly Towards You" and "Hidden Love", as well as author Gu Man's novel adaptation "Love O2O." Gu Man's "My Sunshine" is more melo, but I loved that one, too.

He was playing with a lighter in one scene. It gave me a flashback to Lighter & Princess. LOL!
That's the one. Adapted from a novel by author Gu Man, same as "Love O2O".

Guys How is this so far?I don't mind some spoilers and please tell me, what its similar to !
It reminds me most of Love O2O in its slice-of-life aspect and the older ML pursuing the FL and all the sweet, melting, tender first love feels. (Of course, "Snowstorm" doesn't have the online gaming aspect of Love O2O to lay the foundation of the OTP relationship, so the ML in "Snowstorm" pursues the FL directly in real life.)
Like Mo Bao Fei Bao (the author)'s other novel-to-drama adaptations "Road Home" and to an even greater degree "Love Me, Love My Voice", there is no dramatic plot or keep-you-at-the-edge-of-your-seat kind of story-telling in "Snowstorm", which is why people who dislike the drama accused it of being meandering or boring, but the point is this story is first and foremost a love story: just two young people who are attracted to each other, gradually and tentatively (this is particularly true for the FL) opening their hearts to each other, then becoming really really emotionally invested really fast. Also, after he falls in love with the FL, the ML is motivated to finally overcome a deep past wound which led to him giving up snooker (his most beloved sport, which he used to play professionally, and very very well).
This may not be true for all viewers, so you'll just have to try and see if the romance works for you, but for me, it works so well that I am constantly feeling shy (sometimes if seems almost voyeuristic watching them, the OTP comes across as so real) and giddy as the romance progresses, and I thought everything was so well done, even the occasional awkwardness between them at first (the ML is not a big talker--but he tells the FL he wants to talk to her; the FL is shy, and sets a slower pace with physical intimacy at first, but her acting still conveys so well how much she likes him, just that she's very young and inexperienced in love). It all feels so real and so touching.

You've probably watched all these already lol, but here goes.
For a drama similar in feels to "Hidden Love", try this author's other novel-to-drama adaptation "When I Fly Towards You." (I loved them both about the same.)
The shy slow-burn first love with lots of cuteness feels that you get in "Snowstorm", reminded me of my older darling "Love O2O." Also Mo Bao Fei Bao's other recent drama "Love Me, Love My Voice."
As for "Lighter & Princess"--no other C-drama quite as chemistry-laden comes to mind, but "My Sunshine" comes close for me and might even be considered to have some slight story similarities to L&P (the college romance, originally rich FL and originally poor genius ML, separation and reunion as adults; only the adult FL in "My Sunshine" has been beaten down by life and is much less of a go-getter than the FL in L&P).
And while it's a totally different genre (xianxia instead of modern), I have to mention the one C-drama I watched this past year that I loved even more than L&P: "Love Between Fairy and Devil," which for me was a perfect fantasy romance and never got frustrating (whereas L&P did have a couple of such moments).

I give this show a 4/10. A 20 year old isn't a kid in highschool. Like can we stop the Lolita mentality and act…
We all have our own understanding of the world and what constitutes typical behavior of a generation, but since this understanding can vary so wildly from individual to individual, across different countries, cultures, social environments, education levels etc., I think it best to refrain from making gross generalizations, for example regarding how a "Gen Z adult" should act.
For example, Gen Z "adults" might be depicted as jumping into the sack instantly whenever they get the hots for someone, but I've found that's just how Hollywood/Netflix portrays them, and not how they actually *all* are in real life. Even in America and the Western world there are more conservative areas, not to mention there are conservative/shy/introverted people everywhere, regardless of the culture, and more so in traditionally more conservative Asian countries.
So if I want to see the Hollywood type of "Gen Z adults"--sexually forward people getting it on, or aggressive flirting right off the bat--then I just pick an American show. If I pick a Chinese show, however, I won't impose those same expectations on it. Thus, I won't be surprised when Gen Z Chinese characters, unlike their Hollywood counterparts, appear as romantically inexperienced, engaging in a sometimes clumsy, sometimes awkward, sometimes tension-laden slow-burn first love.

Title Marry My Husband Spoiler
in webtoon ml was way better he was bold and knew what he wanted
Can you please spoil me with a few details, since I want to know whether to avoid starting this drama. I hate weak MLs, so please say if the ML here is a pushover (with others than the FL) and/or if he adopts a wishy-washy stance if his family opposes FL, instead of protecting her. Also, would you say the ML here is a beta character (i.e. a follower rather than a leader)? Thanks.

More inconsistencies with timelines in this show. A couple of weeks ago we found out that HS is 35 y.o. In multiple…
I am also someone who always takes great note of timelines and character ages in shows/books and I hate it so, so much when the writer isn't consistent. This lack of attention to detail is annoying in itself bust also gives this impression that the narrative isn't carefully thought out, so most likely, there will be other plot holes as well. And if the writer didn't care enough about their story to carefully plan it out, then why should I care enough to watch/read and become invested?

Title Lighter & Princess Spoiler
Just finished this drama, and sad to say, the storyline is good, no boring moments, but... the ML character is…
I agree with you that the ML attacking in public the man indirectly responsible for his sister's death was monumentally stupid; surely he could have found a better way to take revenge--a way that didn't ruin his own life. But he always had an eccentric and extreme temper, and he felt he had failed in his duty of protecting his sister after previously also failing to protect his mom--so it's not out-of-character that he would choose such an extreme way of revenge: to make a statement, and to punish himself for his "failure" as well as punishing his sister's "killer".
Regarding his attitude toward his girlfriend, both before and three years later, we'll just agree to disagree. Again, I feel if was frustrating to watch but not out-of-character for the ML, and the writing and acting make his mindset and motivations very clear. As it was always clear how deeply he always loved her through it all and in spite of it all.
But I must say, I find your statement "i thought he would bow to his mother in law to accept him" is so tone-deaf in context. No person ever has won over anyone else by humiliating themselves in front of them by bowing and scraping. With any normal mother, all he had to do was show the sincerity of how much he cared for that mother's daughter. Which he did--he quietly asked her, twice, to name any condition so she would accept him--and it was obvious he meant it; he would have done anything she asked that was in his power. But then she said he was unworthy unless he brought his parents to sit down with her and her husband. That is despicable, ok? I have no issue with her blaming him for his prison record (he did that to himself), but it was not ML's fault that his father was killed in a car accident while providing for his family's living, and it was not ML's fault that his mother died of liver cancer. The loss of his parents is a permanent soul-deep open wound, and that woman, a supposed educator, just brought it up to use as a weapon against him. It was vicious and unwarranted, and the slight sneer she got then from the ML was because he had figured out what person she was. To bow your head instead in that moment to the woman you had to hear this from, I find it unthinkable.

Snooker? Nine ball? What even is that? So random!
You're probably not European and definitely not British, because I imagine most any European has at least heard of Snooker, if not also watched a few championships/masters on Eurosport and thus most likely seen Ronnie O'Sullivan win yet another title. :)
The simplest explanation for people who don't know snooker is that it's a higher-class version of pool: the balls are smaller and unnumbered, the table is bigger but has small pockets--therefore Snooker is much more difficult than pool to play well; and there's a dress code in the professional games--I've only ever seen the players dressed in black trousers and ironed long-sleeved shirts, mostly with a suit vest. The best players I've seen these years were predominantly British and a few Chinese.

Title Jiang Men Du Hou Spoiler
The 4 stories from this same author has the same theme. - strong female-centric character- die and get reincarnated/rebirth-…
With a disclaimer that I only read the first 3 novels (and barely skimmed through "Star General"), these are the main differences I can think of:
- The author's first two novels Ill-fated Consort and Malicious Empress are the most similar in tone and plot, with their heroines most deeply marked by their tragic past lives, turned very ruthless and distrustful, though they do have a remaining soft spot for beloved family members (in Ill-fated Consort, an elder brother; in Malicious Empress, the parents and elder brothers) who were also harmed past life. Both heroes are princes/wangs (though in Malicious Empress the hero first appears with another identity, being undercover), and in both books there's a decent-sized after-marriage portion--but the heroines don't truly and fully give their hearts to their respective husband until almost near the end (because of past life's bitter lessons, for the longest time, they don't allow themselves to trust and love again). Finally, in Malicious Empress the hero ends up as emperor (the heroine is, of course, his empress), and I don't remember anymore if so does the hero in Ill-fated Consort.
- The biggest difference is the two books above have the heroine experience rebirth to her own body in her teens: h returns to her own past and rewrites her life making different choices than she did past life. In the other two books, 嫡嫁千金 and Star General, h doesn't get to change the past and her death, but instead transmigrates to a different body after dying in her original body. So here, the timeline is linear, and the evil-doers are also punished for deeds done this life, whereas in the other two books the evil-doers obtain a delayed punishment primarily for evil done past life.
- Then, by contrast to the 2 books above, in 嫡嫁千金, the author emphasizes that the heroine is a very optimistic open-minded girl and she's grown up much loved by her father and brother--basically there's been more light than darkness in her life--so even though she had the bad luck to meet a bad husband, she won't let that twist her into affecting her entire world outlook. She is smart and cautious, deals ably with the plots surrounding her in her new identity after rebirth, and doesn't hesitate in taking revenge on the people who harmed her to death in her original identity, but her personality doesn't become hard and ruthless. She is also less distrustful of the hero and less hesitant in letting herself love again. Another difference is that the hero isn't a prince here, but *only* a duke lol. Also, there's no after-marriage portion; I think the book ends shortly after the wedding or engagement?

i really really loved it but its so weird to have that type of relationship between a middle aged man and a high…
Koreans believe that anything plus nine is always "cursed" and brings about more hardship than usual, including the ninth year of every decade in one's life.

The heroine is 19 for most of the drama and keeps having near-death experiences. After the Goblin sacrifices himself to save her, she is fine for 10years and then she ends up dying at 29.

Personally, I care less about the age gap, as long as both are grown-ups, and more about maturity level.
