Sweet but Stale
When you have two good actors but no chemistry to help them save the show—that’s exactly what happened with Ski into love.
This isn’t a heavy drama (IMO), even though it deals with a life-changing injury and a scandal. To me, it felt more like a series of light obstacles sprinkled throughout just to push the story forward a little.
Main downers:
Story, FL’s acting, and chemistry
Story:
A solid storyline can make up for a lot of annoying scenes and moments in a drama. When chemistry is lacking, a strong plot can still keep you hooked and make you want to see what's next. But after five episodes of unnecessary wardrobe changes in a wintry setting for the FL, lots of pouting, and endless flashbacks, the story just didn’t deliver. It felt like a series of random situations stitched together to make a drama. For me, that’s a big NO.
Acting and Chemistry:
I’m grouping these together to keep it short and sweet.
I’ve seen FL in LBFD and MJTY and she held her own really well there—her acting hit all the right notes. Unfortunately, in this drama, it came off as childish. I couldn’t connect with her character, and the lack of chemistry with the ML didn’t help.
Individually, they’re both capable actors. But this pairing just didn’t work, and their performance couldn’t patch the gaps left by the story.
So that’s it—I’ve decided to drop this one. I just can’t push myself to go further. It was meant to be sweet, but ended up feeling stale and hard to chew.
See you on the next one!
