A Soft and Healing Watch That Stayed With Me

I’m not someone who reviews dramas based on technical perfection. I watch for how a story makes me feel, and Amidst a Snowstorm of Love gave me comfort, peace, and a kind of quiet happiness that’s rare to find.

From start to finish, it felt like a warm blanket on a cold day. The atmosphere and visuals are among the best I’ve ever seen—subtle, elegant, and beautifully reflective of the emotions in the story. There’s something calming about how the snow, the lighting, and the stillness mirror the characters’ personal journeys.

The story is simple but full. It doesn’t rely on dramatic twists or loud conflicts. It gives space for the characters to grow, to reflect, and to love in a way that feels real and mature. Even the female lead’s seemingly awkward thoughts felt right, because they were sincere and suited her character.

What I loved most is how the sport—billiards—was not treated as a side plot, but as a meaningful part of the characters’ lives. It wasn’t just about winning or losing, but about identity, healing, and staying true to what you love. That balance between romance and personal growth made the drama feel whole.

The OST was also unforgettable. Every song was perfectly timed, never too much, never too little. It added emotion in the quietest and most beautiful way. I still find myself listening to it.

I loved this drama so much that I even went to read the original novel, and both the drama and the novel felt perfect in their own way. They each gave something the other didn't—and that made me wonder how powerful it could be if they were somehow combined. That curiosity led me to start writing my own version of the story, legally shared with modifications and full respect to both works. It became the start of my own novel-writing journey. And the most touching part? My readers felt the same way I did. They understood the feeling I was chasing, and they found comfort in it too.

I’ve rewatched this drama four times now. Some say it’s slow or uneventful, but maybe that’s what makes it so special. In a world that constantly rushes, this drama teaches you to slow down, breathe, and feel.

It didn’t just pass time—it stayed with me. And it inspired me to create the same love i felt in this drama.
