They are already going on a trip ? how long have they been in a relationship ? it feels lesss than a month
Almost from day one to next, yes... (well, they are supposedly acquainted for over 2 months, but since he was only traveling back and forth from the other city he studied in, and she was tied up with daily training, they had only a few weekend encounters before, so yes, not that familiar yet). The drama (novel?) suddenly got some MG/BOF vibes there, like Jun Pyo rushing Jan Di to New Caledonia (MG 2018 kept it closer by traveling to Hainan). But Daoming Si/Jun Pyo was an heir to mind-boggling wealth, when LYY is supposed to be an orphan and a "struggling student and entrepreneur".
The tram thing was explained : she did not know the language. This was not an English speaking country where her…
She is 21, but with no real adventurous streak to explore, meet others, and move to places she does not know. She is aware that drinks from unknown persons might be laced with drugs. She does not travel alone but with a cousin. She is used to go competing with her group and not since long ago. She probably is not used to find places on maps, only using GPS on her phone, like my son does (he can't read a map). She is not really used or tempted to be independent, and to use Uber (in China, some of such style drivers have been known to scam and rape lone girls). Railway stations are always in any country, a danger spot, so I totally got why LYY rushed over, even sick, knowing she had arrived.
Yes he did say that after he beat him in snooker, even when he was quite drunk.
island? they flew to France. The island thing was a mistranslation of haiwai, going abroad. The temperature difference was because they first went to Annecy (so I assume they went there by train from Paris airport, although it was not shown) almost at sea level with a warmer micro climate, and they drove up close to summit of the Mont Blanc 100 km away, in his rented car.
Ok... we are ep14 already... we cant have soo many of their sweet moments until ep 32 right... there must be some…
It is YinGuo (so the subtitles on WeTV sometimes machine translated to "Britain" ; there are other translating quirks btw, such as, in ep15 translating to "going to an island" when what he said was haiwai : going abroad, to France, specifically)
must say episode 14's views were amazing especially on the mountain drive and top view
Yes, I know that place. The town was Annecy, by a big lake with the canal, and he drove her up as far as he could on Europe's highest summit in France, the Mont Blanc. The mountain is about 100 km drive away from Annecy, up the slopes from a town and ski station called Chamonix.
yes he spends a lot even though they keep saying he hurting for money, she can cover some things as well, although…
I agree about the cost of taxis in Europe; it is far more expensive than in China, but Chinese visitors, except in some cities where they can speak English or the local language, at least some, and have done their homework about getting around, will indeed splurge on taxis, so they don't get lost. Only after a little while does one get familiar enough with public transport to get around by bus, tram, train, bikes or walking, and only for those who are used to explore on their own like that. YG's focus is not so much doing sight seeing and learning about the other country.
She has friends or acquaintances in Finland and would rely on them for help, as she does in the first episode, to find a hotel, and on taxis to get there before the time of checking in has elapsed. (In the novel, where the foreign part in is the US, she was exhausted because she had to sleep in an airport, her hotel room having been released since she did not show up in time).
I am not too surprised the acquaintances did not offer to drive her, because in Northern Europe, driving a car has become extremely costly, so town people often don't have or use a car that much. Renting a car is also very expensive. But totally understandable in episode 14, in the mountains, even for "students" : besides, LYY is not a pauper, just someone very thrifty who will splurge only for a good reason.
With all the gushing that is happening here about how sexy LLY is, 😜 I am almost afraid to comment, that he…
LLTG and Nothing But You were not exactly lacking in sexual tension, btw, but perhaps you thought slamming Shaoshang on her bed during the impromptu self defense turned sort of tango lesson was not enough ? Ling Buyi and SS were betrothed at the time and he was allowed to stay in her room alone at night, wedding ceremony at the corner, so what they did that night was left to anyone's imagination : surely not knitting scarves. Nothing But You was even more explicit, all considered (of course, not going as far graphically as the protagonists in The Forbidden Flower.... But that was not played by young Wu Lei, but by seasoned Jerry Yan.) Yes, it's a joy to see Wu Lei "growing up" !

The tram thing was explained : she did not know the language. This was not an English speaking country where her notions of foreign language would help her, and the tram was not fully easy to use in unfamiliar environment, alone. There might be pickpockets, vagrants -one was glimpsed in a station-, unruly crowds such as at the other sports competition when LYY got wounded by a steel door slamming into his leg. So, he first wanted to make sure she was safe, when he was available.
how long have the ml and fl know each other? feels like only weeks but assuming it's actually been 1-3 months
The timeline is a bit blurry, because in episode 11 when she spent the weekend with him after discovering he was ill, he said they had only become acquainted for a week or so, and her "brother" from China having arrived with the other team, she had already moved to stay with them and train with them. So, she had not had enough time to get totally familiar with and about LYY who was not staying as roommates permanently but was traveling back and forth to his university town, before he showed her around to see that other town and his billiards room in ep.11. But that's when she said she was going to leave soon, after the competition, less than a week later. Perhaps time had flown quickly between their partly "long distance" encounters over the past 9 or 10 weeks, or the adaptation has a different timeline : she was supposed to stay three months but the team came earlier, and instead of staying in his shared pied-Ã -terre where he slept on the couch in his friend's room, she moved to stay in the hotel with a female teammate, leaving only residual time to see him, and was required to leave earlier( with her team) than the full 3 months announced after the competition ended?
Currently at the beginning of EP13, and while there have been so many good scenes of them together, that scene…
I paused too on that sequence. I was thinking .... is this a subtle reminder of Lighter and Princess? He said the lighter did not belong to him. Mysterious. But L&P is a different, more violent story. I liked it very much, though. Amidst a Snowstorm is more restrained, yet also so romantic, and I think the shyness of courtship is very well depicted: despite they are pressed for time together and should nor waste it, they do not want to rush it either, so ep.14, YG teases LYY about what "they did", but we are still unsure they did more than kissing, hugging, and caressing.

wahahah…C-drama world like to only showcase good looking and extremely smart people. lol!
I do ;) but also hot guys in freezing weather like idol LeiLei and his smoldering gazes when he sets his eyes on the girl hahaha! Reminded me on the way he looked at the hand emerging from the carriage in first episode of LLTG! Looking forward to unlock next episodes after that first one!
