WATCH IF YOU DONT HAVE ANY OTHER GOOD DRAMAS TO WATCH
- Handsome ML but Irritating FL( Esther is an awesome actress and she can act better than this i.e., i understand it's her voice and she needs to act cute for the story but honestly she was not cute but super irritating. Please watch Moonlight to love Esther and AROTLF to hate Esther)- Super Cringy second leads. No other comments except waste of time to watch their part.
- Good Direction(with good VFX) but poor storyline.
- Loved the Male Lead and his smile is very touching but if Esther could have supported more this drama could have been a good hit.
- Very Poor acting from Esther in the crying scenes. OMG - couldn't imagine she did the role in Moonlight. I love Esther but if she acts the same way she will be soon thrown out.
- ONLY WATCH IF YOU HAVE NO OTHER GOOD DRAMAS.

Why This Drama Deserves More Credit: Embrace Individuality and Enjoy the Story
I am not sure why this drama has received so many negative reviews honestly, it’s one of a kind. I came across a comment that mentioned it is not a drama for young girls who take inspiration from other dramas, and I can’t help but think: It’s true that a lot of young girls might take inspiration from dramas, especially when it comes to relationships, fashion, or even life goals. But, here's the thing dramas are meant to be entertainment, not blueprints for real life. If we only ever “took inspiration” from what we see on screen, we’d miss out on creating our own unique stories.Now, about the drama itself it's not your typical colorful, cliché-filled show with romantic kisses. But it's definitely worth a watch at least once. The actors did an amazing job, especially compared to "Always Home." Sure, school dramas might follow a similar structure, but this one keeps things interesting without feeling repetitive. Everyone has their own taste, but I really don’t think this drama deserves as much hate as it’s getting especially compared to other shows. If it’s not your thing, then just drop it, but I would absolutely recommend giving it a shot!
You can ask me if I will be like YingTao and I will not be but Love doesn't just need to be in a format it can vary between different people/scenarios/etc. If what I think I am doing is Love I will respect others way of Love as well unless it is physical/mental abuse. Watch a TAMIL MOVIE (INDIAN) - Vaaranam Aayiram and you will love it.

BAD SELECTION OF FEMALE LEAD; BUT AN INTERSTING STORY WITH OTHER CHARACTERS
Ski Into Love had so much potential to be an absolute hit—beautiful scenery, a refreshing winter sports theme, and of course, Lin Yi doing what he does best: being effortlessly charming and pulling heartstrings like a pro. He carried this drama with grace and sincerity, delivering a performance that deserved a far better match.Unfortunately, the weakest link in this series was the female lead, Esther Yu. Her overly exaggerated mannerisms—whether it was her voice, the way she walked, or just her general behavior—felt like she was dropped in from a completely different genre. Instead of matching the tone of the story and the depth of the male lead, she stuck out in a way that was more distracting than endearing. It honestly felt like the series would’ve soared higher if her character had been toned down or cast differently.
On the bright side, the supporting characters were a delight. They brought heart, humor, and some much-needed balance to the show. If you're someone who can mentally "mute" a lead and enjoy the rest of the package, this drama might still work for you. It has its charm, just… with a side of frustration.
Watch it for Lin Yi. Endure it for Lin Yi. And maybe pretend Esther Yu’s character got lost on the slopes.

MUST WATCH DRAMA
Absolutely amazing! I’m at a loss for words, but here’s my best shot: This drama will make you feel the depth of love in every possible way from the moment it begins to its final seconds. The chemistry between the leads is so genuine, and the entire cast, from the young Sang Yan to Grandpa Su, delivers outstanding performances. Even the supporting characters shine, highlighting the true strength of friendship and how vital it is to have someone to lean on in life. Truly a captivating journey from start to finish!Was this review helpful to you?
GREAT DRAMA WITH SUPERB ACTORS AND NICE ACTING
THIS DRAMA IS SOOOOOOOOO UNDERRATED AND PLEASE WATCH THIS DRAMA.Advantages:
- Cast is superb, simply superb that can't imagine other actors in place of them.
- Direction; Storyline - Brilliant, Of Course, it slow paced but republican era could have been a slow paced one, we were not born at that time so nobody is to judge (just watch it as a drama and if you like understand what the era was like)
- Good Content, Good level of suspense, Good Dressing.
- Support actors were great that each one can act in individual script.
Disadvantages:
- Like mentioned before, it's a bit slow-paced(not for me, but in general I would term it as that way) but the slow-paced helps to understand the storyline and make us involved with the story.
- Ending was tooooooo disappointing but definitely a worth watch

A Drama Elevated by Its Cast: Emotion, Romance, and Stellar Performances
Just judging by the screenplay and storyline, this might seem like an above-average drama deserving around a 7/10. However, it goes far beyond that purely because of the outstanding performances by the lead and supporting cast. What an exceptional casting choice!While certain parts of the drama feel a bit slow or repetitive, the anticipation of seeing Ji Bozai and Ming Yi on screen keeps you fully engaged. The same can be said for Yan Xiao, Princess Mo, and the rest of the ensemble, each of them adds depth and warmth that make even the slower moments worth watching.
It’s also been a while since we’ve had a drama with such an abundance of romantic moments, not just in actions but in dialogue and tone. Every exchange feels tender and genuine.
Overall, this is a must-watch drama for those who appreciate powerful performances and emotional chemistry. If you’re someone who focuses solely on storyline and pacing, you might find it average, but if you value acting and connection, this drama truly shines.

A Beautifully Performed Story That Rarely Lets the Light In
This drama is undeniably well-made, with powerful performances and a gripping storyline but it’s not one that made me smile or laugh across its 12 episodes. Instead, it evoked a constant sense of fear, sadness, and unease about what might happen next. I found myself constantly hoping for even a glimpse of happiness for Ah Tang and Tang Yi Xun.While I personally appreciated the drama for its talented cast especially Zhou Yi Ran and the lead actress the script felt overwhelmingly heavy. There should’ve been at least a sliver of light amidst all the darkness. Yes, Tang Yi Xun and Ye Hai Tang are each other’s rays of sunshine, and that was beautiful in itself. But as a viewer, I couldn’t shake the sadness I felt for them throughout.
Because of that, I wouldn’t rewatch this series or recommend it to anyone who prefers uplifting or light-hearted dramas. If you're already in a low mood, I’d suggest skipping this one. But if you're a fan of the lead actors, their performances might still make it worth watching.
That said, please remember this: “There will definitely be a ray of sunshine in your darkest moments.”

A Heartfelt Journey Through Life’s Struggles: A Drama that redefines Love beyond romance
This drama offers a simple portrayal of unseen love, with a deeply emotional exploration of life's struggles. While it may not satisfy traditional romance loverssince the romance only materializes in the final episode and even then, only in the last few minutesit makes up for it with its raw depiction of family trauma, personal growth, pain, and resilience. The focus is on the complexities of everyday life, where financial struggles are not the central issue, but emotional and relational challenges take precedence.The actors did an absolutely stellar job, bringing the characters to life in a way that truly captures the complexity of the story. There are moments where you'll find yourself despising certain characters for their actions, while others will have you completely invested in their journey, making you root for them with all your heart. The cast really justified their roles, delivering performances that are both convincing and emotionally charged.
This show is a reminder that life isn’t always about romantic idealism, but about navigating the hardships that come with love, loss, and personal growth. The slow-burn narrative may feel frustrating for those expecting a typical love story, but if you approach it as a reflection of real lifewhere love isn't always obvious or easy you’ll find a deep sense of satisfaction. In essence, it’s a celebration of life’s imperfections and a reminder to cherish both the good and the bad, because without the struggles, we wouldn’t fully appreciate the moments of love and joy.

A Mature Workplace Drama with Subtle Romance and Real-Life Struggles
This is a very mature drama without unnecessary cringe scenes. It depicts the environment of a typical workspace, both on and off air. While I’m unsure if gender bias still exists in the airline industry for female pilots, the show highlights that women can work in any field they choose. The actors gave great performances, especially Wang Kai, who has completely captured my heart. If you're looking for a sweet romance without any physical affection like kisses or hugs, and prefer a slow build-up until the 38th episode, this is the series for you. However, I believe that at some point, many viewers might feel bored and drop the show. The drama mainly focuses on workplace settings, showing the struggles of employees and the typical challenges with higher-ups. Personally, I found it very interesting and fast-paced, though I would’ve appreciated a few more deeper romantic moments, like a kiss or hug, to make it more balanced.Was this review helpful to you?

Amazing fantasy-historical drama
Let me start by saying that I'm not typically a fan of fantasy historical dramas, but this one has truly changed my perspective. It made me realize that even in the realm of fantasy historicals, there’s a unique charm and storyline that can fully captivate an audience.One of the strongest aspects of the drama is the cast. The actors were perfectly chosen for their roles. For example, Feng Chang in a positive role and Feng Ju as the antagonist—if their roles were swapped, the dynamic of the story would have been completely different, and I don’t think the drama would have had the same impact. Another highlight is the costumes. The wedding dress was absolutely stunning, and I couldn’t help but wish I had worn something like that on my own wedding day. :)
However, there were a few aspects of the story that felt unfinished. Several characters, such as Feng Chang, the former lord of Yongzhou, Bai Langhua, and Lanxi, were left with unresolved fates. It felt like these storylines were left for the audience to figure out, which was a bit unsatisfying. It would have been great to see more closure, especially with the sacred jade plotline. If they had included one more episode, they could have shown Feng Lanxi surviving and ruling the world alongside Huang Chao, which would have added a powerful conclusion. The death of Pu'er was heart-breaking that I cried for hours :(
Anyway, this drama is a must watch and mark my words you will love it :)

Okayish drama
- Handsome ML and cute FL.- Loved the second leads and would have wanted more scenes of them.
- kind of more cringy when the leads are together.
- yes, it's an imaginery concept but this was too too too too too too too too too unrealistic and felt like story was not in a flow in every episode.
- No realistic scenes in this drama and nothing heart touching as well except 1 scene of the heroines dad and ex.
- Good Drama but could have been improved instead of making it a bit cringy

A Drama Worth Watching — But Only After It’s Complete
I can’t understand how quickly each episode flies by. I made the mistake of starting this drama before it was fully completed, and honestly, it’s been really hard to wait for every new episode. After Moonlight, Esther Yu truly proves her versatility she leaves behind her childish mannerisms and delivers a performance that fits her role beautifully. The male lead is impossibly cute, and all the supporting characters have done a great job as well. Overall, it’s a fantastic drama. One piece of advice: don’t start watching it before December 29th, because waiting for each episode is incredibly difficult.Unbelievably good. I honestly don’t know how or when I will get over this drama. I absolutely loved He Yu and really hope Esther continues to take on roles like this in the future. Ending could have been better - just 1 more episode but a MUST WATCH

WORST PAIR
THE MAJOR DRAWBACK IS THE CHEMISTRY PHYSICS OR GEOGRAPHY BETWEEN THE COUPLE.DYLAN WANG IS AN AWESOME ACTOR BUT HE CANNOT BE AN ARROGANT CEO - IT JUST DOESN'T SUIT. IF NOT FOR HIM I THINK THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AN AWESOME ROMANCE BETWEEN THE CEO AND THE AMBITIOUS GIRL.
THE STORY IS OKAY BUT TOOO SLOW THAT I WANT TO QUIT WATCHING CHINESE DRAMAS AS A WHOLE BUT IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FOR ANOTHER ACTOR I THINK THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AN SUPER HIT DRAMA.
THE SECOND COUPLE AND THIRD COUPLE WERE AND ARE AWESOME. THE ROLES COULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED WERE YU YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THE MAIL LEAD AND GUAN JI IN YU YOU'S ROLE AND DYLAN IN GUAN JI ROLE OR JUST DROP DYLAN AND BRING SOME OTHER TALENTED ACTOR. DIRECTOR AND CAST PRODUCERS DID AN UTTERLY FLOP SELECTION .

THE MOST TOUCHING LOVE BETWEEN FRIENDS AND LOVERS
This is the most recent drama that is really good with an inner feel of connectivity to it. The new dramas (especially modern romantic dramas) have no sense of connection and that has becoming bore and feels like no value to watch it. Sometimes personally I start watching and drop in the middle and start watching old dramas. But in this drama THE CAST IS PERFECT, THE COUPLES HAVE GOOD CHEMISTRY/PHYSICS OR BIOLOGY WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL, THE FRIENDSHIP SHOWN IS GREAT AND WE COULD CONNECT WITH THEM AND EVEN EMPATHISE WITH THEM. FROM THE MAIN LEADS TO THE GUEST PERFORMERS ALL WERE PERFECT.Let's say something about the drama now(ofcourse with no spoilers ;) )
- AWESOME STORYLINE
- GREAT DIRECTION
- GOOD MUSIC
- GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND LOVE.
Overall this is a drama after long time (in modern romantic dramas) that one can watch without thinking oh the her is not good or the heroine is not good or the acting is not good or it is too draggy etc etc etc. Let's all watch this drama and support the team from the production(back stage workers to actors) - okay? thumbs up if you will and thumbs down asking me to stop haha : )

Powerful. Emotional. Unforgettable – The Must-Watch Drama of 2025
One of the best dramas I have seen in recent times. The actors delivered exceptional performances, and the emotional depth carries through the entire series. Some characters appear for just a single episode, yet they leave such a lasting impression you can’t stop thinking about them. Every actor, no matter how big or small their role, truly brought their character to life.I have never been a fan of costume or fantasy dramas. In fact, I have only watched maybe three or four in total. But this one stands out far above the rest, thanks to the raw, honest emotions portrayed on screen. Nothing feels forced or hidden it’s all right there, and it hits hard.
What’s even more impressive is that you can’t pick a favorite character. You will end up loving them all, even the villain at times, because of the way their stories are told.
If you are like me and typically avoid costume dramas, start with this one. I guarantee you will fall in love with it.
And YESSSS—Bai Shuo, Fan Yue, Chong Zhao, and Fu Ling will undoubtedly be among the most loved lead and second-lead characters of 2025… at least so far. Let’s see if anyone else can top them by the end of the year!
