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.

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

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.

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

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 : )

GREAT DRAMA - MUST WATCH
If you're a fan of romantic comedy and friendzone dramas, this is a must-watch! It’s a light-hearted show that beautifully captures the bond of friendship within a close-knit group of friends who have known each other since school days. The drama also delves into the dynamics of relationships, showing when to step in, when to hold back, when to offer advice, and how to support each other through all of life’s ups and downs.The romance doesn’t take center stage right away; the first half of the show focuses mainly on friendship. But as the story progresses, the romance gradually unfolds in the second half in a natural, seamless way that feels real and genuine – no forced moments or over-the-top acting.
The ensemble cast is definitely a highlight, with every character, from the lovable grandpa to the adorable Xiao Qi, adding their own charm to the show.
Watch it, enjoy it, and take away the best lessons from this heartfelt drama. If you're interested in more drama reviews, be sure to follow my Instagram page @kcdrama_review!

IRRITATING FEMALE LEAD
IRRITATING FEMALE LEAD, BUT THE DRAMA IN GENERAL IS A ONE TIME WATCH.- BEST FRIENDS CONCEPT
- GOOD SECOND AND THIRD LEAD COUPLES
- EVEN A GOOD VILLIAN BUT JUST THE HEROINE SPOILS THE ENTIRE DRAMA, BUT THE HEROINE CHARACTER MATURES A BIT AFTER 15TH EPISODE BUT UNTIL THEN YOU WILL DEFINITELY HAVE A DILEMMA IF WE SHOULD DROP THIS DRAMA. I STUCK AROUND AS I LIKED THE OTHER CHARACTERS IN THE DRAMA.
- NOT A DRAMA THAT WILL MAKE YOU JAW DROP WITH THE ROMANTIC SCENES AS IT WILL BE DEFINITELY SPOILED BY THE FEMALE LEAD.
- THIS DRAMA IS A MERE 7 ONLY BECAUSE OF HER .

WORST MAX ACTRESS
- This drama is a wholesome drama if we take out the character Xu Qin (or) Meng Qin. She is overacting, no acting sense, pulling down Song Yan's performance and the entire team's performance.- All the support actors and Yang Yang(Song Yan) did an awesome job and the entire team are a group of stunning professionals.
- This drama is not worth(Just because of Xu Qin or Meng Qin) of a rating of 8.2 because it becomes boring and lagging after some time.
- Love : Doesn't feel like it at all (or) the girl makes it worse.
- Firefighters: Salute to the actors and also real firefighters in the entire world

The best
NOTHING TO SAY OTHER THAN THE BEST AND THE ACTORS TOOK THE WHOLE SHOW TO THE NEXT LEVEL. MUST WATCH AND A MUST REWATCH SHOW AS WELL. LOVE THE ACTORS AND PARTICULARLY ML (BEAUTIFUL SMILE AND A CALM FACE WITH CHARMING CHARACTER) - LOOKING FORWARD FOR HIS AND OTHER ACTORS SHOWS MORE AND MORE.THE BEST SHOW RUNS TOO FAST AND COULDN'T LET IT GO SO PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A SEASON 2.
- CUTE ROMANCE
- NO BAD BOY OR GIRL
- REAL LIFE LIKE STORIES
- ONLY ONE NEGATIVE AND THAT IS THE SHOW IS OVER QUICK AND UNABLE TO MOVE FORWAD.

WORST CASTING
I'm honestly confused about how this drama has an 8.1 rating. I get that everyone has different tastes, but in my opinion, the heroine just doesn't suit the character at all. She doesn't come across as bubbly, and her innocence is completely missing. As for the romance, I don’t feel any chemistry between the leads—they just don’t seem compatible. In fact, the second leads are much more appealing than the main ones.While the actors did an okay job, I think the casting choices really let the drama down. Honestly, it feels like a waste of time, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. If you’re looking for something to watch, you’re better off rewatching your favorite drama. The actors look too young to pull off these attitude-heavy roles, and it just doesn’t suit their personalities.
The guy, as "DEMO, in GO GO SQUID" was great—he’s definitely more suited for a bubbly, innocent hero rather than one with an arrogant attitude. As for the girl, I loved her in "Gank Your Heart," but here, every time I see her, I can’t help but feel frustrated with her performance.
And don’t even get me started on her wardrobe—it’s honestly so bad, I can't even put it into words. It’s hard to look past, and she doesn’t seem cute at all in those outfits.

COOL MALE LEAD BUT IRRITATING FEMALE LEAD WITH OKAYISH STORYLINE
I have seen many chinese dramas but I have never seen a drama with such an irritating female lead. The storyline was okay and this drama could have been a hit if there was another heroine because the male lead was good with his looks and acting with an overall score of 8/10 but heroine was 0.0000000/10. She might have acted better in other series but this drama is an utter flop just because of her. As a warning PLEASE PLEASE DON'T WATCH THIS DRAMA. Also, in the recommendations I can see Intense love it is not even 0.01% close to intense love and its actors. STRICTLY UNBEARABLE AND UNWATCHABLE.Was this review helpful to you?
