Interesting. I didn't know original location in the novel is NYC. If they really need snow to create the mood and scenes, then I understand why the drama's location has been moved to Helsinki. NYC doesn't snow that much in the winter. This year, people were excited it finally got 1-3 inches of snow since the last 2 years there was no snow at that level.

She finds out soon enough.

He's so stern and uptight I can't wait for him to meet his "lady." 😁😉

Right?! 😉 I have seen so many sides of this man, except this side, and it’s refreshing!

I can't wait to see Wang Xing Yue as a lead.

OMG! I didn't know until now that AASOL is originally created by the same author who wrote Road Home which is a 10/10 on my MDL list. No wonder I enjoy AASOL so much! 😍

Love Leo! So talented with how he portrays LYY, a man of few words, through his eyes and mannerism.

Keep watching! =)

I normally enjoy dramas more when they have nice and fitting background music and sound effects implemented. Surprisingly, I discovered that this drama is so thoughtfully shot with the leads acting so amazingly that the lack of bgm/sound effect doesn't take away my enjoyment at all. If anything, it forces me to focus and appreciate on other beautiful aspects such as how the leads interact without verbally talking. I can only describe it as taking a walk through a green park in the fall, slowly strolling toward the pond, while observing how the leaves fall from a tree ahead.

Yup, really loving the good-gooey feeling this pair is having.

BTW, whoever dressed LYY has been doing a fantastic job! Did you notice the Birkenstock Boston slipper/shoes LYY was wearing in the laundry room with the sweatshirt/pants set? Really giving off Nordic vibe and fitting as someone living in Finland.

Hahaha, ep 6, one of the students called her "sis-in-law/Mrs.Lin" on way out. Everyone can see through it and already pair them up. Not to mention the "I know" hint of smile on Jiang Yang's face. 🤣 Meanwhile, the leads are still not quite together yet officially. 😍😘

It's almost like a modern day romeo and juliet in a billiard world/jianghu a-la ancient chinese wuxia theme where we have the talented and mysterious 6th Junior Master who got kicked out of the sect, and is now in love with a budding swordmaster from a rival sect. 😁😊 Hehehe. Love it!!!

These two really bring back a lot of memories of youth, romance, and life. It does place a smile on my face. I truly can relate.

There's a thread in the discussion section above with venues noted.

I was thinking the same! Wang Xing Yue looks totally different and fierce in here compares to the other roles he had played before, and I enjoy all of them.

I know everyone mentioned numerous times already, but I have to state it again. Leo Wu can really act with his eyes! And I'm not just talking about the intense stare, but also how his eyes track movements. Since LYY is a character of little words, it's perfect that Leo is cast for the role as his eyes are so expressive and versatile.

ML looks so good in his burnt bomber jacket! 😍😊

By ep 2, she was interested in him.

So far base on what I can tell from ep 1-2, it's in Helsinki, Finland.
