It's not reinventing the wheel, but I loved this drama!
It's lighthearted and fun, and I feel it's best to go into it expecting something easy to watch. If you go in expecting a super serious drama about snowboarding, you're going to be disappointed. This is my third Esther Yu drama which I guess is why her voice didn't really bother me that much but I know that's a common complaint. She is doing what she does best: acting cute and a little pathetic, lol.
But for Wei Zhi, I think it works perfectly. She still is able to hold her own and retain her independence (especially when it comes to standing up for her dream and what she wants to do with her life) and I thought it matched Shan Chong really nicely! This was my first time encountering Lin Yi and I ended up falling in love with how he portrayed Shan Chong. He appears outwardly grump and prickly, but he undoubtedly falls first AND harder for Wei Zhi.
I appreciated that no conflict lasted for too long, and even misunderstandings that I thought would be annoying or take up too much space were handled really seamlessly. It was exactly what I wanted from a fun easy-going drama, and the chemistry was so good!
My only real complaint is that the story did lag at some points, and I feel like we missed out on some development of plots & side plots with 13 episodes getting cut.
