Ski Into Love (2025) [+]
Oct 22 2025
Ski Into Love is a pleasant Chinese rom-com running 23 45-minute episodes. Wei Zhi (Esther Yu — Find Yourself (2020) in a supporting role and Love Game in Eastern Fantasy (2024) as female lead) is a talented web comic artist and writer but after an AI image scandal her publisher shuts down her studio and takes away her comic and online persona, giving them to another artist.
She decides to start a new web comic by herself and this time her topic will be something snow related so she and her best friend Jiang Nan Feng (Jenny Zeng) go to a ski resort for inspiration. There Wei Zhi ends up being instructed by former champion snowboarder Shan Chong (Lin Yi).
He's quite prickly and maybe torments Wei Zhi but obviously is attracted since he never takes on beginner students. Meanwhile Wei Zhi is enamored with this mystery snowboarder that she saw in videos but he always wore a ski mask. Turns out that person is Shan Chong.
Even though the western title is Ski Into Love the main sport is snowboarding. At the end of episodes they have snowboarding tips, Wei Zhi cartoons about the episode, or later Wei Zhi animation of her Ski Into Love web comic which I suppose reflects the series title but the web comic is a minor plot point.
Anyway, two other romances are Jiang Nan Feng and snowboarder Lao Yan (Wei Qi Ming) who turns out to have a longer history but she doesn't recognize him because he was much fatter. Then there's Shan Chong's younger sister Shan Shan (Zeng You Zhen), who lost both her legs in a snowboarding accident. Wei Zhi hires her as an assistant web artist before she finds out Shan Shan and Shan Chong are siblings. Shan Shan is secretly dating Shan Chong's former national team teammate Dai Duo (Xia Hao Ran) and Dai Duo keeps showing up to challenge Shan Chong and bully him into returning to the national team (Shan Chong quit the team for undisclosed personal reasons after a serious accident, later on we find out it was for his mom).
Lots of snow and snowboarding action. Lots of seeing professionals (substituting for the actors) doing snowboard jump tricks. Great panoramic ski resort shots. Half the series is spent outdoors in the snow.
Not too much drama. Wei Zhi's former employer is rather spiteful and wants to ruin her career so he does underhanded things. Dai Duo and Shan Chong is more of a friendly rivalry. Wu Man Man (Xu Shi Yue), one of the artists in Wei Zhi's former team, takes on the mantle of Wei Zhi's alter ego and "creator" of her old web comic, but Wei Zhi is never really angry at Wu Man Man and is quick to forgive and towards the end lets her back into the team.
This is a good drama-free romance series with some humor, attractive cast and locations.
