At the end of July, fantasy Republican Romance Drama “Snowfall 冰雪谣”, adapted from the novel “Ru Yue” (如月) by Ni Luo (尼罗) debuted on Tencent Video in a low key manner. The series stars Vengo Gao also known as Gao Wei Guang, best known for his role Dong Hua Dijun in Ten Miles Of Peach Blossom , and Taiwanese actress Ouyang Nana.
Due to not being a major IP project, the drama was shelved for more than two years after filming. It’s also clear from the timing of the release, which was during the Olympics—a period when many production teams are hesitant to air their dramas—that there was little anticipation for the project. Surprisingly, the show has received positive reviews from audiences since its premiere. The plot of century old-vampire falling in love with a blind girl is quite captivating.
Despite the significant age gap between Vengo Gao (41) and Ouyang Nana (24), viewers seem captivated by their on-screen chemistry. Director Li Mu Ge, known for popular works like Good Bye My Princess and Rattan, successfully created a good atmosphere between the two main leads. Many netizens believed that if the director had not been so careful or attentive in details, they could have looked like father and daughter, given their 17-year age difference.
Gao Wei Guang, who has a strong aura, plays the role of a gentleman who, for some reason, turns into a vampire. His deep and distinct sophisticated Republican-era style perfectly fits the character. Meanwhile, Ouyang Nana portrays an innocent and vulnerable blind girl who is a victim of abuse within her own home.
Netizens commented that they were instantly captivated by Gao Wei Guang’s beauty as a vampire, and his acting skills were also praised. They also noted that Ouyang Nana has improved her acting skills.
What Kind Of Story Does “Snowfall” tell?
This is a 24-episode drama. It begins with Shen Zi Heng (portrayed by Gao Weiguang), a century-old vampire who is a dangerously good-looking man with supernatural powers. Though he appears ruthless, he is actually gentle and kind. He is on a mission to find his long-lost brother, Situ Weilian (portrayed by Shi Cheng Dong), and uncover the truth behind a mysterious and devastating incident that drastically changed his life. The story starts with Shen Zi Heng being badly injured after an enemy attack and saved by a young blind girl, Mi Lan (portrayed by Ouyang Nana). From that moment on, their fates intertwine, leading to a beautiful romance blossoming between the two and mysteries unraveling one after another.
