Dubai: When life skids off course, sometimes you have to retreat to move forward. That’s exactly what acclaimed manga artist Wei Zhi, played Esther Yu, does when a plagiarism scandal threatens to end her flourishing career in 'Ski Into Love'.

Seeking anonymity and escape, she checks into a picturesque ski resort nestled in snow-covered mountains — a world away from the spotlight.

Enter Shan Chong (Lin Yi), a reserved yet charismatic ski instructor with a few scars of his own. Their paths cross on the slopes, and what begins as a chilly standoff slowly transforms into a warm, transformative connection.

As Wei Zhi rediscovers her passion and begins to sketch a new chapter of her life, the snowy backdrop becomes more than a refuge — it becomes the canvas for an unforgettable love story.

With stunning winter visuals, heart-tugging chemistry, and a story about second chances, Ski into Love on Netflix has hit the sweet spots.
