Snow Pear Stewed with Rock Sugar became popular for two reasons. First, the casting of this drama was relatively successful, and second, the plot of this drama was quite draggy.

The casting was successful

The drama "Snow Pear Stewed with Rock Sugar" is adapted from Jiu Xiaoqi's novel of the same name "Snow Pear Stewed with Rock Sugar". This drama tells the story of Su Su, played by Wu Qian. The skater girl Tang Xue reunites on the university campus, played by Zhang Xincheng, the ice hockey god Li Yubing. The two find true love in the process of chasing their dreams on the ice.

There are no popular actors in this drama. Zhang Xincheng graduated from the Central Academy of Drama. He was the person who created the myth of the entertainment industry's college entrance examination candidates during the college entrance examination. Although he was not very popular during his school days at the Central Academy of Drama, his acting skills were recognized by many teachers.

Whether he plays Li Yubing, who was a little bit of a douchebag at the beginning of the misunderstanding, or later became jealous and struggled for his dream, he handled every stage very well.

Wu Qian graduated from Wuhan University. She first started out as a book model. Later Wu Qian rose to prominence with Xiao Zhao Mosheng, and later starred with Lu Han in "The Legend of the Destiny" where she played the ghostly elf Luo Luo. The little princess gained a large number of fans from passersby. After that, she starred in "I Only Like You" with Zhang Yujian and "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" with Huang Zitao. She has always been well-behaved and lively, which is very suitable for the role of Tang Xue.

The plot is unconventional

Although Snow Pear Stewed with Rock Sugar is also a youth campus idol drama, this drama is different from the Mary Sues we have seen before. The heroine is the Virgin Mary , anyway, the screenwriter’s Golden Finger is the most popular among the female protagonists, and is admired by all the stars, but in the end the male and female protagonists will definitely be together.

The background of this drama is ice sports, short track speed skating, and ice hockey, which are often seen in our Winter Olympics. It is also something that society has paid more attention to in recent years, but not much is known about it. This drama allows us to learn more about ice sports through the reunion of the male and female protagonists, who meet, get to know each other, and fall in love with each other.

To sum up, this drama became popular because of its fresh plot and appropriate casting.
