Cheong seol is not a commonly used phrase in the Korean language, and viewers might first think of pristine snow (homonymous characters). But in Mandarin it might be used generally to mean “it is heard” or “they say.” The title still works well in Korean because cheong is definitely a Korean character that clearly articulates “innocent and youthful feel-good rom-com,” with ties to powerful alliterative words: cheong-chun (청춘) meaning youth, cheong-sun (청순) meaning pure innocence; and cheong-ryang (청량) meaning cool and refreshing.
