Snowdrop (2021)

Too many plot holes....

I don't know why this drama can have such high ratings, but honestly it has too many issues and very poor writings. And I am just at eps 5.

First, why the ANSP (or I don't remember their names) guys keep looking for the MC around the school for days even though they were asked to stop, do they have so much free times ? lol.
It's actually hard to understand why Lee Kang Moo keeps looking after the MC right from the beginning.
Too many stereotypes characters too.
Worst one is the telephone girl lol, why is she willing to put the girls in danger just because of her stupid ego...
The way she found the bag was kinda stupid too. Why the hell the girls want to keep a bag with cloths full of blood ? Seriously they should have gotten rid of this right away... And yet they decide to hide this bag the day they know the telephone girl found out about them... And somehow by coincidence she was stalking them that night... (was she going to keep stalk them until she finds something ? Its not like she knew for the bag)

As for the day Lee Kang actually decides to look again for MC at school, by coincidence he had to go there for some money... What a coincidence. And then they are still clever enough to raid a school full of girls and put them in danger, while somehow being able to get dozen of people with him ...

As for MC, kinda hard to appreciate him when he and his 2 friends treat them like sh*t, its not like he is still alive thanks to some of them...

We actually have another dumb character, Lee Kang ex fiancee .... Why the hell would she shoot when they go pick the tel ??? I mean even if she managed to kill MC, the other 2 would kill Kang and the girls for sure...

Overall the show abuse too much on the coincidences making them pretty frustrating... And even after 5eps we still don't know what MC wants to do...

UN DRAMA QUE ME HIZO SENTIR DE TODO

Desde un inicio sabía que no se enfocaba en el romance por eso me intrigó mucho qué tipo de drama sería y sinceramente no sé en qué género lo clasificaría. Es una comedia negra, una sátira al sistema político pero no al movimovimiento democrático.
Me siento poco objetiva al opinar sobre un suceso histórico que no pertenece a mi país pero una vez que queda en claro que no se basa en hechos reales y no está retratando nada verdadero es mejor verlo sin esperar algo ni intentando adivinar qué va a pasar.

A pesar de ser una trama política es fácil seguir la historia, y desde el inicio es un drama que está muy bien hecho. No voy a negar que la historia de Young Ro y Soo Ho fue lo que me hizo interesarme en el drama pero rápidamente me atraparon el resto de los personajes y de las historias paralelas que se cuentan al mismo tiempo. Me sorprendió mucho como poco a poco todas las subtramas se conectaron unas con otras y cómo hasta el final seguimos teniendo giros inesperados. Y aunque en general las historias principales se cerraron, quedaron algunas dudas abiertas, a sea implícitas o a la imaginación del espectador.

Otro punto fuerte de este drama son los personajes. Admito que en un principio consideré como desventaja que el reparto principal estuviera conformado por tantos personajes, pero el drama balancea muy bien sus historias para que podamos conocerlos a todos, con un gran desarrollo y su propia historia que aporta a la trama principal, todos tienen su momento de destacar. Me gustó cómo hay muchos de esos personajes a quienes nunca conocemos sus verdaderas intenciones hasta que sus secretos e identidades se ven amenazados. Y una de las razones por las que funciona tan bien este reparto amplio es porque el cast es muy talentoso, así sean apariciones cortas los personajes siempre causaban un gran impacto porque las actuaciones son increíbles y nunca decepcionan.

La producción realizó un excelente trabajo en las escenas de acción, la calidad y cinematografía es bellísima, pero algo que destacó en especial para mi fue la ambientación de los 80's, cada detalle estuvo muy bien cuidado, desde la escenografía, utilería y vestuario.

Yo lo considero un drama muy completo de inicio a fin pero de un género que puede no ser del gusto de todos.

First of all, the acting was phenomenal. Every actor/actress portrayed their roles beautifully. This is coming from a none blink, but I think Jisoo is a really good actress, the emotion she emitted was realistic, she was made for this role. Jung Hae In also did an amazing job with role and I think this is one of my favorite dramas that I've seen him in. The acting is definitely part of the reason why this drama is so good.

This next part contains spoilers so if you haven't watched the show yet I recommend skipping this paragraph. The only reason I am not giving this show a 10 is because of the plot holes like we didn't get the full story for a lot of characters especially Mrs. Pi and her story. I know a lot of people were also disappointed that Sohoo dies in the end and it's why a lot of people have given it a lower rating. As sad as it was I don't think it made the overall drama bad. In fact, I think the writers hinted at the impossibility of a happy ending from the very beginning. It's definitely a sadder drama so if you want to cry this drama will do that for you. This drama did a good job of showing the harsh reality of the North and the South's relationship through Sohoo and Youngro. It's one of those dramas that's so sad that it's good and so good that it's sad. The love story is so addictive and beautiful and you grow to love it more more as the story progresses. Each episode kept you guessing in a good way as well.

I highly recommend this to anyone especially those who love a lot of action, emotion, and romance. It will put you through all the emotions and might make you cry a little too much. The OST is also one of the most beautiful ones I've ever heard. I hope everyone will get past the ending of the drama and really see it for the overall beauty and message it portrayed.

Amazing drama

Snowdrop has easily become my favourite k-drama. It's only 5 episodes in and every episode has you sitting on the edge of your seat. The actors and actresses in this drama play their role amazingly and every character has an important role. Omg and the cliffhangers has me punching the air because I want to know what happens next, and they don't disappoint. I highly recommend this drama, especially if you want to go on an emotional rollercoaster. Also a big thumbs up for Jisoo and Haein their chemistry is seriously praise worthy. I already knew Haein is an amazing actor but Jisoo made my jaw drop!!! 100% is a must watch.

[Gonna be updating every week] I am speechless!!

Maybe its because how they both look so good and perfect together
BUT i cant help but fangirl about them two, i cant stop squealing at the end of episode 3!!
I dont like the political side of the drama, the one involving Eun Cheong Su and some other guys. My favourite plotline of the whole show is of course the couple and Room 207 Girls xD and basically how they frantically try and hide Soo Ho from everyone else and having BunOk as the annoying girl and a b****. I also dont mind the plotline of where the police chases down SooHo, the suspense is so good! Especially the trailer for episode 4, like shit gonna get down!!!

The OST so far is also good, especially Eruption's One Way Ticket!
Rewatch value cant be fixed now, but im giving it a 10 first especially since its Jisoo's first drama :>

This show is good if you like slow/gentle romance with thrill and mystery! It's honestly such a good debut drama for an actor/actress as this whole drama plot will contain lots of turns and different feelings at different situations! Im super excited to see how the plot develops and what lead to them pointing guns at each other! [Not a spoiler, its in the trailer!]

EDIT 1 EP 5-7
cant help but sigh, so heartbreaking, all the betrayal, i cldnt help but cry along w her

Snowdrop

Snowdrop is a black comedy.
In this Korean TV series, the 1987 student struggles are the backdrop for the drama. It shows the dangers of slavishly following political dogma and the evil nature of some humans. It is not an easy watch. There is violence throughout.
The love story doesn't take over.
There is no clear division between traditionally good and bad sides. Spies are uncovered throughout the series and some characters swap sides readily. Others kill by informing, by making trouble or by bullying. Even the female captives turn on each other with the most trivial of reasons.
The cast is very good from top to bottom. They are mostly young and to be applauded. With great respect, it is nice to see so much of Kim Mi-soo on the screen.
I think the script is very good but I know that there has been criticism.
Be kind.

Totally thrilling ride ..worth watching

First things first, I didn’t understood the backlash the show received. I even read articles to understand the backlash but still came to the conclusion that the hatred this show received is bit too much. Although I am angry at the writer for other things like dragging the hostage situation and making the show just about it.

It’s the first episode that captures my interest in a show and snowdrop grabbed my interest fully with the beginning episodes. I loved the first 3 episodes, the 80s vibe, the first encounter of the main leads, the way jisoo’s character hid soo-ho in the dorm (ah women in love are something else), the open house event, and the bicycle scene ❤️It was all magical.

But it went down for me with the hostage situation. Especially when I realised in the 6th episode that this situation will probably last till the end of the show. I found it similar to money hiest with the hostage situation so thought to skip the show. But then I continued watching it for soo ho and was surprised to discover how every episode peels a new layer of the story and characters. It was thrilling to watch because there are soo many twists and turns within that dorm hostage situation that kept me hooked. I am not the one to watch a show if i have to forcefully drag myself to finish it but this show really kept me hooked until the last episode.

As it was jisoo’s first role as main lead, she did an okay job not very good but okay job . She overall not bad.

Lim Sooho has my heart, portrayal of his emotions in the hostage situation, his action scenes ,those cold expressions literally everything about him was superb. Loved his character.

I wish the writer had not prolonged the hostage situation that much and added few episodes before the hostage situation about love story between main leads.it could’ve been better. I feel bad as the main lead couple hardly had any memories outside the dorm.
