Don't Watch with a Delicate Heart

This is my first time reviewing on MDL, really because I need closure! I can't find myself able to move on.

Story:
I found the concept really interesting, the corruption of government and even the ties between North and South Korea. There were tons of plotholes by the end, but honestly, I was only really bothered by one thing when I reached the finale. I think Yeong Ro deserved better, and more character. Kinda surprised that Soo Ho was more in-depth than our FL. I think it's still a great watch, and I was hooked. Every episode cliffhanger left me needing more... I've never risked sleep for a drama, but there's a first time for everything- and Snowdrop was the first. I was most bothered by the fact that Nam couldn't have just radioed the SWAT team telling them to hold fire on Soo Ho, instead of wasting his time running there... Like what? There was also plenty of time for him to have just gone with Yeong Ro. But it was a destined heartbreak from the start.

Acting/Cast:
Holy hell, Jung Hae In... How did he completely pass my eyes in While You Were Sleeping?! That man's smile just makes you melt. I thought his acting was fantastic too without a doubt. I read lots of reviews and comments saying that people should not have stopped watching just because of Jisoo's acting, but I'm glad I never really saw any comments saying her acting was bad. Because it wasn't. I'm a BP fan, fairly new, but I never really found the thing that made me love Jisoo as much as my bias. This though, holy. I wanna go to a BP concert now. SHE POPPED OFF. I think she did well beyond the expectations of a rookie actress and I'm really proud of her. I hope to see #haesoo in another project for some better closure (happy endings only).

Music:
I thought the OST was great, nothing else to say.

Rewatch Value:
This wouldn't be so high up just because I don't want to put myself through the pain again, but also the drama unveils many plot twists that take away from it's rewatch value because the suspense that kept you going the first time is no longer there.

As an immense fan of Fair Xing and Niu Jun Feng, I was overall disappointed.

STORY:
As far as the story goes, the whole mess that starts off the show has too many holes and in my opinion was too messy. The whole car accident and Su Nian Nian's feelings toward it made me as a very, insanely annoyed. Not going to lie, the show did die down, and got boring within a couple episodes. I really didn't like how Su Nian Nian was put under an angelic light, when a lot of times, she was rude to her elders and peers thinking it was okay even when she wasn't attacked. Gu Zi Chen as a character I enjoyed seeing a lot more, because despite all of Nian Nian's attempts to throw him under the bus or in a bad light, he was always a good guy in my book. From the car accident, to when he saved her in the lake, he was way more thoughtful than what he was recognized for.

ACTING/CAST:
I'll hand it to them, as far as bringing the characters to life, I hold not grudge against the actors and actresses. Instead, I'm annoyed with the screenwriters for constantly writing such nonsense lines. It gave me a headache.

MUSIC:
Despite everything I didn't like, I REALLY liked the theme song, definitely adding the ost to my playlist.
