Snowdrop

Snowdrop is a Korean series that begins with a very sweet, romantic, and funny. Turns out, this series is full of endless conflicts in each episode. A series that really drains my emotions and patience. Especially because of the annoying villain characters. Actually in the beginning, I was completely neutral. I support both, whether it's the South Korean police or the North Korean's spies. They were nothing really bad I think. That was when the South police were led by Chairman Lee Gang Mu. He is a police character who is principled, patriotic, and full of charisma. But when the government's rottenness finally begins to show, Lee Gang Mu teams up with Lim Soo Ho from the Northern spy side. From here I really pro them. The South police and government side have become very rotten and cruel. No, It was people from both the South and North Korean parties that are rotten. Yes, this series also mentions how cunning the people in the government are. Here it is shown that North and South Korea cooperate with each other for their mutual benefit. How they deceive the public for money and power. So pity. And the more episodes running, the more people who can't be trusted. It also makes me more furious and impatient. But apart from that, I like the exploring each character that is presented. Through clips of flashback that flow smoothly. Some characters are explored only through their conversations. However, due to the outstanding performance of the casts, everything can be conveyed emotionally and touchingly. I was also interested in the dorm director, Miss Pi, who has a really strict character, but turns out to have a dark past background. Then there is Gye Bun-ok as a telephone receiver at the dorm which is annoying, but always made me laugh out loud hahaha. She's so expressive. She's real annoying but there's sad background that makes me feel a bit sympathy for her. I think the screentime distribution is also very even. Because this series focuses more on the conflicts during the hostage-taking, rather than the love story of Eun Yong Ro and Lim Soo Ho itself. But what I like about it is that their love story is told through their eyes talking to each other. I can really feel the feelings they are trying to express. And it makes me wanna scream!! Argh. Jung Hae In really made me fall in love with all of his performances, the look in his eyes, even his singing. His character is cold but also warm at the same time. Jisoo is also a pretty good actress. I was made to cry several times because of her performances. Her character are very clever and lovely. But imo, at the end of the episodes, her character becomes a bit useless and even becomes a burden maybe. But that's fine. She's still one of the emotional key to the series. I like the ending. Though maybe it's not like what everyone wanted, but I think it was kinda the right choice to end the story, imo. Well, even though the only ships that sailed were Lee Gang Mu and Jang Han-na. That's enough for me, huhu. But, I like the addition scene at the end that kinda like alternative ending, where Soo Ho sings a song at the coffee cafe, and Yong Ro listens to it while staring at him with a gaze full of love. There may be some silly and somewhat forced scenes. In addition, the CGI imo is also not very good. But overall, I like the love story amidst the serious conflicts that this series presents. Don't forget, the soundtrack is very sweet and pleasant to hear. You should hear it too. Click here to listen to the playlist: Snowdrop Soundtrack Playlist
