I think happy ending. I wrote my prediction ending, and it ends well.
The romance is already pretty hard to believe to be honest, love at first sight or not. Magic Coffee can only do so much.
For them to be separated, spend years apart while Soo Ho is in prison (unless your saying he will escape in the first week he is in prison). And then meet up to get married while they know almost nothing about each other, so fast, with off screen courtship implied, and then another time skip seems meh to me. It's completely unnecessary and would only exist for the sake of fan service. Plus it doesn't solve the fact that NK will hunt Soo Ho down. NK has already been shown to have spies literally everywhere, finding Soo Ho and Young Ro would not be hard. One of them may die in this particular ending, and I was trying to avoid Young Ro and Soo Ho's death in my ending. Plus a fake death would fit the theme of Romeo and Juliet.
My ending, ends it as logically as possible. But yeah of course, the ending you suggested is plausible as well, why not.
Snowdrop is not Game of Thrones. We won't see evil triumph over good here. Plus it's Disney, good triumphing over evil, is literally their motto. I am quite sure, all the villains in the show will get their comeuppance. I don't know what will happen to the step mom, but I am sure she will not escape unscathed.
As for Boon Ok, she's my favorite character, and so I gave her a redemption ending. I would rather have her live of course, but I am realistic, no one is going to sympathize with her unless she dies doing something heroic.
I think happy ending. I wrote my prediction ending, and it ends well.
Ok let me flesh out my ending prediction to include more characters. What I expect to see in the next few episodes.
After finding out that Young Ro is the ANSP directors daughter, the dorm hostages will start turning on her, led by Hye Roung and Seoul Hee. This act will make Boon Ok see Young Ro in a new light, and realize that they are not that different from each other, and Boon Ok will start softening towards Young Ro. This will be the beginning of Boon Ok's redemption arc. Kang moo and Soo Ho on the other hand will have a little bit of trust issues as they deal with the fallout of Kang Moo's apparent betrayal.
In the mean time, Cheong Ya will be wheeling and dealing, and eventually fool Chief An's wife to give her the money necessary for the scheme. They may try to show some sort of cliffhanger, where it "Seems" Cheong Ya has betrayed them. But in reality, Cheong Ya's love for Soo Ho will persevere. She continues with the rest of the plan and contacts Lim Ji Rok to tell him, she has the money. Lim Ji Rok not satisfied with merely the money, is angered that Soo Ho has become an insolent puppy, will give Cheong Ya the instruction to kill Soo Ho. Cheong Ya is aware that Hanna is surveilling her and will confront her, they may have a fight scene of some sort, but eventually Cheong Ya will convince Hanna that she wants to help Soo Ho and Kang Moo. They hatch a plan of how to re-enter the dorm. Two things may happen, either Hanna and Cheong Ya sneak back in, or Hanna will take Cheong Ya "Hostage" and this will stop Nam Tae il from blowing up the dorm. But before they do this, they will free that reporter Gil.
In the mean time, with Cheong Ya outside, nothing will stop Nam Tae il from surging forward to attack the dorm. Eun Chang Su's recovery is still being hidden; being shot has made Eun Chang Su a new man, he finally realizes the sins of his party, and starts constructing a political power play showing the corruption of the ruling party. He starts gathering evidence, which he will later give to reporter Gil.
With the attack towards the dorm being inevitable, everyone puts their difference aside and prepare for the attack on the dorm. The ANSP attacks the dorm, and gunfight ensues. During the gunfight in the dorm, some people will get killed, a total of 13 of the girl hostage will be killed. Gyeok Chan finally seeing the error of his way ask Soo Ho for a gun, and covers the exit in rambo style as the rest of the hostage escape outside through the shrine. Gyeok Chan and Eun Cheol, finally putting aside their difference will die together while defending the hostages. Boon Ok, also dies during this time, but not before Ms. Pi protects her, who also end up dying. We find out the true relationship between Boon Ok and Ms. Pi.
While escaping somehow Soo Ho will "Die", and Young Ro, Kang Moo will witness this. As Young Ro is tearfully wanting to approach Soo Ho's lifeless body, she is dragged away by Kang Moo. The screen will turn to black and we will have a small time skip.
Gil, having been released earlier, will report all the wrong doings of the ANSP. The reason he has so much evidence, because Eun Chang Su finally does the right thing and snitches on all the wrongs of the ruling party. This will eventually end up being the final nail in the coffin, and the ruling party is defeated. Nam Tae il is sent to jail and scapegoated as being the main man that is trying to kill the hostages. The public turns on the ruling party, and on election day the opposition wins. Chief An, ever the opportunist, will attempt to spin things in his innocence, but Kang Moo and Hanna will bring him up on charges, and he will also go to jail, with Gil actually being living proof of Chief An's corruption.
Gil also reports that all the NK spies have been killed. Cheong Ya returns back to NK and keeping her promise to Soo Ho, she confirms the kill and brings back Soo Ho's locket as proof, and Soo Ho's sister remains safe because of this. Disillusioned by her party, she eventually moves to a country like her discussion with Soo Ho in Ep. 13, bringing Soo Ho's sister with her.
Another time skip, and we see Seoul Hee and Lee Gwang Tae getting married. We see that in truth Seoul Hee's family has no money and Lee Gwang Tae doesn't know about it. During the wedding we see a somber Young Ro. After the wedding, an unknown stranger gives her a recording, which she then listens to. It is the recording of the voice of Soo Ho telling her how much he loves her and etc... In the tape, he mentions a special place that he loved when he was studying in Germany, and he wishes that she will one day visit there, no matter what happens to him. After listing to his recording, she cries, and vows to one day honor Soo Ho's wishes. The scene turns to black.
5 years has passed and somehow Eun Chang Su actually gets elected to presidency. Most of it is because people considered him a bit of a hero who had a lot of tragedy happen to him, and was the person who was ultimately responsible for the downfall of the ruling party. Young Ro graduates from university, and bids her father farewell. Young Ro goes to Germany to visit this place that Soo Ho mentions, and is surprised to see it is a record store, similar to the one where they first meet. Young Ro cries a bit as she reminisces how she and Soo Ho had met and bonded. The person manning the store is the same foreigner as the one in Ep. 13.
The final scene goes like this...
Young Ro: Do you have one way ticket by Eruption?
Foreigner: One second, let me ask my manager.
The foreigner goes behind the curtains and some conversation can be heard.
The ambient music in the store suddenly stops. And we hear the song One-Way ticket start playing in the background.
Out of the curtain comes out Soo Ho, sporting a thick mustache. In his hand, he is holding some Magic Coffee.
The screen cuts to black.
The End
P.S.
I don't think the identity of the mole will ever be found out. But it could possibly be the old man, who is later captured and sent to a political prison. And his useless son, will end up visiting his father to take care of him, and that will be the end of their arc
To be honest, I feel bad for Soo Ho, but I don't really feel the tragedy of Young Ro.
Her family isn't very close in the first place, and they don't seem to have a relationship. She's in her 20's and crushing on a guy she has known for maybe maximum one week?
With Snowdrop for example, I keep expecting something amazing to happen, and when something mundane happens instead, I can't help but stifle a bit of a disappointed groan.
I think Snowdrop would have done well not to have a romance.
In the "Netflix Era" with runtimes for episodes going as much as 90 minutes, it becomes difficult to write a good drama. In fact, most of the drama's i've watched, save for a few, have really poorly written plots.
I have noticed that the first 5-7 episodes are written quite well, then suddenly the writer realizes they have another 8 episodes to go, and they made so many plot points that needed to be closed that they just rushed them.
Unfortunately, most Kdrama just has to have romance. Writers are unable to write a drama that has platonic relationships. So sometimes romance is not even needed for the story, yet these writers will force the issue anyway.
For them to be separated, spend years apart while Soo Ho is in prison (unless your saying he will escape in the first week he is in prison). And then meet up to get married while they know almost nothing about each other, so fast, with off screen courtship implied, and then another time skip seems meh to me.
