Here are some recent coverage by Korean media over the controversy. Most of the media outlets have ceased writing…
Damage is done. Just like every Kdrama star who got accused, and whose name were later cleared, the damage is done. Sure some will reverse and come back and support, but there will be many many people who won't bother reading more, or wont' bother watching due to controversy.
Just like in Ep. 11, when they showed video of the parents crying and pleading. It's the same things, the victims families crying and pleading will cause enough people to still see Snowdrop as controversial. It's human nature.
There will be self doubt and opposition regardless of what JTBC does. Once again, they could have easily avoided ALL OF THIS, but choose to push forward anyway with a script that could be misconstrued this way.
Having Jisoo on the docket was big enough news for a hit drama, but JTBC just shot themselves in the foot unnecessarily.
Like I said, the damage was done, the petitions did it's job. You don't need to hit the target bullseye to damage the product.
The writer and the director had him in mind for this drama. It seems that story is being told from Sooho's POV.
the female characters kind of all annoy me. Even Ms. Pi is so heavily propagandizing the students. It's such dangerous territory to be honest.
She's painting all ANSP as bad people for the actions of the corrupt. I highly doubt the snipers will shoot at innocent college students because Nam Tae il screams it.
The drama said it had nothing to do with the protests and the democracy movement and it's mostly true, but I appreciate…
I feel the show has been consistent in showing Corrupt higher ups, but not necessarily corrupt ANSP as an organization. Like any organization can have corrupt leaders, but can we really blame the people who follow these leaders? They even show multiple times the staff questioning why they are doing what they are doing. It humanizes the ANSP as an organization and scapegoats all the wrong thing it does by focusing the blame on a few people. Even in the Ms. Pi scene, they showed the same corrupt leader doing the act.
If you work in a firm, where your manager is corrupt, and he orders you to do things that are not exactly white hat, would you be ok if people said that you were as corrupt as your manager if your only just following instructions?
They North Koreans weren't framed as commies, they are literally commies. Commies for the most part can be a democratic government's worst opposition. The actions of a few North Koreans, who are already planning on defecting because of fried chicken and girls won't change that.
Just want to say how I am in complete awe and deep captivation about how Jung Hae In perfectly portrayed every…
Lee Min Ho can really learn a lot from JHI oppa.
Although I didn't enjoy JHI's acting in the first half, he is doing quite well in the second half.
That scene I felt could have been constructed better, but it was not bad, certainly tense. because Boon Ok has been shown to be one of the more decisive and smarter characters.
I love how, I thought she should take Young Ro hostage, and that is exactly what she did, a logical reasoning coming to fruition in Snowdrop is rare, and it's always fun to see.
As educators, they have the obligation not to spread these type of ideologies.
Imagine if your democratic teacher started teaching leftist propanda in school. Or vice versa.
the ML's won't die, I am almost sure of it.
But someone will definitely die when all is said and done.
Snowdrop would have been a Fantasy/Romance genre. I am all for it!
You have to watch The Greatest Love. It details part of the Kpop/Kdrama world. And I guess it's pretty accurate.

It's possible she's friends with Boon Ok's sister or something.
But after 2-3 episodes, it heavily shifted to the ML's story, and the FL just became a trophy.
Not sure why female kdrama writers struggle to right female leads properly.
I am already so annoyed at the way Hanna is acting around Kang Moo, so cringe...
