Yes! Exactly this! The reason Boon Ok's character is so hated and misunderstood is because people only judge her…
It goes deeper than that when you consider the circumstances with her family and sister. Her story is very tragic, and her current predicament is so incredibly relatable to modern society.
her shoving young ro around with the gun was expected, the entire threatening scene and her reacting the way she…
The only reason Ms. Pi is being defended at all is because she is allied with the "Heroes"
Replace Ms. Pi with Cheong Ya, and most audience wouldn't even bat an eye.
Ms. Pi is in herself quite psychotic and neurotic. She is unhinged, the way she acts, can cause danger to herself and people around her. The way she grabbed the gun, Boon Ok could easily have pulled the trigger accidentally, but the audience would still despise Boon Ok.
That's the microism being portrayed here. It takes but one spoken word to declare Boon Ok a witch, but you would need a thesis paper to even prove her innocent.
When your the hero of the story, you have a budget of how many irredeemable things you can do. As an "Antagonist" though? nope, one slip up, and your pretty much devil incarnate.
"It is far easier to judge someone than to understand them. To judge someone, we only need to judge their current actions, but to understand someone is to judge their whole body of work."
where to buy that coffee?? i want to erase all my memories in ep 1-10 !! HOHOHO
The politics stuff is the weakest part of the drama. I don't know what is happening outside the dorm as I just skip every time we are outside the dorm.
the drama doesn't have the tone or emotional build up for a martyrdom to hit home IMO.
And I feel the writer knows this.
All signs point that it's going to be a time skip, meet in another place type of ending. Most likely Germany, since it's mentioned so often. And we know Hye Roung is going there.
Agreed, however he has been away for quite a while. We know that he was in Germany as well.
Since the woman is in charge of operations, she is the one sending the codes. The secretary of Lim Ji Rok, is just letting the father know what is happening.
It is possible the father may have one more spy close by who can help Soo Ho. An ace up his sleeve.
If there is one thing Snowdrop is emphasizing, is how important fathers are. The way the presidents covers up his son's scandals, Eun Cho's feelings for his son/daughter, and how lim ji rok feels about his son.
In fact, interestingly enough, it's the mothers who are being shown to be heartless. Starting with the stepmom of young RO. Even Ms. Choi is seen as a heartless mother.
How ironic the conversation of Kang Moo and Boon Ok, pure irony.
But Snowdrop has proven that there are no heroes, and no villains. Only victims. And yet, people just constantly pitchfork against Boon Ok.
Heck, people would rather have Cheong Ya than Boon Ok at this point, all because she shows concern for Soo Ho.

-Boon Ok is Life Movement-
Her contacting ANSP also makes sense, when you consider what KCY did to her.
Her current story arc is very tragic, but at the same time, you need to understand to nuances of it to fully see her side.
Women are stronger than that.
I don't know enough of SK politics, but it seems very biased versus protectionist and conservatives values.
Tragic backstory, is just a part of it, but it's what is currently happening now as well as her relationship with Ms. Pi and Young Ro.
