Yeah pretty much. I keep hoping for something unexpected to happen. Like I'm ready for Young Ro and Soo Ho being siblings arc. Anything to break off from this mundane plotting.
But, save for some excellent acting from Boon Ok, and tbh, JHI is just doing his absolute best with the character given to him.
I honestly feel how JHI himself is a prisoner of this weak plot. He is not given much leeway to showcase his acting.
And honestly, young ro is reaching that Nam Do san moment, she's like always sweaty and crying.
jung hae in honestly has grown so much as an actor through his projects and you can see it with his phenomenal…
But Soo Ho's indoctrination on it's own is convincing enough. But when placed in parallel to Gyeok Chan and even Cheong Ya, we realize, it's not very strong.
In fact one can argue, that since Ep. 1, his loyalties were already quite weak and his belief wavering.
I think today's audiences are more mature than that. Instead of trying to force satire, the writer should have concentrated on writing a strong character driven plot that showed proper character growth, which makes us believe in the greyness of Soo Ho's characterization.
Just think about it this way, at 90 minute each episode, that's approximately 24 hours of TV time. Game of Thrones, which has great character development, comes in at 7.5 hours per season. So Snowdrop is equivalent to 3 seasons of game of thrones. That is more than enough time to write a smart, compelling story about Soo Hoo inner conflict. But instead, much of the show is wasted on forced political satire, filler story lines, and single toned characters.

That's what I am saying, the writer is just too conservative in her writing.
I wanted to commend the write for having the guys to have soo ho point the gun at young ro.
But the guns has literally been pointed at everyone with zero ramifications that the whole gun is just like a joke. Which really doesn'take me see soo ho as a bad guy at all. Like the whole thing just doesn't feel very suspenseful when you know that no one is getting hurt. And the fee ones getting hurt at being made punching bags. As if all the bad stuff happens to a select few people that the sense of danger is not spread out and thus inefficient.
The whole premise of the plot feels weak, and it was unecessary to include the political stuff in this one.
And as much as I joke this is money heist,.money hesit is a far superior show with a proper character driven plot.
Kdrama has always prided itself on romance. In this case romance is missing, and the procedural,, legal and political stuff is even weaker.
When the plot should be sprinting, I feel instead the plot is just trudging along.

I wish they had given Gyeok Chan's characterization to him. Would have allowed him WAY more range than the persona of Soo Ho.
The writer is WAY too afraid to make her ML the Chaotic Good bad guy, it's disappointing because JHI is just portraying another victimized character, similar to Young Ro. Which regardless of the layers, there is lack of duality and layers.
i think despite the writer's other flaws, she has at least created intriguing morally grey characters - especially…
What has he done that is considered cruel? As someone who has watched enough of her fair share of thrillers, and Game of Thrones, I have yet to see anything he has done as cruel. It's all quite neutral actually considering the situation. If anything, Gyeok Chan is far more cruel, and would have been interesting if they actually had Soo Ho do Gyeok Chan things. And even then, that's the bare minimum. At the moment Soo Ho is more like Lawful Neutral.
Threats against his sister feel quite empty at the moment because for a few things.
1. By passing on the necklace to Young Ro, he essentially has made Young Ro the most important woman to him, not his sister.
2. The sister showed up maybe 2 minutes in the whole drama, and is only mentioned 2 other times. At least Young Ro's brother has more relevance to the plot.
3. His sister asked him to come back to her. By doing what he is doing now, he isn't going to be able to keep that promise. Which reinforces my 1st point.
I find the whole romance hard to swallow because of the situation they are in, the circumstances that occurred, and the many decisions he has made leading up to where they are now. The inner conflict he is suppose to be showing, feels more of an after effect of the plot line rather than actual character growth. Sure, I am understand enough where the intention lies, but the timeline, emotions, situations, and plot just don't like up in my mind.
- Ms. Pi said that the woman, her teacher, asked her to give boon ok a job. It's possible that woman is Ms. Pi's teacher in Germany.
- I believe it's because he has so much faith in Soo Ho, that he is thinking, "Good Luck trying to kill/capture him"
- Boon Ok actually is a better example of a morally grey character. We see first hand, through plot progression why she is the way she is. She is also given ample opportunities to face the demons her duality has created. She is a well written grey character. The only one written thus far, and probably why I find her the most interesting. It doesn't hurt that Kim Hye Hoon is just putting on an acting clinic in Snowdrop.
At this point, I just want someone, anyone to die.
May be she is the brainy kind of spy ..I mean someone who comes of our situation with her brains rather than combat....no…
But her acting as a doctor, and her acting as a girl boss isn't a huge difference. There should be that huge character shift that I am not seeing unfortunately.
I think Cheong ya is holding her gun kind of weakly.
Not sure if intended. Yoon in na is a great actress, so I am not sure why she seems to have less presence as a leader than soo ho does. Having a hard time being afraid of her.
That soliloquy in the end, WOW!
Soo Ho shouting at Eun Cheol
Gyeok Chan is hot!
Jung Hae In, Gyeok Chan In and Boon Ok, excellent acting in Ep. 10!
Where? I want to see lol!

It has to be only 13 egg whites, or my Souffle will topple.

Some clues suggest she's a double agent, but it's not clear.
She fooled Nam Tae il, because he is an idiot.
