Pi Seunghee said that the NSA are labeling/framing alot of people NK spies to create good results. So I think…
Honestly the way she goes about it is similar to the Republican vs Democrat debates. She is in essence pushing her own propoganda, and because she is in a position of power and in charge of molding young minds it's a dangerous line to walk.
The 3 episodes were scheduled even before the drama started (the message by Jung Hae In and Ji Soo was made during…
Look no further to what are considered top shows on Netflix. Notice one thing they have in common, 10-12 episodes Max. Squid Game, Bridgerton, and Queens Gambit to name a few.
Most Kdrama can be written really neatly and smartly if they limited the number of episodes. But I doubt they will do it, they need the income PPL brings. I"m surprised that Snowdrop set in the 1980's found a way to introduce quite a bit of PPL.
So why is it a Friday, Saturday, Sunday drama? I thought we got 3 eps only for this week O.oSo how will it be…
I think 3 episodes only this week.
Not sure if moving over to a 3 day drama does it very good, the ratings in Korea hasn't hit the threshold of a hit JTBC drama. And giving too much too soon, takes away the anticipation, and doesn't allow enough time to do marketing and promotion for the drama.
For example Itaewon Class averaged around 12% and it's considered a huge hit.
Average JTBC dramas hover around 3-5%, which is where Snowdrop currently is.

In general I prefer drama's that start out good, and peter out in the end, rather than dramas that start out weakly, then get strong in the end.
For example, I felt the writing/acting of Hometown Cha Cha Cha started really well, but sometime after ep. 10 or 11, it all went downhill, but so much good will was enough for me to give it a good rating. While a drama that has a poor start, tend to be difficult to change preconceive notions when it eventually decides to be a proper drama.
The overacting of some of the characters seem like too much caricaturization. And the cartoon villain antics on the show, really cheapens the quality of the drama IMO.
So the fathers of the main couple in the drama are actually "business partners" and know each other. Wow, the…
They are really leaning heavily into the Romeo and Juliet here. I except to see a few deaths along the way. Hopefully they are deserved ones, and not shock factors ones.
The political aspect of the show is really poorly written, in fact, written so poorly, I don't understand why…
I feel it is unnecessary, so far, it's not adding much to the plot. But since the "Fiction" is so close to actual events, it's making me have to google and Wikipedia to find out what actually is true and what is not, which adds more to the confusion.
The plot could have survive without the political background, which is threatening to come to the forefront instead of acting as a backdrop. But yeah, they may not have enough material for a 16 episode 90 minute runtime drama, so I guess that's the main reason.
So so many movies and dramas have dealt with the NK/SK tensions without letting historical events affect it.
And RN when I saw looking at the cast of it , I came across an interesting peice of information Chang su is the…
It was mentioned earlier that Chang Su was the father of Young Ro. His wife is Young Ro's step mother.
After Young Ro's mom passed away, she moved to live with her grandmother. I think this was shown end of Ep. 1 or somewhere in Ep. 2 I forget.
It's not clear where the brother is living, as his clothes are in the step mom's home. But he is in the army, and probably doesn't spend much time at home.
The dynamic of the family is not very clear, except that the stepmom and Young Ro don't like each other.
So as I have said i find the political aspect of this drama pretty difficult to take in ...so I'll take a moment…
Yes. North Korea gets paid money, South Korea defames the opposition.
The thing is we don't know how much of real history Snowdrop plans to use.
If we stick to true South Korean history, the opposition of the militaristic regime is actually the people's choice. Professor Han, may be a possibly candidate for the people, and they are framing him to be a North Korean spy, thus he is seen in the company of NK spies.
In true SK history, Roh Tae Woo wins the elections, and he actually worked for the Dictator Chun Do Hwan, and the people's choices actually all lose. This was attributed to the chaos at the time, and the weakness of the people's choices candidates.
Oh my... How even lol!
