Kimsamsoom

In episode 3, he kept taking Seoul huis hand even when she keeps pushing him away.

He keeps making unwanted advances on her.

It was beyond creepy.

Know about what specifically?

she certainly has that innocence and naivety down pat.

I just wish her emotions and acting are more consistent. Like for example Hwa Reong is a bich, and she is consistently portraying one. Young Ro on the other hand, sometimes i see that young naïve college girls, other times I see a different character.

And I get it, it's hard to maintain the same characterization across so many days of filming. It's a skill she will have to develop to get viewers to more fully be invested in her characters.

2. That's a bit of a stretch, why not just make them sneakers at that time? I guess Nike had to get their PPL in there LOL! How much is the PPL for an empty box? Half price :)

3. It's possible, but then that brings up inconsistency with her character then... would make more sense to let them know she knows, and actively help them.

5. AFAIK from other spy movies I watched, that's normally not how it works. But yeah ANSP is pretty incompetent in this one. I mean Sun Ho was literally meters in front of ANSP agents, and they were literally gossiping.

ANSP are starting to look like one of the most incompetent spy agencies I've seen in movies.

From the previews, I have a feeling a majority of this drama will be filmed in the college. Must have cost a pretty penny to rent such a beautiful location that they are maximizing the usage.

You have my respect friend. I was almost half expecting you to personally attack me, and call me a hater and stuff. I've been getting those a lot lately.

People are so sensitive these days, they can't handle it if their favorites, or their drama get's a little bit of criticism.

I will keep an open mind, and continue to monitor the drama respectfully.

I don't think it was just his colleagues, I think he was also implicit in them. Because in Ep. 3 he mentions, and when you would have "us" to do those things, which seem to imply Gang Moo was also guilty of the atrocities.

I think Gang Moo represents a change in the thinking of the ANSP, and that is why he is able to command his squad to be loyal to him, because he represents the new ANSP.

In fact, the only corrupt ANSP agents appear to be the chief, and the Director. All other ANSP agents appear to be doing their jobs of capturing NK spies.

Now I am confused, isn't Gang Moo part of the ANSP?

to help speed up the clarification of the confusion on the controversy, JTBC is releasing 3 episodes this weekend, starting with Friday.

Like, I can understand he has stuff on his mind, but compare Hyun Bin's portrayal of a NK officer, and compare Jung Hae In's portrayal of NK officer.

It's like night and day.

I am just not sold on his acting in this one, and yes the chemistry with Young Ro, is very one sided. And his face is so expressionless, is he like this in his other dramas?

It's normal for me to review, per episode. If time permits, I will do this for all 16 episodes. If I get busy in the new years, I may stop.

I don't know who Jung Hae In is, I explicitly stated that I haven't seen Jung Hae In other dramas, and made an observation based on this one.

Why can't I make an assessment on someone's acting based on 1 drama? Do I need to see their whole body of work to know so? I watched Lee Min Ho in ONE drama, and I assumed he was a bad actor, I didn't need to watch his whole body of work.

For being a leader of a squad of NK spies, jung hae in , just isnt' making me feel it. That is all. That may change, but as of now, I feel nothing. Sure he is handsome, but so is Lee Min Ho. In fairness Lee Min Ho is more bland.

I felt she could have shown more emotion in that scene. That was one of the scenes I felt she was kind of one-toned.

I thought her face was much more natural when she was "dancing" with Sun ho.

Gang Moo, and his team ignoring the Chief of ANSP kind of defeats the purpose.

I think people wanted a completely evil depiction of ANSP, from top to bottom.

Showing Gang moo and his men directly disobeying orders, actually shows that the ANSP weren't all bad.

MDL ratings.

Also, if your talking about viewership ratings. It's Christmas, so don't expect much. Also don't expect very high ratings, because it's not even on Netflix. PLUS, it's on JTBC, not exactly the biggest cable station in comparison to TVN. 3-4% if I recall correctly is pretty standard for a JTBC drama.

8-10% is considered a runaway hit for JTBC standards.

Gwang tae is a sexual predator, the scene at the cafe made my skin crawl. Not surprised it's the 1980's, and even in modern 2021, South Korea has ridiculous double standard and discrimination against women.

Gwangtao is a manipulative sexual predator.

Boon Ok's actions are an effect of a lifetime of condescension, social bullying, and low self-esteem.

Ahh thank you for clarifying.

considering her age, Ms. Pi may be part of the Gwangjju Massacre.

So, your implying there is a right way to watch a drama? Oh boy... Your way or the highway huh?

When I write, I try to put the most logic, I emphasize it's my opinion, and I also emphasize people should be free to watch or not. I am neutral on most of the issues and controversy surrounding this drama.

If you cannot tell the difference of the way I write, and the way Rubber Soul writes, then there is no point in continuing this conversation. The fact that you lumped us together, just proves to me, that you haven't even read half of what I've written. If you had, you would see me actually encourage people to watch Snowdrop and not drop it.

I know it's fashionable to jump on the throats of anyone who even dare criticize Snowdrop, but keep in mind it's not a nice thing to do, and you seem level headed enough to know that.

Karma points, according to MDL is a combination of the number of friends, the number of people liking the reviews your write, and the number of likes your post/comments generates. So as much as you dislike the way I write, or how I analyze dramas, apparently, A LOT of people do not.

Jisoo has a lot of Anti's, does this mean she is doing something wrong?

I find the writing weak, but the story interest me enough to continue watching. And even if the story stopped being interesting, I enjoy writing in a live-airing environment.

If you think that by criticizing the show, I can't enjoy it, your wrong. Just because I am criticizing it, doesn't mean I utterly hate it. This show is already getting a higher rating from me than Start Up did, but lower than Hometown Cha Cha Cha.

Ms. Pi

From the scene in Ep. 1, it is clear the mistrust for ANSP isn't everyone in the dorm. Room 207 has mistrust, because Jeong Min is a protestor and Young Ro's brother was unfairly arrested. The Headmistress (Ms. Pi has had a bad experience with them (we don't know exactly what yet). The old man, I don't know why.

Keep in mind ANSP is suppose to be the predecessor of the NIS, so it's basically the FBI of South Korea. Pretty sure the dealings and actions of Young Ro's father isn't national news. Most of the mission, just like any spy agency, will be off the books, and top secret.

As of Ep. 3, even though there are a few mention that ANSP used to do despicable things, the presence of Gang Moo and his loyal team, has shown a more sympathetic side to the ANSP. In fact, the ANSP, with Gang Moo in the lead hasn't been shown to do anything evil yet.

Exactly, we notice the sound stopped, just music. And if he goes back to her, even though we know the ANSP is coming, and he still gets away? That is just major plot hole. Plus because of the dancing scenes, we know Young Ro is a day dreamer.

It has to be a dream, otherwise he will be caught, since neither Sun Ho or Young RO knows the ANSP is coming.
