The South Koreans should determine whether this South Korean drama is appropriate, internationals shouldn't get…
Speaking of elections, the next South Korean one is I believe March 2022. So interesting timing for the drama I believe.
Kind of puts the drama's intent into a new light.
On Wikipedia, it says that younger voters are starting to lean more towards the conservative party. The opposite party of the current president. So from a political standpoint, it's not surprising that the blue house allowed a drama that paints the conservatives in a bad light.
The political significance of Snowdrop has made this an interesting political play.
South Korean's current party is called Democratic Party of Korea (liberal), and the main opposition is People's Power Party (conservatives)
Great visuals, great production value, stunning scenery. Lukewarm plot, horrible pacing and tone, complicated…
I'd implore you to watch at least 5.
The long 90 minute run time doesn't help it become dragging in certain parts.
The drama is trying to place too much confusing political arcs that detracts from the main story. So I think 5 is a good number to see if the meat of the story is good or not.
They are releasing 3 episodes next, so maybe watch all those. But yeah at 90 minutes each, and with our busy lives it may be difficult.
Just because a work is fictional, does not mean it cannot create dangerous ideologies and bias. People seem to believe a fictional drama/movie that isn't purely based on actual events can't possibly be damaging.
I will give you an example, the movie Ip Man. It is set in history, but obviously fictional, based on a real person, but for most of the movie, it is completely fictional, lots of creative licenses being taken.
But many people, and rightfully so, have accused Ip Man guilty of wanting to glorify the CCP and to radicalized Chinese nationalism.
Another example is the movie The Downfall. Although some of it is based on historical facts, a lot of it is loosely based, and some of it was conjecture. But it has the same intended effect of making people more sympathetic toward hitler apparent descent into Madness.
As much as we want to believe that movies and Kdrama don't have an angle they are trying to promote, sometimes there is. And the thing about propaganda is that it's no longer posted flyers, or student movements, these days, they are subtle. It could be a hidden message in a movie/kdrama, it could be a popular person that has a right/left leaning philosophy, it could be art works, sculptures and etc...
Right/Left Wing ideologies can be hidden in many forms of media.

Doesn't matter what side of the wall you are on, or your intention for being on MDL, don't allow people to censor you or to attack you personally, this contradicts the freedoms protestors like the ones in Snowdrop are trying to fight for. Let us try to focus the talks more towards the drama, and it's historical/political aspects.

So there is a possible political play here, or some sort of propaganda being spread by one of the parties.
Who knows. I am not well versed in South Korean politics, but maybe there is a left and a right, similar to US politics.

Don't let it change your mind of what you felt about South Korea and it's history. Because that is it's intended purpose.

MDL use to be a great place for ratings on Kdramas, and I use to agree with the ratings based on my personal preference.
But now, seems like any overly hyped drama is being pushed to either 10/10 or 1/10, with tons of people making fake accounts to push their agenda.
Also MDL started changing their algorithm's and I don't know how it works now, but yeah, its hard to trust any of the ratings on MDL.
I've seen this tactic done in other movies as well, but I wish the plot was simplified. It's quite confusing as is.
