They are called baekgoldan, part of the police. They are in charge to brutally controlling the protesters
Ah so basically riot police. Weird uniforms though. Just caught me off guard as I was expecting more military looking uniforms, and their leader had a suit and clipboard...
Also ask this too yourself."Are we the right person to discuss history of someone else?" Who are we to discuss…
Everyone's got an opinion on Donald Trump. Even people from outside America.
Everyone's got an opinion about the concentration camps in China even though they are not Chinese.
Everyone's got a judgement on Kim Jong Un and his militaristic regime in North Korea.
The Korean war, Vietnam war. The list goes on. Just because your not from that country or culture, doesn't mean you can't join in on the discussion of it.
In the end we are international audiences who have out own views that may or may not align with south Koreans. And that is ok, since it's our views and just our opinions.
In my opinion the writer didn't want to criticize any historical past, the writer just want to show love between…
You can show the love between a North Korean spy and a student without using this particular historical time line.
In fact with the state of North Korean defectors in Korea right now, a plot involving a double agent disguised as a North Korean spy and a woman from college is feasible.
I am guessing the writer wanted to capture some nostalgia in terms of fashion and achitecture and stuff. But then it begs the reason why do many scenes of unecessary politics and history.
I think it makes no sense to use the argument of "this is not historical, this is fiction" when you're defending…
The story was 12 years in the making, so I am sure the story we will see in the 16 eps is probably already changed a lot due to the backlash it was receiving. The original intention was most likely a historical drama, thus they decided to use the real name.
But having said that, with the amount of money they have already spent, and the amount of backlash they are receiving, they most likely changed enough of the story to be able to claim it is fictional. Whether enough was changed or not, is subject to the person viewing of course.
In the end it depends on the portrayal of the "Evil" side. A 9-11 movie that romanticizes the terrorist, or portray them as sympathetic is going to get massive backlash. But a 9-11 movie that tells the story of how courageous the people were, or how strong the spirit of people are is not going to be as controversial.
So if Snowdrop makes any of the known villains sympathetic, we may see increased backlash and controversy, because my understanding is that during that time, the president was really really unpopular to the point that even the current right wing politicians are washing their hands off his deeds.
The show needs to focus more on the protestors and the good guys, and in some ways make the villains as evil as possible to not run the risk of portraying the villains as sympathetic.
While western audiences may be ok with a more sympathetic portrayal of Hitler, for example, the widely acclaimed, and highly controversial movie The Downfall. South Koreans may not be as forgiving, who knows.
Only time will tell if each episode brings in more controversy, or less.
For some reason they keep saying in plot synopsis, adapted from handwritten memoirs. So yeah... Lol!
Who knows. I normally Check wikepedia for fact checking. But I am aware enough to know those articles are written by people who can possibly be misinformed themselves.
Any drama that is controversial is going to have crazy Post counts

If they focus like more than half on the political and historical aspect, then yeah
... Not sure what will happen.
The way they are.pushing jisoo and haein, they should really focus on that romance instead.

The VPN isn't working with disney +
But the ansp seem like they are the good guy trying to capture north Korean spies? Some ansp agents even get targeted by NK spies?

I don't know myself, Its not my history, all I know is based on wikepedia.
And it seems the police already have a list of suspected North Korean spies?
The narrative the show is trying to portray is getting kind of muddled. Like are the police corrupt or are the ansp corrupt or is it the leaders?
I was wondering why are they avoiding college protestors. And the lead guy with the clipboard and suit I thought was a teacher.
They look more like protestors
More probable she's just not a morally good person.
