Literally NO one is doing their job! People are busy saving their own kids, their own ass, their mistresses, their lovers, etc.... nobody is thinking how to solve the situation. What a mess! xD
Hanna, the most emotionally-compromised & hormonal Intelligence Agent I have ever seen. She's so useless, istg. Along with Mr Nam, who only screams his ass off.
About the question why people don't wanna open a discussion over this is mainly because of three reasons:1. They…
There are some topics in every country, nobody wants to go there.... I think that might be the case here. JHI's comment 'I was born a year later, so I'm in no place to comment' is a stand that's telling enough. Unless S-Korea doesn't teach their own history to their school-kids, thereby producing himbos like JHI, which I suspect he isn't. Usually, creators, if they have aimed at something profound, like opening up a political debate and questioning the narrative... are REALLY proud of it, and would not miss a single chance to boast about it. Intellectual exercises are seldom a cause of shame. The fact that nobody has claimed such a profound aim behind making Snowdrop, is also equally telling enough, imo. Let's just enjoy it for a show that's airing on Disney+ :P
Honest question.I seem to see some posters wanting to skirt the issue of the controversy, rather than discuss…
Hey, this is a can of worms that nobody wishes to open, okay? At least not on MDL. It's a larger argument on democracy versus authoritarianism; left or right-wing inclination to political ideologies aside.
>>As if enjoying Snowdrop, and giving credence to some of the claims cannot work hand in hand?<< I'm sorry but personally I only have so much of free brain-power left after a day's work, and I would rather spend it discussing possible plot-threads, than discussing realpolitik online. And with all due respect to creators, I do not think a Disney platform drama was ever aimed at discussing the moral-spectrum of S.Korean politics around the 87' era. Especially since the creators have stressed how they have chosen to distance themselves from some real-time events occurring parallel, in their country. Post ep. 5, I truly believe that pre-election '87 period seems to have been chosen as the setting for ~dramatic tension~ & ~angst~, & probably not intended at opening up a debate on whether autocrats are ~evil~
So, this time LDH's character is the one who's a date substitute, instead of GMS's character in Youth of May... hmm, interesting! <3 Can't wait. I really needed a sweet romcom from them, post the finale trauma of YoM! T_T
I never watch the older adaptations so I still didn't know the plot very well so,can someone tell me will anything…
Lol, no.. they aren't official for a VERY long time... There's also a lot of angst & drama because Ren will 'suddenly & magically' discover he has a big thing for 'his best-bud's girl' Gorya, and will decide to jeopardize his friendship to pursue a girl who had a massive crush on him. There will also be the classic 'evil mom-in-law' arc where Gorya will be asked to back-off from Thyme in exchange for money, and will have to move to a seaside town with her parents! There are also minor sub-plots where communication gaps, Thyme's past hit-list folks beat the crap out of him, etc... which is why Gorya will have reservations if indeed she can date a person with such a background and have a shot at happiness. Thyme will ultimately prove he is worthy of everything she has to offer, and more :')
No, this show should have been called 'Snowball' instead. What seemed like a minor mission to capture an economics professor, snowballed into a hostage situation and a diplomatic crisis. What even -_-
Well, then Soo-Ho's dad will also get the axe if he gets exposed by the Supreme Leader. Which makes me think, he is representing the Kim family there (& not acting on his own). Which means, all of the 400mil is going to the Kim family coffers. And not to him directly. I wouldn't sacrifice my own son over it, lol! YR's dad... well he's a wishy-washy character who I cannot understand how he managed to land up in a position so big! He doesn't have anything to gain either, other than seeing his boss become 'elected' the President again.
They are trying to get an economics policy making Prof to defect over to the North, make it look like the opposition is colluding with the North... And the North sent in a grand mission of spies, ammo, guns, manpower, etc, to bring a harmless prof to their side, in exchange of some chump change. What's funny is, neither Soo-Ho or Yeong Ro's dads have anything to gain monetarily or influence-wise by seeing the plan goes through. I honestly thought there would be a larger scheme. but kidnapping a prof just seems silly for so much trouble! xD

Do we, as viewers, know more? What are the theories? :P
