Political turmoil can't NOT end in a tragedy. The fact that I felt LDH and JHI gave off very similar vibes from DoHyun's earliest projects... the fact that I watched Youth of May with a heavy heart, dreading the ending, but loving it nonetheless.... the fact that Snowdrop is set around the successor event to Gwangju Uprisings.... The knives are coming at me, and I'm planning to enjoy all of it. If Snowdrop is even 50% as good as Youth of May, i'd be super happy. Something about tragic, doomed romances is so forbiddingly appealing T_T Cannot *wait* for December. This is going to be Sooooooo GOOD <3
The summer of 1980, my dad finished his graduation and came back home.... May/ June. He is 2 years younger than what Hee-Tae is (medical is a 5 year major, plus Hee Tae decided to take a drop year). Gosh, to think my father could have been in Hee-Tae's shoes, sends a chill down my spine. 80's, afterall were a turbulent time for the youth.... all over the world.
For those of you asking 'does somebody die?'..... It's the equivalent of asking if a movie set around WW-II has casualties? I mean, we all know what happened with the sinking of the Titanic. Did it stop you from watching the movie? This drama is set around a bloody political turmoil of the 80's. A real-life event. Of course, there will be a significantly high death-toll. If you can't stomach the idea of it, then this is not for you.
Those focusing on if the leads make it out alive, you guys are completely missing the big picture: just how *many* lives were lost that May, and continue to affect living, breathing people in 2021.
Same! I did some research after this drama’s first couple episodes and it’s quite sad :/ prepare for that
I'm guessing I'll find you in the Snowdrop comment section too. Will arrive with my Kleenex. Am I too foolish to think that will have a 'happy ending'? Maybe xD
ok but just wanted to say i feel you, i waited for the finale to finish before doing my skincare for this exact…
Oh my god, the only reason i stopped myself from bawling for the full episode was because of skincare, lmao. But after the 2021 time-skip, all efforts were futile. My retinol was washed away by bucketful of salty tears T_T
Myung Soo. Got not only his noona, but his dad killed. in the SAME friggin way, in a span of 24 hours. Kid never…
I'm super pissed because MH was the HERO of the show, and NOTHING less. She kept saving the day, but the writers gave her a silent, anonymous death under the starry sky, as the plot-armor over the protagonists timed-out. How anticlimactic!!!! :/ :/
Like it was a waste of her existence. The least Myung Soo could do was to grow up and become an Olympic sprinter for the national team, but nope, he became a priest.
The twist at the end is SO good, y'all!....The old bum in the hat, and the skeleton. Oooof! More than half the peeps got half of it wrong atleast. Kudos writers <3 This is coming from somebody who's tired at the predictability of k-dramas with their ep.8 kisses, and ep.11/ ep.15 (pre-finale) mandatory break-ups :D
So, let me get this straight. Worst bro of the year award goes to:
Myung Soo. Got not only his noona, but his dad killed. in the SAME friggin way, in a span of 24 hours. Kid never learns. No wonder he became a priest to cleanse his soul from all that guilt, after that. I rooted for you lil' bear. But you suck.
The little brothers are adorable... even the SML (Soo Ryeon's brother) won some major brownie-points with me <3 Dysfunctional families for sure... but the brothers are MVPs! :D
With months worth of drama-hours under my belt now, I rarely get SLS in terms of 'oh, the SML should have got the girl'. It's more about 'damn, they totally sabotaged his character, and I feel bad for the SML, and I wish he had got a better arc' kind of a SLS. It was never 'about the girl', like is she some prize to be won??!! Give me a story with a SML who has moved on, and is leading his best life ever, instead of moping and wallowing in rejection & sorrow...... and I *wont* be mad. :D
"there is a genre of story that only Kdramas do best (in my opinion) and that is: SLICE OF LIFE." ..... chingu, i'd suggest you try a few j-doramas before you conclude this.... seeing your tastes here, i have a feeling you'd *love* j-doramas (the ones tagged slice-of-life atleast)... japan is known unequivocally and unanimously to have started and eventually perfected the art of 'slice-of-life'. ^^
Sometimes, the way Esther pouts and puffs her cheeks, or randomly giggles, reminds me a lot of Moon Ga Young from True Beauty (although they are wildly different characters)... their brand of 'innocent cute' is quite similar i feel <3
I feel like the ZC's part was written with DYX in mind and how cute he is when he's jealous. ZC's entire life…
he has an incredibly boyish face that looks super-cute when he frowns. and more than jealous, he acts petty, and i love that about him. neither of our main leads are 'sha bai tian'.... and hence feel very real *because* they are so flawed :D

Watch her become equally as stunning, in a few years! <3
