Wait a holy second. Does the flashback where the character played by yoo in na ( doctor) asks male lead for that…
Not necessarily. She is a higher ranked spy and might be just making note of his vulnerable points or testing his loyalty. Just like now in the dorm, I don't see her being jealous, I see her sharply observing him to decide whether his ideologies are intact.
that last scene of ep 8 where sooho feels youngro's hand going lower on his back and does nothing, what was he…
He might be a seasoned killer for all we know, but you bet he never had much experience with women 😂 he is obviously not from the James Bond school of spycraft...
According to some articles, the working title of Snowdrop was Ewha Dormitory. (of course, everything written during the controversy is to be taken with a pinch of salt, because those who tried to stop the drama lied like there's no tomorrow) Anyway, I think it might help to manage expectations - most of the story will be likely spent in the dorm...
South Korean are going to fairly vote for an oppressive militaristic regime which had many war crimes because…
Guess you don't know how easy it is influence people with propaganda... Wars are even started to rally the support of the citizens, when an authoritarian leader becomes unpopular.
In real life Korea, people still voted for the ruling party in 1987. And a couple of years later, they democratically elected to president the daughter of one of the military dictators.
North Korea - they want money. Don't care if their people dies to get it.South Korea has 2 people with different…
Mostly correct. Neither SK men care about the lives of the hostages, except for Youngro (Eun Chang Soo) or Dr Kang (Nam Tae Il).
Also, both SK guys are more interested in political gains than what actually happens with the spies or the other hostages. They will kill them or keep them alive depending on what is the best political outcome for them (short term for the elections & long term to keep the NK cooperation going)
I think a lot of people still don't understand why jtbc said that episode 5 will clear up the history distortion claims: it is because that's when the hostage situation started.
History says that there was no such thing as North Korean agents holding hostage a dorm of girls in the middle of Seoul in 1987.
So from that point on, it is obvious that Snowdrop is not the retelling of actual historical events, but an entirely imaginary tale. Those looking for an illustrated history lesson should search for a different drama.
If Snowdrop is meant to be PURE fiction, why do they use names of actual organizations and detail accounts of…
A fictional story deviating from real history doesn't mean it has a plot hole. It merely means that the story is fictional and not a documentary.
Plot hole is an inconsistency that cannot be explained by the setup and internal logic of the story itself. So far, nothing like that happened in Snowdrop. Also, calling something a plot hole while the story in ongoing might be premature, because we might get a logical explanation later. We don't yet know all the cards the writer is holding.
(First of all, deep condolences to the family of the deceased and may her soul rest in peace. )Btw I don't wanna…
Her family asked people to respect their grief. Her fellow cast members probably met today on her funeral, talked about posting pictures to commemorate her, and asked permission from the family first.
"Snowdrop's production company has reportedly witnessed rapid surge in stock prices following the k-drama's increased…
There are a bit more to it than just Snowdrop, though - it is not their only drama after all. As far as I know, they are also behind the Nerflix drama All Of Us Are Dead, which just recently got a broadcast date.
It's Saturday 5am in Korea now, and jtbc still hasn't issued any official notice that they would change the airing schedule. So most likely the broadcast will go as originally planned.
This is quite simple: they are not just planning for one political cycle and one election. Code 1 is the current…
Please stop referring to real life politics. This drama's story is FICTIONAL. There was no hostage situation in the middle of Seoul in 1987. Obviously, none of the events depicted in Snowdrop is real.
Maybe rigging the elections was not the right expression. I apologize, English is not my native language. The (fictional) ruling party in this dramaworld planned to cheat. Not by directly manipulating the votes, but by falsely accusing their opposition of collision with North Korea (thus the whole plot with the professor and Suho's team). Had they managed to pull off the plan, citizens would have turned against the opposition and vote for the ruling party.
It is not strictly necessary in the drama's fictional world, because polls indicate their candidate will win anyway. But they want to make sure, because dictators don't like to take chances.
And obviously, they don't plan on handing over power in the future either. They plan to use the North Korean connections for similar smear campaigns, a magic weapon to win the next elections too. That is why they didn't just say to Suho's "father" that the deal died with the professor, his agents will be killed, end of story. They still try to negotiate with the North, because they want to use their services in the future.

Yumi's Cells: Chae Woo Ki, played by Choi Min Ho
Mine: Jeong Seo Hyun, played by Kim Seo Hyung - her love interest's name is Suzy Choi, played by Kim Jung Hwa.
Can't help with the other three dramas, sorry :)
