Of course, but that doesn't change my point. As for your political suppositions, even if it was a fact, that would not change my point of view either, as there is always movies or series promoting political ideologies. It's not because I dislike one that it should be forbidden to air on TV or in cinemas.
If anyone truly believes that "Snowdrop" is a propaganda drama after watching it, and that it will influence a presidential election, they should seriously consider take a break for a moment because their mind is boiling. People are crazy if they think that now, if a drama or a movie has different political ideas than them it should be banned. What a scary world these people want to live in. That's called North Korea right now...

The more I watch Choo Young Woo, the more I think he would be perfect to play in a sageuk. Of course he would be dazzling as a crown prince, but even to play a yangban, a military official or a scholar he would be great. He has this percing gaze and "noble" side that's perfect for these roles.

"And it has nothing to do with you, cause as i see you are neither korean neither have relatives who were in the protest. This affects korean people. Not you. So mind your business and let them decide what to say in their own country" Ah thank you for the opportunity. You don't know me and and you don't know if have ties or not with this events so please apply your own "advice" to you, because once again, Koreans are more than 50 millions in South Korea, not just few hundreds of thousands people signing a petition. And I actually let them protest if they want. Have you seen me in Korea protesting against the petition ?

So when someone use the same argument as you but in the opposite way logic is lost but of course when you use that argument that's the almighty truth.
Well, no, that's not how life works. And you know nothing about me or my personal history so stop making judgments on me.

If JTBC has connections with the People Power Party, or if other broadcasters have connections with the Democratic Party of Korea, what will it change concretely in your daily life ?

Unlike you he didn't personally attacked someone for his appearance. If you can't understand that, I'm very glad to be among these "you people are" whatever it might mean to you.

Thank you for this very argued response.

"The ignorance is truly mind-blowing."
If 50 millions Koreans or so are not opposing it, there must be a valid reason, no ? Nobody stops to think that...

Wouah, straight racism, discrimination or whatever you want to call it, to pretend to defend all Asian people on the planet. You deserve a gold medal seriously. Hop, comment reported. You should go get some fresh air before attacking people like that.

Well, I think that in general many people will not bother rate something they didn't really watch or quickly dropped. And depending on how many people watched and rated a drama, comparison between dramas rates are irrelevant. That's why I personally don't think rates on MDL really matter, expect for personal usage.

This comparison is extremely outrageous towards Jewish people. Very shameful. But in the end, to answer your question, yes, it would still be a fiction.

JTBC will not stop the drama. The drama would have never started in the first place if there was a real problem with its story.

Stop telling people what they should tell too. I don't think you or anybody can speak for all Koreans because as every people Koreans don't think all the same. It's not because you don't share the point of view of others that they "give 0 fucks about the actual history of the country. ". Like everything, History depends on the point of view and how the next generations decide to write and tell it. But that's actually not even the problem with Snowdrop as the "distorting history" claims are groundless.

"The petitioners claim" or "pretend" should be more right as the two first episodes just show that their "arguments" are groundless. JTBC's response is very clear. People think that the show was deemed okay to be aired without being checked before seriously ? Do they think that JTBC would have made such a drama, with big stars, countless people working on it just to stop it because some few people think and presum whatever they want about something most of them don't even try to watch or understand ? Anybody can be offended by any thing in this world. Internet is a great thing but eternal whiners really have too many voices these days.

Those ratings are wrongfully manipulated to be low. It doesn't reflect the real sentiment of the watchers. And kisskh is not objectively representative of real dramas ratings too. ;)

I can't wait for the answer of the Blue House following the petition. It will not shutdown the people who think they are knights in shining armor but at least it will put an end to the official aspect of this so-called controversies and let us enjoy this very good drama (at least for now) until the end with minds at ease.

Just one fact (or two) to show how stupid such comments are : South Korea is a country of over 50 MILLIONS people and is currently ruled by a socialist party. So people need to start using "some" (even "some few" would be better) Koreans, instead of implying that a whole country is against a mere drama for political reasons. Really absurd.

It's actually very hypocritical of these (very small) Korean brands to make such announcements. It was obvious that once the drama started the backlash would only start again, without any real justification. When you read the "reasons" of the protesters after the first two episodes, you really see that they will use any element throughout the drama to support their protest. Considering the "controversy" months before the start of the drama, I believe JTBC is ready to face it. Everybody knew it will be like that once it started. I'm not surprised personally, didn't expected a quiet start. One thing keep surprising me though : people's stupidness.

" if it is some kind of propaganda and re-writing history!" Hahahaha ! Your comment is the first thing I saw here and it really made me laugh because it's actually so stupid.
It's a drama, a series, fictional, with a political set yes (maybe controversial, but it's history, it's always controversial depending on points of view), but it will neither rewrite History or promote a new authoritarian regime in South Korea so comments like yours are just really ridiculous.
But yes, keep commenting like if it's the matter of the century, it's true that it is very important to crush a drama and countless people's work. That will surely solve all problems in the world. For sure. People petitionning in Korea don't do anything to solve the real problems in their country, just like people commenting here don't do anything in theirs too. Making a fuss, like it's a real and threatening political issue when it's only a divertissement (very well made !). People are just so dumb. That is really outrageous and shameful.
