this is my first time watching a drama with hae in. i think he's a good actor but yeah he's lacking in the chemistry department i think. jisoo is the rookie actress, and even if her acting isn't as polished as his, i can tell she's portraying the love that young ro feels for sooho. with sooho it's just lacking. i'm gonna keep giving the character the benefit od the doubt and say it's because the love is still more one sided. hopefully in future episodes he's a bit more romantic with young ro

i loved that scene!! the chemistry was so on point and jisoo’s acting was superb!

omg sorry!!

jisoo's acting in episode 3 was a highlight for me!! when youngro and sooho are on side of the building jisoos facial expressions were phenomenal and the body language between the two was great, especially when sooho finally pulled up youngro and held her. also the scene with youngro and her stepmom!! jisoo DELIVERED! and the bike scene with youngro and sooho was perfect! i think she's really improving with each episode and i can't wait to see more!

tbh at first i thought it was hae in lacking in acting when it came to the chemistry between youngro and sooho. but now i think the reason why their chemistry might feel like it's lacking sometimes is because as of now this is mostly a one-sided love by young ro. yes they have their cute moments which is when we can some of their great chemistry, but right now sooho's main objective is escaping alive. i think episode 3 does an amazing job at highlighting this with the open house. although young ro wants sooho to escape safely there are moments when she wants to be romantic with him, like when she has a whole dream sequence of him rescuing her on the dance floor that ends with a kiss; unfortunately cut short T_T. also when they are riding the bike she asks him to call or visit and he just stays silent. yes there is no romantic chemistry here but there is very good dramatic tension. i also think the characters difference in age and maturity plays into their chemistry. young ro is young and is smitten by sooho and although sooho may also feel feelings towards her he knows they can't be because of who they are and suppresses his feelings. i think scenes like when they are making the paper airplanes show so much amazing chemistry between the two of them. anyway that's my spiel on that lol

episode 3 was spectacular and jisoo's acting was a highlight for me!! it feels like she's getting better with each episode. the cast is stellar, i am loving all of the dorm girls personalities, even side characters like the RA.

there was so much happening in the preview for the next episode, i am so excited and so happy we only have to wait til tomorrow!! the preview was interesting, it almost feels like there might be another time jump maybe?

ONE WAY TICKET SUPREMACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i agree that their chemistry seems a bit off at times. when i first noticed it, it was mostly whenever sooho was on screen and this really confused me because everyone praised jung hae in's acting. i know jisoo is a rookie actress but i'm personally loving her as young ro and she's playing the in love college girl so well so i definitely see the chemistry on her end. but now that i've watched all 3 episodes i think it's off because he's more so using young ro right now as opposed to actually being romantically interested. there are scenes when there is chemistry between the two but obviously sooho's main objective is to escape alive which is why the chemistry kind of comes and goes. i think the one sidedness of youngro's character may be why the chemistry seems off but i also think that's understandable and is being purposefully done by the actors.

i've seen some comments about people saying snowdrop is being produced/owned by YG Studioplex and that is not true. the drama is fully under JTBC studios. where did this rumor even start from?

YAY so excited we are getting 3 episodes this weekend!! hopefully, these next few episodes clear up the controversy

i didn’t even notice the time jump lmao guess i wasn’t reading my subs when it said 6 months has passed

i think jung hae in rejected because of his filming schedule for DP but in the end they were able to work out the scheduling conflicts

i do understand what you are saying about the drama downplaying the NSA a bit but i genuinely think that's because of censorship and graphic content. could you imagine if episode 2 the NSA agens started torturing all the students on screen, yes that would be historically accurate but that would also be horrific to watch and could even be very triggering for some people. also this drama is a public tv network broadcast so obviously censorship would be more intense than if this was like a netflix original. a lot of histroically based media does this. for example there are a lot of US movies on the world wars and other horrific events like 9/11 but they don't show intense scenes and footage that are accurate. this is done for the audience's sake. the drama still does show the NSA as evil so it's a gross overstatement to say that they are "glorifying the NSA" just because they are making the scenes a bit more censored and palateable for the audience. like in episode 2 would you have prefered to see jisoo's character and the other 2 girls in the bath get tortured by NSA agents while they are all naked? thats so horrific and vulgar to see. also so what if they show that the NSA agent is sad about his friend dying. when we are watching the NSA scenes we are viewing the world from those characters perspective.

oh ok haha

wait are you talking about me being naive?

yeah i feel like saying this drama is distorting history so much by glorifying the NSA is such an overstatement. the first 2 episodes paint the NSA in a terrible light, the politicians, the wives obsessed with status, the NSA breaking into the girls dorm and risking student safety, threatening the headmistress with a gun for simply asking for a warrant, the protest scene that showed tear gas and NSA agents beating people with sticks all of these scenes show how the NSA is evil. even young ro's roomate said something about the NSA calling all protestors communists and falsely arresting and killing protestors. so how are people still claiming that the NSA is being glorified?? maybe the NSA isn't acting as evil as they were in real life but i also think this may be because of censorship and viewer senstivity. like i feel like a scene of the girls getting full on tortured in the bath would be way more intense and triggering to real life survivors of the NSA and would just be trauamtic to watch for any audience. and just because they downplay scenes like that doesn't mean that they are glorifying the NSA. so much media centering around horrific historical events does this so that it isn't overwhelming to the audience. for example in the US we have so many war movies and movies on horrific events in our own history like 9/11, but these movies don't show genuine vulgar content that actually occurred in real life. that's why i'm a bit confused with this controversy. like would SK prefer the drama depicts vulgar and horrific scenes like this?

im confused by this comment what do you mean by the building management bombing itself and how does this relate to snowdrop? again, genuienly asking and i really don't mean to come off as rude, i'm very interested in hearing other peoples opinions and seeing if you can help me understand the controversy better!

after the first 2 episodes i am so confused as to how people are still claiming that the drama is distorting history or glorifying the NSA. both episodes paint the NSA in a terrible light, the politicians, the wives obsessed with status, the NSA breaking into the girls dorm and risking student safety, threatening the headmistress with a gun for simply asking for a warrant, the protest scene that showed tear gas and NSA agents beating people with sticks all of these scenes show how the NSA is evil. even young ro's roomate said something about the NSA calling all protestors communists and falsely arresting and killing protestors. so how are people still claiming that the NSA is being glorified?? i keep seeing comments saying the drama is distorting history but no one is commenting actual evidence from the 2 episodes we have. i am so genuinely confused and just want someone to actually clarify and point out specific scenes where history is distorted. also i am not trying to come across as angry i jsut keep commenting the same thing and nobody has been able to give me a clear answer. the only thing i'd say is being distorted is that the NSA may be downplayed a bit, like in real life they definitely were much more gruesome and probably wouldve tortured the poeple in these scenes more, BUT i think that they are downplayed a bit just because it's a sensitive topic and releasing such vulgar scenes could be very graphic content that not everyone could handle. especially victims from the time could be triggered even more if they see the characters getting fully tortured. i just think this is a way to censor so the show can be aired on public tv. also most media having to do with horrific hisotrical events censors or downplays scenes just a bit so it's not overwhelming and hoorifying to the audience. even in the US we have movies about wars and events like 9/11 that downplay vulgar scenes.

i totall agree with you about the actual events being much more horrific but you have to admit that saying the drama deserves to be canceled because it "glorifies the NSA" is a major overstatement. just because they are downplaying the NSA in terms of sensitivity and graphic content, does not mean that they are glorifying the organization. the NSA in the drama is clearly shown to be bad and all of the characters who aren't a part of the NSA have voiced how bad the NSA is. also i thought that it wasn't stated yet whether or not sooho is a NK spy. episode 2 shows us that hes NK but he could also be just an NK soldier who is being falsely accused by the NSA. maybe sooho is a protestor for democracy, wouldn't that mean the song is fittting or is it not allowed because hes NK? i am genuinely asking because i dont know much about the song

i do understand what you are saying but at the end of the day this is a drama and showing such intense scenes like that would be horrific. also if i was someone who lived in the time of NSA wouldn't seeing such vulgar scenes be even more traumatic? there is plenty of media out there on different historical topics from different countries, and they don't always depict scenes as horrificly as they may have been. for example, there are plenty of world war movies here in the US that aren't as graphic as to what happened in the actual war. and just because they aren't showing the super specific vulgar things the NSA did doesn't mean that the drama is glorifying the organization. i totally do get what you are saying but i just think so much media based of histroical topics that are so horrific like the NSA do get a bit downplayed just so its palatable for TV. the holocaust was horrific but some movies out there downplay scenes for the audience's sake and those movies don't receive backlash like this. also it is still unclear whether or not sooho is spy. in episode 2 it is stated that he's north korean but for all we know he may just be a north korean soldier or student who got caught up in the wrong situation. if he actually is a north korean spy then i do understand what you are saying, but that is still up in the air i believe. i do get the hate around jisoo's father. i honeslty don't know why they added that stupid line in his character description, to be honest though i don't think anybody likes the politicians though regardless of what their character description say.
