How come they got access to the whole script??? Does that name that you are referring to has a trademark or something???…
Why are you making it about me?? I am a international fan and i don't see myself in a position to QUESTION anything to them in korea ?? I can only EXPRESS MY OPINION !! Obviously that's the problem mate that's a fictional drama but it's using REAL HISTORICAL DATES, REAL HISTORICAL REFFERENCE, NAMES OF REAL HISTORICAL FIGURES. that's the whole dammn reason behind knets loosing their chills and getting mad. It's their right to be intolerant or demand an explaination about their own history ??!! I don't know how many people have that name in koream, but during the time of these event she was a prominent figure and is still remembered for her sacrifices and things she did for her country.
Yeah I 300% agree with you that many i-fans are downplaying it. Very similar situation like the Gwangju uprising…
OHHH sorry to hear that your country had to go through this as well !! I am glad someone agrees with me though. I also 300% percent agree with you like they don't need to cancel it but just censor it, like change everything that's questionable or offensive to their history. If it requires them to change young cho's name they should probably do that as well. "They still have some time to revise things and hear what audiences have to say. JTBC should post a longer clarification. The one they just posted just angered Knetz even more. Ughh." SO TRUEEEEEE ARGHHHHHH CAN'T AGREE MORE, THAT'S LITERALLY MY WHOLE POINT. YOU LITERALLY SAID IT IN LESS WORDS AND MORE ACCURATELY THAN ME.
I definitely get the concerns but it's not like we can't satirize sensitive topics...a good example is Jojo Rabbit.…
oooo i agree though. TBH i still can't understand the concept of "black comedy" but it is causing fire among knets for sure !! I also watched sky castle LOL didn't even realsied it had anything called "black comedy"
How come they got access to the whole script??? Does that name that you are referring to has a trademark or something???…
"How come they got access to the whole script???" Umm i never said they have acess to the whole script, before arguing with me go read the threads i mentioned. The things they are saying is based on the little synopsis here on internet and actual facts present on the internet.
"Does that name that you are referring to has a trademark or something???" The name "young cho" is not just any name but a name of a PROMINENT WOMEN DEMOCRATIST. You think it's okay to use a name like this and just distort everything related to her ??? "Yeong-cho was a symbol of the democratization movement. She was leader to “Garayeol” : women circle who discussed, resisted, and acted in a male-centered environment during the PCH dictatorship." She is important figure in the history of korea, If this is a fictional or creative work why use a prominent figures name when they can create a fictional one ??
"Drama isn't fucked up but antis like you are trying to sabotage it... remember jisoo isn't the only actor, many popular n veteran actors are involved in this drama...do you think they will be stupid enough??" ANTIS ? seriously ?? idgaf about jisoo or blackpink ?? i am not into kpop or stuff ? Nope the actors INCLUDING jisoo are not stupid and niether did i say it or did any of these threads said it, the only thing stupid here is the production because they are saying quiet and making k nets angry. Apparently they need to speak more on this then they did last time. It's literally just in your head that everything is about your idol ms jisoo. No it's greater than her okay ?!?
"Its just that people like you aren't given enough attention by jtbc that's why your ass is on fire..." Yes can definately agree with the fact that JTBC is not giving attention but here i am not the one in need of it, it's the people of their own country who need JTBC's attention. My ass on fire ?? Lol no it's on a chair, check yours maybe :)
Bruhhh the drama is fucked idc what yall think but IT IS FUCKED.
Anyways here is a thread explaining in detail about how JTBC is actually using actual historical refferences from korean history and then naming it as creative work is so fucking wrong in my opinion. If this is fictional they should be using dates or refferences which have no connections with korean history. Like i seriously hope they edit this stuff. Also till now i didn't know why is suho from germany but this thread explains how is germany connected to this whole situation. https://twitter.com/AskAKorean/status/1375488555250761739?s=20
Another thread which explains everything wrong with jisoo's character being named as young cho. (EDIT: the thread's titled as "Who is Cheon Yeong-cho and why is it insulting that <#Snowdrop> is using her name? " So read it before you come for me or call me an anti or any other shit. Also literally no one is saying anything here to jisoo so calm down) https://twitter.com/joyfuljoyfuI/status/1375669418492104704?s=20
You guys should read these to get a clearer picture on the wieght of this issue. It's not as shallow as people on the internet specially international fans are making it seem. It's deep. K nets definately deserve an explaination for everything that's going on. we all are just people enjoying there content and tbh we are no one to have a say in anything related to their country's history. Their actions seem reasonable to ME.
I myself hope this 1) get's cancelled right now 2) clears everything out with knets. Also a better way would be for the historians to take a look at everything and every single prop/scene/line and give it a go or censor and change it. please my faves i want them outta here :((((((
" “Snowdrop” is a black comedy that satirizes the presidential elections taking place in the 1980s under a military regime during the North-South tension on the Korean peninsula. It is also a melodrama about the young men and women who were victims of that situation. "
Can someone please interpret this to me in a better way ??
In my interpretition (which can be wrong) they said it's a black comedy in simple words dark humour, now would they include HUMOUR AND SATIRE into something this CONTROVERSIAL AND SENSITIVE ?? Like it will still make knetz mad and They will still try to cancel it ...
on a better note :- "In particular, accusations like “the drama will show a North Korean spy leading the pro-democracy movement” and “the drama made a real student activist into a character” and “the drama glamorizes the Agency of National Security Planning” are not only different from the drama’s actual content but also far from the production staff’s intention."
I don't know how this was given a go signal to be produced. They have to change the plot and take out the political…
True to that !! Like they have time, they should sincerely research more into this and see what they can do. If they can't they should just stop everything.
Hi I found this thread on Twitter and I am copy pasting it here.The thread talked about how snowdrop's plot is…
More than a little aghast that the new JTBC TV series "Snowdrop" is about the tumultuous student protests of the 1980s THAT FEATURES AS ITS MAIN CHARACTER A NORTH KOREAN SPY CHARACTER WHO ONLY PRETENDS TO BE AN ACTIVIST
The reason this is offensive, inappropriate, and FUCKED, is that throughout the 60s-80s, "you're a North Korean spy" was the number one bullshit reason that cops and national security officials used to frame innocent young protesters
Apparently Hot Male Lead number 2 is an "exemplary National Security official"???? EXCUSE ME???? NATIONAL SECURITY OFFICIALS IN THE 1980S WERE NOTORIOUS FOR WATERBOARDING AND MURDERING STUDENT PROTESTERS???????????
The character slated to be played by BLACKPINK's Jisoo? Her name is Yeong-cho. Yeong-cho is not a common woman's name, in fact it is the name of an actual student protester from the 1980s, about whom a fairly famous collection of essays were published in 2017.
Frankly speaking.... the idea that any actor would read a script like this, that 1) portrays National Security officials as "good" or "principled" in any way, and 2) affirms the insanely violent Red Scare propaganda of the 1980s... and then agrees to be in the show? Jesus.
"Yeong-cho Unni" was a collection of essays put out precisely to combat the idea that women only stayed on the sidelines of student protests and bandaged up injured men. Yeong-cho Cheon was a student who intellectually and ideologically mobilizedfellow female students.
Yeong-cho as described by the "Snowdrop" synopsis: "In 1987, Seoul, a college student Su-ho suddenly bursts into the women's dorms covered in blood. College student Yeong-cho hides him and treats his wounds, despite the surveillance, and they fall in love."
DAMN THANK YOU JTBC FOR COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT OF YEONG-CHO UNNI
"They're North Korean spies and insurrectionists" is what they said when they murdered thousands at Gwangju It's what Chun Doo-hwan and his cronies still claim as they feign innocence of that massacre
btw pls take your "knetz overreacting again" bullshit and take a long fucking walk to nowhere I am not in the mood to educate you
People who were framed for being NK spies during the Cold War: I was not a spy, the physical torture I endured has given me PTSD and lifelong injuries, please do not compound my pain JTBC's Snowdrop: haha... unless?
Hi I found this thread on Twitter and I am copy pasting it here.
The thread talked about how snowdrop's plot is all fucked up and messed up. This is so scary tbh, I feel scared now because the plot is actually really messy and sensitive. I hope JTBC does something and try to make it as fair as they can.
I am beyond excited for Yoo In Na's character. A deceptive doctor, (probably the antogonist)? Right up my alley
I literally pray to god everyday that they don't ruin her character and let that character have her own story. Like mostly female villains or protagonists are shown jealous and i really hope that this is not the case here... yoo hyun mi i trust you !!
Yoo in na or someone from her company if you are reading this. For god's sake let her have an official IG account like I am so sad whenever I see people screaming because their fav breathed and there I am with my fav who has no IG account at all :(((((((
i love her so much! she is such a cutie, i think she is gonna blow the f up in snowdrop! ♡
Same thoughts bestie !! I am just hoping she does not goes into a hiatus just like she went after she blowed up because of goblin. Aghsjsja she went on a 2 year long hiatus so scarrrryyyy
