One of the best Korean dramas of all time.

Let's go over what most people want to know. Is it distorting history?
The hardcore facts that most Korean people talked about:
1. The ANSP is hardcore evil.
2. The North Koreans are power-hungry.
All of these are displayed in the drama. You just have to watch the entire drama.

The show is a fast-paced hostage political drama that showcases the truth of power and Korea. It has a lot of violence and loud noises so it is definitely not for the weak of hearts. The show has a romance that goes through multiple ups and downs. Every character has dimensions and a backstory to it. Each of them has something the other one doesn't.

Character analysis(Young-ro and Soo-ho)
Soo-ho
His character is based on one emotion, love which controls him and drives him to his actions. He was in love with Young-ro, more than Young-ro was in love with him and that is why the entire story worked out. He visited the dorm to see her again and he came back to save her because he loved her. His sister's life also controlled him for the majority. He was a great character. He was clever but not cruel and merciful but not dumb.

Young-ro
She had more potential. She had the lightest personality of all the characters. Apart from some of her brave moments, she was mostly a damsel in distress. The way a lot of people stomped all over her, I expected a snap but there was none. It would be better if her actions played more significance than her identity. I also wished for closure of Young-ro. She was shown as being heartbroken over Soo-ho and all of her friends and family abandoned her. It would be nice if we got some character development and see her around new people rather than the past.

Overall, the ending had some plotholes, but apart from that, the story was spot on. The deaths tore me apart but the fact Young-ro spent her life all alone broke me more. Out of all the sad endings dramas like Youth of May, Uncontrollably Fond, Chicago Typewriter, The Red Sleeve, Scarle Heart, etc, Snowdrop was the saddest because it started and ended with pain. There was no happiness and no hope. Everyone played and betrayed each other till the end.

I would definitely recommend this drama for people who wish to cry and be broken for eternity.

The King's Affection started explosively but soon declined in terms of entertaining, probably due to the fact it is 20 episodes long. However, I am glad everyone got what they deserved. I also expected more from Rowoon, heavy chemistry with the fl but you don't always get what you want. The bodyguard was so good-looking, he and the King carried the show for me. Good show, but I wouldn't watch it again. The King's Affection started explosively but soon declined in terms of entertaining, probably due to the fact it is 20 episodes long.

Best historical k-drama out there.

The cast, the acting, the setting, the chemistry, every single bit of the story was perfect. Each character had depth and stayed true to themselves until the end. Deok Im loved San but he loved her more and that's why it worked out.
That's it. Best historical k-drama.

The title isn't misleading, just wait for it.

In simple words, I used to be scared of zombies. I couldn't bear the sight of them and skipped on dramas like Sweet Home because of it. About when the fourth episode was airing, I decided to give this a try because of the main leads. I stayed because of the storyline, production, visual, ost, and everything. This is one of the best dramas of 2021, the chemistry between the cast was off the chart, and it made me realize how the real monsters are humans, not the infected. If you guys want an eye-opener about how kind and selfish humans can be, please check out this drama. Thank you for reading.
