Such a Disappointment
Had very high expectations from this show, considering stellar cast. However, I'm six episodes down and its clear this drama would become a flop as it's heading towards straight disappointment.My pain points with this show:
1) More screentime of Seonwoo (the bland and boring personality main lead whose only talent is to be at the right place and right time - to assist Mijo when she's distressed)
2) Lack of chemistry between Seonwoo and Mijo - it looks like the ML here was added just to act as a support system for FL rather than a potential love interest - considering his one dimensional personality being portrayed here.
3) less screentime of Johee - we writers would want to know why shes still singe and still lives with her mother at the age of 39 - which is a shocker really
4) more romance than friendship - more screentime is being given to romance between leads (which is boring AF) rather than Female leads in this show - idk the writer doesn't seem to get this hint that this show is supposed to show friendship aspect.
5) Mijo inserting herself in every situation : again the writer seems to have forgotten that Chan Young is the one who has terminal illness - the viewers would like to see her perspective more - rather funnily enough - we see the perspective of her friend Mijo - on how she would cope up with pain (we couldn't care less about her suffering and her crying lol) . It feels like a Mijo show where everything revolves around her - and her boring ML who's only role is to appear from absolutely anywhere and offer comfort. *Eye roll*
6) Episode 3 of this show was BAD , REALLY BAD : nothing more can be said about this because my hand would start paining if I start writing about criticism of this episode specifically.

Drop Snowdrop
It's ironic that many any defending the show on the grounds that the everyone has right to freedom of expression, yet the show disregards and completely disrespects the actual activists and protestors who actually lost their lives trying to fight for pro-democracy and freedom of expression.Irrespective of whether the plot has romance story, nice cinematography (the acting of female lead is really not good tbh) bla bla etc etc. , One just cannot respect this show.
HARD PASS
Also, I've seen many people (probably right wing people, ignorant international fans and blinks) who have given straight 10 ..it's laughable the lengths these people are going to showcase high inflated ratings of this show.
