Got to realize one thing that they have divided the episodes among their characters so well. First 4 episodes…
Aww I'm so happy to hear that you all are agreeing! I'm little down that we are only left with 5 episodes now! last time I was this much attached to A river runs through it series! When it ended I thought there won't be anything to watch then came Snowdrop. This feeling when your favourite show ends is saddening 😞❤️
Got to realize one thing that they have divided the episodes among their characters so well. First 4 episodes were more about Young Ro, her background her friends. All of them took the most of the screentime. Then comes the old ladies gang and the ANSP department😂 lol not to forget those three spies who always follow around orders of Chief An. I heard many people were saying why they are even showing irrelevant characters like those aunties? So there's a reason behind it also. There was a time when women rule behind their husbands and they tell them to take certain decisions. Even one of the Korean leader got demoted because he was following orders of a woman blindly and not taking decisions on his own. We also got Youngro Soo ho scenes in good quantity as their emotional attraction was quite visible since then. After that we saw more of Agent Han na, Black tiger and Cheong Ya followed by Boon Oki and Ms. Pi. As all of these are the main characters, rest of them are the supporting cast. Comrade Jo and the other North agent Eung Cheol also got fair amount of scenes! BLACK TIGER VS TAEDON RIVER 1 battle. Action scenes, firing and they made whole PUBG out of it😁(PUBG players will surely understand what I'm pointing out).
So yeah, there's this equal kind of distribution among all the individuals. If they always show us Youngro and Soo-ho's scenes then how can they depict what is happening around them? The story is also about the rivalry among their countries, both of them have different nationalities, faced their own challenges in life, came from very different backgrounds and when we have such a small amount of episodes (Imagine at first there were only 9 and then jTBC distributed into 16 for us) it gets difficult to show everything at once, we should see what writer wants to deliver to us. There has to be various complexities and people who make it hard for the leads to break them to separate them, makes it difficult for them to get united. They can't show favouritism by giving maximum time to only one or two actors. They did gave equal chances to all the actors to perform, all of the actors have different capacity and style to act and deliver their dialogues.
If we compare them to eachother then how about we always watch one actor and actress only? Producers also cast them not anybody else, never give chances to the newbies! Obviously it could be pretty dull, full of monotonous scenes. We should expect them to be different and I found the actors very natural while performing their own characters. They are portraying them very well till the date! SNOWDROP/seolganghwa( enforcement in Seol) is more like a complete movie to me! The action packed which includes beautiful romance, tears and also the historical politics, so please enjoy it the way it is rather than finding faults! Don't forget that the main theme is the backdrop of 1987 and events, this is not a highschool or rom com drama. You can't expect them to hang out or go for karaoke (I doubt if they have any kinda karaoke bars at that time😂😅).
It is a appeal please stop comparing the story, the screenplay and the protagonists to other dramas or actors. Accept their distinctiveness. Love them how they are if you are really involve into this series 🖤❤️ otherwise why watching something which is ruining your mood? better watch the series which have your favourite actors and are going according to your taste! The series has already been shot and completed, what different it could make other than boiling our own blood? The episodes can't be reshot and stays the same, we cannot change anything, so why even trying!!
So I was rewatching the kiss scene, and just wanted to come on here and share my thoughts. I think that the build…
Agree, as they said in the intro that he had no choice but seeing his love Youngro helplessly, he can't keep her for himself and can't let her go either😌 there's this helplessness and madness in his love which refrains him from going back to NK, refrain him to use his brain or follow the commands and he can't stay in SK either! Whatever Comrade Jo said to him broke him hard. Their hug is going to be very beautiful!! Can't wait for the saturday to come 🤗💗
who is this Ri Tae San in jung haein profile? will this be his name after he changes his identity to stay in s.korea?
Before adoption his real name could be Ri Tae San in his own country I think! As her sister's name also changed and have Lim as a first name now. That North korean force director gave them his own sirname.
If you go and see on the cast category you can see jung hae in has 2 names . One is Lim Soo Ho and another is…
Before adoption his real name could be Ri Tae San in his own country I think! As her sister's name also changed and have Lim as a first name now. That North korean force director gave them his own sirname.
Wondering who the first person is the male lead killed. Because he can tell in detail how it feels like to kill…
His father made him kill somebody or he's talking about that ANSP agent who was running behind him along with black tiger in train scene, he got killed while chasing him though we can't consider it the direct killing because he was running away and they were after him he had no clue that he will die. Another scenario is that he killed that professor Han's son and that's how he brought his letter to South korea!
P.S do not read further if you don't want an ending prediction from me so to manage my emotions and stay positive…
I also think that maybe he comes back after few years when the revolution is granted to the South korea and she must be still waiting for him for ten years! ❤️😔
I think you can understand hindi/urdu right? 😃 Main samjhati. South Korea mein pehly dictatorship thi means…
You're most welcome! 😍 It took me also a lot of time to understood it and where they edited and how much they edited!! So it was my pleasure to help you :) 🌻
Oh yes and the way he was putting pack behind her neck was beautiful! I think this could be the real scene? Or…
I saw the footage... even they kept holding their hands after the cut ❤️ !! Wish they get casted in some other series together!! I can't get enough of them *__*
Yeap. Now I've noticed this why she was so biased against all the people who are appreciating Jisoo and the lead couple's chemistry. Even you can see in many comments she is ridiculing about the scenes. I mean if they are that bad why you are even watching!
I read the comment of one member that she was behind the cancellation movement of the drama and now she is doing all this on purpose to reduce the popularity of the lead characters and spread hate. We should better ignore her and do not say a word.
Can someone please kindly explain a bit of the politics in snowdrop, i rewatched it and have a good enough understanding…
I think you can understand hindi/urdu right? 😃 Main samjhati. South Korea mein pehly dictatorship thi means army thi jo rule karti thi puri country pe since the partition of South and North Korea. Baad mein jab wo log alag hogaye to SK ki government army hi lead karahi thi aur phir jab democracy aai means log select karenge ke kaun banega to unki maanne ke bajaye apne favorites ko jita diya jata tha back to back means people had no right to vote for their favourite elected individual. Tab buhat se log jo unko ghalat kehte theh ke direct elections karwaen unko Spy bana dete theh aur pakarwa dete theh fumes chor dete theh shelling gas attack karte theh jaisa ke SNOWDROP mein bhi dikhaya gaya hai! Specifically students were suppressed by their government baad mein movement bangai aur log protest karne streets per agaye and buhat sare events huey jiske baad finally 1997 mein opposition jeet gai and logo ne select kara apni government ko revolution agaya! Hope this helps you 😊!!
SNOWDROP mein wohi government ko dikhaya hai jo selective hai and wo log chahre ke wo bane rahen and log na vote de saken. Agar logo ne vote dediya to zahir hai wo log haar jaenge upcoming elections mein.
Here is a piece of small article of what happened at that time:
Unions and students joined forces in 1985 to create a large umbrella coalition that included religious, farmers, teachers and other groups: the People’s Movement Coalition for Democracy and Reunification (PMCDR).
In this more hopeful environment a new opposition political party formed to contest the next election, gaining support from many in the PMCDR as well as dissident politicians. This party, the New Korea Democratic Party (NKDP), emerged in 1985 as the major opposition in the National Assembly. After 2 years in exile leading dissident Kim Dae Jung flew back to Seoul to face possible arrest or death; he had protective accompaniment by two U.S. Congressional Representatives, among others. (See case “Nonviolent Intervention in S. Korea for Leading Dissident, 1985.”)
In 1986 religious activists including the Roman Catholic Cardinal issued statements chiding the government and demanding constitutional revision that would ensure human rights. Hundreds of professors issued statements of non-confidence in the regime. A variety of groups organized mass rallies for democratization.
The New Korea Democratic Party (NKDP) initiated a mass drive to collect ten million signatures nationwide for a constitutional revision (10 million was almost half the entire electorate!). Police tried to crack down by raiding NKDP headquarters and offices of civil society groups, making many arrests. Signatures continued to pour in.
The growing movement was heartened by the People Power revolution in the Philippines that overthrew dictator Ferdinand Marcos in February 1986. Participation in the mass rallies went beyond the 700,000 mark, the highest since the “April Uprising” against dictator Syngman Rhee in 1960.
During the spring of 1986 students and workers held demonstrations calling for the removal of U.S. support for the military regime. In response to these demonstrations (one of which resulted in clashes between soldiers and protesters), the government began to arrest hundreds of people. In addition the government searched thousands of houses and closed down opposition offices.
Nonetheless, South Koreans supporting greater democracy continued demonstrations despite the governmental repression. When it was found that police had killed a student while torturing him in January 1987, nationwide demonstrations took on new momentum. In response to this killing, ordinary South Koreans joined the radical opposition in their protests against the current government.
On April 13, 1987, Chun Doo Hwan announced he would terminate public discussion of constitutional revision and pass power over to another military ruler without direct elections. This caused a major outcry: religious leaders and priests engaged in hunger strikes, artists, novelists, writers and actors publicly attacked the announcement, tens of thousands demonstrated in major cities.
Following this announcement, additional groups joined the existing forces to establish the National Movement Headquarters for Democratic Constitution (NMHDC), which now covered all major groups and geographical areas. Religious leaders continued to demand support the democracy campaign and students increased the numbers of demonstrations on their campuses. The NMHDC organized local branches throughout the country and when June came NMHDC organized a series of massive pro-democracy demonstrations.
On June 9 a student was hit by tear gas bomb fragments and fatally injured, and the next day the NMHDC organized the “Uprising Rally to Defeat the April 13 Decision and to End Dictatorship.” That provided a springboard for a June 26 “Peace Parade” with one million participants.
These two rallies brought into the streets middle class citizens who had held back until then.
Three days later, on June 29, the regime announced dramatic and unexpected concessions, including adopting a direct presidential election system (that couldn’t easily be manipulated by the powerholders).
From that point on the powerholders in South Korea were on the defensive, conceding point after point in their ongoing struggle against civil society (led by students and workers). Political space opened up for economic justice campaigns and struggles for human rights and the environment. The military could no longer hope to intervene successfully against progress by means of the traditional military coup. By 1997 an opposition candidate became president for the first time in Korean history – Kim Dae Jung (who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2000).
