This is an amazing comment, sadly these zombies are not going to care about logic and common sense.. they will…
How about this-- When the media seeks audience by increasingly attention grabbing headlines the opposing sides pushes further apart and becomes the very engine of the extremism they purport to oppose. Thus a conscious decoupling from both and a reinstating of logic, reason and heart is crucial. I'll leave it that.
“Associating the democratization movement with spies is another persecution against the victims at the time.”…
Oh my Lord. It's been TWO EPISODES. I cannot emphasize this enough. Imagine if someone judged you before you were even born, that's the same like judging this drama before it has even begun. Because (let's face it) it hasn't. I will listen and argue with you once the drama is finished. Till then, keep quiet.

Reading and 'quoting' from online sources does not prove that you have Korean ethnicity. Besides, if you understood anything (even just a little bit) from my aforementioned comment, you wouldn't have had to copy and paste the EXACT SAME comment which you posted in previous ones. You would have understood. But hey, like I said, we're all inclined to our own opinions... even if some are better and stronger than others.
Honestly, social media has become the WORST soap opera in history, and the episodes just keep on coming. Geez, binge watch anything dramatic long enough and it'll send you loopy. Okay, yes, we're all entitled to make our own opinions; however, shouldn't that happen once we get the full picture? And when do we actually have the FULL, concrete picture? Never. We have that, never. History has and will always have different stories, different truths, and different lies. Again, no one is denying or romanticizing (as some of you graciously labelled it) that some of the events which were portrayed in the first *cough* TWO episodes did not happen. Another thing: How many dramas haven't we all watched that sheathed topics that were more sinister, inhumane, and downright wicked than what this drama is receiving backlash for? AND, let's not forget, how many have we ignored? Many. Don't even try to lie, we've all turned a blind eye to god-given facts, historical facts and the results which spawned from it, and we've all denied something in our lives before (so, theoretically, doesn't that make us all denialists?) And finally, need I remind you the title is called SNOWDROP, and this small and fragile flower symbolizes rebirth and overcoming obstacles in life. In that sense, doesn't it mean that this drama has a different, more pure and deeper motive to that of which others call "Falsifying Historical records; Normalizing dictatorship; Distorting history (mind you, haven't we all done that); Historical negationism; and Historical revisionism." And I'm gong to say this again, what about those other dramas, why can't you also lampoon about that now? So for goodness sake, please, stop acting like a bunch of saints--that's the one thing you'll never be. We live in a world with divergent opinions, I get that. BUT in order for a solid, trustworthy opinion to exist, one needs to see ALL perspectives through the lens of EVERYONE who experienced said event/events. Our truth is fiction but our fiction holds the truth . . . ponder about this for a while instead of thinking you know everything about the past when you're actually living in the present.
History has always been a narrow flashlight in a darkened room. So why are some people whining and saying that this drama is 'promoting' historical negationism? Okay, yes, the goal of negationism may be to prove that a certain nation or “race” was the first in something or the first to do something, or to romanticize the past in order for people to believe in it because it was 'better', as well as to attempt to establish a relationship between a belief system and an (allegedly) sensible and significant history of faith. *But* not all interpretations of history are equally valid; and every society constructs a version of its own past. So, this drama. Let me repeat that. This DRAMA, e.g. SHOW, is not a modified history lesson nor is it a brainwash session. Moreover, it has only been two episodes thus far, so making hurried judgemental decisions (as humans do) based upon insufficient evidence is just as bad as claiming that the drama is distorting history when you (probably some pubescent teenager) doesn't even have enough evidence to support your standpoint.
It has been aired but I can't find it anywhere except on Viki
That's weird. I checked on the other sites, but it seems the episode isn't airing there either, and the only place it is appearing on (albeit without the video) is on one of 'Dramacool's' offshore sites. Eish... this is a sticky-predicky.
I'll leave it that.

Please, do go ahead, sum it up for me.
You would have understood.
