1) The first couple was cute but I found them a bit boring and the masturbation addiction really threw me off, as I didn’t expect it to center the first 2 episodes. I liked that they openly mentioned how sex/masturbation compared to some dramas where they hide away from it especially highschool ones.
I kept watching as I didn’t know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised with the second couple.
2) This couple need to have their own drama, the actors chemistry and looks really kept me hook on their episodes. Their plot is good, the fake dating trope was really well done and their end of story really wrapped up well. Their kissing was so much better than some other couples in dramaland, it wasn’t cringy or awkward as you would expect from highschool dramas. Like I already said if you don’t want to watch the full drama episode 3-5 are the much watch and you will not regret it. If I ever rewatch the drama I would be likely to just go back to this couple as I already done twice already.
3) I was slightly disappointed with the 3rd couple, I really didn’t like how the plot surrounded the girl’s weight, (especially the fact that in my opinion she ain’t fat but more towards healthy). Additionally I couldn’t enjoy the 3rd couple to the fullest as the second couple really put the bar high and therefore it was hard for them to keep me as hooked. The ending also left me slightly dissatisfied, but overall this drama is a good watch.
The music didn’t stick out to me so I won’t talk about it as I got nothing to say.

Beautifully painful
I randomly started this drama and from the very first moment I was HOOKED. The cinematography this enhanced the storyline and made me want to just be there. The leads personality were beautifully written and I couldn’t dislike any of them no matter their actions. Their love story was just so poignant and you could just tell how much they loved each other just by the way they looked at one another (the actors definitely knew what to do).However, the relationship between the leads was slightly toxic and I felt that the whole storyline with the mother was so unnecessary.
Overall, I definitely recommend people to watch it if they need a breath of fresh air and a well written story line.

a beautiful love story
I started this as soon as it came out and binge watched it and I found it absolutely magical.1. it gave the shy boy x popular sad bad girl and I loved it. Lee Doona character was so enjoyable to watch and I loved how she went after what she wanted and let nobody stop her.
2. the relationship as a whole gave right person, right time, and both of them manage to bring something the other couldnt, whereas it was confidence or determination, as well as control.
3. the ending was perfect for them

Randomly picked it up and ended up obsessed
I randomly picked it up thinking it was just going to fill my time and I ended up binge watching it cause I was so captivated. I developed a new found respect for the profession and I loved how the main leads were really complexed which made me root for them wholeheartedly.The fl determination and love for her job was so refreshing and I loved how it one of the episode they discussed discrimation of women in profession judged too harsh.
Eacg episode followed a different cases but they were all interlinked somewhat and somewhat acted as a critism and prevention for society (for example episode 1)

Not an emotional rollercoaster but just pain
I started watching this drama cause of jisoo and the teasing that we were given for a bit over a year and I wasn’t disappointed. I had doubt starting the drama because of all the controversies around it and therefore didn’t really know if it was even going to continuing airing. However I don’t regret it as it was so much different than what others said it was going to be.1) I personally enjoyed the plot. I found it interesting especially at the beginning and it kept you guessing. However, I found it really easy to guess the ‘plottwist’/secrets, so when they were revealed I didn’t have that wow factor. Only two things actually made me shocked and it was because I felt it was really random plottwist that may have been unnecessary to the plot line.
The romance between the characters was little to non-existent and that’s probably why I kept getting excited after each interactions (if you haven’t guessed it it’s cause I like pain) .
And as I said in the title I wish I could say it’s an emotional rollercoaster but to qualify it as that you need to feel other emotions that pain, which was not included.
2) The acting was really good, from the main to the side I feel like none lacked and each delivered their performance to give out the feeling of pain and fear (once more).
Because it is Jisoo’s first time I had my doubt as many may have towards idol actors and I wouldn’t say she surprised me greatly (as my expectations of her were not horrible) but she delivered her character so well that I forgot it was her.
As for Haein, I have nothing to say (if you watched his other dramas you already know what a great actor he is).
3) The only music I can remember clearly is the one from the intro and bonus scene. But the intro music made me not want to skip as it put you straight away in the painful snowdrop mood.
4) The reason why the rewatch value is low is solely based on my personal feeling and the fact that I have to protect my heart from hurting more than once with the same drama.
Overall as you may have understood, my main point is that snowdrop equalled PAIN but I definetly not regret giving it a try.

Pleasantly surprised
I started this movie with a little to no expectations as the plot didn’t seem to wow me. However, I weirdly really got into it and enjoyed how the plot was structured. It passes time amazingly as I somehow enjoyed it and was kind of upset that it was over.All the characters were really amazing and I loved the mix of personalities they had in the group with all an element of fun/playful nature. All of the main characters are likeable + the hint of romance was unnecessary but was really cute aswell.
The music choice and when it was added amused me as it was so random, added to it’s comedic effect.

An undying addiction
Overall, this drama gave me everything that I expected and more, I watched, rewatched and rewatched and every single time the emotions are always at their peaks, the anger, tears and joy even-though I know what happens. Every now and then I catch myself rewatching scenes or when I have the time the whole drama again and I will definitely never get bored (as I said in the title it’s an undying addiction)1) The plot: It is a remake and I haven’t watched the original version so this is solely based on this one and no comparaison will be made.
Everything was on point, from the childhood flashbacks to the side stories (aunt and step-mother rivalry), I was hooked from beginning to end. The strong character development from Min sister was just wholesome, that I just forgave her for all the bad things she done. The relationship between Min and Tor was heart wrenching and heartwarming at the same time. The side characters really added something to the plot and how everything flew well together, whether they were good or bad.
To those that love slap and kiss this is a must watch.
2) The acting: Fern as her first role was amazing and the chemistry between her and Tor was great. The step-mother acting was amazing she made me hate her with my whole being I couldn’t stop rooting for her failure/death, the sister breakdown was really well-acted that I had to feel bad for her, even-though she was clearly in the wrong some tears escaped my eyes.
3) The music: it really added to the intensity each of the scene, whereas it was joyful or stressful. I don’t really know much about the OST’s so I’ll just skip that part. (I know the review for the music is a bit rubbish 😅)
PS: this is my first ever review so it may not be too good and the term used may be a bit repetitive.
