I caught the innuendo also. I speculated 2 things. 1) Meng’s sister gave birth to mr. Rong’s son before she died without mr. Rong knowing. 2) mr. Meng were involved with the kidnapping years ago.

Yes, he’s the main lead and plays a major role. There’s also great character development for him.

I didn’t read the novel. So, maybe as the series continues, the brother may show more of his true color if the drama follow the novel closely.

She’s not harming him intentionally. He wants to be her bf, but she’s realistic and knows she can’t commit to the relationship since he’s still under his father’s control. I can’t think of other times when she’s out to purposely caused him pain.

His older dead sister was Mr.Rong’s lover. He believed that she was fooled by Mr. Rong, and that their family good luck charm/ treasure was swindled by Mr. Rong. He’s returned from SF for blood.

Historically, all “maids” are from low class, poor , and uneducated families. They work for wealthy households. There are other “ maids” that are of even lower status like those working in opium dens or dance halls.

I also suspect FL is the daughter of mr. Rong’s murdered best buddy. So far, I don’t detect jealousy from her brother. They seem to have a strong brotherly/ sisterly relationship.

The now pregnant concubine was a former governess of the family. After she became Mr. Rong’s concubine and got pregnant, she got her younger sister to “replace” herself as mr. Rong’s latest love lady /opium maid to further her stronghold on Mr. Rong to benefit her family status.

I really like ShiZhen’s character. Her beef is with Mr. Rong, so she’s careful not to harm other family members.

The opium maid preps the pipe and serves tea at the opium den. But since mr. Rong’s opium maid is “ private and exclusive ,” she also provides other services.

I agree that Jing Tian has a strong presence in the series. I can feel her aura in being Feng Shi Zhen.

I just finished episode 1 and I’m loving it already!!!

I love this period when it’s done well, and the director is delivering nicely. It opens with a violin piece reminiscent to In the Mood For Love which is known for its beautiful cheongsams/qipao. It’s almost as if the director/sound effect team is paying tribute to the movie for its contribution in bringing forth femine essence in the national cheongsam. To top it off, the tango scene is impressively choreographed and shot, showcasing musicality, tension, and mysteriousness. I was sold at this point!

The casting team did a great job with the FL. She has the feisty demeanor as revealed in the alley scene with the neighbor. I love a strong female and she embodies one. I haven’t seen ML’s work before, but so far he’s holding his own.

So glad that I found a new series to indulge in!

F%*^&$CK!!!

I'm so emotionally drained now. Numbed and hollowed out.

YES! YES! YEEEESSSSSS!!!! The BONUS clip from ep 14 is alluding to what I've been wanting for Soo-hoo.

Time to go get powdered sugar to finish making my crepe cake. Yum yum....Tomorrow I can watch Snowdrop while eat my dessert, too! Hmmm...life is sweet! =)

I’m so excited the weekend is coming. We finally can get a closure on the series. Snowdrop has been heavy and long, and I just wanted it to end. If I had any say on how it would go, then I hope the main couple gets a happy ending. Although I’ve watched every minute of the aired episodes, I managed to mentally wipe out most unnecessary noise and fillers, and just focus on the ML/FL’s story and their interactions regardless of how much or little screen time is set for them. They are the magic that makes Snowdrop. They are the ONLY reason why I waited patiently for the weekends for the past several weeks; and this weekend shall be the last.

Nam's contorted face cracked me up at the face-off scene in the school's hallway.

Yup.. yup. ..,and yup. I rewatched that scene too and had the same feeling. It’s just too poignant. How can we deny the strong chemistry…unleashed after all the holding in leading up to that moment?

Yup, I bet my chips it's the "something" like they were in an amorous relationship. I highly suspect that Boon Ok's sister is the one hidden in the folded photo.

Don't forget his cheek muscles and Adam's apple, too. =) He really uses the full arsenal.

Right? So sweet and cute. And to know that Soo-hoo finally allows himself to show his attraction to Yong Ro. The scene was like an oasis in a desert. I was lapping it all up. I'm content now and it'll keep me going for a week until Saturday!
