The entirety of jTBC drama Snowdrop‘s existence felt like someone intentionally set out to create a drama that can upset the most amount of people while actually thinking it was doing a work of art. Even to the very end, the story conclusion was as expected to the veteran drama watchers (there was no other ending possible), but for those loyal fans who may have checked it out solely as Blackpink member Jisoo fans or simply those wanting a old school throwback type kept apart by destiny love story the ending likely left them also as upset as others upset about different stuff. Basically people are still upset about Snowdrop, lol, and I’ve snuck in solely to mull over male lead Jung Hae In’s acting growth, nice flex in picking a character wildly different than his softer breakout roles, so I got what made this drama worth watching for me. In the end Jisoo really was not as terrible as some might have worried but she was for sure too green to headline a high profile drama as her first acting role and if she does want an ongoing acting career she will have to pick smarter to accumulate acting experience. Covering Snowdrop was fast out of the gate and then lost steam as the drama settled from controversy magnet to simply a mediocre story that was too big for its britches in what it wanted to accomplish.

It's funny how the most attention the drama get is because the controversy. It's not even a good drama as I follow it loosely，not even a good romance.
Mediocre drama at best and one that wouldn't be on rewatch. Worst start, bad ending.
I have nothing against the people involved in this work everyone really worked hard and did their best here, but after finishing this drama I must confess that I wish I had just dropped this drama earlier. It had a promising start but then they stretched out the hostage taking too much and it just got so boring from there. Always the same setting and story just kept going in circles. The ending only made it worse and now it left me with a bad aftertaste of this drama.
I think this drama would’ve benefitted more if it was a tight 10 episodes. They could’ve shortened the first 4 and then the dorm hostage situation also could’ve cut out some filler. There were a lot of moments that just didn’t need to be there (didn’t make sense), dragged out reveals that led to nothing changing the story, and moments that just took the wind out of the sails.
It uses cheap controversy to make people to watch its' half baked drama. Good for the crew and cast.Luckily i know enough not to watch this stupid drama.
Controversy bait and a horrible drama
Terrible, terrible writing so even without the controversy “hindering” its potential, ratings would still remain in that range. Waste of resources and overall good cast really though funny enough, the actors kept on posting about it instead of pretending it never happened lol
solid acting throughout though.... and solid production because of how detil the PD is depict the situation. as mediocre as this one, would rather watch this over Gaksital.
What a slander to Gaksital, the romance on snowdrop can't even touch the bromance in gaksital.
What a shame to bring down gaksital to make snowdrop good, gaksital comparison just make snowdrop a child play. Even when gaksital has shit romance, it's miles better, the choreography is better, the writing for the female lead is better (the actress suck), the bromance is better.
Ignore that dumbass. She's known for having shit taste. Not surprising given who she stans. And she always has to drag an unrelated actor or drama to defend her shitty flop preferences. Not one to be taken seriously.
majority of viewers know gakistal is the better drama. that user has questionable taste, even saying song hyekyo is good in nwabu LOL.
It's okay if you disagree though.For me Gaksital is unbearable because of the amount unnecesary torture scene they are presence aand the overacting. the character has change personality midway as well.
If she wants to have shit taste, she can have them. But to drag other stars and dramas, that shows how low and pathetic this lady is.
Agree, that missjb user has shit taste seeing who she stans. Trust her to praise bad acting and diss the acclaimed.
what's wrong with acting critisme? we watch to be entertained or get something like the feels from the drama, and it's quality. If acting sucks or lackluster, off course we want to express our dissapointment with actor commitment, especially because we pay the platform to watch to br entertained or demanding quality.
I hate actor who don't commited despite has the talent! it's not like I critics their personal life. I critics their work ethic
Koalas also talk about the dissapointment with the writing. we are here to discuss with truth feeling.
There she goes again. Of course, the character changes halfway what do you expect: The plot at least move. And the torture..come on, as if you do not know or blind to Japanese history drg the World War 2. Plus, gaksital has higher and better ratings too kick the controversy-hungry drama

Problem with you is you always badmouth other dramas or actors when your taste is also questionable. You don’t need to bring up one drama just to prove that you taste is more superior than the other.
I think the controversy actually worked in their favour. It's second episode is the highest rated one and that time was the peak of the whole history distortion controversy. As the protest fizzled out , so did the ratings.
Without all the negative hype it wouldn't even have crossed 3 pc given how terrible the drama is.
It's a good drama. It's just that ending should have been different. If I am given to change I will change last two episodes. It's too much for me to handle my tears.
the ratings remaining steady it's cause of promotion should have been better. Disney+ didn't even promoted very well. Many scenes were cut which robbed us of things that could've made the difference.
This isn't even constructive criticism......This is straight up hatred for the show.....And I watched the show because I am huge K drama fan and I literally have watched Jung Haein's every work .....The fact that I was literally impressed by Jisoo's acting skills after the first few episodes literally made me search her up and then I found out it was her first lead role .....Are you Fuckn kidding me "Not as terrible as we thought".... It's just because you already picturised her as a bad actress in your mind and I don't think so you even watched the drama.......This was literally just the third time I ever cried so bad for the drama.....I mean seriously I can't just never move on from this drama....And this is how impressive the writer is....The writer left most things on us to think which will always be suspensful as to what could have happened to them.....And genuinely speaking it was more of dark comedy mysterious thriller drama.....And yes,Did you watch "Sky Castle" before writing such useless articles about the Writer?
Please I am okay with constructive criticism but this is straight up hatred and seriously I too had big of disappointments with the ending but that only made me more curious what could have happened
You can say it's dark comedy but at the same time talk about how sad everything. Did it even qualified as dark comedy or that just good catchphrase to throw around to explain a hostage situation for half a drama, female protagonist who keep crying, lack of screen time for the romance and dozen of plot hole at the end of drama. Even when you watch it as what the drama offers, the ending is as nonsensical since it just full of plot holes.
It's like how they hair people with the controversy, make it shocking so people don't see how mediocre the execution of this drama. Not getting answered is not dark comedy, sad ending is not dark comedy.
