Ghiocel (2021)

Tocada y hundida

La verdad es que llegué a este dorama motivada por el actor Jung Hae-in y, además, por la curiosidad de ver actuar a Jisoo (Blackpink).

No conocía la trama y después de leer sobre ella, me atrapó sin dudarlo. La verdad es que desde el primer capítulo me enganché con la historia de amor de los protagonistas, pero también con esos magníficos personajes secundarios. Concretamente, con los personajes de las mujeres de los políticos. La escenas de ellas aportan dinamismo y humor, son unos momentos fabulosos para desestresar.

Y aquí viene el SPOILER, se veía venir el final aunque tenía la esperanza de que él no muriera. Esta vez no pudo ser. Tocada y hundida.

Better story than many typical kdramas

I enjoyed the incorporation of 80s backdrop and life in a female dorm. It gave college vibes. The drama gave a unique aesthetic feel that I just loved . Main lead couple’s chemistry was good as they give off Romeo and Juliet vibes. I wish they had more scenes together. We didn’t get to see them together as much. So the sweet moments were less and tragic ones were more.
Although 70% of the story revolved around the hostage situation and I feel like the situation was dragging more than necessary. Still i can’t deny that it had me hooked till the end. because story was interesting and full of plot twits. . I never thought a political plot will interest me and keep me hooked. Ending was expected but the FL was left was nothing at all. It would’ve been better if she was less miserable at the end.
Yoo inna came as a surprise . Absolutely loved her character and her performance. She was the star of the show.

The story was different than usual kdramas and less predictable too. Story gets gloomy after few episodes and gets more and more tense towards the end yet I still enjoyed it. Because it kept me on my toes as to what will happen next.

Too much action and too little romance

Snowdrop could’ve been one of the top love stories of k-drama world. But the writer wasted it all on the hostage situation.
The first episodes gave so much hope for a love story to be remembered and cherished but then it all went down with the 4th episode. The problem was not the hostage situation itself but problem was that 80% of the show was about hostage situation and the multiple failed deals between the spies and ANSP. I didn’t got to see the romance between the main leads that I was hoping for. I was bummed.

There is soo much I wanted to see, the drama had perfect lead couple, 80s backdrop, the old school romance. But instead ten focus was on a lot of action, politics and dragged hostage situation.

The ending was not that emotional like i imagined it would be. Main lead character’s death is a big deal and makes you cry but i didn’t cry or felt that sad bcz his death did not came as a shock. It was obvious so it didn’t invoke that many sad emotions. His ending should’ve been more memorable.

DISNEY and JTBC i will send you my therapist bill.

Each episode in this drama was so well put together and really kept the suspense there wasn't a moment where i was bored or wanted to switch it off, itkept the viewers in anticipation throughout. This drama is definitely not a light hearted drama and it had me in a complete breakdown.

The soundtracks and cinematography were just perfect and the pace of this drama is great as well, nothing felt rushed. Overall this drama is a complete masterpiece. If you are not watching this drama you are totally missing out!

JISOO-
It's so hard to believe that this is Jisoo's first drama because her acting was phenomenal. She portrayed the character so well.

JUNG HAE IN-
Jung Hae In Is an absolutely incredible actor. Snowdrop has just completely solidified why he is one of my favorite actors. Seeing him portray a role so different from his usual roles was amazing. The way he expresses his emotions just through his eyes is just absolute perfection.

Every single actor in this drama portrayed their characters so well.

The leads had fantastic chemistry both on-screen and off screen as well. Jung hae in and Jisoo are literally perfect for each other.

This is now in my top 5 dramas of all time.

Love and betrayals !!

This is one of the most heart breaking series I’ve ever watched this year. There are dramas that are more tragic but if I ever have to say top 10 saddest dramas, this will be one of them.
Jung hae In became one of the favourite Korean actor. I mean ever script he has chosen is very unique and beautiful. You just can’t overlook this man’s potential. As for the Fl, it was the first drama so I wasn’t expecting more and also there aren’t many scenes of her tho. But Jisoo was good. For a debut, she did an amazing work. The only drawback is that this show have way too many annoying characters which will make you to get into the screen and kill them. And some of them aren’t even necessary. I do think that this was dragged out and this isn’t fit for binge watching but this helped me pass my weekends. Definitely worth the shot. Looking forward to Jung Hae In’s Connect.

Soft, vigorous and mind-boggling ✨

Overall:
Can't believe how this drama intertwined a beautiful young romance with a lot of sensitive issues not only involving the most controversial social and political issues but also the selfish, greedy and untrustworthy nature of humans. Its no doubt worth a watch because the storyline is so well-made and almost tries to give justice to each and every character in the most realistic manner as possible. You'll see how the story slowly unravels each character's deep history and develops them to full maturity. Sometimes I even had to look up each episode or discuss it with my friends to actually understand the plot and mind-game better!

For whom?
Go ahead and watch this drama if you're looking for a drama with thrilling romance. This one is for those who love strategies and heated planning but at the same time enjoy a sweet romance filled with trust and faith.

Acting:
Okay the acting was really good that some characters make you feel so annoyed to the core XD
Now this being Jisoo's first debut drama, you need to watch it. She did complete justice to her character. And Hae-in's role was absolute masterpiece. Not to forget the guy who played Nam-tae-il! He did an amazing job in making a lot of viewer's laugh :D

As delicate as this romance is like a snowflake, you'll see how it tries to stay strong till the end enduring a lot of imposed hardships.

A Tearjerker.

The story, the cinematography, the casts, the OST... all of it was perfect!

Despite all of the controversy it caused, I still watched this because I know how to differentiate a fiction from history. And I'm glad I did . In the end, Snowdrop proved that all of the accusation was wrong.

Only the first few episodes that contained laughter and happiness, after that, it was pure suffering lmao
This drama led me into a slump. The effects it got on me were tremendous. I can't watch any dramas without thinking about Young-ro and Soo-ho's tragedy. I cried on almost every episode, especially the ending.

I can't believe this was Jisoo's debut as the main lead. Her emotions, her tears - my heart was slaughtered by it. I don't think I can re-watch Snowdrop. The deaths left too much gap on my heart :"

Tears, tears, and endless tears !!!MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!

!!!!MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!

I bravely watched this drama as I already have an idea of what the ending will be like. But it still hurts, it took me a while to finish the drama especially after episode 11, as it became gloomy and man I was going through some shits too. So I took a couple of weeks off before finally finishing this. Snowdrop is that drama, not perfect and flawless, but it has such a huge impact on me.

The actors really did well especially to my girl, Jisoo, I am really proud of her acting here. Now I can see why she got in at YG through her acting audition. She is excellent, I hope that she pursues more acting endeavours in the future. I do hope its not as gloomy as this one. As for Haein, man, he rocks, I love his acting as well. I feel like their chemistry is really off the charts. Every time I see their scenes together I wanna scream cause I can't deal with it. I feel butterflies hehehe 🦋

DO I RECOMMEND SNOWDROP? Of course, I do, though prepare yourselves some tissues. yea tissues. Lots of them.
I wanna say I hope you have fun, but fun is far from this series. 😉

Most favorite

Well this is one of the best drama you can find. Not only for their acting skills but also the plot everything from the start is good. Even though im disappointed in a rush ending and how young ro left alone it make kinda sad. But overall its a wonderful drama.

Thinks i hate in this drama :
Eun changsu, Nam taeil, An gyeong hui did have an ending as i anticipated
Why killing all the three spies ?
Choi suryeon lee tae san mother at the end it doesn't make sense since she didn't do anything to save him and it just added more pain to our boy.

Things i love
The twist and turns
And how they maintained a good humour in between thanks to byeong tae and gwang tae.
And the sweetest couples
Youngro - sooho
Han na - gang mu.
Gye bun ok - gyeok chan
Eung cheol - polka dot
Sooho and gang mu united atlast got me offguard.

Believe if you think this drama is a history distortion pls give it a try u may luv it..
Byee

Snowdrop is a chaotic and emotional rollercoaster of a Kdrama. Every episode is like witnessing a terrifying horror film. I thought it to be more of a romantic story, but it turned out to be more political.
The cast is excellent, especially Jung Hae In and Jisoo. Jung Hae In, who plays Sooho, is a great actor. With just his eyes, he was able to communicate emotions and transmit all of his character's feelings. This, together with D.P., is his greatest drama in my opinion. Jisoo, on the other hand, has left me speechless. She exceeded all of my expectations for a first-time actress, and you can always sense her acting, especially when she cries. Their chemistry is so strong, yet the story somehow wasted it.

With their character and backstories, side characters such as Kim Hye Yoon, Yoo In Na, Yoon Se Ah, Jang Seung Jo, Jung Eugene, and others gave a powerful vibe and helped to carry out the narrative of the story.

The only problem in this drama is the hostage situation. I understand this is because the hostage is a political scheme, but it's unnecessarily long and dragging due to its repetitious scenes and script flaws, yet, to be honest, you'll never get bored watching it.

I believe that there should be more, but due to the controversy, they had to cut and remove it, which is really sad. I just hoped they gave it a chance before falsely accusing it.

I also didn't see any ANSP glorification at all. The drama showed how disgusting ANSP is, how they frame and kill innocent individuals for the sake of their image. I'm really glad JTBC fought for this drama.

The OSTs are lovely, and they provided a lot of emotion to the drama.
Overall, I must say that this is a masterpiece. The ending hurt so much that I don't think I'll ever get over it. If you're wondering if it's worth rewatching, do so at your own risk; you'll just end up hurting yourself. So if you are not into heavy Kdrama, this one is not for you. I cried my heart out, but strangely, it also comforted me. I'm glad I didn't give up on this drama; it's really worth watching.

+ WE NEED ANOTHER DRAMA OF JUNG HAE IN AND JISOO WITH A HAPPY STORYLINE!!
