Claustrophobic setting
I used to be an avid reader. If there was one thing I didn't like in books, it was a story confined to just a small town with limited characters. While this series had numerous characters, being in a hostage situation until ep 10 (still ongoing), makes me feel too constrained.I initially watched this because of Jung Hae In because I liked his character in Prison Playbook. But it seems he tends to lean towards certain types of projects; mostly slow burn romances and serious action thrillers?? (D.P for instance; I actually fell asleep watching One Spring Night and DP)
Jisoo on the other hand, was surprisingly good for a newcomer. You would not feel that this is her first drama.
The plot? Found it lacking..... But since I am already in ep 10, might as well see it through until the end.
UPDATE: DROPPED AT EP 13

Snowdrop Highly Recommended!!!
#snowdrop highly recommended!!!!If you are a kdrama fan that aware of the controversy of this drama that being falsely accused by the some characters and the false leaked synopsys, but now the air is clear and as the other news articles said that the court already approved it to be aired and the production also takes action to sue the false rumours that bring down snowdrop. So, no worries just sit back grab your favorite snack and enjoy while watching it….watch it first and tell it to yourself, I've watched it because I’m a fan of #JungHaeIn and I’m already watched episodes 1-7 and already can't move on from this show #snowdrop It's so addictive and intense too. Honestly, in my opinion, if you want to find a non-cliche kdrama that have a mysterious and action vibe this is definitely need to be on your kdrama-list. Go watch it!!
Keep fighting for the rating!
So happy that ratings increased after being in 1%-2% range since 2 weeks. Snowdrop fighting! Snowdrop is so exciting and in every episode is unpredictable. While watching you can’t hold your breath in every scene…With dark comedy too. As expected those who were fussing about it without watching it first were proven wrong. The story involves a fictional North and South thing like Crash Landing on You, The King 2 Hearts and many more dramas before. Never judge before watching a show!
Now lets all sit back and enjoy this star studded thoroughly enjoyable satire comedy romance action drama. Additionally, if you are a true KDrama fan as we know that most KDramas always makes us wonder about alternate or possible endings and we should prepare ourselves to endure the pain during the ending. #JungHaeIn #Snowdrop

Highly Recommended
If this drama continues to be this interesting until the end, I will definitely add it to my very short list of favorite kdramas of all time, which includes D.P., My Mister, Prison Playbook, Reply 1988 and Misaeng: Incomplete Life.So far, the story is very interesting and every episode leaves me hanging and wanting for more. All the actors are amazing. Blackpink Jisoo is doing a great job for a rookie actress. Tbh, I didn't expect much from her since this is her first lead role and only had cameos in her acting resume. But I did find her acting to be very natural. Jung Haein is phenomenal, as always! I can see why he was cast as Im Sooho: he has the duality of being charming and innocent-looking one moment, and then turning cold and ruthless the next. I love that he is getting roles that show his range and versatility. He is an actor who can convey a myriad of emotions through his eyes.
I'm aware of the controversy surrounding the drama but I hope people will give it a watch and then judge for yourselves if the allegations are true. So far, I didn't see any glorification of North Korea, the regime at the time and the ANSP. They're clearly the bad guys here.
I hope it doesn't get cancelled as it's a compelling drama. The story is very interesting, and with its many twists and turns, you really have no clue which way it will go. The production is top-tier. The cinematography is outstanding. The OST is beautiful. I highly recommend it!

Worth watching amidst the controversy
I think that while the set of the drama seems rather limited, I think that it was beautifully done up. I loved the aesthetics and the vibes of the setting and really liked the attention to detail. Each episode is brilliant in its own way and is also very exciting. I also think that the storyline is quite interesting, though I do understand that it is a distortion of history. I would like to make a disclaimer that I watched this drama solely as a fictional show.Aside from the plot, I love the OSTs. I don't mind that some of them are in English and I think that they are brilliantly written and produced to suit the waltz/slow dancing vibes. However, while I am quite fond of slow-paced dramas, I don't think I can sit through 16 episodes of this again. I hoped to see more of other scenes that depict what it was like in South Korea in the 1980s to 1990s, as I did in other dramas, such as the Reply series, Signal, etc. Overall, I still really enjoyed the drama.
My deepest condolences to the friends and family of Kim Mi-soo.
In summary:
What i liked - set, concept, cast, story, OSTs
What i disliked - limited set (they've been at the school for way too long)
Star of the show: I don't think there was anyone who stood out in particular. I think everyone did a great job.
Rating: 9/10
Watch if you like the aesthetics of the 1980s/early 1990s and Jung Hae-in (and possibly if you're into Stockholm Syndrome)

“I’m leaving but I will remember you forever. Young-ro, I love you.” – Lim Sooho
"Maybe in another world, another life, we were meant for a happy ending. But not here, to this time."The saddest part about life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory himself. I will always remember how it feels to fall in love at first sight and the desperation of their love thanks to Soo-ho & Yeong-ro. I've watched different kinds of Cdramas and Kdramas before, but this drama is the hardest to forget and the hardest to move on. This drama reminded me of Romeo & Juliet...so I decided to give a review about this drama.
The match stick tower, the paper plane, the photograph, the necklace, the coffee cup, and the tape are the things that won't have a second copy in the world. These are the memories of Soo-ho and Yeong-ro.
Their unconditional and sacrificial love for one another was the most captivating theme of the drama for me. Their unselfish display of love for one another was what made this tragic beautiful love story such a heart-wrenching masterpiece beyond comparison.
Soo-ho thanked Yeong-ro during the tape scene confession for making the flowers bloom for a cold person like him. She was the snowdrop throughout the drama. She was the one who showed him love, hope, and a reason to die for. He protected her with his body until his last breath, protecting that flower to make sure it was safe. We knew they were never going to have a happy ending that many of us hoped (including myself). This drama was more of their journey and the hope they found with each other in a rough situation and time.
I don't know how many times I've listened to 'WISHES' OST of this drama because I ❤️ it SO MUCH! Every time I listen to this song, it will always remind me of this drama.

HAESOO COMEBACK WHEN?
Mainly watched this kdrama for Jisoo's acting, and I wasn't disappointed. For her first time acting she was amazing! I loved how she could easily be scared and upset then switch once a scene was finished. Her chemistry with Haein was something else though! I honestly wish they had a better happier ending because their romance scenes were cute, I hate it suddenly ended and everything turned a bit dark. I hope Haesoo will star in a rom-com kdrama together! The songs were alright, not a big fan but they fitted the scenes which was good.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Worth the Watch 100% and Words can't even describe how good it thought this was!
*My overall closing is at the bottom so you can scroll there lol*At first Snowdrop was on my watch list because I had seen Jung Hae-in in the casting. I love that guy, but I was totally unprepared for how the series would unfold. I thought it would be a cute romance story about a northern spy falling in love with a South Korean girl. Little did I know I was in for a suspenseful, plot twisting, anger boiling, yet excellent show! There isn't too much romance but the emphasis on the things love will make you do, were there 100%.
In the first episode my attention was caught and what kept me from feeling bored was knowing that each character had a shady background. Because I wanted to know what people were hiding, I stayed, and it was worth the wait. I caught myself gasping, crying, feeling angry, irritated, and just in shock the whole time. The whole political scheme honestly made sense and wasn't just unnecessarily all over the place. Good on the director with the tactful connections of how everyone was connected in some way to the government or bad political organizations. Everything unfolded so naturally and contributed to the suspense and plot twists.
Now I usually don't watch many action dramas, because I'm a romance type of girl, but even with the few small scenes of affection between the main leads, I was content, because trying to figure out everything played a huge role in maintaining my attention. I was angry because a lot of characters in the show were making mistakes, which honestly made the show better. I was able to feel a mixture of so many emotions, which was a beautiful thing.
I personally wouldn't rewatch this because the episodes were so long and it wouldn't have that same suspense feature as when I first watched it, because I already know who's on who's side and what people were hiding. But those bonus clips were awesome too! They left the show on edge and hooked you so that you watched the next episode after the next.
Didn't like too much:
I loved the female lead Jisoo, but I felt like her emotional scenes weren't that convincing or captivating. Some scenes needed more emotion to move me to tears, but when other cast had emotional scenes, I was crying right along with them. That was pretty much my main complaint. And also, the hostage crisis was dragged on a bit, and I was wishing that there were more diverse scenes than just the dorm, political offices, etc. In the end the hostage crisis was played out well.
Closing:
This drama was overall great, worth the watch, and will make you sob at the end. I mean I needed so many tissues lol. A lot of characters were irritable and kept me angry most of the show which honestly kept my attention. Everyone was getting on my nerves, but I do appreciate that the show wasn't just mercilessly killing people off of the show like western shows. There were lessons, forgiveness, selfishness, betrayal, shocking plot twists, but that all created such a depth to the show. Every cast member played the devil out of those roles, even the bad people, and it all pulled the show together. And it was one of the best actions/romance dramas I've ever watched. Bravo to every team member who planned, wrote out, and executed this drama. Even my dad was watching with curiosity. 10 out of 10 recommend.

So booooring!
Buon cast, buona colonna sonora e anche idea di fondo ottima. Peccato che tutta la serie, praticamente in tutti e 16 gli episodi, ruoti solo nel dormitorio con pochissimo romance... noioso e poco originale, colpi di scena prevedibili, personaggi spesso odiosi e al limite della caricatura. Il conflitto "freddo" tra le due nazioni è praticamente messo tanto per, caricaturizzato ed esasperato. Politici inetti e inutili che non capiscono nemmeno quello che fanno. Morti senza senso, brodo allungato fino all'inverosimile. Bastava un film di un paio di ore e tanti cari saluti!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Another drama with a damsel in distress FL
I watched this because my bf said this was his 2nd fave kdrama. But I think he was just watching this for Jisoo.The drama is politics, and it all started because of the scheme thought out between North Korea and South Korea to get a political party to win the election. A North Korean spy on a mission in South Korea ends up intertwining with a university female student, and now he's forced to hold the whole college dorm hostage.
I started in 1x speed but had to ramp it up to 1.25x because of how slow paced it was. The whole drama basically takes place in the school, with the students being held captive all day every day. Ep 9 is when things finally start picking up.
I do enjoy the action and thriller aspects of this drama. It felt like an emotional rollercoaster watching the ups and downs they go through every time something new is uncovered. There is romance sprinkled throughout every time the main leads get together. The romance was that symbol of innocence amidst the politics and cruel time period they were living in. You feel for them. You yearn with them for how their life could have turned out if they were just normal people without their background to hold them back.
I could not care for the female lead/Jisoo. She was your typical useless damsel in distress who did nothing but cry the whole drama. Even her dad doesn't listen to her, despite the amount of times she thinks he will. Cheong-ya, or Yoo In Na really carried the show for me. She was such an amazing actress.
I personally wouldn't recommend this drama but it was a decent time period drama with good thrills.

I just love this K-drama.
It has been so long since I've cried this much for a k-drama
(the last being Empresses Ki that I watched last year)
and I felt like my heart was breaking.
I have put this drama in mywatchlist for such a long time and didn't dare to watch it because I knew what will happen at the end (I just heard not seen) but I decided to watch this masterpice now, I don't regret even a little.
I've seen people say that it was boring or that they just wanted to watch romance, but then they should've watched romance dramas. I never mind seeing other things then the main story so it wasn't a problem for me. Other then that, for me was intersting, but at the same time I hated to see how corupt the country is and how people were treated
(not like now is any diference in the world) .
I don't rate dramas from a critic pov, so many will disagree with my raiting. As long as I liked what I sow I didn't question anything else.
What I think was a little strange was the timeline as one day felt like 3 days.
Now let's talk about the acting and chimestry couse that was amaizing.
Jisoo ate even though this being the first main role she got. Many people were worried but they souldn't have. (I am not an expert but it's easy to see good acting)
Also everyone did a good job and no one lacked emotions.
The chimestry was superior especially the behind the scenes. I feel that if there were less or not as sweet I would have been more sad, but the bts cured me.
I never ship kpop Idols but Haesoo is just so cute and un-problematic. If they announce that they're together I wouldn't be sueprised a little. And I feel taht they won't get hate (only from haters and delulu fans).
I don't think I would re-watch this drama soon as I will die again but I would watch over and over the bts of this drama.
