Snowdrop is a political based drama more than anything, the romance element was an marketing plan which I feel like delivered snowdrop the attention it needed, amongst other things. But if you're going into this drama thinkings its all romance. Don't. The actors all did a spectacular job in portraying their characters, what an cast. That is what kept Snowdrop afloat mostly. Although every episode kept you on the edge, it was hard not to notice it becoming repetitive towards the middle and ending, the whole time the SK party was trying to win the election and the hostages were trying to escape alive with their plans changing all the time. It kind of got frustrating. Screen time was wasted going back and forth in terms of getting out of the dorm and that impacted the rushed ending. In the last episode, stories of the characters were finally revealed which could of been more flushed out and extended.

There was so many questions unanswered in the last episode and rabbit holes not addressed. I have to say the story and screenplay got weak in snowdrop towards the middle and ending. What kept me hooked was the romance between the leads, the limited scenes between them created more anticipation but also disappointment as this was marketed as a romance. The politics in the drama can get very confusing if you don't keep up and even if you do, you may still find yourself struggling to remember. This was truly an sad and tragedy filled drama with so much pain. I feel like they tried to deliver this drama too realistically that they forgot about the screenplay. The politics was realistic as in real life politics is very messy, no one trusts anyone so things get complicated but their romance felt like drama romance. Maybe they should of balanced out the drama and realism aspect. The OST was one of the best things. The director mostly grabbed the audience's attention with emotion filled scenes and the unrequited love between the leads, which did the job for me as I'm a sucker for this type of romance but if you're not, the drama won't suffice. A lot of potential missed, but the ambience, the OST, it being set in the 70-80s, the cast, their love and being a huge fan of Jisoo and Jung Hae-in kept me watching till the end. I would still say give it a shot.
