Don't be fooled by the high ratings, it seems some Blackpink fans couldn't resist to consider this something great because of Jinsoo.

Theoretically, the setting in the late 80s with political conspiracies could have been interesting.

But all that this series achieves is a constantly repeating display of clowns and amateurs who got into positions of power thanks to their ruthless characters.

On the other side, we have a few characters with some level of integrity who stumble from one silly decision to another, in an endless loop. Worst of all is how they grant shady characters the option to betray them again and again and again. With little to no effort to prevent that from happening again.

In combination it's simply a hilariously absurd string of events, that's becoming more painful with every step.

If you enjoy drama for drama's sake, have fun. If you can handle drama only within realistic limits, you'll suffer and wonder after every episode why you are causing so much harm to yourself. There is nothing clever or inspiring you might experience in this series.

The finale was almost quite traumatizing, but Snowdrop is the most complete kdrama I’ve watched in a WHILE.

The major selling points for me were the stellar cast (apart from Jisoo and Haein who were amazing, Yoo In Na and Kim Hye Yoon had really interesting characters too), the setting (mostly boarding school), the politics and story (the plot twists!).

The OST was top-notch, magical at times, and cinematography was beautiful too.

I'm obsessed.

my god this is the best Korean drama I've ever seen, at first I only watched it because it would be starring Jisoo but by the end the plot grabbed me, the characters are amazing and for Jisoo's acting debut he did fantastic, the ending destroyed me.

this show was mind numbingly boring. 20 episodes where barely anything happens, and a zero chemistry forced romance that ends in the most obvious way it could end. none of the characters are likeable especially the lead. maybe I'm not the target audience but people really need better standards

im never getting over this one :c
im not big fan of action , but this could be a 10/10 if were not for ms ho in the last ep

A case of a quality production being not only ruined by an idol actress, but also: poorly written fictional historical setting, which was at the time heavily criticized in Korea. Kindly look it up in case you don't know. I enjoyed watching nonetheless, as it was an overall nicely packaged drama, good amount of action, great production, sweet couple. If you just like kdramas, it is watchable for sure. But I won't give Jisoo a rookie pass as she was the main character alongside some great actors, nor can I look past the poor writing of the historical background.

I have not watched a lot of kdramas, but I will say this one kept me engaged throughout. While I feel it did drag at certain times, more dangers were added throughout to keep the story interesting, and the ending is so emotional that you really feel for all the characters you've been watching.
