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 romance between the main leads, the dorm life or student life in the 80s. Such as wasted potential.

There is soo much I wanted to see, the story had perfect actors and theme to show that, the 80s romance, the old school love story, the longing etc. But what we got to see was just action and hostage situation lol.

The ending was also not that emotional like main lead dying makes everyone cry but I didn’t cry or felt sad bcz his death did not came as a shock. It seemed obvious soo it didn’t invoked emotions which is sad bcz his character suffered most and his ending should’ve been the one to remember.
