I started watching Snow Lotus with low expectations and honestly, I think that's the way best way to go about it. All I wanted was a little something to pass the time and keep me occupied while I ate but I soon found myself watching the second episode too!
The Story:
I can't say much without spoiling it, but it's not as predictable as you might initially think! The way they blend the two different time periods together works surprisingly well too, and though the story in general is laden with cliches it was enjoyable and rather touching to watch. One of the characters honestly felt...a bit like a dead weight - seriously, what happened to them?! So there are, of course, flaws in the potential that could've been had with a plot like this: other than just that one unfortunately. But that being said, with a good pacing that comes with such short dramas as this one and a well-communicated sentiment, I do recommend giving this one a go.
The Acting:
Aaaaah~ Ah Jae Hyeon! I've been developing a soft spot for him lately what with watching You're All Surrounded and Cinderella and the Four Knights for example, and of course he acts superbly here too. Though I've had little to no experience with the rest of the cast they did a great job too. I can't fault them.
The Music:
Very appropriate. Perhaps a little better than most stereotypical tracks but not really something I'd remember easily. In saying that though it does set the mood very well instead of getting in the way.
Rewatch Value:
...There's only one reason I'd watch this again given being in the right mood, but alas, I cannot say without spoiling my favourite bit! I can't even hint, haha.
Overall:
Set your standards low and you'll be in for a treat. Snow Lotus is a memorable way to pass two hours of your time. I recommend it!
