With the unfolding of the “Snowdrop”(설강화) plot, the Korean keyboard man was dumbfounded – it’s too early to scold!
Previously, the keyboard man believed that “Snowdrop” was beautifying the Agency for National Security Planning ((ANSP) and distorting the history of the student movement.
The plots in the TV series that exposed the terrorist methods of South Korea’s ANSP were all criticizing ANSP.
In the ninth episode “Snowdrop” broadcasted this week, ANSP decided to kill innocent female college students and their subordinates by any means for their own interests, and the housemother played by Se-ah Yoon also experienced the pain of violence by ANSP. past.
The opposite scene between Soo-ho played by Hae-In Jung and ANSP member Lee Kang-moo, he ruthlessly accuses ANSP: “it is a place where people are killed as spies”, “to build their own regime and trample A regime where innocent people live.”
In the third episode, ANSP members also have lines that question their superiors: “To arrest innocent people as spies without evidence, is this also subject to the iron law of obedience?”
“Snowdrop” is a fictional story, but it is set during the June 1987 general election, when a female college student played by Ji-soo Kim and a northern spy played by Hae-In Jung accidentally meet and fall in love.
Apparently the theme of “Snowdrop” has been against the war, bashing the ANSP.
This does not match the claim of “beautifying ANSP and beautifying Chun Doo-hwan” by those who mobilized public opinion to attack JTBC and “Snowdrop”.
Since “Snowdrop” is a pre-production mode, it has already been filmed before the broadcast.

It is not the mode of “shooting and broadcasting” in Korean dramas in the past, so it is impossible to temporarily modify the plot because of the attack of netizens.
Although JTBC has repeatedly clarified that it maintains that “Snowdrop” does not exist in the plot of the hero and heroine participating in and leading the democratization movement.
The core of the story is a hypothetical story unfolding through the general election political situation during the military regime.
It shows the fate of ordinary people who are used and sacrificed by the powerful, but it still encounters a wave of opposition that can be called a monstrous wave.
As many as 300,000 Korean netizens have jointly petitioned to stop the broadcast. Now it seems that “Snowdrop” is too wrong.
It’s no wonder that a South Korean reporter wrote, “Where are those who accuse people of distorting history?” More than 2,200 people liked the news.
As more and more people discovered that the “Snowdrop” plot was different from the “crime” described in the article “Petition to Stop Airing”, Snowdrop’s ratings began to slowly rebound.
“Snowdrop” climbed from a low of 1.7% (episode 4) to 3%.
On the broadcast platform Disney+, “Snowdrop” is in the top 5 in Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea, which proves the charm of the show.
In various online communities, more and more netizens began to voice their support for “Snowdrop”.
They think “there is no distorted history”, “really beautiful”, “those who say he distorted history seem to have never seen this TV series”.
Story discussion posts about Ji-soo Kim and Hae-In Jung also started appearing on various forums. The posters no longer have to worry about being scolded, and can discuss openly.
Although the “distortion theory” has been self-defeating, there are still some voices who insist on opposing it.
Some Korean professors announced that they jointly sent a letter of protest to the Disney president, lest the hit of the TV series will mislead overseas audiences and create a wrong concept of Korean history.
In fact, the judgment of the Seoul Court of South Korea has made it very clear: “Even if the TV drama ‘Snowdrop’ distorts history as the applicant claims, it is difficult to assume that citizens who come into contact with this TV series will blindly accept its content.”
I hope this “boycott” farce against a TV drama can be subsided as soon as possible, and stop letting the world watch the jokes of Korean keyboard man.
