Snowdrop is currently shaping up to be one of the most-anticipated K-Dramas of the year and we can’t wait to watch it. Here are other facts you should know about the show.
SNOWDROP IS SET IN A HISTORICAL AND CULTURALLY IMPORTANT TIME
The series takes place in 1987, and this isn’t just any random year. This is a culturally and historically significant year for the country as this was during South Korea’s Democracy Movement. Thousands of people would hit the streets in mass protests which would eventually lead to the fall of authoritarian rule and establish the present-day democracy we know today.
JISOO AND JUNG HAE IN WILL PLAY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Jung Hae In plays Im Soo Ho. He is a graduate student who participates in a pro-democracy protest. Jisoo plays Eun Young Ro, a university student. One day, Im Soo Ho goes into hiding in order to not get arrested by the government and Eun Young Cho decides to help him by hiding him in her all-girls dormitory. There, the two then start to develop feelings for one another. The show comes from Cho Hyun Tak and Yoo Hyun Mi, who wrote and directed Sky Castle, the previously most-watched K-Drama in Korean history. Jang Seung Jo, Yoo In Na, Kim Hye Joon, and Yook Se Ah are also set to star in the K-Drama.

She has also done her fair share of commercials and appeared in other artists’ music videos.
