![]() ![]() The rich protagonists were portrayed as equally terrible and pitiful and aptly depicted as bullies who were motivated and haunted by their own misery. The former drama worked for two main reasons: firstly, SKY Castle used nameless doctors and lawyers as the main characters who could be condemned and redeemed in good measure to advance the plot. Let’s return to SKY Castle for a minute though. Snowdrop focuses on the relationship between Eun Young-ro (played by Blackpink’s Jisoo) and Im Soo-ho (played by Jung Hae-in) and chronicles their initial meeting at a group first date to their second meeting with him falling into her dorm window covered in blood and her hiding and feeding him for several days (thinking he is a student protester) to their third meeting where he takes her and her entire dorm hostage because he is actually a North Korean spy. ![]() Nonetheless, I still assert that SKY Castle was refreshing, tawdry, and fun while Snowdrop was vanilla, repetitive and pretty boring. To have it sullied after watching the sophomore endeavour of the writer/director feels insulting because now the original drama feels transformed from a critical satire on Korean elites and their nefarious plans to buy their children’s futures into a run-of-the-mill makjang (though these elements were ever-present). ![]() Regardless of this horrible circumstance and memory, I still loved that show. I remember being sick with food poisoning one Easter and binge watching despite having one of the worst illnesses I had ever contracted.
