‘Snowdrop’: Release date, where to watch, plot and all about Blackpink Jisoo-starrer
A lot of chatter has been surrounding the release of highly anticipated K-drama ‘Snowdrop’ that is soon to be broadcast. Starring one of the most known faces in the K-pop industry, the show is seeing a lot of attention and in the effort to meet the expectations set by fans for the drama, the Blackpink Jisoo-starrer dark comedy, romance show took a long time to be broadcast.
The show was announced to have Jisoo of Blackpink on board as early as August, 2020 but soon after the schedule for the show began, filming had to be halted due to Covid-19 cases among staff members. The show was also mired by some controversy in terms of its script having historical inaccuracies that led to some backlash among Korean fans. Since 'Snowdrop' is based on a historical event related to the Korean freedom struggle, fans had been hoping this show does not turn out like other shows involved in controversies and prayed for Jisoo’s drama to see the light of day. Well, it seems like that day is coming soon as the show is about to drop very soon. While we do not know if Jisoo's character will make it to the end of the show, what we do know is when it drops and all other information you need to know ahead of its release.

Plot
‘Snowdrop’ is set in the year 1987 where Im Soo-ho (played by Jung Hae-in) and Eun Young-ro (played by Kim Jisoo) are students at a prestigious university in Seoul. The character of Im Soo-ho is a young man who grew up in Germany and has a gentle charm but gives off an air of secrecy while Eun Young-ro is a lively, lovable, and cheerful young woman that fell in love with Soo-ho at first sight at a social gathering.
The mystery in the drama ensues when one day, Soo-ho rushes into a female dormitory covered in blood while Young-ro, who is present there, offers Soo-ho shelter and tends to his wounds. Young-ro shelters Soo-ho from the warden of the dorm as well from other surveillance. The journey of the story will follow how Young-ro’s act of love will lead to a shocking turn of events where his secrets could possibly cost Young-ro (Jisoo) her life.
Trailer
The trailer for 'Snowdrop' opens with the two main leads, Soo-ho and Young-ro meeting at an old bookshop by chance and follows their romantic journey but the mystery of the drama is revealed as soon as a glass frame falls to the floor and crashes into pieces. Many soldiers are seen preparing their ammunition for war while older people in charge of the country cause a war to break out leading all students to find refuge in the dorms. We see the love story of Soo-ho and Young-ro take a wild turn as the lives of young people are in danger.
