Overall Thoughts on Snowdrop Korean Drama:

Snowdrop Korean drama is one of the most anticipated dramas of 2022, it fulfills all our hopes with an amazing story. It provides us with some Crash Landing On You Vibes. I am enjoying this drama, There are many stories to unfold like how Soo Ho gonna save him and save his homeland North Korea. Will he disclose the truth to Young Ro? Will Young Ro and Soo Ho disclose their liking for each other? Let’s see what the future episodes bring for us. I completely recommend this drama.

OMG!!! This drama is not for those with a soft heart. This is one of the most anticipated dramas and it completely fulfilled our expectations. As per the genre, it is romance but the drama is full of deadly sadness with some spice of romance. The leads have just nailed their role and I loved their acting, they just made us tear up and smile together with them. This had a very saddest ending and I just can’t take it. This is just another masterpiece with a sad ending. I recommend everyone to watch this!!!
