“Nothing to do with history” and yet the president is the spitting image of this fucking fucker eh

“Maybe the NSA director is actually a villain?”
Well thus far he is constantly shown to be uncomfortable, conflicted, henpecked, and all-around a sympathetic dude just not suited to the murderer-torturer lifestyle

We are right on track for this baybee

Oh love this! love how all the clearly bitchy women are shitting on the NSA director! More sympathy for Mr Director! (AKA #Jisoo’s dad)

AND he’s married to a bitchy ambitious lady! My god he’s just a victim of this situation!!!!

아내한테 안절부절 못하고 전두환과 하나획가 불편한 안기부장이라니 장세동이 불쌍할 정도다 어쩌다가 드라마에서는 이런 루저로 나오냐
#설강화

Yup Jang Seung-jo confirmed to be playing an NSA agent. Principled and upstanding and yet not principled enough to leave the torture agency. So glad I had to confirm this by watching this shitshow.

Hey buddy he didn’t leave after being disillusioned 😞😞😞😞😞

Jung Hae-in is a grad student who studied at a university in Berlin yup yup just as the drama description said
Why did I have to watch this again? “Because you can’t judge something before it’s out?”

Just an fyi almost all the “bad guys” the NSA ended up “catching” were simply innocent civilians they tortured until they gave false confessions so the very characterization of “someone who just wanted to catch bad guys” is like saying the Civil War was for state’s rights

Bestie that was the translation of the OFFICIAL CHARACTER DESCRIPTION posted by JTBC
Do you read

(Shit translation btw lmao)

When did I say I was mad? I was just reminding you that you said you also would drop the drama if what I said was true.

“Just a lot of assumptions based on small synopsis and taking a lot of stuff out of context” well so far all my “assumptions” are bearing out to be true so I guess I did have the critical judgment and information to make those calls

아 ㅅㅂ 진짜 슬로모션을 몇번을 봐야돼 그만 좀 보여줘 그만 슬로모션 진짜 토나와아ㅏㅏㅏㅏㅓ

Just waiting for the final confirmation that Jung Hae-in is, in fact, playing a NK spy pretending to be a student
Just to hit all the points and get bingo ya know

Oop there it is.

Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME

DID THEY JUST USE THE MOST ICONIC STUDENT PROTEST SONG WHILE THE NSA CHASED DOWN A NORTH KOREAN SPY

야 씨발 북한 간첩 잡는데 “솔아 솔아 푸르른 솔아”가 나온다고??? 야 뭐 씨발?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 쌍것들이 돌았냐?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

잘생긴 북한 간첩을 잡으러 잘생긴 안기부 요원이 우다다다 뛰는데 씨발 솔아솔아 푸르른 솔아?

장난해????

6월항쟁의 주제곡이나 다름없는 노래를 이따위로 쓴다고???????

Nothing to do with history but the literal *actual law* used to destroy people’s lives is mentioned by name so when exactly is the “this has nothing to do with history” kicking in

To recap #Snowdrop
- Jung Hae-in is indeed a NK spy disguised as a student
- Jang Seung-jo playing a “straight-laced” NSA dude who I guess just never sullies his hands with the “torture” part of “torture agency”
- in general NSA seems to be just trying to catch the “bad guys”

Director at press conference: a few phrases got leaked early on and misinterpreted as fact but it’s rly not what u think
Drama: no this is exactly what u thought it was

The protest song that was being sung as we watched NK spy Jung Hae-in chased down by NSA agents was a song called “Dear Pine, Dear Pine.”
It’s widely regarded as one of the most popular “theme songs” of the June Struggle protests.

The cognitive dissonance of this song being sung as the backdrop for a red scare stereotype - I just fucking can’t

아직도 북한 간첩 추격 장면의 배경음악으로 솔아솔아 푸르른솔아를 썼다는 게 안 믿겨
학생운동의 주제곡이 나오는데 학생운동에 가담한 학생들에게 가해졌던 폭력과 고문을 정당화해주는 스토리를 보여주고 있어

아빠 반응: …미쳤구나 미쳤어…

최소한은 해가 되는 내용을 만들지 말아야 할 거 아냐
해롭지 않은 걸 만들으라고

이건 뭐 학생운동 = 간첩 이 프레임 만드는거야? 안 그러고서 솔아솔아 같은 노래를 저런 식으로 뚜렷이 의도적인 방식으로 쓸 이유가?????

Yeah I mean I guess this drama still contained something that surprised me. Too bad the surprise was a total slap in the face for the student movement.

엄마는 오늘 꼬꼬무 전태일 편하고 대전MBC에거 한 아람회사건 특집을 보고 또 조용히 우셨다.

하지만 외국에 방영되는 건 6월 항쟁을 배경으로 한 간첩-여대생 러브스토리.
