Snowdrop: The Case of the Hysterical Hostage

My resentment towards Snowdrop can be summarized by one particular point; it actually made me question the legitimacy of the beloved drama, SKY Castle. 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). Nonetheless, I still assert that SKY Castle was refreshing, tawdry, and fun; Snowdrop was vanilla, repetitive and pretty boring.
