Blackpink’s Jisoo helps Jung Hae-in escape danger in Snowdrop

by tineybeanie

In JTBC’s upcoming drama Snowdrop, Jung Hae-in (D.P.) stars as Im Su-ho, a second generation Korean-German grad student with a heavy backstory. The recently released poster shows him through cracked glass, looking downward. The caption reads: “Im Su-ho. A man who aims his fate toward that woman.”

Snowdrop is set against the political backdrop of Seoul in 1987 and opens with a blood-covered university student (Im Su-ho) barging into a female dormitory. One courageous woman hides him and treats his injuries, despite the danger. This woman is a cheerful freshman English major named Eun Young-ro, played by Jisoo (from Blackpink). She’s dragged to a co-ed drinking party by her roommate and falls in love with Im Su-ho at first sight.

Jisoo and Jung Hae-in are joined by actors Yoo Inna (The Spies Who Loved Me), Yoon Se-ah (Forest of Secrets 2), Jang Seung-jo (The Good Detective), Kim Hye-yoon (Extraordinary You), and Jung Yoo-jin (Catch the Ghost).

In an interview, Jung Hae-in revealed that he settled on this project because of the director’s strong faith in the quality of the project, and his trust that Jung Hae-in would fully capture the character of Im Su-ho. Regarding his character, Jung Hae-in said, “I think he has strong leadership skills. He takes care of his friends and family. He is also firm in his personal convictions.”

Jung Hae-in says he took special care to express the distress that Im Su-ho feels when his entire belief system is wrecked, and he has to deal with a situation that puts him at odds with his beloved. Regarding other preparation he did for the role, Jung Hae-in said he needed to bulk up for this character more than his previous roles, and also that he learned to become familiar with handling a gun.

Written by Yoo Hyun-mi (SKY Castle) and directed by Jo Hyun-tak (SKY Castle), Saturday-Sunday drama Snowdrop will air on JTBC starting December 18.

I'm nervous for everyone in this production.

I lurve Jung Hae In, I don't love the happenings of this drama, but will watch for him

I feel a bit peeved that so many hard working (and amazing) Korean actresses toil away long hours padding up their acting resume, when Jisoo was basically handed in hers. In a major drama production. I'm not judging her, just expressing how I feel.

At this point I'm sure Jisoo will follow similar footsteps to Suzy but then again every idol wants to be the next Suzy. Jisoo is the bigger star globally and YG has strong connections within the industry more than JYP. Would not be surprised to see her opposite Gong Yoo in the future in an even bigger production. For this role she was hand picked by the writer and director after several rounds of audition apparently. I'm not sure if that is entirely true or she was always the person they had in mind for the role.

As always, I'm cautious whenever an idol takes a step into dramaland.
I love Jung Haein and I like the costars. I don't want to jump into conclusions regarding female lead, but I'm disappointed that an inexperienced someone was handed this size of a project.
The production team doesn't seem confident with the strong line up. But then stranger things have happened in dramaland.
So for the sake for everyone involved, I hope she's at least as half good as Yoon Eunhye in Goong. But honestly, I won't hold my breath.

This drama is ticking bomb between the tricky theme and the rookie idol being the main actress between really good actors...

Sooo in love with Jung Hae in.... Don't know much about Jisoo from Blackpink, haven't even seen them sing. 🙄🙄🙄
