From the West:
I am struggling to finish Snowdrop. First of all, JHI, as always did excellent work and acting. However, he did not have the best leading actress to bring out the best in him. He could have really shown more strength with a different leading actress. Sometimes, people need to stay with what works best for them, and I suppose singing is it for Ms. J. KDramas and acting not so much. She was definitely out of her league with all those professional KDramas actresses and actors. I don’t know who’s selection this was. But, it was not a good one. If JHI made this selection, or recommendation, he must be careful with his future career selections of leading actresses. He has so many potentials, but the wrong leading actresses can destroy his career. It’s so important to cast correctly in this line of profession. This is probably one of the reasons Snowdrop was snubbed for an award, and not picked up by Netflix. Although, very controversial for their country, it also had a lot to do with the acting as well, because his leading lady did not bring out his strengths like some of his previous leading actresses. Hopefully, no more KDramas for them working together. The story line and plot was nice, but, the acting in Snowdrop, am not feeling it at all. Now, his new series with Netflix (DP), is hands down amazing. His versatility in acting shows it. And, it was picked up for a second season, can’t wait. After a few episodes of Snowdrop, to me, I knew it would not be back. Nonetheless, to all the regular KDrama actresses and actors in Snowdrop, as always, you guys were amazing. But, by far, singing is best for Ms. J. I’m on E12, not sure I can push through. I need to watch DP again to give me momentum to finish Snowdrop with JHI and his colleagues. I need help on this one. In my honest opinion, I can’t see all the good gestures others have made or seen, but it is what it is.
Casting, please vet harder. I could name at least 3 leading KDrama actresses that would have made Snowdrop so much better. Actually, the romance story line wasn’t needed, not for this KDrama, it took away from the strong plot. Ever so confusing.
