As per the leaked information about the shows plotline, Snowdrop is set in the backdrop of Korea 1980’s and it covers the pro-democracy protests during that era. This is reportedly a love story between a North Korean spy and South Korean college girl. Netizens started slamming the show makers for allegedly distorting the facts from their history.

“History proved that there was no North Korean involvement in the democracy movement. But the drama adopted a North Korean spy as a lead role. It is also trying to defend the spy agency which tortured and killed under the name of the government … The synopsis itself mocks the victims and cannot be approved under the name of the drama … The production of the series should be stopped and canceled,” reported read the petition request.
