Lim Soo-ho and Eun Yeong-lives ro’s are flipped upside down as they come face to face amid a period of extreme political instability in the South Korean drama series ‘Snowdrop.’ Yeong-unexpected ro’s introduction into Soo’s life, which leads him to experience feelings of love, progresses the romantic serial, which begins in late 1987 and follows Soo’s involvement in the tensions between North and South Korea. According to the official website, Jo Hyun-tak directed the show, which premiered in Korea in December 2021 before coming to the US in February 2022.
The historical drama series received mixed reviews from critics and spectators alike. Due to its claimed portrayal of the 1987 events in South Korea’s historical record, the show was accused of historical negationism despite earning positive reviews. Since the first season of the show received worldwide attention, viewers of the show must be wondering what the chances are for a second season. What do you need to know about the topic at hand?
Release Date Of Snowdrop Season 2
JTBC in South Korea broadcast the series in December and Disney+ internationally debuted it on December 9.
According to Soompi, Snowdrop maintained steady ratings during its run in Korea, although neither company has revealed plans for a second season. One reason for optimism is that the cast features K-pop sensation Jisoo of Blackpink, which has over 13.5 million monthly Spotify listeners and has appeared on Forbes Korea’s list of most powerful celebrities for the previous three years.. three years! It’s safe to say she has a fan base.
It’s possible that Snowdrop’s fallout could hurt the show’s chances of returning for a second season. The show’s representation of a horrific period in South Korean history, based on a North Korean figure, has irked some viewers.
South Korean demonstrators were mercilessly slaughtered during the June Democratic Struggle protests of 1987, which are depicted in this film. In many cases, conservatives in the country continue to spread the falsehood that the activists were North Korean operatives, leading to the deaths of many of them.
Critics argue that a narrative like this is cruel and demeaning to individuals who don’t understand the context and history of the story.
More than 260,000 people signed an internet petition to prevent JTBC from airing Snowdrop, and several large corporations cancelled their sponsorships of the show before its premiere.
It is a work of fiction and the summary was leaked and “maliciously edited,” causing a lot of falsehoods to be spread about the show, according to JTBC. In some cases, they even threatened “severe action” against anyone who circulated “unsubstantiated criticisms.”

Are There Any Hopes For The Snowdrop Season 2?
For now, it’s not clear if the backlash will harm Snowdrop’s chances of getting renewed, or even if additional episodes were ever planned before Disney+’s move (spoilers ahead).
Yeong-story ro’s sans Soo-ho, who sacrifices himself to defend her at the end of Season 1 is essential for Season 2 to begin. Since the series is still in its infancy, it is difficult to predict when future episodes will be produced, but this item will be updated as soon as new information becomes available.
As of February 9, 2022, the first season of Snowdrop will be streamed live in the United States via Disney+ on that date. Season 1 premiered in South Korea on December 18th, 2021, a year before it was released in the United States, and ran until January 30th, 2022.
There are sixteen episodes in the first season, and each one lasts about one and a half hours.
End Lines
This is all we know about Season 2 at this time. According to JTBC and Disney+, the second season of ‘Snowdrop’ has yet to be formally confirmed. Prior to its debut, the first season of the show was widely criticised for allegedly altering history.
Over 200k individuals have signed a petition calling for the cancellation of season 1. However, even though there have been several protests, the show has continued to air.
Considering how poorly the show has done with viewers, the network and streaming service may be reluctant to give it further time on air. WARNING: This post contains major spoilers! Everything else in season one comes to a natural conclusion in the season one finale..
Ending scene sees a character sacrifice himself to rescue Yeong-ro from being shot. He is slain while protecting Yeong-ro from being shot. Soo-demise ho’s appears to be the conclusion of the show’s plot, leaving little possibility for a continuation.
As with most Korean dramas, Snowdrop is expected to end after just a single season. Protests before and after the show’s debut may have played a role in the network’s decision to cancel it. After airing two episodes, ‘Joseon Exorcist,’ was cancelled by SBS TV in March 2021 due to historical inaccuracies.
If JTBC decides to revive “Snowdrop,” there may be backlash because of the precedent it has set.
When measured against other shows on the air, the show’s national average of 2.738 percent suggests that the network may not be looking forward to the second season. As a result of these challenges, the second season of ‘Snowdrop’ is extremely unlikely.
For those who enjoy Korean and period dramas, this is the show to see. A second season is quite doubtful, but fans can always re-watch the first season on Disney+.
