‘Snowdrop’ to Air Two-Episode Finale in Accordance With Lunar New Year

Disney+ and JTBC’s Korean drama Snowdrop is coming to an end. The K-drama has still developed a fan base that has become enamored with its storyline, despite its initial controversy.  Snowdrop is a total of 16-episodes, but JTBC confirmed its finale schedule has changed. As Lunar New Year approaches, the TV network made a few tweaks in accordance with the holiday.

‘Snowdrop’ stars actor Jung Hae-in and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo in her first K-drama

It is not uncommon for K-Pop idols to venture into the world of acting. Fans were excited to hear BLACKPINK’s Jisoo would star in her first K-drama, Snowdrop. Her first on-screen role has proven her acting abilities while also raising scrutiny. Most of the controversy the K-drama has received is over its storyline based on Korean historical events.

Jisoo stars alongside rising and popular actor Jung Hae-in. Since his debut as an actor in 2014, in Bride of Century, Jung has become a fan favorite. In 2021, Jung rose to immense notoriety in the short K-drama D.P. by Netflix. Using his own military experience, Jung starred as an army soldier tasked with bringing back deserters.

JTBC announced schedule change for the ‘Snowdrop’ finale

The 16-episode K-drama was scheduled to end its run on Feb. 5. According to Soompi, JTBC made a public announcement on Jan.21 regarding Snowdrop’s finale. The final two episodes will air on the same night instead of Saturday and Sunday.

The K-drama has aired 11 episodes, but fans are not ready to let go. According to Soompi’s Twitter post, fans have enjoyed the effortless chemistry between Jisoo and Jung on and off-screen. Despite Snowdrop’s many hurdles, fans have come to enjoy its complex story.

Jung Hae-in even compromised his sleep schedule to physically embody his ‘Snowdrop’ character

There is no denying that Snowdrop fans express their admiration for Jung’s looks and his character’s strong demeanor. Im-soo is a highly trained North Korean spy and a soldier with a history behind him. His physique is dramatically more built in the drama than the other male characters. Jung did what was necessary to bring his character to life on screen. In an interview with News Directory, Jung revealed, “I went to get a tan. And also learned all kinds of martial arts and learned dialects. But most importantly, I have to exercise a lot.”

By “a lot,” Jung means sacrificing beloved hours of sleep to achieve the look he felt his character needed. “If I had four hours to sleep, I’ll split it in half. So I’m going to sleep two hours and go to the gym for the rest of the two hours,” said the Snowdrop actor.
