Snowdrop Episode 6 Key Moments
From the last episode, Director Eun Chang-su (Heo Jun Ho) strikes a deal with Im Su-ho (Jung Hae In) to leave the dormitory where he and fellow North Korean spies have held the students in a hostage situation. However, at the last minute, the boat holding Professor Han who is bound to North Korea was apprehended by South Korea’s marines. The engagement at the West Sea
“Once the targets are in the zone. Kill them at all cost.”
Calling to proceed with Plan B after learning about the North and South Korean encounter on the sea, Nam Tae-il (Park Sung Woong) orders for shoot-to-kill once the party of three comes out. Su-ho and company are forced to go back inside the dorm after recognizing the attack.
While the students and Lee Gang-mu (Jang Seung Jo) run to escape, Gyeok-chan (Kim Min Kyu) arrives. Director Eun takes back the command rein and asks the force on standby to hold their fire.
On the brink of being stabbed by Gang-mu, Su-ho saves Gyeok-chan and halts him when he wants to end Gang-mu for good. The latter was isolated to another room while the rest were put back to the cafeteria where they were initially convened as hostages.
“Let everyone go. If you feel bad for me just a little bit. Let them go. Please.”
Noticing the room on Young-ro’s hand, Su-ho makes an excuse to bring her to where Eun-cheol is. After tending his comrade’s wound, he also takes care of Young-ro’s hand. Pleading for him to release the hostage if he has an ounce of care left for her, Su-ho responds he is setting her free tomorrow in exchange for a doctor for his comrade.
He coldly remarks that his deed will make them even for the help she gave him when he was wounded. When she gets back to the cafeteria, her bandaged hand causes a stir once again. Su-ho calls ANSP as Director Eun explains why the plan went awry.
He informs him how the ship was caught by the navy and it is already beyond his control. Learning their mission technically failed, Su-ho gives a final warning of blowing themselves up including the hostages.
In the morning, Gyeok-chan contends to Su-ho’s plan of negotiating with Director Eun. Asserting his thoughts of just dying with the hostages, he even rejects his leadership. Correcting his insubordination, Su-ho shoots him with his gun and warns the next time would be on his head.
“If there’s no doctor in 20 minutes, I’ll execute one hostage every 10 minutes.”
Proceeding with his negotiation plan, Su-ho phones Director Eun to demand a doctor as Eung-cheol’s situation is worsening. Declaring a solid demand, Tae-il makes a helpful contribution by summoning his lover Kang Chung-ya (Yoo In Na) to the scene.
Convincing how her risky task of serving a fatal injection to the spies can help his future presidential endeavor so they can be together in the open, Chung-ya refuses to kill the spies, but only put them to sleep.
Also taking advantage of the opportunity, Chief Ahn Kyung Hee (Lee Hwa Ryong) suggests disguising agent Jang Han Na (Jung Eugene) as a nurse. Using Young-ro’s safety to push his plan, Team ANSP also proceeds with wiretapping the building.
Ms. Pi is interrogated for students that need to be released first for having medical conditions. She announces the chosen people to be released but Gye Bun-ok (Kim Hye Yoon) questions the unfair selection picking all the girls from room 207.
Pressured from the guilt of harboring the spy, Young-ro refuses to leave. Hearing Bun-ok’s draw lots option, Su-ho marches to where she is to show she was initially part of the group. But for her being a troublemaker, she won’t be having any more chances even in the future selections.
“I’m the daughter of the director of ANSP.”
Director Eun calls Su-ho to inform the doctor is ready. The latter replies that he won’t be blamed if the people he will send will try anything else apart from what they should do.
When Chung-ya’s and Su-ho’s eyes met, a sense of recognition is seen between them. Su-ho randomly picks women to step out, but another ruckus erupts as the hostages demand to be released.
Unable to bear her emotions, Young-ro bursts out with anger and calls him a stupid communist. That earned her at the gunpoint of Su-ho. Pleading to release her dormmates, she discloses her identity as Chief Eun’s daughter.
Snowdrop Episode 6 Musings
Hands down to how the characters of Snowdrop navigate the contention and cooperation simultaneously in the respective North and South Korean camps.
What’s more interesting is we see this conflict presented by the seasoned actors and the next-generation reliable actors as depicted by Heo Jun Ho and Park Sung Woong and Jung Hae In and Kim Min Kyu.
While they battle blatant and muted discord, there’s also plenty of drama happening to the upper-class ladies. It further supports the already elevated enthralling drive of the series.
Strategically dropping plot variables makes the narrative more engaging. While we worry about how the romance will progress in the story, the politics sketched adds worry if fictional fate will favor Young-ro and Su-ho.
Admirably, the focus on capturing the conflicted emotions of the love pair propels the gravitating point in this episode.
Now that a surprise ally extended treatment to the three spies, expecting outsmarting game is inevitable. Having a secret spy mistress and a volatile ANSP agent hypes the anticipation of how the dorm-highjacking will proceed.
