On December 16, Snowdrop leads Jung Hae In and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo were joined by producing director (PD) Jo Hyun Tak for the drama’s press conference.

Jung Hae In shared why he chose Snowdrop, explaining, “I had trust in the director and writer and the story was so fun. That was a large part. When I first met the director, I was very confident in the unpredictable ending and the development. I thought that if we were to create a project together on set, it would be fulfilling and I’d be able to act happily. He had such complete trust in me that I couldn’t say no. Since the character had a lot of action [scenes] by nature, I had to perfectly prepare my physical strength. If you look at it one way, the character of Im Su Ho is a pure youth, but he’s a man with strong leadership that changes after meeting Young Ro and discovers the emotions of love.”

Jisoo commented, “I was nervous because this is a field I’m trying for the first time, but once I was doing it on set, it felt like I had become Young Ro. Everyone took such good care of me so I filmed enjoyably.”

Jisoo continued, “Before I went to my audition, I was reading the script and was drawn to Young Ro because she had such a bright charm. I thought it’d be good if I could share that bright energy with others. I think I have a lot to learn from Young Ro who is bright and tries to give lots of people energy, despite not having lived a smooth life herself. I learned a lot while acting as Young Ro.”

The two actors also discussed their chemistry. Jung Hae In shared, “Acting is something you create together with the opposite person but she was so considerate and would immediately understand and implement directions from the director for scenes we were filming together, which is not easy. I was surprised because she was implementing it so well. Since the character at the center of the plot is Young Ro, there are a lot of people around her. Within that, she was stable and made sure that the other students in the dorm could act comfortably. That’s why I was thankful.”

Jisoo added, “Since I was acting for the first time, I wasn’t sure how I was coming out [on video] and was lacking in many aspects. Jung Hae In led me along well and treated me comfortably so it was an environment that I could focus more in.”

Directed and written by the SKY Castle team, Snowdrop takes place in Seoul in 1987. The drama tells the love story between Su Ho (Jung Hae In), a student at a prestigious university who rushes into a women’s university covered in blood one day, and Young Ro (Jisoo), a student at the women’s university who hides and takes care of him despite facing danger under close surveillance.

The drama also stars Yoo In Na, Jang Seung Jo, Yoon Se Ah, Kim Hye Yoon, Jung Yoo Jin, Heo Joon Ho, Kim Jung Nan, Park Sung Woong, and Jung Hye Young.

JTBC’s Snowdrop premieres on December 18 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
