Snowdrop is a 16-part series starring Jung Hae-in and Blackpink singer Jisoo. The shows centers on the forbidden love between a young couple trapped in a time of political turmoil.

"When a blood-soaked man (Jung Hae-in) bursts into the dormitory of a women's university in Seoul, Korea, Eun Yeong-ro (Jisoo) will go against her better judgement and risk being expelled to hide the man from his attackers and tend to his wounds. Unbeknownst to Yeong-ro, the man has a harrowing secret that threatens to put her friends' and family's safety at risk," an official description reads.

Snowdrop is written by Yoo Hyun-mi and directed by Jo Hyun-tak, who previously worked together on the series Sky Castle.

"Snowdrop is a heart-warming fictional melodrama about a young couple in love, and as the story unfolds, find themselves enduring an unbearable pain that one rarely encounters in a lifetime. I hope global audiences find this heartfelt series also gripping and suspenseful as the two come to face their fate," Jo said.
