Great Aso (大阿蘇)

The poem ‘Great Aso’ (Ō-Aso) was written by Miyoshi Tatsuji in 1937 but reads as though it were older. Like much of Miyoshi’s poetry, it’s a long form, free verse poem written in a highly literary style that recalls classical Japanese.

Snowdrop – DS : EP16 Scene 87

Obviously, this scene wasn’t deleted — but it was pared down (and oft-mentioned in the Blu-ray bonus content) ㅠ ㅠ

Snowdrop – DS : EP14 Scene 61-63

Here it is, the Guitar Scene that D+ posted a thumbnail for, disappointing viewers everywhere when the scene never appeared in the episode. How I wish..

Snowdrop – DS : EP14 Scene 3-8

Originally, the scene at the top of EP14 in which Soo-ho confronts Gang-mu about trying to pull a double-cross was longer and included an expanded version of the EP14 bonus scene (the FB to Warsaw). And there’s a twist..

Snowdrop – DS : EP16 Scene 82-83

These scenes weren’t deleted, but some of the dialogue was dropped and the blocking changed in places.

Snowdrop – DS : EP16 Scene 71

This is technically a pared down scene, as the first part does appear in the episode, but the latter half ended up being cut.

Snowdrop – DS : EP16 Scene 48-49

There was a long-running fan theory that Seol-hee isn’t actually the chaebol she appears to be — and it proved true, though the scene confirming it was cut. These scenes also show Young-ro reconciling with at least one of her roommates, so it’s unfortunate there wasn’t enough runtime to include them.
