This is the song Man-dong has playing on the radio in Snowdrop EP01 when Young-ro and Seol-hee sneak down to retrieve the ddeok parcel Young-ro left outside when she made her daring climb through the dorm window. The song is by Han Jeong-mu and was released in 1950.
The song ‘The Way You Looked When You Sent Me Away with a Smile’ by Lee Eun-ha (1986) plays during the group blind date sequence in EP01 of Snowdrop when the girls and boys are pairing off. It’s yet another iconic song of the age.

This is the song the members of the Dongshim Society are singing in EP02 when Chang-soo gets the news that Operation Phoenix has gone sideways. Along with the song ‘The Last Five Minutes,’ ‘To the Front We Go’ is arguably one of the most the most widely-recognised South Korean army songs.

Jung Hae In explains why he chose the project, shares a bit about what he paid attention to while acting, and describes what it was like working with Jisoo.
The Grateful Magpies–or, more literally, ‘The Magpies Who Repaid Their Eunhye’ (은혜 갚은 까치)-is amongst the most iconic Korean folktales. You could even call it ‘textbook,’ since it appears in many Korean language learning materials. Though there are many permutations, this is perhaps the most common one known today.
