Snowdrop – DS : EP07 Scene 81

This deleted scene appears in EP07 of the script and would have come right before Gyeok-chan drags Cheong-ya off to the lounge ... only to learn their newest ‘hostage’ is none other than Moran-bong 1 and outranks all of them. Actress Yoo In-na speculated in her interview that the scene was cut because it was too early for Cheong-ya to learn for certain that Soo-ho has a reason to want to protect Young-ro. That said, when Cheong-ya pulls Soo-ho aside in EP08 and tells him not to screw things up over personal feelings, she opens with the line, ‘The ANSP director’s daughter hid you in this dormitory, I hear?’ — alluding to the below conversation.

Scene 812F Refectory
Cheong-ya and Young-ro sit apart from the rest of the hostages, their hands bound.
Cheong-ya(fondly) Thank you, haksaeng.* You even picked up a gun to save me. Your courage is quite something?

*n.b. ‘student,’ used here as one might address someone by their occupational title.
Young-ro(genuinely sorry) It isn’t. This is all because of me ...
Cheong-ya(?) Because of you? What does that mean?
Young-roNever dreaming he was a spy ... since he climbed into our room injured ... I hid him.
Cheong-ya(!!!) He ... repaid that eunhye with enmity!
Young-roDoctor ... the ANSP sent you in here, right?
Cheong-yaThat’s right, your* father is ANSP Director Eun Chang-soo, right?

‘your’ = ‘haksaeng’ (used in place of a 2nd person pronoun)
Young-ro(flinches in surprise) ... Keep it secret from the others ... please.
Cheong-ya(with a smile) Seems the ANSP director’s influence doesn’t work on his daughter? Okay, don’t worry!*

*In English
Young-ro(worried) My father ... how is he?
Cheong-yaHe’s very concerned of course. He seemed sick with worry over his daughter ...?
Young-ro(feeling apologetic, a deep sigh escapes) I see ... Has the fact we’re being held made the news?? If my grandmother finds out she’ll probably faint ...
Just then, Young-ro and Cheong-ya turn their heads at the sound of strident footsteps. When they see Gyeok-chan stalking over to them, the two women close their mouths ... Then, Gyeok-chan grasps Cheong-ya’s arm roughly and drags her from the refectory. Young-ro, both hands tied, watches Cheong-ya with anxious eyes ...
