1. [+312, -8] 200,000 signatures in a day...

2. [+305, -27] Dramas that distort history like this should definitely be taken off air

3. [+103, -8] How is this drama any different from 'Joseon Exorcist'!!

4. [+97, -6] We will end up like China and North Korea if we allow the distortion of our history of democracy

5. [+100, -15] I signed the petition. I like the drama and Jung Hae In as well but I refuse to support a drama that distorts history. It's frustrating because viewers who do not understand our history and the background of these events are demanding to know why we are petitioning the drama. 

6. [+42, -0] This drama is funded by Chinese money. They only care about justifying their CCP by distorting our history to look as if our democracy was founded on the efforts of spies. 

7. [+40, -1] You can tell just from the comments trying to justify the drama how much of a negative effect the drama is already having. "A drama's just a drama"??? With so much fake news going around, I'm sure people will just watch this as a drama and nothing more.

8. [+28, -2] Do not mess with Koreans and our history. We have sacrificed too much to protect it. Take down the drama immediately.

1. [+421, -37] People are only able to claim freedom of speech now because of the democratization of our history. The Chinese CCP is using their money to distort our history and claim to the rest of the world that our democratization was made through the efforts of the CCP. If you wish to continue to keep your freedom of expression, then you cannot let dramas like this exist. Please boycott both the actors and the advertisers so that this doesn't happen again.

2. [+264, -27] I will be remembering the names of the actors who participated in the distortion of our history

3. [+122, -11] Protest 'Snowdrop' for distorting our history 

4. [+49, -10] Link to the petition https://www1.president.go.kr/petitions/Temp/F3uDgR 

5. [+32, -3] Of all the things to use your freedom of expression for, you choose to use it on distorting our history? Are the people supporting this drama even Korean? You sure you're not Japanese?

6. [+13, -1] I will not forget the names of the actors and advertisers involved with this drama ^^ will be skipping your future works
