Kim Mi-soo (also written as “Kim Misu”) was an actress in the series “Snowdrop” which was released December 18, 2021, in South Korea and on Disney+ Asia. The series was produced by JTBC Studios and Drama House and plays on JTBC’s network in Korea. “Snowdrop” will be presented as a Disney+ original series around the globe but has yet to debut on Disney+ in the United States.

Kim, born March 16, 1992, landed herself the supporting role of a student activist named Yeo Jung Min in “Snowdrop” who shares a dormitory with series protagonist Young-ro. The Disney+ description of the “Snowdrop” series includes: “In 1987, a bloody man jumps into a women’s university dormitory in Seoul. Young-ro, a female university student who falls in love with him at first sight at a group blind date, takes care of him despite the strict surveillance and dangerous situation. However, Young-ro is shocked to learn his secret. Despite heartbreakingly watching over his first love Young-ro, Soo-ho has no choice but to move according to the command in order to save his teammates and to go back to his home country where his sibling awaits. Young-ro rejects the will of her father and works hand in hand with Soo-ho to save her beloved man and her friends. What will happen to their fate?”
