Thinking of things to do this Valentine’s Day? Take inspiration from the Korean drama Snowdrop and try out these romantic date ideas with your partner!
Retro Diner Date
In Episode 1 of Snowdrop, the iconic moment when Soo-ho and Young-ro’s eyes met for the very first time amidst the chaos unfolding in the cafe will forever be etched in our hearts!
While retro cafes aren’t as common in Singapore compared to Korea, you can still take your date to a retro diner and create your very own time-stopping, lovestruck moment this millennium!
For American retro vibes, you can try The Breakfast Club over at Holland Village or Joji’s Diner in Serangoon. If not, for a more local old-school feeling, you can head to Colbar. Dress up for the occasion and capture some beautiful moments!
Cycling Across The Island
No doubt a memorable scene in Episode 3, a romantic bond was forged when Soo-ho cycled through the quiet streets with Young-ro in the back of his bicycle in the breezy weather, complete with his dashing suit and her long, flowing skirt.
With the eastern half of the Round Island Route opening recently, you now have a brand-new green corridor spanning 75km to deepen your bond with your loved one. Bring along a speaker and play some instrumental music in the background to pretend you’re in a K-drama.
Paper Planes

Curate A Special Mixtape
