Arab Muslim/ Muslims in genral should just chill the hell out. Not everthing revolves around you all. Why the…
People nowadays love to play the victim and take everything as an insult. And once they find something to bitch about they'll get on their high horses and do it with gusto. Overreacting over stereotypes is just silly, imho.
I dislike FL's mom's character in this drama - she does not work and if she does, she creates trouble and more…
FL's mother has some health issues. But she seems so fine I keep thinking she could have worked from home, instead of being ok with her daughter having to do backbreaking labor and somehow trying to study in parallel. But everything else I agree about. She's a very flawed, irresponsible character. Also, I kinda missed the part - she was so scared of her husband, she ran away and never contacted him again? Even to get alimony? And they were never officially divorced? I'm asking because she apparently had the rights to take the inheritance. If they were divorced she couldn't have, because her daughter is not underage and should have been the sole beneficiary.
It’s not his younger brother. It’s the groundskeeper son. The son became a hungry ghost. I’m assuming out…
Why do you think the boy was groundkeeper's son? Because of the photos he had in his room? But ML was also one them, no? And I'm starting to think ML was never possessed. What ML witnessed as a boy differs from being possessed. ML remembered everything from that time when it came and killed his mother. If he was possessed he would have blacked out like it always happens to FL.
Maybe the ghost already possessed FL's father at that time. Or maybe ML's mother with FL father's help learned how to invoke it and then it came to her first, because there was no body at the door, just her shadow. Then maybe it went into burned hair accessory which FL's father picked up later and then got possessed.
Actually this is not the first time where kdrama shows arab as an alcohlic in a night clubs , this stereotypical…
I just gave you an example. If you're unable to laugh at the stereotypes and get outraged over nothing, it's your problem. Showrunners from South Korea sure won't lose sleep here, because they didn't do anything worth getting outraged and they were not catering this drama for Arabic audience to begin with. This drama is already a smashing success domestically and that's what they care about the most.
Did they potray India in a bad way in gauss electronics? Saw reviews lik that , bcos of that itself didn't watch…
Wrong. The actor is from Bangladesh originally, but lives in SK. He was playing an Indian in the drama.
Also, for people who were incensed that a different ethnicity actor plays a foreigner role in a kdrama - have you considered for once that maybe there are simply no actors in the industry in SK from that exact ethnicity? Finding a Korean speaking Arab actor in SK who wants to play a role in a TV drama? Good luck finding one.
Actually this is not the first time where kdrama shows arab as an alcohlic in a night clubs , this stereotypical…
Make Arabic dramas and let the world know more about your culture. But that's never gonna happen, right? So instead you watch foreign dramas from South Korea and then go here to complain that people lack knowledge about your culture.
Is it a stereotype, or sad reality? It happens quite often irl.Her husband looks like a spitting image of his…
For most of the world the burden of house keeping and cooking traditionally still lays on women's shoulders, even though they have to work now as well. So it's definitely not 50/50.
If it’s was about your own culture you wouldn’t say it’s just a joke
I know all the stereotypes of my culture and always laugh at them in the movies and TV series from foreign countries. Yea, they're usually corny, but there's a grain of truth in them. People's perceptions don't come from nothing.
So let me get this straight, ML had a younger brother who was possessed by the greed ghost. It's the ghost that inhabits his house now, he ended his life with a suicide. Something something happened in the past and ML's mom decided to run away with her older child and try to do what? She was in the possession of juvenile ghost's items and buried them at various places. Was she trying to save herself and ML from the greed ghost? She came into contract with FL's father just before that, who was at that time already possessed by the juvenile ghost. The ghost then came and killed ML's mother. Was she trying to invoke the juvenile ghost for help and it went wrong when ML opened the door? Or there's something else to it?
Also, ML's grandma is a bitch. Probably favored another grandchild as a successor. Or she's just like that to everyone.
Wow, some people here need to chill about that Arab prince and get off twitter while they're at it. I can feel fake concerned incense from non-Arabs from a mile away here. Yea, he was a comic relief, his scenes were rather cringey and he had a stereotypical image. But it was made jokingly, you can't take it seriously. Neither was his represantation trying to insult anything. And furthermore, the fact that all viewers from many countries recognized the stereotype says something about how Arab world is viewed in general, can't blame showrunners for doing the same.
A sad overused stereotype in kdramas is the “bad husband/dad” and “overworked under appropriated mom”…
Is it a stereotype, or sad reality? It happens quite often irl. Her husband looks like a spitting image of his parents - a family of lazy bums. My question is what will she do about it. Is it gonna end in divorce?
