"Actions have consequences" The source novel didn't contain any propaganda regarding the "Palitima" issue, and this shit was invented on the spot by the writers. The only thing production studio have to do was release a statement and clarify the facts/clear the misunderstanding and place the blame on Netflix. Which they didn't and "of their own free" will choose to keep their mouth shut. Before you guys blame Netflix for everything, I am pretty sure subs were provided by the production company and there are measures in place to double or triple check everything before its unleashed to general public....because although Netflix bought the licence for international release, the parent company receives the dividends or share of the profits in the end. I support Palestine as much as I support Comfort Woman cause (Japan should acknowledge their war crimes and compensate them), survivors of Nanjing massacre and victims of Hitler genocide because "Evil is Evil" it doesn't have any race, color, language or social status and all evil is bad. Furthermore, whole thing isn't even "This or That", it's labelled by all respectable international organizations including UN as genocide and there are arrest warrants out for their prime minister. I want people to understand, how would they feel if GODFORBIDS war breaks out between North and South Korea, there are thousands of dead and people start clowning/dancing over dead bodies by supporting the North. How would you feel about in that situation? Furthermore, it isn't like people went out of their way to look for that special Korean drama either and can't live without it. Netflix literally shoved it on people face by releasing it everywhere, including in which you guys' call "Problematic countries" and placing it in the new arrival and trending section. The studio had 3 days to clarify their stance and say Netflix "F" up, but they didn't and instead decided to double down and stand their ground. Now people shouldn't cry about the consequences! People here can cry and complain all day long, but it won't change the facts it hurts the production houses. Lol all the international brands and advertisement agencies will be looking at this and taking notes, the actual culprit Netflix will also consider the fall in viewership, negative reviews, backlash and monthly subs renewal numbers. So, next time they won't pay millions to buy the rights of other dramas in future. All these things factor in during "rights sale negotiations" and have direct impact on profits and final price. If anybody is sceptical about impacts, they can learn from Coca cola and Pepsi current plight, they didn't say anything and but are still holding for their dear life in "Certain countries" and have crazy loses. https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/coke-pepsi-boycott-over-gaza-lifts-muslim-countries-local-sodas-2024-09-04/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/08/12/coca-cola-boycott-israel-gaza/ https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/carrefour-announces-closure-oman-branches-amid-bds-boycott-calls I don't know why writers had the bright idea of changing the original plot and decided to play with fire by using this troupe of countries with similar name and why Netflix decided to piss-off at least two billion people in the world but here we are. I would recommend all the "Naysayers" to check facts before speaking, IDMB have very strict anti-bot system in place and if they detect anything. They freeze the ratings and remove bot accounts submissions, and it didn't happen this time cuz they know these are real people rating down something and why it's happening. Too Reiterate, In the world of free speech, Production houses have right to spew propaganda and support genocide, and watchers also have the right to decide "whether they like it or hate it" and we can argue if it was minor issue but come-on....use ongoing genocide as plot device really !
Ep 1: I am confused according to the cast list Jiang Chang is ML, but she is married to SML Liu Chang character in the first episode. So is this one of those "Hardcore Love Triangle" dramas with FL leading both parties on till the end or we will have clean break with solid reasoning in the mid-section. If it's the former I would be like to be informed beforehand, so I can cut my losses in time.
You are lucky than I barely have enough time to watch this one and I am glad they have managed to balance the humour and serious plotlines in this one and FL had character growth in the middle of the drama.
Yep, the currently raging battle of three armies (Bai Lu, Yang Zi and Xi Wei) will have forth player and it looks like entire joy of 2025 will be unleashed in January alone.
There are Muslims in all of those Countries lol. Do you people not learn that a *religion* is not an ethnicity…
Lol divide Middle East ! Arabs can sell and buy your entire country if they want to and "Israel can't do shit". They have pulled out of Lebonan after taking EXTREMLY CASUALTIES and the moment after Trumps becomes president. He will go around begging entire Middle East to normalize relationship with Israel and USA. Indians and Pakistan's are not same ethnicity cuz slaves and owners can never be same, Muslim empires emanating from that area ruled your ass for more than 900 years. Your trash kind can't even deal with improvised Pakistan and only time you ever won against them was when Bengalis betrayed them. Now even they (Bengalis) don't won't your ass and if I remember correctly, they still control huge portion of Northern territory you claim in your maps. Iran already has nuclear weapons, USA has acknowledged it and when Iran bombed the Irael wrecking everything. USA and Iran counterattack was very tame....like children begging for peace. Indian politicians should think about their "Slave workers" in Dubai and rest of Middle East before barking, even your friend USA is kicking your trash kind out now and I know for a fact some will end up in Middle East working in sewers.
ML was talking a good game to his sect buddies, but the moment signs of real trouble emerged, he became a kept man in a matter of minutes....Lol all that boasting and rambling was for nothing🤣🤣🤣🤣.
I am not political person but how f@ucked up "laws and regulations" regarding entertainment are in China for her company to work someone to the point of extreme exhaustion leading to her comma. If that doesn't accounts to "crime of bodily harm", then what in the world does but from what I have heard of mainlands. I am pretty sure even that can be watered down by slave bot armies.
People are criticizing FL for being childish, while whole plotline has word "Clownfest" written on it. Guys its non-serious drama intended to lighten the mood, ML is intelligent and powerful, so they have to balance things out by giving FL that identity. Its not one of those "Ultra intelligent FL with GOD powers" drama and I don't know about you guys, but I see a lot of potential for character development in FL. She is naive cuz of her protected background but once she sees the cruelty of world and her stepsister antics (Prime suspect for mining saltpeter). She will change and mature to become better version of herself.
I am enjoying this a lot but I hope story picks up in upcoming episodes, otherwise it will get dull by ep 20 and people will be bored as hell. That combined with usual mid-stage "Attack of the clowns/trolls" will ruin the mood and ratings will plummet.
One thing I'm having trouble with in the drama is the FL's mental status. I don't know if the FL did but she should…
Hi future doctor! I am GS and I really doubt she would be able to pass the physical and mental evaluations required for obtaining "practicing licence" or ABS (American Board of Surgery) certification. I mean Anaesthesiologist with mental issues, nahhhh imagine her dead friend lookalike is on the Operating table and your anaesthesiologist panics and pass out in the OT, all hell will brake lose.
I'm still here for our fl, I'm just wishing she could chose another man let's see if the jobless ml will commit…
I paused this drama at ep 5 (reading comments cuz I was planning to pick it up) and didn't even know what's going on BUT you lost all credibility the moment you brought up "Suicide" and it really shows your lack of respect and empathy for men in general. If you thought only 5 minutes before writing this crap, you would have realised that how ludicrous and mentally insane your reasoning is. FL wanted to make up with ML in first five episodes and now you want him to die for pestering her....are you for real? Lol, by your logic "throwing acid at females after breakup" is pretty tame at-least it isn't "abetment to suicide" or first-degree murder. Its people like you who bark word "Equality" 24/7 online, if FL doesn't like ML pestering, she can register police complain and have him punished by law (policemen aren't immune to prosecution). I don't like SIMP's and hate this troupe, but they don't deserve death penalty for their crimes, and you are talking a big game here. Let's see if your "Pillar of Morality and Righteous" FL get back together with ML or not, if FL have even iota of self-respect and integrity. She wouldn't get back together with ML after this....wouldn't she? I don't even blame her for rejecting the SIMP, he deserves it but "High Male suicide rate" due to shenanigans like this is a very serious problem in real world and it shouldn't be made fun off. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
