I know he's named Iblis. And?? That doesn't mean the kdrama is disrespecting muslims

Do I need to watch this or S1 is enough to close the story?? I haven't start it yet but I don't want to see a re-cast

There's a comment on this section that says koreans are used to romanticize demons just because of the kdrama My demon😂😂😂 religious people are a thing fr xdd

Funny you talk about respect and freedom when religions are the first ones (every religion) to attack others when they are lgbt+ or don't follow any of the "rules" they try to put in society

Well if you can't stand a series where the male lead is based on a FICTIONAL evil character and you critize it as if it was a real bad person in humanity history... let me tell you, yes, you're a religious extremist

They're saying that the drama romanticize the real figure of Iblis when maybe it's just an inspiration because of the vibes of the kdrama and not the real Ibish. They're talking about the story as if the male lead was based on a real bad person such as Hitler instead of on a fictional figure

And some people are critizing it as if it was the worst drama they've ever watched

Facts

This screenwriter is often the eye of criticism, she wrote Mr Sunshine and people were complaining A LOT before it got released (because of the age gap between the main leads), but once it was released everyone consider it a masterpiece, 8.8 is the rating in mydramalist. Same might happen with this kdrama, I mean, we are talking about the same woman who wrote Descendants of the sun, Goblin, Mr Sunshine and The glory

Don't watch it then but some of us like seeing an evil character falling in love. Vincenzo is one of my favorite kdramas and he's an italian mafia, mafia irl is not good. Same as My demon, I love that kdrama and the main lead is A DEMON. I love seeing villains falling in love, maybe you prefer a childhood friends to lovers but we are not all like that, some of us like gray morality characters

Terrorists are not going to attack just because a kdrama has named a character like their devil figure, the cast and writer of this kdrama are popular for us that we watch korean content, but general public doesn't even know about this series, it's not Squid game

If you read the synopsis they uploaded (not the one here in mydramalist, the new one netflix has uploaded today) you'll see it's just another demon/human rom-com, just like that kdrama My demon

You can believe what you want too but I don't get why is a problem to have a character based on Iblis if there're other series out there where the characters are based on Lucifer and other religious evil figures. There're even series where God or Christ appear. It's really not the big deal y'all are trying to put

Demonic possession is real, wtf girl, stop watching fantasy dramas please xd

That's the point fr. And even if it's based on the real figure of Iblis, what's the matter?? Other evil fictional figures are used in plenty of dramas (Loki, Lucifer, even in greeke and roman mithology). People are complaining for nothing, I'll understand the complaints if the drama is disrespectful, but IT HASN'T BEEN RELEASED YET. Let's wait, it's only another evil fictional character, it's not that big

As an atheist, idgaf about any religion, but it's VERY different to use a real historical evil person (Hitler or other dictators) and using a religious character (Lucifer, Shaytaan, Iblis) since the second ones doesn't exist irl. There're plenty of dramas out there where the main lead is Lucifer or Shaytaan and there is no problem. As far as they don't laugh at arabic and muslism culture, there is no problem about using a religious name of a non-real character even if it's an evil character

Yeah but, as I said, korean muslims exist even if they're a great minority in their country. I know that muslims are more delicated than christians when it comes to their religions, but we live in a globally world, I mean, Aladdin and Mulan exist and it's created by americans not by mulism and chinese people. It's really not THAT serious to create a story based on a different culture if they do it with respect. Let's wait until it's released and we'll see if it's respectful with arabic culture or not before we critize it

First of all I'm atheist so idgaf about religions xd. Secondly, tbh it's a good opportunity to have more diversity since there're korean muslims even if they're a minority

But it's fiction, it's not glorifying Iblis. As I said, there're plenty of dramas out there where the main lead is a demon, Lucifer, Shaitan or any other evil character, they're not laughing at muslims. It's just a drama based on arabic and muslim culture but obviously everything is fiction

Sorry but i don't understand why people is getting mad just because his name is Iblis. There're other series where the main lead is Lucifer or a demon, I don't get what's the problem with Iblis
