You mean how perfectly they represent themselves in kdramas as heavy drunkards embarassing themselves in public all the time, corrupt politicians & chaebols running the country and rampant bullying at schools? Yea, they sure are perfect, just like any culture on the globe. 🙄 Get off your high horse, troll.

You probably confused it for FL's love for her work and how far she'd go out of her way to make it impeccable. This drama shows that it's a struggle for service workers though. It shows FL and her friends having to deal with these unpleasant situations frequently. And it is shown not in a lighthearted way, but that it's stressful to them. But they're powerless to change anything or lash out, otherwise they'd lose their jobs. And ML after hanging out with them saw their struggles as well, he swore to make their lives better and announced a fight with his bitch of a step-sister.
I didn't care much for the latest episodes, but one aspect rubbed me up the wrong way particularly (no, I'm not…
Working in the service industry is uncomfortable to begin with, especially as a woman. Lecherous, unreasonable customers is their everyday life. And they still have to politely smile to them with that fake Hermes smile and try to reason with them without offending. Not a job for everyone.
I personally think it's about right for a Netflix drama. Netflix tend to produce short kdrama's. In a normal drama…
Personally, I think WWWSK fell off after 6 episodes. The rest was such silly sickly sweet syrup, I got so bored of it I almost dropped it. A Business Proposal falling off half way through the drama is about right. It also had a very rushed, clumsy ending.
FL's mother has some health issues. But she seems so fine I keep thinking she could have worked from home, instead…
I especially like this part: FL's mother's too ill to work, but when free money came by she opened a clothes shop 🤣 Her character is all over the place.
FL's mother has some health issues. But she seems so fine I keep thinking she could have worked from home, instead…
She took the inheritance in her daughter's stead without her consent or signature. That's absolutely bs, it's not as simple as havig a sharded bank account.
Can someone explain this nonsense about racism to me....in fact, I know many Arabs who live absolutely like the…
People throw racism term at anything nowadays without actually knowing the meaning. Just ignore the spam bots and block them. Don't engange in this pointless discussion.
Da Eul's useless husband though 😤😤 he is definitely cheating on her. Even the daughter called him out.
This reminds of a similar couple in another recent kdrama - Bo Ra! Deborah. There they mended their relationship by talking it out and delving into roleplaying games, but I didn't feel it'd last long. The husband there also was a lazy bum who took his wife for granted.
I too demand an apology from MDL! I demand it for making me spend my time to block and report all of those spam bot fake accounts who are demanding an apology from an unafilliated website for inconveniently truthful depiction of bad behavior of some of their men in foreign countries 😂. Now that it's clean for now I can finally see some comments discussing the drama proper. Hire some moderators while we're at it, MDL.
And on that note, do you, guys, think this drama will hold until the last episode or gonna fall off in quality like A Business Proposal and What's Wrong With Secretary Kim? I'm hoping they'll delve deeper into that missing mother sub-plot and fight for inheritance with ML's step-sister. But on the other hand, I dread watching anything business related in this drama, it's so badly done, it's embarassing.
guys to all of u fighting over the arab prince, even tho what he did was haram doesn’t mean arab men dont do.…
So basically what you’re saying is that Arab men themselves propagate the stereotypes by bad examples in foreign countries and yet somehow Arab people are bewildered that such stereotypes exist.
But why are you upset? I'd kind of understand if you were part of the production crew or somehow related to the…
I'm tired of this because this whole overblown drama over this character is childish and disrupts any meaningful discussion of this drama. And newsflash, everyone everywhere is still doing the stereotyping, it won't ever go away, no matter how outraged you are on twitter. And you have not even considered a possibily that another ethinicity actor was cast because there's simply no Arab actor in SK who works in the industry. And Koreans laugh at such characters like that guy in their media all the time. Laughing at local chaebols and exposing their depraved lifestyles is one their favorite tropes.
I'm getting tired of this overblown dabate about the Arab prince. Where are the moderators on MDL when you need them? People insulting and calling each other racist, and creating accounts just to review bomb a drama. And over what? A stereotypical portrayal of a spolied foreigner super rich guy who was supposed to be an exagerrated comic relief? Ok, the joke didn't land for you, but can you really say such an Arab person can never ever exist in the real life? I bet he can. One person here claiming to be Arab even mentioned that your own local dramas show rich guys just the same. It's not insulting when it's domestic? Or are you saying nobody has the right to laugh at the stereotypes? That only an upstanding and morally perfect character of your culture can be portrayed in the foreign media? Then before SK media why won't you start from Hollywood and their decades long caricature portrayals of every single culture on the globe. But please go do it on twitter or wherever else people usually like to gather to complain about everything.
Me, I'm gonna continue watching this drama and everything else from SK. Because South Koreans have a great sense of humor and, best of all, can laugh at themselves. If you can't do that, or find SK media offensive then just stop watching, it still caters mostly to domestic viewers.
I understand why people are angry with stereotypes shown in this show but why are you attacking and writing so…
Because people are childish and can't separate actors from their roles? And can't separate a whole drama, which many people worked hard on, from one incident in it which they've percieved as a pesonal insult?
