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?
When she ran after haesang to return the money it was so agonizing and when she went to look for her mom and fell…
Yea and I love how you can immediately tell when she's possessed and when she's herself. Totally different vibe from her. That scene during after wedding party was brilliant.
It’s not his younger brother. It’s the groundskeeper son. The son became a hungry ghost. I’m assuming out…
Ok, I get it about the ghost boy. But I think it's logical to assume that the greed ghost was the initial disaster that happened to ML's family, from which his mother tried to save him and herself. I mean, do you think there were two ghosts there at the same time? I think ML's mother tried to save her family from that ghost by invoking another, that's how she came in contact with FL's father.
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.
