Dropped at ep9
I had been eagerly waiting for this drama, but it is not for me, AT LEAST.
I expected a magical, Aladdin-style fantasy, but that’s not what it turned out to be.
I tried to separate the story from religion and treat it as pure fiction but I am not sure what the motive was behind portraying Iblis as a sympathetic victim especially in episode 9 when the script goes like "This is how far you'd go to avoid bowing to a human". The writer could have easily used a different name instead of referencing sacred figures (Izrael the angel of death and Iblis the disobedient jinn).
