Discrimination and racism are everywhere, not only in South Korea. Korea is not like how dramas try to portray it, whether it's romantic drama or bullying related drama. In both genres, there is extremism. In romance dramas, you will see how everything looks dreamy and positive to the point where you want to shift to their country. Whereas, in bullying dramas/thrillers, they will show everything negatively to the point where you start believing this is how actual Korea looks, like a total horror film for anyone to live in. But Korea isn't like this. Korea lies somewhere between these two extremes. It's neither a dreamy land to live in nor a total horror film. It's pretty normal, like any other country, where you will meet good and bad people at every point.
Coming to the point you raised about racism, you will see it everywhere, not just in Korea. Just because a few Youtubers try to vandalize the image of Korea with an agenda of how each and every Korean is racist doesn't mean all Koreans are like that. These Youtubers try to catch eyeballs with scandalous content, which is why you will only see negative content where they portray Korea as such. They know that if you speak against Korea and try to make Indians victims, you will get a lot of views, and you will make a large amount of money out of it. So don't just believe those Youtubers easily. Try to watch different vloggers, especially foreigners, including many Indians, who either live in Korea or travel to Korea, and check how their experience is. You will see a lot of positive responses for Korea as well as negative responses. You can even explore the country and its cities and experience it yourself.
Im also an indian and there was one girl on Youtube who made a video on how Korea is racist toward Indians, and it went viral. Everyone started saying bad things about Korea, but they conveniently forget how India is also a big racist country. There is racism toward both South and Northeast people in India. They call names to Northeast people like "Chong ching chung," "Aye Chinese," "Choti aankhwale," etc. For South people, they will say "kaali bhains" and whatnot. Leaving Indians aside, you can even see Indian men saying BTS and K-pop are gay and Koreans are gay in every Instagram reel comment section. So if this is not racism, then what? Recently, there was even a horrendous incident that happened in India with a Spanish couple. So with all these things, is it okay to judge a whole country based on these only a few people? Obviously not. The same applies to Korea or any other country.
The world is full of racism, and you will meet good and bad people. It is part and parcel of life. And if you go to any country with expectations based on what you watched in some dramas/movies, it will not happen to you. Because the total reality is never shown in any drama/movie, and you can't define reality by seeing things in fiction.
This drama being 8.4 and higher ranked than FlexXCop lol MDL ratings 🗑️
Both shows belong to different genres, and viewers rate them based on their preferences. For instance, if they enjoy romcoms, they tend to give higher ratings, while for thrillers they scrutinize the logic and execution before rating them. Thrillers are critiqued more harshly, which is justified since they rely on logic and execution. However, Im not suggesting that romcoms with no storyline, like King the Land and My Demon, should receive higher ratings. At least in this show, there is a distinct storyline and the characters are quite flawed. When it comes to thrillers, if the execution and logic are impeccable, their ratings often increase after the show concludes. For example, Revenant goes from 8.2/8.3 to 8.7, TFR goes up from 8.2 to 8.6, Vigilante & Knight Flower from 8.3 to 8.5, and Shop for Killers from 8.6 to 8.8. On the other hand, romcoms tend to see a decline in ratings towards the end. King the Land and My Demon as well as TSOPMC, experience a drop from 8.7 to 8.3 and MLL goes down from 8.7 to 8.1. Towards the conclusion of dramas, the introduction of cliche tracks often leads to a continuous decline in ratings.
Kafi non Indians india ke bare me sweet sweet bol rhe toh hume bhi toh sweet sweet reply karna toh bnta h
Idk who started first this india debate but honestly unke bolne na bolne se naa humari country choti hogi naa uspe kuch fark padne wala hai toh kya jarurat hai faltu me ladne ki and its not even like ki mdl ke iss particular comment section me koun jeeta uspe kuch prize money milne wala hai.
I think for some people that scene in ep 2 was uncomfortable and i can understand it even im not Indian but i…
I didnt read all the comments so cant say who started first, but i think MODs need to take action here nd need to delete all these comments unrelated to drama.
Whats with all this fuss about India? Im an Indian, but I didn't see anything wrong in all three episodes I have watched. Yes, the caste system exists here and they used it as an example, but I didn't get offended. Personally I dont see what there was even to get offended about.
Show tried to take a dig at iconic fantasy characters like goblin, gumiho and grim reaper but ended up becoming the biggest joke of the year. (Reference: when Guwon mocked these characters in the early episodes)
So why are you comment with your second account not main account?
Yes I read that review as well. It was very well written and the user analyzed this drama very well. Im actually planning to binge watch this drama so I wanted to know if its worth it or not. Thats why I read a few reviews. I also liked a few others so now I will decide whether to watch it or not.
So why are you comment with your second account not main account?
Not everyone is a hater. Im planning to watch this show which is why I was reading many reviews. The first review with 200+ likes, I thought it must be a really good review because 200+ people liked it. However, when I read the review it was nothing but a rant against haters. How can people make it the top review, which is nothing but a rant against haters? Many viewers will come to check reviews if they are planning to binge watch and if this kind of review is on top then I dont know what to say. I also read a few other reviews. For example the second one criticized the drama but it was a properly written review and the user had something to say about the drama not about haters. I also read other 10/10 rated reviews and they also seemed to be properly written. I liked Shinnosuke Lee's review where he gave it a 10/10, and he expressed his thoughts very well.
So why are you comment with your second account not main account?
I got your point. At first I didn't understand what that person wanted to say by saying "come from main account" but after reading their comment I understood what the user actually meant. That's why I explained. Later I checked that top reviewer's account and realized that the account was actually fake created only to rant against haters. I believe the main account of that user is none other than this person Wookie. That's why he/she defended badly, saying, "Why don't you come from the main account?" Such a hypocrite he/she is.
So why are you comment with your second account not main account?
Okay, don't tell me you wrote that review from your second account. I checked that account and there is no mention of any other drama than Samdalri. Also his status of Samdalri is completed on December 11th. I think that one is probably your burner account and that's why you are defending it by calling others to come from main account. Do you think everyone is just like you?
So why are you comment with your second account not main account?
No, actually this is my main account only. Just because I dont update the list doesnt mean I have another main account and I use this one for criticizing others. People need to understand that some people dont believe in updating list of watched dramas, yet they can still comment with their opinion right?
Can someone explain why the review with 200+ likes is ranked 1st? I mean, its more of a rant against haters than an actual review. The 2nd one, at least, appears to be properly written but the 1st one isn't even a proper review.
Lol whats with all the fuss about my demon fans downvoting the show in every comment section? Initially i believed them in a few other comment sections but now its just hilarious. Whether the show is actually bad or not, if it gets low ratings, its all because of those fans. I have even noticed the same people commenting in various sections.
As for me forget being a fan of My Demon, im not even remotely interested in that show. I was hyped for this one watched all seven episodes, and it turned out to be disappointingly average. Considering its budget, star cast and production house, i was genuinely excited but it didnt live up to expectations.
Moreover this show isnt even in direct competition with My Demon, TSOPMC is, but that show is doing well with an 8.6 rating because its really good (im watching and loving it). But this one fell short, hence the low ratings.

Lomon is saving grace here.
I mean ab hogya na woh epi, drama ke baare me discuss karo ya phir drop karke move on karo.
