girl I'm crying for you run away or something

Ibliss/satan/lucifer... and jinn/demons/angles/spirits... exist in a billion of religious and literary texts, they have been subject to infinite interpretations, inspirations, and stories. Different beliefs view them in different ways. The concept of satan is not property of one religion. Every religion views itself as superior, and no one should dictate stories based solely on their own background and belief system. I'm not saying that media platforms/content have the freedom to disrespect other religions, but disrespecting a religion can manifest in belittling or persecuting people based on their culture and history for example while taking advantage of their resources; a korean drama inspiring a genie character from satan (a supernatural creature that has been subject to a million interpretations even in a single individual religion's texts) while it wa filmed in UAE is NOT disrespectful. Come on, let's employ some critical thinking. And I'm not an outsider btw. I just don't condemn literary or artistic expressions from my narrow perspective, unless something is directly impacting people's safety and dignity. Satan will be just fine. You are free to watch whatever you want to watch, but don't completely invalidate something for such a trivial reason and put it toe to toe with actual real issues.

This is not an Arab/muslim drama, therefore it doesn't have to abide by any religious rules. The fact that it shot in Dubai is purely from a business/location standpoint. You think when Arab or muslim people shoot movies in Europe they feel obliged to adhere to christian or Jewish beliefs in story telling? Literally what are you talking about. Also, it doesn't claim to represent a religious story, it's just fantasy, it's literally about a magic genie. This reminds me of the people who protested against Harry Potter because it has witchcraft. There are plenty of disrespectful behaviour out there that are truly racially and bigotry motivated, don't waste your advocacy on bullshit.

Because the entire world doesn't cater to your beliefs and it's a korean drama, it literally isn't that deep! If you're uncomfortable, watch something else, that doesn't mean others can't watch

I don't want to come off as rude, I just wanted to make sure. In ethnic households, it has been very common to wash the hair and take body showers separately throughout the week, and this is due to a combination of lack of availability of hot water/accessibility and/or a habit, where unlike in western cultures, people don't necessarily wait for shower time to clean themselves but rather there are instances of personal grooming/washing up throughout the day. Of course, people don't exclusively clean up this way, but it's a normal alternative. It's not that that they clean the hair and ignore everything else, but you can say they don't necessarily need to take a full body shower at the same time every day because they do other ways of grooming and keeping clean throughout the day. Also, there are many ethics of general hygiene in the culture that contribute to the general cleanliness of their surroundings, one example would be no shoes indoors. It's hard to explain because it's very culturally nuanced, but I hope it made some sense.

I'm assuming you're a white westerner

I was trying to figure out which actress does Annie Moon remind me of, and it's heeeeeer!!

I see, I havent started it yet so I dont know the details. Thanks.

I understand there was a tragic event at the end of episode 2, is there going to be a time jump or will the whole drama take place in high school?

thank you

which episode are mingyu and hoshi going to be on ?

feels very inauthentic somehow, like it's trying to replicate a bunch of other shows but it doesn't have its own identity

yeah it is a strange schedule.. you're welcome, happy watching!

6 episodes today + 3 episodes next week + 2 episodes the week after that

I loove haneul and minsi but it's kinda boring, haneul's character performance is what's keeping me invested at this point

I had high expectations, but it's just fine

in episode 7, how does sieun visit suho right after waking up and he's still in his hospital gown, and then he meets his new friends in the waiting room? isn't suho supposed to be in a hospital in seoul, and sieun is in whatever area his new school is at? they made it look like they were in the same hospital..

I have a continuity question

This is about to be my whole personality

of course
