I wish we, as the international community, had a more effective way to show our support for Korean celebrities…
I was thinking the same about doing something. It may sound ridiculous, but a timed boycott of any kdrama or kpop streaming media would at least gain some publicity and put a statement to 'them'. As a consumer there's hardly any other choice about what to do. I don't mean to harm other artists. It's just about making a stand in a kind if silence.
So sad. R.I.P. Drinking 100 bottles of soju in every second kdrama is considered funny, but everything different from that norm is a crime...what a fucked up society and media over there. Shame on you.
I find the fighting scenes top notch, entertaining, cruel, dirty, just good. It's not much like huge endless army battles, more smaller, but cool. Reminds me a bit on the style in Kingdom, without the zombies ;-)
I swear, the three of them, the mother, the "aunt" and the daugther are so funny. Makes me wanna hang out with them, haha :-) The whole plot is a bit meh but the scenes with them are top notch :-)
Seriously...what on earth is 18+ here !? Just because of the m****ion thingy...get a life, raters, haha :-)
Yeah, I guess everbody is judging from their own cultural background, what makes it difficult. I see from your profile you are from the Netherlands, which reminds me on this in that context: Many years ago I went to Amsterdam's NEMO Science Museum. Did you go there ? There they got a french kiss simulator where two people put their arm into a huge artificial tongue to play like having a french kiss. It's quite funny, in that sense: make love, not war 🥰🥰🥰

...sometimes my wording is a bit harsh, sorry, but as there's nothing much to see and I'd say masturbation is just a "part of life" I found that way to harsh, I guess in my homecountry it would get a 12+ rating. Often violence/murder gets a lower rating than sex and here one person is happily having fun with herself without harming anybody. That's a weird double moral standard. Why are people "afraid" of those things while violence is more fine. I don't get it.
how's the plot? characters? are they written over the top?
General plot isn't too new/special, but the daughter/mother chemistry is really cool, good acting, too. May be a bit in a funny way over the top, but I could think those two could exist in real life :-)
I just find it funny how the Arab portrayal thing escalated. This is a drama, get over it. My country's people…
...checking profile 😇...I think in the Finnish travel guide from Lonely Planet it's mentioned like "It's totally fine to sit with your best friend in the sauna for one hour and not to say any word", 😁 Though I experienced to talk a lot with my finnish friends while there in the sauna, okay, we also had some beers once in a while 😅 ...but yeah, that sensitivity is way too much here, nobody portrayed general life of arabs or muslims here, it was a single character that could exist, and in a romcom.
um... Islam is a good religion, it teaches us about "sabr" (patience). not just angry or blaming the others (the…
Peace & Love is always a good start 😂 I think what you and a lot of others missunderstand is that most non-muslim people would never think that muslims were represented in a bad way here. I also don't unterstand why you think that way. It's one rich guy behaving like some rich guys behave (no matter what religion, it's the usual rich/mighty vs poor thingy) and that happens, saw it in hotels in Europe once in a while. But why would I think that all muslims are like that ? Never! We live/work together here every day with many people of different religion. In basically every third kdrama rich chaebols are displayed as evil dudes, did the Koreans go nuts and protest that their chaebols are represented in a bad way by themselves ? May be they even like the rich/mighty vs. poor. I hope we all can go back to rom com mode and that it triggered a good discussion at least for some.
