I think some would still find it offensive but probably not to this degree?
it is never said the character is a _Saudi_ prince? I even looked it up, it's nowhere said he is from Saudi Arabia, he could well be from any other country in the Gulf region? So why do so many assume he is Saudi? I even made the effort and looked up the Kandura's colours and styles and I found that the Kandura can be worn in any colour and variation by anyone all around the Gulf region. So what if the shown character is instead a Prince from Dubai or AbuDhabi? Alcohol is not proibited there, also not for locals, as long as they are 21 and drink either at home or licensed venues. And what then?
look into the review section for this drama. My own real review for it is now somewhere at page 10, because the first 10 pages are spammed with offensive middle finger emojis, piles of shit emojisetc. You do think people who are just drama fans do not find these symbols offensive? You think people who take time to write a real review are not annoyed that the page is now not containing an overview of reviews, but instead 10 pages of offensive emojis with no real content? Think again! And I repeat myself: If you are so angered, direct your anger towards JTBC directly, don't ruin a great review page for drama fans around the world, who are not at fault for any of this, thanks!
while I do understand to a degree that some people didn't like this interpretation, why bombard a platform like mydramalist? What has this platform done wrong? what have K-drama fans all over the world done wrong? Why ruin the review page for people who sat down and took time to write real reviews? If they are so offened, why don't they write directly to JTBC? Why here? It's just annoying and no one here has any fault for them being offended for something some writere of a drama in Korea did.
While other places including MDL it is getting bombarded with 1 start rating.

I like the drama but it's not THAT good of a show really...it's just that times are bad and insecure, there is bad news everywhere, and drama-land was full of brutal, negative aggressive stuff the past months (Squid Game, D.P. brutal bully dramas on end) and many people are craving for positive escapism, more than ever.
Still nice to watch, I like Lee Jun-ho - the story is totally unrealistic of course, a spoilt Chaebol-heir falling for an orphan-mere, poor worker girl, but that's exactly what people want to see, the idea that in a fairytale world this could happen, - understandably these days!
it will not get better, this romcom is to sarisfy sugary palates. I'm looking forward Jun-Ho next project, his…
I uprated it a bit after watching episodes 3 and 4. Although it remains a k-drama with many often repeated story parts, I'm warming up to it a little and just enjoy the carefree entertainment taking my thoughts off real life worries
He directed an upcoming Netflix show called Beef starring Steven yeun and Ali Wong. So cool. I'm so excited to…
no he in fact did not The director of 'beef' is called Lee SUNG jin, not Lee JUNG jin. (and I found it to be an awful show, Steven Yeun totally wasted in it)
I completely agree with you especially the first part about her being toxic. I watched this drama initially because…
thank you for your response! And you brought up several more interesting things like that the ml is even enabling the fl's toxic behaviour to go on and on - very good point!
It got me wondering who supplied him with the drugs in the first place. What I'd like to know is if they're also…
it's sad but if you read the Korean news, drugs sweeping the whole country is a huge issue in Korea, and it got worse in the past three years since and after the pandemic. The government can't find any real measres to curb the problem, so I am afraid finding suppliers for drugs of any kind, especially for the rich and famous, is nowadays easier than ever =(
well, maybe you simply have no idea of how things work in general in South Korea...if there had been a chance…
last reply: once again, just unable to accept that someone has a very differen opinion ;) No my ingredients are quite fine, there is no need for you to say they are wrong, but you can say you don't like the taste of the dish so again: eat something else in another place =D
And no, I'm not a 'contrarian' what the heck is that supposed to be? If you really care go check and see that I have reviewed several dramas with quite high ratings and reasoned these good ratings the very same way I reason my bad ratings. But seriously, enough now, this feels like Kindergarden to me, how old are you again, you still didn't mention it - I'd guess between 18 and 30 tops - that's the momentary generation where many (not all!) have real trouble to accept different opinions and just can't let them stand. I hope you don't lose sleep over my reviews, I am really not that important, and you, by the way aren't either.

look, I don't know why you felt the need to even register on this website only yesterday to tell other people how they HAVE to understand the world? But me at an age where I dare to say I have some bit of life experience, I can tell you I know very well how I see things and why. I don't need any stranger who isn't mature enough to accept the simple fact that things can be seen from VERY different angles, to tell me how I have to see the world.
You do not need to share my opinion, it's up to you to see this show very differently. This still won't change my mind though. You do not need to read my review as well, just read all the 10/10/10/10 reviews here which are clearly very objective, as every review that gets four full 10s and hystercial ONLY WRITING IN SHOUTING AND SAYING HOW THIS IS THE BEEEST SHOOOW EEEVER !!!!!!! =D All up to you. Put please have the decency and stop trying to force your personal world view on people with different opinions, it's impolite and I do wonder how old you might be to feel like you understood it all... ;) So, enjoy that show, understand it the way you want and accept that others view it differently.
1. In this 1st scenario, the main point is that she always prepare for this scenario and the reason she recorded…
well, maybe you simply have no idea of how things work in general in South Korea...
if there had been a chance to get her torturer punished it would have happened a long time ago. Why, in her superior position, would that woman now, 17 years later, be afraid to be revealed? And how would the female lead, after back then her teachers and the police let her down and also noted all that down not in her favour, how would she have ANY proof now, 17 years later? She has nothing on her hands. Total nonsense.
Her torturer is now in a powerful position and would have many possibilities to just finally get rid of her bullying victim, thus, her hysterical and anxious reaction is totally unbelievable - and that is my point, the whole story is unbelievable like that.
I won't even comment on many other things you wrote, but as a tip, try to get to know real Korean poeple, those who come out of poor families. I do know some, one of my best friends for decades was one. She is no no more sadly and I could not prevent that, or anyone else. And I can tell you in families there, with way less worse things to happen, you have NO CHANCE to get anywhere concering a career N O N E! You get no chance to go to college.
So this story that she can study and become a teacher here is simply unrealistic fanatsy. If you want to watch something (with a real background by the way) about school bullying and how it really goes, I'd suggest you take a look into 'silenced' (2011) Korean movie. There you can see what most probably really happens after someone was tortured and abused by bullies to that extent, and how many chances someone like that gets in South Korea in reality. But it's alway easier to choose the exiting ' I can get revenge' fantasy, even when in reality it's plain dumb.
