As a relatively new C-drama watcher, I'm looking forward to ALL of these! So many of my faves here. Nice job on the article! Sorry that there seem to be so many negative people in the comment section right now.
IMO, what is far more likely is that the Dispatch is a covert asset of one (or more) corrupt state investigation…
We all have our opinions, thankfully. I loved the story and the characters. To each their own. It's definitely worth more than 1, but again, that's my opinion.
Did I miss where people are judging Muslim dress and culture here? Many of us are saying that this article is…
I’m not a polygamist, so that’s not what I’m saying. We see from the outside what happens when your entertainers get caught using drugs, and it’s pretty awful (actual jail time or not.)

I don’t think adultery should be illegal, and your own country got rid of that law too. (I’m not a fan of cheating and I’ve been faithfully married for almost 22 years now., btw.) But laws governing adultery are rarely doled out in a fair way.
What do you think about your country’s potentially excessive use of alcohol (which is certainly an addictive drug of sorts) and the way it views other drugs, (some of which can be used for therapeutic purposes)? Also you all should take it from us that jailing a whole lot of people for using drugs is NOT a good solution, it just makes your jails full.

So I don't disagree with your sentiments, at all, and actually many of us might be trying to say something very similar here. We're usually only given the Dispatch side of things, in badly written articles, which often insult our intelligence. I'd like to either not hear about this, or read articles that give more history and background and not just gossip. In that way, the editorials here were more interesting as they were given space to explore ideas in a creative way.
But I do need to say that, as an American, there is something that happens when the rest of the world sees your culture from the outside and thinks they know it, full stop. And as an American, I'm seeing this happen to you all in SK as your media goes further and further around the world. This has both positives and negatives that can come from it, but one thing that has had implications on both sides is that we Americans were confronted for years about our past (and current) injustices and prejudices by international viewers, especially from those folks who had rights and privileges that we didn't have, or allow anyone else to have. By hearing criticism about these things it often gave power to folks here to advocate for needed changes...and it also helped to have more representation on our own screens. I do feel the same way about your country and the some changes that might help everyone feel more secure in their lives. But that doesn't take away from everything that you're doing right, either. (I'm not saying that outside criticism is the only thing brings change - far from it, but I think it's one of the pieces.)
