yup..I totally agree with you. It's fun, silly & cute. Sometimes cute dramas like this is exactly what I need. After all, it's romcom drama not action or suspense ..this is what we need to watch in such dramas

It’s exactly because I understand the difference between pure fantasy and religious concepts that I commented in the first place.

The issue isn’t “genies in a lamp” — nobody thinks that part is real. The problem is when a drama uses real religious names and figures (like Iblis) and assigns them completely different roles, personalities, or meanings without any research.

If the show had kept everything fully fictional, I wouldn’t have said a word. But once it takes a sacred name from an actual religion and turns it into a romantic fantasy character, it stops being harmless fiction and becomes disrespectful.

And yes — the same standard applies to any religion. If a drama misrepresented a major figure from Christianity, Buddhism, or any other belief, people would absolutely speak up. Respect goes both ways.

Actually no, I don't understand Korean...only basic words & sentences

I’ve just started Dear X and I’m only on episode 2, but yesterday I ended up binge-watching four episodes of Manipulated in one sitting. Honestly, this season feels refreshing — we’re finally getting dramas that are new, entertaining, and far from boring.

What I love most is the shift in character types. The charming leads who are usually the “good guys” are now playing psychologically twisted characters in such an intriguing way. It’s a fun change from the typical righteous hero and the self-sacrificing heroine.

These two dramas have really revived my excitement for K-dramas. They’re still in the early episodes, but hopefully they keep up this energy all the way to the end.

I really appreciate that you took the time to look it up. It’s about basic respect and accuracy. When a show uses sacred concepts or real religious figures, it carries a responsibility to treat them properly.

I would’ve been totally fine if it was a purely fictional fantasy, but once it brought in names and references tied to Islam, it crossed a line. It wasn’t just creative freedom; it showed a real lack of understanding. I’m glad people are starting to talk about it more seriously now

I honestly disliked almost everything about this drama. From start to finish, it was a mess — full of nonsense, wrong assumptions, and total ignorance of history, religion, and even language. The writer clearly didn’t do any real research before writing, and it shows in every scene.

If she had actually studied the topics she was mixing, she probably would’ve realized this story doesn’t work at all. Or at least, she could’ve made it pure fantasy from the beginning — with no religion or real-world elements — so people could accept it as just imagination. But no, she mixed everything in the worst way possible.

The result is a confusing, disrespectful, and unrealistic drama that tries to sound deep but ends up being just silly and offensive. Honestly, it’s one of those shows that make you wonder if anyone read the script before

you care since you took time to reply to my comment. Take it easy and skip any comment that you don't like instead of attacking people for nothing :)

DOOOOOOO one of the best kpop actors, I didn't start watching this drama yet, but I'm so excited ♥
I'm EXO-L & Army ♥♥♥♥

I actually liked this drama. It’s dark — very dark. No romance, no comedy, no light moments. Just the harsh, ugly side of Joseon shown without sugarcoating.

Rowoon surprised me. This is his first time playing such a heavy role, and he nailed it. His eyes and expressions showed exhaustion, pain, and emotional collapse — not overacted, just raw.

It’s not a “fun” drama, but it’s bold and different.
If you want something realistic and unapologetically bleak, this is it.

I didn’t think I’d ever say this since I wasn’t even planning to watch it, but you guys recommended it to me — and wow… it’s so much fun! I’m really enjoying it!

Best comment, but I didn't watch Strangers from Hell, is it good?

Thank you , I will

Eun Jung isn’t a saint or unrealistic at all. She and Sang Yeon have a long, complicated history — Eun Jung has seen everything: when they were broke, when life turned upside down, when her brother died, and her parents split up. She even resents her mother.

She’s not overly kind or perfect — she actually hates Sang Yeon sometimes, cuts her off when things get toxic, but still ends up feeling sorry for her. Some people are just like that in real life — not saints, just empathetic and soft-hearted, especially toward someone they once loved and grew up with.

Her empathy isn’t about being naive; it’s something she learned from her mom, who raised her with too much compassion.

did you know that she acted with (Kim Go Eun) in Yumi's Cells? both have the same roles.
Park Jihyun was [Ung's colleague] who loved him and she was the reason for breaking up between Yumi & Ung

Haha, just a Kdrama addict 😅

No, I didn't, I couldn't see her in romantic role, that's why I didn't watch it, but somehow, I liked her role with "Lee Min Ho" in Pachinko , maybe because her role was about struggling in life more that romantic scenes

well , that's fair enough

Is Typhoon Family worth watching? I haven’t started it yet, but I wanted to share my initial thoughts. I really loved Lee Jun Ho in The Red Sleeve—his performance was amazing! I also liked the leading actress from Pachinko.

However, I noticed her new role is in a romance, and I’m not sure this genre suits her, so I’m a bit hesitant to watch. This isn’t a criticism of her acting at all, but sometimes certain roles just don’t fit some actors. That said, my love for Lee Jun Ho makes me tempted to give the series a try.

It’s okay 😊 no offense taken.

Yeah, she did really well overall. She always brings something special to her roles.
BTW, I'm a girl :)
