I'm not a fan of Bae Suzy, and avoid her works. Don't ask me the reason, I myself am not sure - its just a vibe…
i so get the "vibe thing" lol sometimes i wonder if this is wrong, i had never watched any works of kim soo hyun, for some reason, even tho i was really into the plot of QOT, i couldn't make myself watch it, now im kinda glad i didn't
Huh? What are you even mad about? The genie-aspect?
I'm not stopping anyone from watching this though? I am choosing not to watch it myself and only replying to the people who seem to not understand why Muslims are mad. Although even if I explain, you wouldn't truly understand it as you are not one yourself, but im just bringing out my point of view. And you are right, what is offensive is subjective. Which is I've said this before but whether Christians or people of other beliefs are upset over the representation of their religion is THEIR business to mind. As someone who does not truly understand the essence of being a Christian, I wouldn't feel it the same way. But do I invalidate their concerns? No. Black people cancel celebs for cultural appropriation, do I truly understand what they're so mad about? No. But who are you to invalidate their opinions? This is a kdrama, which also has the freedom of writing whatever script they wish, but they're airing it on a huge platform, possibly looking for views worldwide. Doing that, they should've seen the backlash coming.

Sure, u may not have a belief, but you should have the decency to respect others' beliefs. And you seem to not understand something here, this is not a matter of disliking. The question of like or dislike comes for something like "i hate seeing naive fls", i can just avoid dramas like that. But this is a blatant disrespect to the religion of over 2 billion people around the world.
Surely I'll see more reviews from you on other media, like horror movies which use Christian symbols in almost…
Just because something has been done for a long time, does not make it okay. Lets say, women have been suppressed for a long time, so its okay? In many Asian regions, parents beating children to discipline them was considered normal if not expected. So why're they raising awareness now? Why bother being a feminist? What's the point? Sure, but you see there's a scale and this is high-key offensive
Many pieces of media portrays Buddhist and Christian figures differently or even completely wrong. Do Christians…
So? Everyone should just keep quiet? A big production like this with such high profile actors should've had the minimum decency to respect other's belief. They still stuck to this "iblish" after all that backlash from the trailer. But the Muslims are wrong for being mad?
Huh? What are you even mad about? The genie-aspect?
No its not about the genie-aspect, were they mad at Disney's Aladdin? No. There are also many Indonesian horror films based on Islam, that Muslims themselves watch. But here the male main character is not just any Genie, or just any Satan, he's said to be Iblees. Now basically a bunch of Korean people are glorifying and romanticizing the very evil of their religion, why's it so weird for them to be offended? Also who are you, non Muslims to decide whether their anger is justified?

Its for Christians to decide whether they'll be offended since its THEIR belief. A big production like this with such high profile actors should've had the minimum decency to respect other's belief. They still sticked to this "iblish" after all that backlash from the trailer. So are the Muslims wrong for being mad?
are you not aware of the cultural appropriation that would result in? the black community would be mad af cultural appropriation is a thing, whether u believe in it or not doesn't really matter
People doing reviews already when the drama was released 4 hours ago and the it lasts 13 hours????
i mean it would be understandable if they dropped midway cz they hated it sm/were too bored (i happen to do that a lot), but how could they have watched all 13 eps? only rurubaby seems to have a plausible review
