It seems like the writer ran out of ideas, so she randomly searched for Islamic stories and thought, “Hey! Iblis and Azrael sound cool!” Then she went ahead and used their story in her drama. I see many people saying, “It’s just a drama, it’s fiction.” But how can we take it as fiction when they literally used verses from the Quran, repeatedly mentioned the word "Iblis", and based the male lead’s backstory on the exact same story of Iblis? It’s just impossible.
I genuinely tried my best to see it as fiction, but even I was offended. If the writer intended to create an evil male lead, there were countless other ways to do it—but no, she had to choose the worst possible one, and in doing so, she hurt the sentiments of people from a specific religion. Even when the teaser dropped, they had plenty of time to fix their mistake. But they didn’t and went ahead with their bold move. Now enjoy the backlash.
Keeping the religious thing aside, this drama is still not enjoyable. I'm currently on ep 3 and I haven't enjoyed a single scene so far. I'm totally struggling with this. I can't believe that this is what they made after making us wait for 2 years!
I was hoping for them to remove the word "Iblish" after facing some backlash but nope it's still there. They could just call him Shaytan. Idk it just feels weird to hear the word iblish 🤦♀️
Target Person has really great action thriller with BJT but it has no eng subs. In Always on the Move, his storyline…
Oh yes I was planning to watch Target Person but there were no subs. I hope it gets subbed soon. I’ve already watched New Life Begins. I agree NLB had great action scenes but it’s mainly a slice-of-life drama, which I enjoyed. I’ve yet to finish Destined and Always on the Move, which I stopped watching after a few episodes but I think I’ll start them again.
I just finished watching Mobius and now I think I need to see him in more action thrillers. I swear he absolutely kills it in that genre 😭😭😭 but I've already watched You Are My Hero, Reset and Justifiable Defense. Is there any other action thriller of him that I may have missed?
Like someone said before, S2 was basically a remake of S1. Almost everything was the same, just different actors with different character names. I loved S1 so much that I kept comparing S2 to it the whole time, but even so, it was still enjoyable.
