If you choose to be offended, pls be offended by women's lack of rights in Saudi Arabia and the human rights abuses. If anything KTL paints a too rosy picture of the Saudi prince. Here's the truth:
Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud (Arabic: محمد بن سلمان آل سعود, romanized: Muḥammad bin Salmān ʾĀl Su‘ūd; born 31 August 1985), colloquially known by his initials MBS or MbS,[1][2] is Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia. He also serves as the chairman of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs and chairman of the Council of Political and Security Affairs. He is considered the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia, being deemed as such even before his appointment as prime minister in 2022. He served as minister of defense from 2015 to 2022. He is the seventh son of King Salman.
Mohammed was born as the first child of Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz and his third wife, Fahda bint Falah Al Hithlain. After obtaining a law degree from King Saud University, he served as an advisor to his father. After Salman became king, he appointed Mohammed defense minister and deputy crown prince in 2015. Mohammed was promoted to crown prince after the dismissal of Crown Prince Muhammad bin Nayef, King Salman's nephew, in 2017. Salman ceded the position of prime minister to his son in 2022.
Mohammed rules an authoritarian government. There are no democratic institutions in Saudi Arabia, and repression is widespread. Islamic scholars, human rights activists, women's rights activists, journalists, former insiders, Islamists, and other political dissidents are systematically repressed through tactics including torture and jailing, and some reports have alleged that Mohammed uses a group known as the Tiger Squad to carry out extrajudicial killings. A CIA report released in 2021 implicated him of being personally linked to the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi Arabian Washington Post columnist and critic of Saudi government, but Mohammed has denied involvement in the killing. Mohammed was the architect of Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen which has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis and famine there. His government was also involved in the escalation of the Qatar diplomatic crisis, the 2017 detention of Lebanese prime minister Saad Hariri, a 2018 diplomatic spat with Canada, the arrest of Saudi princes and billionaires in 2017, the 2018–2019 Saudi crackdown on feminists, an alleged phone hack against Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos in 2019, and treason charges against his cousin and rival Muhammad bin Nayef in 2020. Saudi Arabia's relations with the Biden administration have been strained, especially after Mohammed's refusal to increase oil production in the wake of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Kinda funny how there are at least 50 new accounts since yesterday only to bash the drama. You do know that mydramalist…
MDL shows them, there's a 1 day lag for updates. But I agree with you. In real life, Saudi Arabia is rife with problems (mistreatment of immigrant workers, no gender equality, ruled by one clan who owns all wealth and power). None of these people undersntad real life politics. Nothing to respect, about Saudi Arabia, absolutely nothing. Funding and spreading terrorism and wahhabi religion. But KTL is just comedy gold. Woke people do have a problem with making a distinction between fiction and reality.
I watched Season 2 years back, Season 1 wasn't on Netflix then. Now watching S1, this still is good and fresh. I find this a relatable and realistic drama. The challenges of entering an independent life and making friends, experiencing unbalanced relationships with the opposite sex, desperately searching to find someone. This is so much more down-to-earth than dramas like Celebrity or Fabulous. It's also from a period when k-dramas were less prim. I like that particular aspect, and the realism.
If anyone replied to me under a certain comment by the username 'nappeun namja?', I can't reply back because he…
I block people like that user in a flash. If that thing blocked me - seems like it - it's a relief. You can check out comments by reading them not signed in. Whenever I see someone being rude, to someone, anyone, not even necessarily me, I just block, people don't change and who needs negativity.
Drama that makes me smile all the time. Yoona's and Junho's acting is top notch. A very superficial comment: the makeup is not up to the level required. It's muddy, and makes them look pale and tired. Makeup is so much better in See You in My 19th Life. Product placement is dangerously on the verge of ridiculous (hope it's not going to become King the Eternal Monarch level).
The drama is calmly paced with interesting law cases. It's nothing earthshattering, but quite enjoyable. I like it that the main characters are struggling with ethical and philosophical issues, there's depth in the drama. I agree with some other commenters that the ml and fl actors were not the optimal choice for their roles - they are not entirely credible as judges. Sung Dong Il is always great. Lee Elijah would have been a better choice for FL. The writer went on from Miss Hammurabi to write Devil Judge, dealing with some of the same themes as the cases here. It's a fantastically forceful dark drama.
Dropped at ep 2. Mostly skipping till then. Personally, I was nauseated. Unbearably superficial like Fabulous, which I dropped in much less time. For those who liked it, good for them. I just feel my soul needs cleaning after the experience. Don't get your knives out, pls, respect differences in opinion.
