lol you obviously do care, you've been up and down the comment section giving your opinion on other people's opinion. does it bother you so much that people say your beloved drama is lame? why you think that reflects on your taste? or are yo maybe producer? actor? investor in this series?
just chill

As you previously said, ratings are subjective. My ratings can be quite harsh even if the drama/movie features beloved actors or if there are aspects that I like about the production.
In my opinion this drama is lame, I might leave a detailed review later on.

Humm I think the one slight change in the general idea is the gender bender?

I'll take this as a recommendation! I don't mind watching different iterations of the same idea honestly haha as long as the excecution is somewhat decent.

What? Anyway, I've finished both.

I'm not speaking about the genre per se, I'm talking about the general idea

My bad didn't know what proceeded what as I don't read webtoons, maybe Mr Queen is a better version than this one then?

A very lame version of Mr Queen.

Well, I did not make up my mind about this series after seeing this article for sure. While we all understand that it's a fiction, and that for some reason the heros need to be from the country where the drama was made, we should still be able to recognize propaganda. This series demonizes SWANA citizens, portrays the Chinese as warmongerers when we know the tensions in the region were all caused by US intervention. And not only is North Korea not rightfully painted as a product of said interventionism with the cooperation of South Korean politicians, we are somewhat made to think that North Korea's to be upgraded to the level of South Korea? South Korea and Japans politics are directly imposed by the US, their ways of life don't benefit the working class, and they are used as military bases to constantly threaten the safety of the Chinese and North Koreans.
This doesn't mean I'm pro Chinese, and by the way, when we're pro Palestine and anti-imperialist in general, we should directly oppose their politics.
I honesly don't care for any of the actors who get chewed for this, not because I think they're responsible, but because celebrities should start understanding they don't live in a bubble and should learn a few things about the real world, they owe it to their fans.
Also .. America is the empire now, you can easily hate on it, doesn't mean you hate americans. And you can hate on the zionist colonial state (not just the government) without being accused of hating jews. In Tunisia, the Palestinian resistance coexisted with Tunisian jews for decades. We are an extremely antizionist country, and we are jewish-friendly, it can easily be done.
In any case, the people united will never be defeated, doesn't matter if it's the american emore or any other empire, we won't fall for propaganda and we shall stand together even in our leisure time.

Thanks for your objective and level-headed comment. My criticism is honestly just based on the fact that some countries keep demonizing resitance, and their media helps them. South Korea helped bomb Yemen for defending Palestine this year, and I'm wondering when will be the next drama painting Yemenis as the terrorists, the same way the SKorean gov did.
The same way we educate ourselves on the history and the scarrs other people carry, they should learn to do it too, and hold their entertainment industry accountable when they do propaganda.
And since you were so nice in the comment, I'll say this about myself: I'm an openly atheist person living in a majority muslim country. We live fine in this part of the world, if we don't get bombed I mean .. (my county, Tunisia, had witnessed two zionist drone attacks last couple of weeks for hosting the Global Sumud Flotilla)

Most of what I rate 1 are shows that normalize pedo, police brutality, racism, colonial violence and such horrors. Thanks for the shout out tho, never thought I'd get my moment of fame on this website lol. If you see this comment, try to check my safe to watch playlist everyone! Enjoy the fun <3

This person kreblabla) was trolling, they didn't like my comment and actually think everyone wants to move to mama meurica but somehow aren't worth it hahah

Countries don't share opinions dear .. my anti-imperialist "opinions" are share by the entire pro-Palestine movement, which is a growing movement, in most countries (except i5rael I gues haha)
So invasions are still bad, meurica is still bad, vassal nations like South Korea should wake up, and South Korean creators should stop doing propaganda.

True, disney being true to themselves. It's sad they're dragging non-western countries into this tho. It's as if Asians don't get the same hate as other Global South countries in whitesupremacist circles ..

lol yes visa is hard to get, it's a fucking colonial invention for a reason. but don't worry about me, I can manage to get my visas because I'm priviliged enough to be let through in the countries I don't like. Thanks for your interest in my well being. Visas are not the flex you think they are tho.

when you're taking to other netizens, be humble, chances are they're way more knowledgeable than you, in general because your education system is probably crappy, but especially in terms of western intervention. Now that you got the chance to interact with me as a citizen of the Global South, I'm happy to inform you that your "move to this or that place I only heard about in government controlled western media" won't work on me. I'd actually rather go to those places than move to meurica or europe.
My whole comment is about propaganda, and the first reply I got is from a total idiot who only ever consumed propaganda. I'd recommend some reading .. like Edward Said's Orientalism .. but you don't seem like a person who'd open a book.

The whole drama is a shit show lol like them trying to sell the peaceful South Korea who wants reunification (which most people in this world support) BUT they make it seem like they're saving North Koreans from their rulers, totally ignoring the fact that Meurica played a big role in the embargo, using South Korea and Japan on many occasions (and probably in the near future, when you see the news)
Also the fact that they acknowledge the the Iraq war was based on lies (which is true) but then mention bombs made by "terrorists" (so Iraqis? racism again? wasn't it a war built on lies?) that ML supposedly saw in his service for the AMERICAN INVADORS
The drama was either made by dumb people, or by people who are actively engaging propaganda, I'm leaning towards the latter, we'll see with the next episodes (only watching to make an informed decision, but I'm watching on a piracy streaming website and my conscience is clear)
In any case, I hope these producers realize that many many people watch the news now, and with the genocides in Congo, Palestine and Sudan, people won't take this crap anymore.

you need to wake up

I think creators reduce their own plots to nothingness when they pull racist tricks they saw in western productions.

yeah politics (racism in this case) shape our opinions and personalities, if you don't care, it says a lot about your character. you do you.
