I often check IMDb scores for Korean dramas, so I got curious about this drama’s rating and went to look.
-But honestly, I kinda expected this since the teaser was up. Especially since people these days are very sensitive about cultural appropriation.
-From Muslims' perspectives, they could reasonably feel offended.
-People were talking about this before the drama even aired.
-The drama really does look like it was made without much thought.
-Isn't this legitimate criticism rather than just being 'offended'?
-The drama really does look like it lacks consideration/respect for other cultures and religions.
-They certainly have every rights to feel offended...
-I knew this would happen.
-I get it, though. Can't the drama accept even this level of criticism?
-The drama is using Middle East as their background and even using religious terminology. So they have every rights to feel offended, don't they? If a Western series treated 'Grandmother Samsin' (NB: Goddess in Korean mythology) in an insulting way, I would be upset too.
-I can completely understand. Things can become sensitive once religious concepts are involved.
-There clearly was a lack of respect towards that religion, regardless of whether I personally liked the drama or not.
-Calling Muslims 'being offended' just doesn't sound right to me...
-It's not just 'being offended,' it's legitimate criticism. You calling it 'being offended' already shows that you have no respect for other cultures and religion.
