aight ok now that i've watched ep 7 i see some folks are review bombing KTL on MDL bc of the Arab prince storyline,,,,,, what are our thoughts

#tv: king the land #king the land #lee junho #junho 2pm #im yoona #girls generation yoona #yoona snsd #anupam tripathi #kdrama #local gay watches KTL (and gets diabetes in the process).txt #local gay watches k-dramas.txt #as someone who is not Arab but who is currently in an interesting relationship with religion in general (and is incorporating #multiple practices into my daily life by extension/exploring/dabbling in Islam): is it a stereotype? kind of. #but people writing sh*t like 'this is an offense against Saudi Arabia and MBS' etc etc need to calm the f*ck down #first off MBS is a literal murderer and the Saudi government perpetuates human rights abuses but we're not going there today #the prince is not from SA i think someone said he's from the UAE. Dubai to be more specific + Islam wasn't even mentioned at all #and pls. pls don't get me started with the whole #'princes don't go to clubs'. do you know how many clubs there are in Dubai. do you know how many members of the Gulf royal families #have been caught up in drug scandals and affairs and sh*t. the worse person you could hold up as a supposed standard #for Islamic values and then get mad when people point that out are these folks #he's not even getting drunk in public. he's not even drunk at all ffs he's technically abiding by the decorum #that one would have to have if they were drinking in Dubai so as not to get picked up by the authorities. #and yes i treat SA and the entirety of Europe the same when it comes to the history of abuse and religious extremism #all while claiming to hold up a higher standard. there is hypocrisy in every religious community and they are not excluded #anyway i brought this specific ep up with a friend (Arab Muslim) and they said that the vibe they got from this was Samir and Won #studied together in the UK (obviously) and now he's in Korea and basically having the time of his life teasing Won #but in the end they're meant to reflect each other. he's a more spoiled richer version of Won basically sksksksk #ofc people are getting up in arms bc stereotypes and sh*t and i'm not about to tell you how to feel about it #but don't go spreading misinformation #idk maybe by the end of this feature they'll be best friends. i really hope they will they have such a good frenemy thing going on rn
