Iblees, Lucifer, or Satan—whatever name one may use—is the sworn enemy of humankind in all three Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Portraying him as lovable, funny, or sympathetic is a distortion of his true essence. He was the one who defied God out of arrogance and despair, vowing to lead humanity astray until the end of time. Yet, in this series, Satan is astonishingly depicted as the hero, while the angel Azrael—the angel of death, or “Grim Reaper” as non-Abrahamic cultures might call him—is cast as the villain. This complete role reversal stands in stark contradiction to what the Qur’an and the Bible both affirm. The writer seems to have attempted a cultural fusion—merging Middle Eastern religious motifs with old Korean folklore—to add flavor to the fantasy genre. However, that blend backfires. Abrahamic beliefs are rooted in divine revelation and certainty, while non-Semitic mythologies often draw from flexible legends and symbolic storytelling. Mixing the two without understanding their spiritual weight leads to confusion rather than creativity. The story could have been far more impactful had it portrayed Iblees as he truly is: the deceiver who drives humanity into wars, chaos, and moral decay—responsible for countless destructions in this world and the damnation of souls in the hereafter. That is his real purpose, and that is where the true power of the story could have been.

What can I say after watching this... Kesari Veer might just be the worst film to come out of Bollywood in recent years—and that's saying something. It’s not just a bad film; it’s a politically loaded, ideologically twisted piece of propaganda that insults the viewer’s intelligence while shamelessly pushing a Hindutva agenda. From the very start, it’s unclear what the makers are even trying to do. The narrative is incoherent, the characters are caricatures, and the entire plot serves as a thinly veiled attempt to demonize a particular community while glorifying a falsified, fantastical version of history. Bollywood has been peddling this kind of content for years now—stories wrapped in saffron-colored nationalism, devoid of nuance, originality, or respect for historical truth. The climax is a grotesque spectacle. Hamirji, the protagonist, is beheaded by the Muslim general Zafar—and yet, in the next scene, his headless body goes on to slay over 30 Muslim soldiers and even hurls a sword like a javelin to kill Zafar. That’s right: a decapitated man turns into a one-man army. It's not bravery. It’s a parody. And the line between patriotism and outright absurdity completely vanishes. At that point, I didn’t know whether to laugh, feel patriotic, or mourn the sheer disrespect shown to real-life martyrs who fought and died with genuine courage. This isn’t tribute—this is fantasy fanfiction dressed up as national pride, and it's dangerous. What’s worse is that this kind of cinema actively belittles and alienates communities, fueling a divisive rhetoric under the guise of "glorifying culture." But instead of elevating Sanatana Dharma or Indian heritage, it turns both into global laughingstocks through these cartoonish, fascist fantasies. Kesari Veer isn’t a movie. It’s a warning sign—of what happens when art is hijacked by ideology and used not to inspire, but to distort and divide.

Worth the time!!! It Will make you ride back to the good old days. In addition to 90's era nostalgia, the movie will give vibes similar to the 2018 movie 96.

The only kdrama which I regret to watch as it wasted my time. I only watched all the episodes coz of Park Shin Hye, beyond that it is merely a waste.

I recommend this drama to audiences of every age and background. You will experience a roller coaster of emotions with a heartfelt ride of the current youth span. It enables me to cherish the moments which I've lost during my university years. An amazing piece of work with a profundity of coming of age life, but, Most importantly, it signifies the contrast between true friends and snakes apparently as it is in reality.

Starting with the first episode I am sure that it will make you add up to your list. The plot pattern is based on realistic aspects that can relate to the lives of the rental accommodated audiences. As far as the lead character development is concerned, I am totally impressed and all seem natural.
