When the 7th and 8th episodes of this drama were released, viewers criticised “King the land” for not respecting the arab culture, which is absolutely right After that, the production team stated “The characters, regions, place names, etc. appearing in the drama are fictitious settings, and there was no intention to satirize or distort a specific culture. The production team respects various cultures and will pay more attention to production so that there is no discomfort in viewing.” My perspective: If you’re going to portray a person from another country or another culture you should at leas make a research about that culture to see if it’s okay according to their standards and beliefs. I mean that character didn’t even speak arabic lim youna was the only one who spoke in arabic also you represented the “Arab prince” as a womaniser and a drinker and a person who attends night clubs (which is something against their religion) that’s ridiculous and all of this was so unnecessary like this is a fictional romantic comedy and if you want to represent a person from another culture either do a research about that culture or represent it from a fictional land because what you did is really unprofessional #kingthelandOffendsTheArabs #JTBCapologize
