Cho Min Soo and Cho Tae Kwan (DOTS’ Daniel Spencer, yes, the Mr. Fixit guy) in a drama together! This is a gift from the gods I will cherish. I don’t even care if the drama is bad. The visuals will be great!
July 2nd, 2017 at 8:54 pm
I’m looking forward to this.
July 14th, 2017 at 8:09 pm
I think this drama has only 24 episodes x 30 minutes.
July 19th, 2017 at 11:45 pm
Coolbeans, yes! Choi Min Soo is such a good actor…and that voice melts. Cho Tae Kwan did and great job in DotS and is easy on the eyes.
I am looking forward to them in a comedy.
July 20th, 2017 at 8:53 pm
When first i read the synopsis i’m bit worried how him will show to other as saeed faad ali. Ok pass. Whatever their religion is they name is like that. But the female in episode one wear full shawl not showing their hair but wear split skirt is really not suitable. Is it non muslim? If non muslim please open your shawl. Other will confius about this. Muslim people is not like that. Peace. Sorry for my bad in english.
July 21st, 2017 at 4:22 am
Hi; I like korean drama the most and I respect your ways in presenting your culture .. but in this drama you reflect Muslims in specific.. and Arab in general in so bad and far way… which means that you really don’t know them in reality … I hope you learn more about other cultures before you produce any drama about them in the future… regards
July 21st, 2017 at 5:59 pm
I have heard that Korea has the fastest Internet
1 hour or less enough to see the culture and religion of the Arabs
I’m not angry but in fact this made me sad cuz some people will believe this shit Before you start working you had to search more. We are not like that. You never show the truth. Stop these lies pls
July 21st, 2017 at 8:30 pm
@K lover. Do you mean that people would watch this and think that some Arabs are oil-rich? I don’t understand your grievance. It’s not like these dramas reflect the real Korean culture either. These are not documentaries.
July 21st, 2017 at 8:45 pm
The Muslim commenters complaining their culture is misrepresented in this drama. I have to agree. But the misrepresentation isn’t in a bad way surely.
There are no jihadists shown cutting off the body parts of non-Muslims. Nor did we see gays tossed off roofs or an adulterer being stoned. All actual “sharia” forms of punishment.
Perhaps if such things were shown there might not have been any complaints from our Muslim commenters.
July 21st, 2017 at 9:21 pm
Don’t use islam for your drama.i love korean drama.but if u don’t know anything.don’t use islam.
July 22nd, 2017 at 12:58 am
Please MBC..even this drama based on fiction but please can u crosscek and double crosscek about other religion can u more respect about islam and muslim..dissapointed with this drama
July 22nd, 2017 at 2:18 am
De toute façon des que l’on parle de cette religion certain crient au scandale…..réveillez vous bordel vous êtes pas le centre du monde…un peu d’humour c’est ça qu’il vous manque. par contre si ça avait parler de christianisme ou autre là vous n’aurez rien dit alors sérieux ferlez là.
July 22nd, 2017 at 3:28 am
@123choubidou Totally agree with you. Anyway, Islam didn’t feature in the drama. What was presented of the religion was brief and incidental like a street fixture. To my recollection, the words Islam and Muslim were not even mentioned, just a shot of people with their butts in the air muttering “Our god is greater than your god” in Arabic (the correct translation not the literal translation)
Like you said if it was about Christianity nothing would have been said. Christians tend to be more mature.
I agree with @Mi Poong. Had the drama shown a woman being stoned and a gay or two being thrown off a roof it’d be a more accurate representation of the religion and culture. No complaints probably, but who knows.
July 22nd, 2017 at 1:49 pm
I hope all muslim in the world will never see the actrs in this drama ever again.this drama is so fu$%&
July 22nd, 2017 at 1:53 pm

#buycott this drama 😠
July 23rd, 2017 at 12:35 am
i really love Korean drama but i’m now disappointed >.<
I've been to Dubai many times before, the Arabic culture isn't related to what this drama is talking about.
I don't think that would be funny .. if anyone do the same with your culture.
July 23rd, 2017 at 1:06 am
This garbage Show must be removed…this is SHAME for Korea… #mwdtlmustberemoved
July 23rd, 2017 at 2:55 am

July 23rd, 2017 at 8:24 am
It’s not funny when u people mocking to muslim religion like this… Now i see that MBC is soo stupid and not sensitive at all… This drama should be banned… Drama Sampah!!!
July 23rd, 2017 at 11:15 am
I’m moslem…
And i’m moslem…
I have not watched this drama yet…
But, i read the news…
I ‘m very disappointed…
Please STOP THIS DRAMA…
July 23rd, 2017 at 4:15 pm
Mokoduk, you are really ignorant.. you can see clearly in the poster, the “book” in front of Choi Minsoo is resembling Quran… Have you ever enter masjid wearing shoes? Have you ever see muslim woman wearing hijab with bikini?? You know what, not only muslim community around the world get mad about this drama, but Korean Muslim in South Korea also get mad because of this matter.. Thanks to them, they viral about this drama wrongdoing on SNS..
July 23rd, 2017 at 6:55 pm
I know that all the matters about the Muslims and the arabs in this drama is NOT TRUE. Maybe the director and the writer of this drama hate muslims thats why they make this kind of drama.
Sorry But i really hate this drama. Spreading false information and disgracing religion.
July 23rd, 2017 at 11:09 pm
If Mbc does not remove this garbage drama, we will never watch the DRAMAS OF MBC from now on…
July 24th, 2017 at 5:48 am
I think muslim people are upset about the part the ladies are wearing bikini on the body and a veil on the head so the think its insulting veiled women in rl i think there is only one muslim charecter the assistant and he is not negative please give it a chance
July 24th, 2017 at 6:04 am
fucking dumb koreans please stop airing this drama
July 24th, 2017 at 11:12 am
Please respect Muslim religion. So disappointed
July 24th, 2017 at 11:45 am
I’m boycott this Drama
July 24th, 2017 at 12:30 pm
hi. im sure korean drama has many fans from moslem country. please respect them, this drama doesnt represent moslem culture, in fact your description is more to humiliating. for my self, Im not gonna watch drama from MBC in the future, but it doesnt matter to you right? hehe.. please do some respect, at least make an apologized in public. thank you
July 24th, 2017 at 2:10 pm
Out of all the problems in the world, why South Korea MBC choose to ‘criticise’ the Muslims deviant social and political life in one country instead of putting more weight of thought on the Western military offense in some other Muslims countries. After all, you just need to ask, does South Korea’s image as the most progressive nation at the moment worth demonizing some Muslims?
July 24th, 2017 at 8:39 pm
Boycott MBC
July 24th, 2017 at 11:38 pm
I won’t watch it.. ini jelas-jelas penistaan agama..
July 25th, 2017 at 5:42 pm
im moslem, and ok fine if most of you, or non moslem said it is fiction and all the moslem are immature and too sensitive about the veil and the woman on scren, but please, check on 3th or 4th episode, when the assistant act like he is pray in mosque, its mean his caracter as moslem, but then he just go in the middle of pray, it really insulting moslem and our relegion. moslem isnt like that.
July 26th, 2017 at 12:10 pm
This is a comedy. It is making fun of everyone including Koreans and the West. It’s time to understand that being offended means turn the channel. No one doesn’t know that the hijab isn’t worn by women who show the rest of themselves. NO one thinks this is a serious depiction of an Islamic lifestyle or anything else. It’s a comedy.
Whine away if you want, but it is important to learn to laugh at yourselves.
Personally, I think it is hilarious.
July 26th, 2017 at 2:11 pm
I see the point of those who will boycott this show. They don’t poke fun at their religion and anyone who does is seen as being disrespectful. That’s the belief in their culture. The creators of this drama have different beliefs and may live in a different culture where poking fun at religion, all kinds of religion, is considered part of comedy. This type of comedy is acceptable in S. Korea and many other nations that allow freedom of speech. That is the freedom to express one’s ideas without fear of persecution even if those ideas conflict with the beliefs of another person or group. The expression can be in the form of jokes, advertising, films, tv shows, art, news articles, books, plays and many other forms. The best option for those who are offended is to turn it off, ignore it, boycott and send letter/emails to MBC expressing displeasure. The world is too large. Korean entertainment executives can’t dictate what happens on television in Muslim countries. Those in Muslim countries can’t dictate the subject matter, costumes or storyline for a drama made on the other side of the world. Muslims in Korea have the same options. They can even picket the station because they have freedom of speech which allows them to do so. Those who continue to watch will not believe this is how Muslims behave because this is clearly a comedy and not a documentary.

Make the North great again
July 27th, 2017 at 2:56 pm
Oh, korean (I mean people behind the TV production), i dont know how you build a story of kdrama. well, it’s not the 1st time they make mistake, they create story without survey. in drama “Whisper”, they called “Sabah City” (a city in Malaysia) is an Indonesia city, and now they represented a hijab women using Bikini, in the middle east? WHATT??? okay, maybe they didn’t mean to do that (probably), but come on, i think its a general culture… Midlle East, there is Mosque in the poster (check it out), and woman wearing hijab + Bikini, WTF, are you fool???? I’m not from Malaysia, but i think Sabah is quite famous city in Asia, and they think it’s on Indonesia. They never learn how to read Asian Maps i guess. Woman in Hijab wear Bikini, in the Middle east. okay, i think they never know what’s muslim look like before.
July 27th, 2017 at 3:34 pm
the stupidity.. boycott MBC
July 27th, 2017 at 7:58 pm
I think MBC network producers don t see mouslme people in their life at all because they live another planet not to earth😂😂😂😂foolish producres😠😠😠😠.what do you mean by this fool thing????l m sorry for you to insult moslem viewers 😟😟😟viewer who are intresting in korean series!!!???
July 27th, 2017 at 8:38 pm
@Alis; If you’re offended don’t watch the show. A character wearing shoes just inside a Mosque should be regarded in the context of the drama. The drama presents him as a belligerent individual. It’s not a political statement. Okay. How hard is that to understand
But if you as a Muslim are going to play the religious vilification card, look to your Quran and the actions of your brethren. Urinating and defecating on Hindu religious icons. The destruction of Christian churches and religious icons. And the Quran exhorting adherents to fight the unbelievers including Jews and Christians till they agree to pay the extortion fee and feel themselves humiliated — (surah 9.29).
Those are not fictional.
How is it you find the time to critique an anodyne mention of your religion in a fictional drama? Shouldn’t you rally your fellow Muslims together and see how you can stop another Manchester bombing incident. Or do you think nails, nuts and screws tearing into young flesh is perfectly acceptable?
July 27th, 2017 at 11:25 pm
At the start of episode 5, MBC makes an apology to the offended saying the drama did not intend to offend and that the story is fictional set in an imaginary country named Bodoantia.
Now to be fair, I should like Muslims to remove the verses that misrepresent and demonise non-Muslims from the Quran. Verses like surah-8:55 which calls us non-Muslims “the vilest of animals”. And in Bukhari-54:524 it says that Muhammad believed rats to be “mutated Jews”. Then the Quran tells Muslims to be compassionate with one another but ruthless to us non-Muslims (infidels).
The list goes on and on of hateful mischaracterizations of non-Muslims. It’s time we demand of them just as they demand from us.
July 28th, 2017 at 11:22 am
@Life on Mars Says & Mokoduk, you’ve said it well.
July 28th, 2017 at 7:14 pm
Life on Mars,
You quoted the translation from Surah8, verse 55 without reading the whole translation of the surah, and yet you dare to criticize. I beg you to read the whole translation of the surah. The ‘non-muslims’ in that verse refers to the people of the pharaoh who made promises to the muslims and then betrayed the muslims. If the Quran had really called non-muslims as “the vilest of animals”, do you think there will be many non-muslims reverting to Islam?
Please, don’t just pluck a translation here and there and assume the meaning.
You also quoted Hadith Bukhari from Book 54, hadith number 524. I hope you know that there thousands of fake hadiths created to misrepresent and distort Islam.
From what I read in comments above, non of the muslim commenters attack or vilify other religions and yet you dare to use this forum to criticize our religion that you obviously hate out of your misunderstanding of Islam.
July 28th, 2017 at 9:16 pm
@KDnewfan “the people of the pharaoh who made promises to the muslims”
Oh . . LIES! LIES! LIES! The last pharoah died 652 years before Muhammad was chased out of Mecca. You lying lump of camel dung.
And the typical “weak hadith” won’t do it either. There are no “fake hadiths”. It is a hadith or it is not. There are weak hadiths and untrusted hadiths. I cited from the most authoritative in Sunni Islam. Sunnis comprise 90% of the world’s Muslim population.
The word “sahih” marks a hadith as trusted. Sunnis regard these six hadiths; Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood, Sunan Nasai and Jamí Tirmizi as the most authoritative.
You probably know that but decided to spin your lies anyway.
Here is the full Surah 8:55 (and note there is no mention of a pharoah) “Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve, then they would not believe.” — (translation by Shakir). From Islam’s perspective, those who “disbelieve” are the non-Muslims.
Most of the Quran’s contents is not about God but is about us non-Muslims and it’s all hate-filled. So, I wish dramas and movies would correctly present Islam as the doctrine of hatred of those who don’t share with Muslims their Islamic beliefs.
July 31st, 2017 at 11:44 pm
a hijab women using Bikini??? hmm, that’s ridiculous, the drama’s creator team may have watching some american s*x video for reference to make this drama. lmfao
August 1st, 2017 at 1:01 am
Dear All my brothers and sisters.
It better we pray and help our Muslim brothers and sisters, Baby and Kids in Palestine from commenting about this Useless drama.
They need our help…
August 2nd, 2017 at 7:29 am
Hi everyone !
All the comments from above doesn’t have anything to do with this movie.
1)I suggest watch the movie because is funny and hilarious,looks like you guys have not watched any episodes.
2)Sue and the rest like you ….or me, open your eyes because in this world all we have left is one of the funny movie to make you laugh.
3)I recommend this movie to everyone .ENJOY BECAUSE IS BEAUTIFUL AND LAUGH WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.
August 4th, 2017 at 1:26 pm
Leaving notes to MBC in these comments is live leaving a personal to an idol crush…totally wasted! Better to send a letter and email directly to MBC and their advertisers that affect their income.
This comedy is not some Earth shattering work that will change the perception in ANYONE’s mind about muslims. Those images is all over the news and it is not positive. Killings, stonings, acid on young girls, sexism and suicide bombings are the images that are spread worldwide. So, it appears hypocritical to see people alarmed about this and going to great lengths when very few come out when violence in the name of a higher power is dealt on muslem family members and community members by muslims! That is why it is difficult for me, a non muslim, to take part in it.
More efforts should be made to change reality than to squash fiction in a Korean comedy.
August 6th, 2017 at 7:09 am
Some of you guys say that you watch this drama just for fun but as time passes and episodes go on you will believe that Islam is like how this drama shows .Everyday many people are killed to protect this religion but this drama distort Islam very easily .we should respect for every religion as we consider ourselves civilized .
August 6th, 2017 at 2:12 pm
I don’t know why this drama still airing. In indonesia, we have a lot of religion and we respect each other. Islam was not like that, most of people who learn truly islam will fall in love with islam. I believe it. Islam is wonderful.
August 9th, 2017 at 5:01 am
@niki “Everyday many people are killed to protect this religion . . .”
Am I to understand what you’re saying is “to protect this religion”, people are killed? Are you talking about those punished for apostasy and blasphemy in your theocratic society?
My thoughts on that; Islamic culture exists under a theocracy which is authoritarian. It doesn’t allow the individual freedom of expression or freedom of conscience and equality under the law irrespective of gender, creed and ethnicity. And so to keep the whole thing together, dissenters are killed under the pretext of blasphemy and apostasy.
You know I’m right.
All the above and especially “free speech” exposes and liberates a society of bad ideas thereby avoiding violent revolution. Plenty of evidence to support that claim. Look at Venezuela.
You say “this drama distort Islam”. I don’t know about that. It might distort the idea of Islamic culture, but people are intelligent enough to know that they should take their information about a place and people from authoritative sources rather than entertainment media.
And Islam is the Quran, Sira and Hadith, not the people. The drama may have distorted the culture (albeit comical and fictional), but it definitely DID NOT distort the Quran, Sira or Hadith.
August 14th, 2017 at 8:39 pm
ENG SUBS PLEASE :/ 🙁
August 19th, 2017 at 12:27 am
How long will the civilized world be held hostage to a group of people who kill those who disagree with them? How long? I want English subtitles. The rest of us just roll our eyes and move on at the stereotypes. Some could be considered offensive if one has nothing else to do but get offended.
Do you Muslims who seem to view the Koreans as your pets really, truly believe that Secret Garden is based on real life?
August 22nd, 2017 at 10:35 pm
nice
August 28th, 2017 at 11:23 pm
Hi, i don’t think drama is about islamic culture,
but it’s about the lifestyle of richman who are having a oildfield in middle east,
A hijab woman wearing a bikini, do you know that almost every woman there is wearing a hijab? not only moslim, even non moslim also wearing a hijab there.
It is not about the religion, it’s only about a rich man’s lifestyle in middle east.
For example, if there any movie about a rich man in USA, is that about the christian culture as well?
Or about richman in Malaysia, is that about the islamic culture as well?
Or the movie about a richman in India, is it about hindus culture?
August 28th, 2017 at 11:43 pm
Hi, i don’t think this drama is descripting about the islamic culture,
but it’s only about the lifestyle of richman who are having a oildfield in middle east,
A hijab woman wearing a bikini, do you know that almost every woman there is wearing a hijab? not only moslim, even non moslim also wearing a hijab there.
From what i know, hijab is common outfit in Arab, even christian woman is wearing hijab there, hijab is not islamic outfit there.
It is not about the religion, it’s only about a rich man’s lifestyle in middle east.
For example,
if there any movie about a rich man in USA, is that movie descripting about the christian culture as well? Because mostly people in USA is Chirstian.
Or about richman in Malaysia, is that about the islamic culture as well? Beacuse mostly people in Malaysia is moslem
Or the movie about a richman in India, is it descripting a hindus culture? Because mostly people in India is Hindu

It is incredible that Muslims feel offended all the time that are mentionated in dramas but don`t say nothing when other religions are. It is time to let people be free in opinions and likes, If you are offended with this drama, don`t watch it but let me choose what a want to watch.
August 30th, 2017 at 11:21 am
i plan to watch this drama…but now i decide not to..the producer & everyone involved so ignorant…Muslims feel offended because they are not like that…could you be happy if others say bad thing about your religion…can’t believes human nowadays…
September 29th, 2017 at 6:00 pm
This show is funny — I am enjoying it.
Choi Min So is doing a great job, so out of character for him, something very different for him to try.
Same for Shin Sun Rok — his character if funny…he tried to tell Jang Dal Goo
that he had the wrong girl, then that he wasn’t his son-in-law when he thought his “girlfriend,” was the real daughter, but Dal Goo would not listen to him. Dal Goo layed his eyes on the “girlfriend,” and he didn’t want to hear anything else.
Lee So-Yeon looks pretty with short hair. I have only seen in dramas with long hair. The short hair goes with the personality of a modern woman that she is playing.

Loved this drama. Had good humor and Choi Min Soo was really out of character compared to most of the roles he has done. He did a great job. I enjoyed the whole cast. All the actors did a great job. Funny and a lite plot, nothing serious or any killings.
