What Africa are they talking about??
To preface this, I am Malawian and have been living here my whole life. Ive also visited and schooled in several different African countries.
When watching this drama, i admittedly laughed a little at the scenes 'in Africa'. But i didnt laugh because it was genuinely comedic, i laughed because they were borderline ignorant and, imo, rude. We have water in Africa. We have beautiful homes. We have CIVILISATION. We also have 54 freaking countries in Africa, it is a continent not a country. Yes there are poor countries here in need of help, but there are poor countries that need help in Asia too. The portrayal of Africa in this show is not only erroneous but uneducated and frankly quite supremist (that is, painting Korea as superior to the continent as a whole).
I loved the drama, but it couldve done without the ridiculous scenes.
Also, what the heck was up with the Lion King theme song? Now i know y'all are NOT fr.
