Unbiased review

As a person who's from the global south, raised in a arabic speaking and muslim majority country, this show offended me for reasons that are in no way related to the misrepresatation of Arabs. Comedy is a hyperbole, and after all, unlike any other ethnicity middle-easterns were at least able to pressure/buy an apology. I don't think the countless times Africans were misrepresented and insulted by the Asian industry have ever been addressed by a TV network or a production team before. That's privilege.
The plot would've actually worked if not of the twisted fan servicing the industry keeps engaging in. I even liked how the actors dealt with this poor script.
Now to the actual problems : Why the heck is this show telling us that husbands are expected to cheat, if they don't they should be celebrated, if they do they should be forgiven? Why is the mistreatment of women forgiven and even rewarded? Why are age-gap relationships, sexual assaults and incest the jole here?? I disappointed in the actors who accepted these roles. Why is it normal for in-laws to mistrat a wife, for people to mistreat orphans? Why are they forgiven and rewarded in this drama?
It's giving way too much green light to many many toxic and borderline crimanl behaviors.
What I'm amazed by is how people were offended by the far-fetched comedy regarding a rich conservative country, who nobody believes is true, and not by the actual offensive things that actually happen in reality to women, which is tolerated in the drama.
