The South Korean drama Man Who Dies to Live has been criticised by some Muslim fans.
The TV show, which is broadcast on the MBC channel, is about a Korean count who lives in a fictional place called Bodoantia, and finds out he has a daughter 35 years later, so he goes on a mission to find her and reconnect.

And several minutes later, he is escorted to the king of Bodoantia, who orders him to marry a princess.
And he tells him he must marry the princess within a month.
The fictional place appears to be in Dubai.
Viewers have called the drama Islamophobic and racist.
People have called for a boycott.
