Low ratings for Longing for You

And, by the way, do not pay any attention to the low ratings for the drama on IMDB or Viki.

Those ratings are ridiculously and incorrectly low due to a group of Arab trolls rating the drama a 1 out of 10 because they are “offended” about one scene where a character dressed up as an Arab.

The drama is excellent and not only deserves a much higher rating, but also an even higher audience.

It also deserves a smarter audience.
