10 funny tweets that show what people don’t like about Khaleeji drama

There is no doubt that Khaleeji TV drama has made enormous strides towards success in recent years, but despite that, some viewers are still not convinced and they made sure to voice their opinions on social media.

Here are 10 funny tweets that show what the audience doesn’t like about watching the Khaleeji dramas on TV during Ramadan:

This guy is not impressed with the dramatic scenes in the Kuwaiti series "Joud":

“The same old scene from 20 years ago: she slaps her, then sad music, and then she hugs the wall… We are really bored of this!”

This comment criticized the storyline of most Khaleeji dramas that tend to be sad and depressing:

“Khaleeji series became very irritating, they never aim at putting a smile on our faces… we have enough drama already… we watch TV to feel entertained.”

While others complained about the repeated plots and boring scenes:

“We wish they could change the repeated events and plots, we can already predict what is going to happen next.”

Despite the huge progress the Khaleeji drama achieved in recent years, there are still a few recurring mistakes that the viewers don’t seem to forgive, such as the exaggeration in crying, shouting and over-acting:

“Khaleeji series: more shouting, wailing and irritation… they deserve an Oscar for successfully irritating us.”

Hardly ever we see a Khaleeji actress without full makeup on, regardless of the scene or situation, which prompted this tweet:

“Why should actresses have makeup on before crying? It is OK to cry without makeup”

Some think that the dialogue in a couple of Khaleeji shows is so weak and shallow that it sounds like this:

“- wife: Khaled, I want a divorce!

- Husband: ok, you are divorced.

- Wife: I am divorced?! Why did you divorce me Khaled?! *starts crying*”

Some viewers see that Khaleeji series don’t reflect the reality of Khaleeji society:

“Khaleeji dramas are all about fancy clothes, heavy makeup, huge villas, expensive furniture and cars, while the stories can’t be further away from reality.”

This viewer found a new purpose for GCC drama

“Khaleeji series… are excellent advertisers of new car models!”

Eagle eye viewers sported this suspicious trend in these show:

“Only in Khaleeji series: when an actor is sad, his beard grows in a suspiciously fast way… I don’t know if the cause is sadness or good fertilizers!”

Some of the most enduring lines in Khaleeji shows include: “this marriage cannot happen” and “I will disinherit you”… but the most beloved cliché line has got to be: “who is knocking on our door at this hour?!”

“Only in Khaleeji series… When the door bell rings people say: who is visiting us at this hour? Whether it is morning, noon, afternoon, evening or night! When are people supposed to visit then?”
