Good plot and storyline but the whole Africa thing was annoying, irritating and offensive

Honestly speaking this drama has alot of actors i like and i was excited to watch it when i saw some clips on YouTube. The chemistry between the 2 leads seems good and i love the overall idea for this series BUT that does not give them the right to show such stuff about Africa. They potrayed Africa as if it was a country and i felt like they were basically saying "This place is poor with no water or food" like where did they even get the idea that Africa does not have water. There are about 54 countries in Africa which one were they showing? AFRICA IS A CONTINENT NOT A COUNTY. Yes, there are some parts in Africa that have poor people but the way they showed that scene in the drama they are basically calling the whole of Africa poor and dont get me started on the song they chose to play while showing that scene. They even had the AUDACITY to show animals like what do they think we live with wild animals and have no clean water and no food!??!? Like who the fuck sat down watched this scene and was like "Yes this will definitely not offend anyone" or "This is the perfect scene" no like wth. If they wanted the male lead to go volunteer overseas they could have simply said "He went abroad to do volunteer work". The whole Africa scene was completely unnecessary and it was irritating. People its 2022 and i still cant believe people think that Africa is a country and not a continent and that we're waterless with no food and that we live with wild animals. People make it seem as if Africa is the only place where you'll find poor people what about other countries?!?!?! Honestly i was offended and at disbelief when i saw that scene. As a south african ( South Africa is a country in Africa) this made me mad and offended and i immediately dropped this drama. I saw the funny scene that i wanted to see in episode 2 but i could barely make it through episode 1 because they kept on mentioning Africa and so on. I'll definitely never watch this drama ever again and i dont reccommend it. For those who think im overacting im not. They potrayed Africa as this horrible bad place when most countries in Africa are so beautiful. I cant deal with the "Africa has no water" trope anymore. For those who will continue watching this drama enjoy it ig.
