Netizens felt pride after a Filipino swear sword was used in the Korean drama series ‘Queenmaker.’
In one scene, a masseuse tells another character, “putang ina” frustratingly before leaving.
So our *PI swear word was featured on the new #KDrama #Queenmaker. Hahaha! 🇵🇭🇰🇷 pic.twitter.com/vfReq0OkKs

“Putang ina” is a vulgar Tagalog slang word in the Philippines, used as an expletive or curse word. It is considered offensive and disrespectful, and it is not appropriate unless talking to friends.

The drama ‘Queenmaker’ follows the story of Hwang Do-Hee, who serves as a top manager for the strategic planning team at Eunsung Group. She excels at managing public opinion and handling sensitive cases for the company, earning her superiors’ trust.
However, her life takes a new turn when she joins the mayoral campaign of human rights lawyer Oh Kyung-Sook, who opposes the Eunsung Group. Oh Kyung-Sook runs for mayor to fight for the underprivileged.
Despite differing opinions, Hwang Do-Hee and Oh Kyung-Sook work together toward securing Oh Kyung-Sook’s election as the mayor of Seoul. Despite their conflicting views, they strive towards the same objective.
