radare2 - radare2 doesn't display string value

Question

I have some rare cases with radare2.

when I try to display all string using "iz" it does the job.

but when I do "pdf" or "pd" I can't see actual value of string:

I see int puts(const char *s) instead of "incorrect password" or "Access granted!"

This is not a bug in radare2. The comment that you see in red is merely the imported function prototype. In both cases seen in the picture, the parameter to puts is pushed through eax whereas it is loaded from a memory location based on ebx. radare2 does not emulate the code [unless told], so it cannot display the actual string being pointed.
