What We Think

Seoul Station is refreshingly non-woke for a modern international film. It focuses more on suspense and gritty realism than on ideological signaling, keeping the social commentary grounded rather than preachy.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Seoul Station primarily tells a straightforward zombie thriller with a gritty lens on social inequality. Character identity is rooted in plausible backgrounds rather than forced representation, and narrative choices don’t seem dictated by identity politics. No Mary Sue syndrome in sight – the characters are clearly flawed and human.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film does critique societal neglect and the breakdown of traditional support structures, but doesn’t directly attack traditional values, masculinity, or family. Its commentary feels more like general social criticism than a targeted revision of cultural norms. Nothing especially subversive or revisionist here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Social critique is present, especially regarding class disparity, but traditional views aren’t mocked or villainized in any cartoonish way. Alternative viewpoints aren’t front and center, but neither are they caricatured. It’s more about survival and social decay than ideological messaging.
