The show leans heavily into social reform messaging, using the story to promote progressive ideas rather than focusing purely on organic character development. While this may inspire, it tends to minimize complexity in favor of ideology, especially in the portrayal of the young female lead's saint-like qualities and forced representation of 'modern' ideas in a historical setting.

Traditional family, religious, and cultural norms are often critiqued or portrayed as barriers, with the show spotlighting the supposed backwardness of earlier eras. Masculinity is frequently depicted as oppressive, while the female protagonist is consistently framed as morally superior and enlightened beyond her time.

Most traditional perspectives are painted as ignorant or villainous, with little serious exploration. There’s scant challenge to the dominant reformist worldview; those holding alternative views are often reduced to caricatures, making the show feel ideologically one-sided.
