Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show mostly prioritizes quirky storytelling and supernatural elements over identity politics. While some modern tropes are present, character depth is emphasized more than diversity quotas or overt ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

'Behind Your Touch' embraces traditional K-drama values, with strong emphasis on family, personal duty, and even hints of faith. Masculinity and femininity are portrayed in balanced, relatable ways. It sticks close to Korean cultural norms without trying to radically revise or subvert them.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The series doesn't overtly mock or villainize traditional perspectives. Alternative worldviews aren't really the focus, but when they're present, they're treated more playfully than with heavy-handed messaging. There's more pluralism here than in typical Western mainstream fare.
