In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Chuno is a breath of fresh air in today’s entertainment landscape, focused on traditional storytelling, historical integrity, and rich characters, with minimal to zero “woke” elements forced into the narrative.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Chuno maintains a strong, character-driven narrative without shoehorning in identity-based themes. Characters are defined by their circumstances, choices, and relationships, not modern identity politics. Forced representation and flawless diverse leads are absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Set in Joseon-era Korea, Chuno largely respects traditional values, highlighting family, loyalty, and societal hierarchy. Masculinity and traditional gender roles are not undermined, and historical context feels authentic rather than reworked to suit current sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Chuno avoids modern ideological groupthink, instead portraying a range of perspectives from different backgrounds and social classes. There’s no heavy-handed ridicule of alternatives or relentless pushing of a single viewpoint.
