Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The story focuses on personal growth and romance without shoehorning modern ideological identity politics. Characters are driven by unique personalities, and while the show has a female lead with ambitions, her competence is grounded in hard work, not narrative favoritism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family, career pressure, and culinary heritage are respected. Gender roles are explored but not aggressively subverted, and cultural values are treated sincerely rather than mocked.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The series does not overtly villainize traditional values or suppress pluralism. It features some modern ideas but focuses on interpersonal dynamics rather than enforcing an ideological worldview.
