Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Encounter focuses on romance rooted in genuine character development, not forced representation. The leads' backgrounds and struggles serve the narrative, rather than ticking identity boxes. There’s no overt sense that ideology dictates character arcs or plot points, keeping the story’s integrity largely intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values such as family, responsibility, and societal expectations are central to the plot. The show doesn’t mock or undermine religion, masculinity, or morality; if anything, it highlights generational and cultural differences with some nuance. It doesn’t aggressively subvert gender roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, especially regarding social status, age, and tradition, are part of the narrative and are not one-dimensionally villainized. The show's world isn’t an ideological echo chamber, and dissenting perspectives are portrayed with a degree of sincerity.
