Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show focuses on character-driven storytelling with traditional comedic and romantic beats. There's no indication that identity politics or forced representation overshadow the narrative, characters seem to earn their place based on merit within the story. It mostly plays it straight, sticking to genre norms.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family dynamics, respect for elders, and cultural traditions are prominent and positively portrayed. Masculinity and femininity both get their due without unnecessary subversion or mockery. The supernatural themes play off Korean folklore without rewriting it in woke-friendly terms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There isn’t much evidence of ideological uniformity. Diverse worldviews are either respected or not the focus, and the show doesn’t seem interested in villainizing traditional perspectives. Humor and heart remain the core priorities.
