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

A refreshingly non-woke, lighthearted romcom that centers on relatable human foibles rather than modern identity politics. If you want something that doesn’t try to lecture you, this is a good pick.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'He Who Can't Marry' focuses on a quirky but skilled male architect and his romantic misadventures. Identity traits are not foregrounded at the expense of character or narrative, and there's minimal sign of forced diversity. The show is more interested in character growth and social awkwardness than pushing modern ideological subplots.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family, career dedication, and marriage are core plot elements, and masculinity is portrayed without derision. There’s some poking fun at the protagonist’s social ineptitude, but it’s not a critique of masculinity or tradition, just of his eccentricities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s little sign of ideological monoculture. The show explores different perspectives on love, marriage, and happiness, with plenty of room for disagreement and humor between characters. No overt attempts to mock or villainize dissenting views.
