What We Think

For those tired of the usual Hollywood “woke” playbook, Kisah Untuk Geri is refreshingly non-woke, relying on character and story rather than messaging. Its focus is solidly on the relationships and emotional growth that have always made coming-of-age stories work.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Kisah Untuk Geri sticks closely to a traditional teen romance narrative, focusing on personal relationships and personal growth more than ideological box-ticking. Characters are mostly fleshed out based on personality, not identity factors, and there's little evidence of “forced representation” or competence inflation for diverse characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely upholds conventional values regarding family bonds, friendship, and coming-of-age. There isn’t much subversion of gender roles or aggressive rewriting of cultural traditions; if anything, it leans into them. It appears to respect the cultural setting without shoehorning in modern ideological lectures.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the main worldview is fairly mainstream, alternative moral perspectives aren't mocked or villainized. There’s a range of personalities, and any differences in viewpoint feel organic to the teen drama context, not like sociopolitical messaging.
