In our view, "Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo" often leans into casting and character writing choices that highlight modern identity themes over more organic character development. There are clear moments where story logic seems to serve ideology first, leading to credibility strains and some heavy-handed representation that distracts from merit-based character growth.

It appears the show reinterprets traditional values and culture (especially surrounding martial arts, discipline, and family) to better align with contemporary sensibilities. Masculinity is frequently undermined or played for laughs, while traditional modes of authority and cultural respect are cast as outdated or problematic.

The series presents dissenting views primarily through stereotype or villainy, leaving little room for serious engagement with alternative or traditional perspectives. Almost all main characters appear to effortlessly agree on progressive values, making internal ideological debate pretty much nonexistent.
