What We Think

'Long Time No See' is a textbook example of prioritizing modern identity and representation over traditional storytelling and cultural foundations. Those craving non-woke content will find little comfort here, this is a highly woke production.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The central romantic storyline revolves around two male leads, and their sexuality is foregrounded over deeper character development at times. It appears that representation often takes priority over organic narrative progression or personal backstory depth, though there’s still some attempt at plot and action balance.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family or conventional masculinity are largely sidelined or depicted as obstacles to the leads' happiness. The show could be seen as framing established social norms as repressive, elevating modern identity concerns and prioritizing queer romance.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Most characters either accept or align with progressive views on relationships; traditional perspectives are not deeply explored except as sources of conflict. There is little nuance or genuine debate, making the show feel quite ideologically uniform.
