What We Think

‘Longing For You’ leans heavily into classic tropes and respectful cultural representation, keeping woke elements to a minimum. It’s refreshingly non-woke for contemporary drama standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show presents a fairly traditional murder mystery without overemphasizing identity politics or shoehorning in characters for the sake of diversity. Most roles serve the plot, and character depth revolves around personal motivations instead of forced messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Themes of family, justice, and personal redemption are present, and there’s little evidence of agenda-driven subversion of religion, tradition, or masculinity. The show stays rooted in the typical K-drama respect for cultural norms.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are present, and the show does not seem to villainize traditional perspectives or preach a singular modern worldview. There’s a genuine diversity of personalities and conflicts.
