What We Think

Meteor Garden is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards, a good old-fashioned romantic drama focused on personal relationships with minimal contemporary social messaging. If you’re looking for something that doesn’t beat you over the head with ideology, this is a safe bet.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Meteor Garden" largely focuses on romance and personal development without significant evidence of forced representation or hyper-competent, flawless characters inserted for ideological checkboxing. Personalities, flaws, and growth arcs are central, rather than identity politics. The narrative feels organic, even if melodramatic at times.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family values and cultural norms are depicted without much subversion or mockery. Gender roles remain fairly conventional, and there’s little to suggest an overhaul of cultural heritage for the sake of modern ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show doesn’t seem to push any dominant ideological message. Characters have conflicts and disagree, but these revolve around personal or family issues rather than ideological dogmas. Alternative viewpoints are neither villainized nor erased.
