Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Mr. Sunshine features strong historical storytelling and well-developed characters whose personalities and skills drive the narrative. While there is some attention to gender and class, it doesn't override organic character or plot development in our view.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series embraces Korean cultural heritage, traditions, and values like loyalty and family. There is some critique of historical aristocratic oppression, but nothing feels rewritten to force modern ideological narratives or undermine traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The show portrays a variety of viewpoints, including Korean nationalism, class divides, and conflicting allegiances, giving space to different perspectives rather than caricatures or one-note villains. Debate and internal conflict are prevalent.
