What We Think

"Something About 1%" is about as non-woke as a modern romantic comedy gets. It sticks to time-tested romance tropes and traditional family values, offering a straightforward, drama-rich story without bending over backward for identity representation or ideology. If you’re tired of the usual Hollywood virtue-signaling, you’ll find this one pleasantly old-school.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"Something About 1%" centers on a classic contract romance plot without prioritizing modern identity themes. Characters are written with traditional personality traits rather than being defined by race, gender, or sexuality. The story sticks closely to genre conventions and focuses on character interaction and development.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The series upholds conventional family values, romance tropes, and even features respect for elders and traditional gender dynamics. There is little to no criticism of religion, family, or masculinity, if anything, the plot is quite typically conservative for a modern K-drama.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the drama does not present much ideological diversity, it doesn’t force modern ideological uniformity either. Traditional values are embraced, and there is minimal mocking or villainization of these perspectives. The cast and story feel refreshingly free from obvious agenda-pushing.
