What We Think

"Something in the Rain" avoids heavy-handed woke messaging, instead opting for a grounded exploration of romance and societal expectations. Compared to most recent media, it's refreshingly non-woke in its approach.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show's storytelling stays rooted in character-driven romance and realistic conflict. Identities are not shoehorned in for the sake of ideology, and the characters' backgrounds generally serve story and cultural context rather than modern checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional Korean family values, generational divides, and attitudes toward romance and gender roles are depicted authentically. While there is some questioning of norms, it doesn't aggressively undermine cultural foundations but presents conflicts as lived realities for contemporary Koreans.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, such as conservative family perspectives, are represented and explored with nuance. The show doesn't villainize traditionalists or imply a single moral ideology prevails, debate and internal conflict abound.
