The Adulterer primarily focuses on interpersonal drama and complex relationships, rather than pushing identity-based narratives. Character motivations and conflicts are rooted in personal flaws and realistic situations, not ideological agendas. Forced diversity casting or emphasis on race, gender, or sexuality over personality and skill is largely absent.

While the show explores infidelity and challenges to traditional family values, it does so in a grounded, mature manner rather than as an ideological critique of family or morality. There’s little sign of the overt mocking or undermining of religion, masculinity, or cultural institutions one might expect from a more 'woke' work.

The series features morally gray characters and conflicting perspectives, rather than simple binaries or a uniform set of values. Traditional and alternative viewpoints are both explored through nuanced portrayals, without heavy-handed villainization or ideological preaching.
