Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The show largely prioritizes story and traditional romance, with character identities serving the historical and cultural plot rather than dominating it. Forced representation and ideology don't take precedence over narrative coherence or character development, which remains fairly grounded.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the show features a time-traveling female protagonist and offers light commentary on gender norms, it generally respects traditional values, particularly around family, marriage, and heritage. Any subversion feels gentle and authentic to the romantic-comedy genre, not aggressive episode-by-episode deconstruction.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives, especially traditional ones, are present and not overtly mocked. The show's conflicts arise more from personal and romantic hurdles than ideological debates, and there is room for multiple worldviews. Ideological messaging is minimal.
