What We Think

Theory of Love is firmly on the 'woke' end of the spectrum, prioritizing modern social themes, especially regarding identity and gender, over traditional storytelling conventions or cultural nuance. Expect heavy doses of progressive messaging throughout.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'Theory of Love' leans heavily into representation, particularly LGBTQ+ relationships, making identity a central theme. While the story still tracks the protagonists' personal growth, there are moments where romance and social messaging seem to outweigh classic character-driven arcs or tension.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The series normalizes same-sex relationships and subverts traditional Thai cultural expectations around gender and romance. Family and traditional values are largely backgrounded or presented as obstacles rather than sources of wisdom or stability.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or dissenting perspectives, particularly those reflective of more traditional or non-Western values, appear mostly absent or gently caricatured. The show maintains a consistent celebration of progressive norms, with little room for real debate or pluralism.
