Several characters seem designed to tick identity boxes rather than to serve the story, which can sometimes overshadow believable character growth and realistic tension.

This series often reinterprets traditional family dynamics and values, portraying older customs and masculinity as either outdated or comical. There are storylines where religion and cultural roots are sidelined in favor of more modern sensibilities, though not in the most extreme fashion.

Alternative viewpoints are generally absent and those who express skepticism toward the prevailing modern ideology are painted as out-of-touch or villainous. Internal debates on societal norms are rare, giving the impression that ideological uniformity is the default setting of this universe.
