Korean movie
This is a Korean movie that is translated to English. Apparently Koreans don’t care for wokeism too much because I didn’t find any in the show. It was actually a pretty good show

DEI Crossed
Yes, the waters are shifting in that direction. Although the series is entertaining and only seven episodes are currently available, the screenwriters have clearly made distinct narrative choices that reflect the application of DEI principles. A clear example is (SPOILER ALERT) the inclusion of a transgender character in the cast. However, it’s not this inclusion that makes it “woke.” What highlights Netflix’s injection of political messaging into the Korean production are the excessive explanations and justifications for THAT character’s motivations in relation to the plot, which feel out of place within the dynamics of that universe.
