Part 3/9:
One of the critical discussions surrounding the series is the shift in ethnicity for several characters—a move perceived by some as a pandering attempt to engage with social themes or a form of “wokeness.” The creators have addressed this by stating that the series is a work of fiction, allowing creative interpretations, yet it remains contested whether they achieve a sensitive and balanced portrayal. The creators highlight their intention to inspire dialogue on existing gender dynamics and societal issues through the characters, particularly focusing on the interplay between fiction and reality.
