I'm not an expert on Korean society, just an American who tries to understand the world and multiple cultures through many lenses by way of hearing more informed people's experiences and studies.

Of all of the Korean media I've ever watched, I never knew South Korea relied on a lot of migrant workers until season 1 of Squid Game with a nuanced portrayal of the character of Ali.

I haven't watched season 2 of Squid Game, but based on season 1 and knowing that the LGBTQIA+ community in Korea is fairly small and the public at large are fairly ignorant to that community, I can believe that the trans representation was fairly nuanced with complex critique.

It's also so very demeaning to think anything that seems "progressive" is to "cater to Americans/westerners". There are queer people all over the world. These western countries/America have really complex systems and engagement with the LGBTQIA+ community (and at large leans more conservative/bigoted), and so do other countries. Just because you see less of it in the k-dramas you watch doesn't mean there are no trans people in Korea.

A creator who seems to bring light to many of Korea's issues that seem to be similar to/just like other other countries' is often accused of catering to Amercian sensibilities is so fucking ignorant lmao
