(Anonymous) 2025-03-15 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)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
