Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central narrative focuses on the personal conflict between duty and love, set against a backdrop of class differences, without explicitly promoting or critiquing any specific political ideology. Its resolution emphasizes individual choices and emotional fulfillment rather than systemic change.
The series features traditional casting for its South Korean setting, with no explicit race or gender swaps of roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, without explicitly centering on DEI themes.
Secondary
The series prominently features a terrorist cell whose members are Muslim. While the narrative explores complex political and personal motivations for their actions, it primarily depicts adherents of the faith as antagonists engaged in cruel and hateful acts, without significant counterbalancing positive portrayals of the religion itself or its broader community.
The series 'Bodyguard' primarily focuses on political thriller elements and the personal life of its protagonist. There are no identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes present in the main narrative or subplots, resulting in no specific portrayal of queer identity within the show.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2018 series "Bodyguard" is an original production, not an adaptation or reboot of existing material. All characters were created specifically for this show, meaning there is no prior canonical or historical gender to compare against for a gender swap.
