With the wider range of viewers and accessibility to Korean contents thanks to streaming platforms, a global audience has embraced watching K-dramas.

From historical to the good old rom-com and even revenge dramas, viewers fell in love with entertaining stories and characters.

Unfortunately, the Korean drama production industry has been facing controversies involving dramas that spark disappointment from fans.

Due to the undertones and racist stereotypes, several K-dramas received backlash from viewers.

Another recent K-drama that faced backlash due to cultural depiction is "Little Women."

The novel-based series gained mixed reactions from viewers after airing one specific scene that included the Vietnam War.

The show was removed from Vietnam after showing a controversial scene where a Korean veteran talked about the killing ratio for Korean troops versus the Vietnamese.

Due to the alleged "discriminatory terms" used to describe Vietnamese soldiers, viewers found it offensive, causing the country to ban "Little Women" in the country.
