- From the outset, Perfect Crown was positioned as an entertainment film with a fantasy element, not a historical drama or documentary. Therefore, demanding absolute accuracy sometimes deviates from the film's original purpose.
Perfect Crown as a purely entertainment product.
Petisi penghapusan drama #PerfectCrown dari OTT udah tembus 50 ribu tanda tangan dalam waktu 4 hari, jadi sekarang petisi itu resmi masuk pembahasan parlemen Korea.
Netizen Korea ngerasa meskipun setting dramanya fiksi, kostum, tata krama, dan beberapa istilah di dramanya terlalu mirip budaya China. Banyak yang bilang ini mirip isu dongbuk gongjeong alias cultural claim China terhadap budaya Korea, jadi mereka takut penonton luar negeri malah salah paham soal identitas budaya Korea.
Kasus ini langsung dibandingin sama drama Joseon Exorcist tahun 2021 yang dulu juga dihujat karena isu sejarah dan unsur China. Bedanya, waktu itu sponsor langsung cabut dan dramanya berhenti tayang cuma 2 episode.
Sekarang tekanan Perfect Crown juga makin gede karena pemerintah Korea ikut turun tangan. Drama ini ternyata sempat dapet bantuan dana produksi dari lembaga konten Korea, jadi kementerian budaya sekarang lagi ngecek apakah dukungan dananya bakal ditarik lagi atau tidak.

These 50,000 people do not represent the 42% of the South Korean population who stayed up all night every night to watch Perfect Crown (according to IGAWorks data).
Furthermore, this is a work of fiction.
This precedent will jeopardize foreign investment in Korean dramas.

The actors you like and the films they star in should prove their worth through numbers and data, not by blindly following a small online group to demand the removal of the Perfect Crown. Your petty, shameless actions show you're afraid of the Perfect Crown at awards ceremonies.
My friend in Korea, who works in the aviation industry and is also a fan of the actor (...), said that there were some offers of money if they signed a petition demanding the cancellation of the drama Perfect Crown. They are fans of some of the actors whose dramas aired this year
Sometimes I wonder if awards at year-end award ceremonies are really that important. Do you think that sometimes the movies and actors you love don't even get nominated? No true K-drama fan would do that. This society.
If the Perfect Crown drama gets out of hand and is taken down, I will publicly request screenshots from my friend's phone as evidence. When the fish dies, the net breaks. This account is simply a fan with no intention of harming anyone, but...
MyShows,a popular Russian platform for watching TV series, has uploaded hundreds of MBC dramas to its homepage.Of all the MBC dramas produced over the past six decades, a newly released drama like Perfect Crown has a rating of 4.57, ranking second among the hundreds of MBC dramas
Perfect Crown officially became the first drama in MBC history to maintain the number 1 position in the top 5 most popular search keywords for 7 consecutive weeks on MBC. (Including all programs from all fields broadcast on MBC starting from the first week of April) Class
Finally, a voice of sanity. Media Today published a brilliant defense of the drama, and it completely exposes the flaws in the "distortion" narrative.
The show is literally titled 21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife (大군부인). The male lead is a Grand Prince (son of a KING), not an Imperial Prince. The world-building consistently established a modern surviving Kingdom, not an Empire.
Demanding a 12-string imperial crown for a King makes zero internal sense. The 9-string crown and "Cheonse" are completely consistent within the writer’s fictional timeline. It’s a creative AU choice, not a national crisis. Media Today is spot on: weaponizing "historical distortion" to cancel art is total overkill. 👑📰

An Instagram post by Korean history instructor Choi Tae-sung regarding Perfect Crown
"I’m sorry to the actors who were hurt because of the post I wrote yesterday. Reading IU’s SNS post and actor Byun’s handwritten letter really broke my heart.
I wrote that we need to improve the system so things like this don’t keep happening, but it seems like the backlash has been misdirected to the wrong places.
Even I sometimes get confused with historical terms. It’s unreasonable to expect actors to understand such specialized terminology and context.
The historical accuracy system should act like solid armor that protects the actors, but it’s always been loose and unreliable, which makes things uneasy. That’s why I suggested we stop turning actors into scapegoats and instead consider creating a historical consulting institute. If we do that, the actors we love won’t have to go through these difficult situations again.
Rather than attacking people, I hope we can focus our collective energy on building a stronger system for historical accuracy."
