Korean drama "Little Women" removed from Netflix
VOV.VN - Streaming giant Netflix have moved to take down Korean drama "Little Women" from their platform as of October 6 afternoon due to the series’ alleged distortions of the Vietnam War.
On the morning of October 6 the movie continued to top the list of most watched films of the day. There are currently two more episodes remaining with its screening scheduled during the weekend.
Netfllix’s decision comes after the Authority of Broadcasting and Electronic Information under the Ministry of Information and Communications requested on October 5 that the streaming giant remove the film "Little Women" as it contains incorrect information about Vietnamese history.
The movie has provoked anger among local viewers as it twists Vietnamese history, denies Vietnamese revolutionary achievements, and insults national heroes. It also violates restrictions in relation to cinematographic activities in accordance with Vietnamese law.
The alleged violations take place in episode three at between 58:01 and 58:22 and again in episode eight between 5:41 and 7:01 when the actors speak about the Vietnam War.
The Korean drama directed by Kim Hee-won is loosely based on a novel of the same name written by Louisa May Alcott which tells the story of three sisters starring Kim Go Eun, Nam Ji Hyun, and Park Ji Hoo.
