Lots of ignorant views here lol. At the end of the day, the drama is produced for Korean citizens, and if they felt that the content being shown is offensive then they can oppose it. Us international viewers with barely any attachments or knowledge of Korean cultures and histories have no right to tell Koreans how to react to their history being mispresented lol.
Many participants and survivors of this movement are still well alive today, and if the plot leak is really true, and then they have every right to be offended. I don't necessarily agree with the whole petition thing, but if I found out there's a show out there that might romanticize a large, painful historic event in my country, I would also be mad. Also, say if the leaked plot is real and the show actually gets shown, many young, ignorant international fans will watch it and might potentially have a very skewed view of the event – which is just bad.
Hopefully, JTBC can give a better response to clarify the plot.
I love this show so much. It's just so relaxing and fun. The casts is hilarious and the food looks amazing. The guests are pretty interesting too. I enjoy hearing about their trip and see how happy they are eating Korean food. If you're a fan of food/healing shows like Three Meals a Day, Coffee Friends, Hyori's Homestay, etc., then this show is perfect for you.
