Its alignment with modern economic realities, in particular, the impacts of debt, generated many blogs and opinion pieces. Our paper offers an in-depth evaluation of SGTV and identifies that the series provides a depiction of modern economic realities at a truly deeper level, unusual in TV series and movies. Its depiction of the interactions of economic and non-economic motives, and the roles played by debt are aligned with what can be observed in the real world. The series was very successful as a piece of entertainment but actually offers far more than that. Hence, the series is not just to be enjoyed and later to be forgotten, as happened to many successful entertainments. Rather deliberation is needed on the nature of human realities shown there and the solutions offered.
