The court said,  Unless the content of the drama directly targets the civic group, it is difficult to see if the personal rights are infringed by the broadcasting of the drama.  Even if the content of the drama is based on a distorted view of history, such as the claims of the creditors, it is hard to believe that the public will blindly accept these contents as fact. This was done on grounds that there is a risk of their personal rights being violated. The drama is set in 1987 in Seoul, where a college student hides someone in their dormitory.
