It was also accused of being `` pro-Japanese '' ; by being an apologist for pro-Japanese collaborators before Japan 's colonial rule of Korea as well as `` romanticizing '' the pro-Japanese stance through portraying the character Goo Dong - mae as a member of the `` Black Dragon Society '', a pro-Japanese organization. The series was also criticized for enforcing stereotypes - portraying the Japanese as villains and the Americans as heroes. The production house of Mr. Sunshine responded to the criticisms by stating that the organizations and characters portrayed in the series are fictional and that they will modify the character description of Goo Dong - mae accordingly.
