On October 4, Le Quang Tu Do, head of the Department of Radio, Television and Electronic Information said that the Department had issued a document on October 3 asking Netflix to remove the South Korean TV drama "Little Women" (Vietnamese title: "Ba chị em") in Vietnam due to content that distorts history.

The deadline for this request is October 5.

The drama violated the prohibited acts specified in Clause 4, Article 9 of the Press Law on distorting history, denying revolutionary achievements, and insulting the nation.

It also violated the prohibited acts in cinematographic activities specified in Clause 4, Article 11 of the Law on Cinema with the same content as the above-mentioned clause in the Press Law.

The alleged violations are depicted in episodes 3 from 58:01 to 58:22, and 8 from 5:41 to 7:01 when actors speak about the war.

Tu Do said Netflix has responded to the Department's written request and currently processing it.

However, in episodes 5, 7, and 8, the series mentions the war and distorts the history of Vietnam.

Immediately after this information was shared, a series of groups discussing Korean films announced that they would stop updating information related to "Little Women".

Many viewers called for a boycott of the drama.

"Movies are for entertainment, but history must be true. Absolutely do not watch"; “How can one make a movie that changes history, glorifying these barbaric soldiers? Although the film borrowed that story to condemn the act of being a mercenary for the US, it is unacceptable when it is repeated like that!" some viewers commented.
