​"The spoon class theory is a modern social class concept that humorously represents the complex class structure in society. It originated in the United States, where terms like ""silver spoon"" referred to the high-income class, ""wooden spoon"" to the low-income class, and ""plastic spoon"" to the lowest class. In Korea, the theory has been further developed with additional terms like ""gold spoon"" and ""black spoon,"" reflecting a more nuanced view of social stratification and spreading widely in cultural discourse. The drama adaptation aimed to faithfully reflect the original work and achieved great success, earning several accolades at the 2022 MBC Drama Awards. Yook Sungjae won the Best Male Actor Award in the Miniseries category, while Choi Won-young received the Best Character Award. Additionally, Lee Jong-won and Yeonwoo demonstrated the drama's popularity and impact by winning the Male Rookie Award and Female Rookie Award, respectively."​
