really good autism rep but episodes get repetitive
i really really liked this show! i think that it is one of the best asd rep out there. i have asd myself and i think that the actress and writers really did well presenting an autistic person on screen and the struggles and misunderstandings that come from it. sometimes the way that certain characters acted towards woo young woo because of her autism made me angry! but that only made me like the show more. one of the things i like the most about woo's character is that the writers didnt baby her, but also didnt make her an emotionless robot. she is a character with depth that i can really relate to sometimes.the special effects i think are really cute too.
the only critique i would maybe give the show is that it gets kind of boring in the middle, because the episodes get really repetitive with little plot progression i think that maybe they couldve made the series a bit shorter than 16 episodes. i started this series when it first aired but at episode 12-13 i took a long break because nothing super interesting was happening. it got interesting afterwards tho,, but only because i forced myself to finish the show.

This series will always have a special place
Great and inspirational. This series is an excellent choice for those who enjoy dramatic themes with romance and comedy. This is one of those series that I will remember for quite some time to come. It follows a number of dramatic themes resulting from a number of court cases throughout the series. In some respects, these cases have an impact on the cast and their normal lives and ways of thinking. A strong point of the series is the portrayal of Woo Young Woo by the remarkable actress Park Eun-Bin. During her tenure as an attorney with autism spectrum disorder, her performance was remarkably strong. It is also important to note that the supporting cast does an outstanding job in many regards. As a result of this series, I have been reminded of various reasons why I enjoy watching K-dramas. Excellent writing and outstanding acting. After this, my viewing bar was raised regardless of the origin source of production.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
Definitely watchable
Before i started this show i have been avoiding to watch it becoz of some -ve comments. I am glad i watched it. It was a new plot and after watching Hyena i have started liking Law dramas. It was not as good as Hyena for me but it was still good. If you are putting off just like me, go watch it. Nicely executed and definitely awaiting season 2. It was nice seeing Kang Tae Oh as main lead and i appreciated the acting of Kang Ki Young. It was difficult role to perform and have to shout out loud for Park Eun Bin.What i didn't like - It was getting little draggy towards the end.

Complete entertainment.
When beginning the show, I tried to keep my expectations to the minimum considering the hype. But it lived up to what everyone was talking about and I am glad I decided to give it a chance. Story, not perfect but still was well written. At places, I thought why is only Young-Woo's life so fucked up. I guess it's still acceptable as long as they kept me hooked on the plot. Now I am desperately waiting for the Season 2.What I loved:
1. Park Eun Bin's acting as Young Woo. She aced the role and made me like her weirdest and stupidest of actions. Within a few minutes of getting into the show, I was already rooting for her.
2. Lee Jong Ho: These types of fictional characters are the reason why I am still single at the age of 25. He was the sweetest and most understanding character. I just loved him! (gonna manifest a lover like him 😂😂)
3. Choi Soo Yeon: In the beginning, I thought she is gonna be a negative character, considering how she would taunt Young Woo but she also always stood for Young Woo.
4. Kwon Min Woo: I know many will disagree but I found his jealous behaviour to be more realistic. I totally understood where he was coming from trying to pull down Young Woo. Personally, I won't do it but I get it and like his character for being brutally honest about his intentions.
5. Young Woo's team: From the very beginning, Young Woo got great support from her team. In my personal experience, even I have never got such kind of support when joining a new company. Sometimes, it takes months to prove your value and worth to your colleagues. She got nice people to work with from the start.
6. Choi Sang Hyeon, Young Woo's brother: I am glad he got a good progressive character. I believe Young Woo deserves at least one family member that is nice, respectful and has a conscience.
Things I hated:
1. Young Woo's dad: that guy is the stupidest person I have ever seen. I want to believe whatever he did was for Young Woo but it was so stupid that I can't get over it. I mean he got his daughter a job by making a deal to reveal who her mother is knowing that the mom is damn famous. I mean I can see how it's gonna end by just thinking about it. Stupid characters doing stupid things.
2. Attorney Jang: A few more episodes and I would have punched my laptop seeing that guy behave like an asshole with a pea-sized brain. He was giving full on Dolores Umbridge vibes. He was in the show for like 3 episodes yet I hated him the most. I hope he's not in the next season or else I might actually break my laptop...😅
That's it guys. I am going to stop now. I just hope they do justice with the next season and give a little more romance between Young Woo -Joon Ho and Soo Yeon-Min Woo....

One of the best K-drama's ever!!진심이야
If I'm very honest with you if I didn't see the little edit's that were being shown on youtube, I don't think I would have watched this drama, nor would I have renewed my Netflix account just so I can watch this drama. That's how good it is. So I watched episode 13, but you know how at the end of each episode they give a small preview of what's to come in the next episode. yeah I saw that plus the ending that was shocking left me in tears. I was bawling my eyes so much that I sent a voice message to my friends crying because of how sad I was . OK so my dude didn't die but now there's another problem, they broke up 우아,now I don't know what's to happen in next episode hopefully they can sort out their differences and work it out. My guy kwon min woo finally had a change of character in the final episodes of this drama, I was so happy. I was very sceptical about the last episode as there was a lot of issues to cover in the final one, luckily everything turned out so well. Supposedly there's going to be a season 2.I don't know how to feel about that since if they are to have a season it would be already in the making or after kang tea ho returns from his mandatory military service. Hopefully that happens but even if it doesn't I'm very happy with the ending we were presented with for EAW.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
Characters I'll always remember
So… I decided to watch this kdrama because of the hype, because EVERYONE was watching it. Thank god I did too, because it’s now in my list of favorite dramas.STORY / PLOT
I thought that having a lawyer with autism was a really clever idea and I was curious as to how they would carry the story. They did it really well.
I need to mention the cases, because it’s a law drama. The cases in this one aren’t of the type I’m used to see. They usually put strong cases, such as murders, but in this drama this wasn’t the case, so it was refreshing to watch. They are more simple cases but with difficulties, of course. More like everyday life cases.
There is more romance than what I expected, because as Young Woo has autism well... you know. It was so sweet and I loved it.
CHARACTERS
Woo Young Woo is amazing, I loved her from the beginning. This character has a nice evolution in an aspect I can't talk about or it will be a spoiler, but her thinking about this is so nice.
The main man character, OH MY GOD. He’s such a lovely and sweet person I can tell you that he is like an angel that fell from the sky and got lost in our world. He treats Young Woo amazingly. He is so kind with her and always sees her as anyone else. I mean, he didn’t treat her like she had autism. He is one of the best characters I could encounter in a kdrama.
The secondary characters were lovely too, specially the head of the group of lawyers. I love him.
MUSIC
I didn’t pay attention to this really, but I got to add to my playlist a couple of them and they are nice, so I’m okay with the OSTs of this kdrama.

woo best girl ♡
(English)This drama is wonderful one of the best I've ever watched, it holds you from start to finish, it's not just a story about a law firm and much more than that, we have a protagonist with the autistic spectrum who is a strong and independent woman and the other characters that are very well worked out, the cases are also very well thought out and you always end up being surprised by something that happens in each episode. The romance between woo young woo and Lee Jun ho is one of the sweetest and most beautiful I've ever seen, not to mention the OST which is magnificent, I think for all these factors Extraordinary Attorney Woo is so good and became popular.
(Portuguese)
Esse dorama é maravilhoso uns dos melhores que já assisti, ele te prende do início ao fim, não é apenas uma história de um escritório de advocacia e muito mais do que isso, temos uma protagonista com o espectro autista que é uma mulher forte e independente e os outros personagens que são muito bem trabalhados, os casos também são muito bem pensados e você sempre acaba se surpreendendo com algo que acontece em casa episódios. O romance entre woo young woo e Lee Jun ho e uns dos mais doces e mais bonitos que eu já vi, sem falar na OST que é magnífica, acho que por todos esses fatores Extraordinary Attorney Woo é tão bom e se tornou popular.

About Jun-ho Figure
Dear Moon Ji-won,It's good to know more Korea by watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo, great masterpiece!
For me a little bit missing link in your script is Jun-ho figure. It will be very helpful if you make a scene background of childhood Jun-ho, who was a kindhearted boy, for instance began with his relationship with handicap animals, maybe cats or dogs? Which in his previous experiences the extraordinary behavior of these handicap animals didn't bother him at all, even attractive or made him extra take care or love them.
Then it's not too "jumped" to an adult Ji Ho who fall in love with Woo, for she with extraordinary behavior which did not happen in ordinary life...

Park Eun Bin Made Extraordinary Attorney Woo a Blockbuster!
This drama will touch everyone's heart. Heartwarming, at times gut wrenching when one considers the challenges that Young Woo had to endure as an autistic person. It's a humbling journey and makes one realize how tiny their woes are compared to others who must face hardships almost everyday, from the physical challenges to emotional ones when one would never know if she will be subjected to ridicule from the "normal" people, treated with disdain as well as the never ending insults just because she's different.This was the first drama of Park Eun Bin that I watched and she is just a superb actress. She embodied Young Woo to a T and all I can say is, "Bravo Park Eun Bin." Young Woo, an autistic genius savant who memorized her father's law books when she was a child, graduated summa cum laude, and yet, unable to navigate a revolving door, her fascination and fixation with whales, made her a unique and yes, extraordinary heroine. As Young Woo, her light bulb moments in solving complex issues, when her genius shone through, were worth rewatching.
The cases, some more interesting than others, took a back seat and served as the backdrop for Young Woo embarking on a new chapter in her life as a young lawyer. Her autism became an advantage because it gave her a keen sense of observation that a normal lawyer would otherwise disregard. She had her vulnerable moments but she's able to rationalize and accept the fact that people will not always be understanding of her unusual behaviour. That said, she's is confident in her own skin and had a gift of letting people into her life who, in turn, became her fiercest defenders and cheerleaders.
More than ever, this drama was a teaching moment for the viewers and I guess it was what the writer aimed for. No matter how many challenges life throws at you, you can overcome them just like Young Woo, Her fascination with the sperm whale, this gentle giant, is a reflection of who she is; a gentle human being, happy and contented and as she exclaimed in the last scene, after waltzing through and conquering the revolving door, "A sense of fulfillment. The emotion I'm feeling this morning is a sense of fulfillment."
Highly recommended. A great picker upper when you're feeling down and depleted.

Extraordinary!
The name says it all. Attorney Woo is, in fact, extraordinary. Asperger's is not an easy thing to deal with for a lot of people, but people with Asperger's aren't stupid. They know they are different and they see the way people treat them. I found this drama to be not only interesting on the legal side, but also heartwarming and emotional. I think they dealt with the matter of a woman with disabilities learning to love very well, while acknowledging that loving a person with Asperger's can be difficult. The love story, which is very much in the background so far, as well as dealing with family, friends, colleagues, and clients, is so well done. The actors are amazing. I haven't read the books, so this review is based solely on an appreciation of the series that I watched with subtitles on Netflix. So far I have watched 11 episodes and I would watch them again and again. I sometimes feel some second hand embarrassment, and they do deal with serious issues, but every episode so far has been beautifully done. I am especially pleased with how well the actress who plays Attorney Woo is able to play an Autistic woman, as well as the portrayal of her love interest. Both actors are so good. You'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll have to really think about what it means to be different in this world. I would recommend this series to anyone.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
