This was a Netflix hit for a reason! Episodic in nature, with each episode (or two) focusing on a case. The cases that they took on were fresh, and it was refreshing to see unique situations that lead to needing all the members of the team to come together.
Again, Park Eun-bin absolutely shines. She has true talent, making Woo Young-Woo come to life with refreshing honesty.
The supporting cast are also A+ (even Joo Jong-hyuk, playing Mr.Bad Coworker Kwon Min-woo). I think this could be a gateway Kdrama for many people - in the same way 'Crash Landing on You' was.
Best kdrama of 2022 so far. From intro to credits, everything is perfect. Plot is refreshing, characters are interesting. This is a smart, funny, sensitive series with none of the usual repetitive digressions that are all too common in most K-dramas. The acting is EXCELLENT, and it's obvious that Park Eun-bin really lived up to her reputation for hard work in researching the mannerisms of an autistic lawyer who, while high-functioning, must cope with fixations, coordination issues and hyper-sensitivity to physical stimuli.....
Absolutely adorable! Woo Young-Woo is such a nice character greatly portrayed by Eun-Bin!
16 episodes are not enough!!!
I want more!!!
To me, a very mediocre k-drama.
The characters are predominantly caricatures, and VERY inconsistent ones while at it.
The plot is boring and the plight of the leads isn't interesting. It throws in makjang elements, but those never serve to make the overarching storyline interesting.
The production is of course excellent, though I wouldn't say there was any memorable music / OST.
The legal angle is in some ways very good, in others the typical ridiculous case-procedural in which a court battle takes a week from start to finish rather than a year. (Yes, how else would a TV show work.)
There were a bunch of filler episodes, especially the double episodes, and I wouldn't call the ending satisfactory.
Top top top top top
The show has some flaws and weaknesses, you certainly shouldn't expert a realistic portrayal of attorneys or the legal system in general.
It's just not very immersive when you frequently register that all the elite lawyers struggle with basics that even a viewer with no legal background can immediately register, just so that the 'genius' main character gets an opportunity to shine.
But that is a not too relevant factor. The show offers all essentials of a feel-good show, with some excellent actors and episodes. It certainly provides plenty of drama and entertainment. I'd love to see a second season.
[Netflix] Skillfully uses the autism syndrome that was already used in the Korean k-drama "The good doctor" (2013) to offer a representation of some of the problems of a society that is torn between modernity and tradition. And although some of its themes can be controversial, it manages to balance itself between weepy soap opera, silly comedy and the generational drama of a kind of Amélie in a hostile world.
This show has some strong moments, but is also pretty formulaic and at times, patronizing. I had to roll my eyes each time they had Woo miraculously solving a case and it cut to whale footage. Did they really have to do that in every episode?
"Thanks to the support of many people, we will produce Season 2 of ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo.’ The goal is to air Season 2 in 2024."
it's bullshit they're cancelling all the good shows:rage:
loved it
woo yang woo is soo adorable
As @luckz said, this drama is pretty mediocre in terms of plot, so many things going on but they never really focus on any of them. Production is great. It's alright if you think of it as a slice of life about attorneys.
