Extraordinary Attorney Woo (Korean: 이상한 변호사 우영우) is a 2022 South Korean television series starring Park Eun-bin in the title role, along with Kang Tae-oh and Kang Ki-young. It follows Woo Young-woo, an autistic female rookie attorney hired by a major law firm in Seoul. Because she is different from her neurotypical peers, her manner of communication is seen by them as odd, awkward, and blunt. With each legal case and through her intelligence and photographic memory, she becomes an increasingly competent attorney and earns recognition from other legal professionals and appreciation from her clients.

I enjoyed this show very much and would totally recommend watching it!

Day 4: A Powerful Performance

Extraordinary Attorney Woo - Park Eun Bin turns in an extraordinary performance playing autistic lawyer Woo. A very enjoyable and heart warming drama.

I wonder when they'll start filming the Season 02 of #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo #이상한변호사우영우 (lit. Weird Lawyer U Yeong U). She may not be an #autistic but she graduated in psychology and thus was careful in her portrayal. She superbly did well with her acting. So, I want to see her in the role again.

for an almost complete topic shift, HOLY FUCK I LOVE #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo!!! I've only seen two episodes so far, but I love #autistic Woo Young-woo so much and Park Eun-bin is a delight to watch

there's definitely things that aren't great, like Attorney Woo saying there's nothing more pitiable than having a disability, but I can also believe that's just a thing other people have said to her that she's just accepted (or possibly that she's saying it cynically bc she knows that's what people around her believe). and there's also things like the second episode involves a #queer character, which feels really brave, considering South Korea's stance on #LGBTQ issues

I also really enjoy some of the ways they portray, for instance, her sensitivity to loud/too much noise, or the way thinking about whales calms her nervous system and helps her understand things or put things together in a way her neurotypical colleagues don't

#autism

sometimes I wish it was possible to be like Hoshi Sato, just picking up entire languages in a couple days

I always watch stuff with subtitles bc I have some minor auditory processing issues¹

lately I've been watching a lot of dubbed² stuff³ and it's been really fascinating seeing the differences between the dubs and the subtitles meant as a translation for the original language

I mean, it's similar to the way subtitles meant for #Deaf and #HardOfHearing viewers are sometimes slightly off from what was said (which is an #accessibility issue)

¹ it's worst over the phone, which is fun since that's my whole job, or if I otherwise can't see the person who's speaking, which sometimes happens in TV/movies
² I finished #Ranma12 and started #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo
³ or, in the case of #StopHibariKun, both an anime and a manga with fan translations by different people
