Extraordinary Attorney Woo

The Marvel that is Park Eun Bin

Park Eun Bin is the reason this drama is a 10. Yes, the writing and other cast are great, but the show rises and falls on the MC and Park Eun Bin rocked it as Woo Young-woo. Kang Tae-oh was the perfect cinnamon roll to walk alongside her character. The romance was cute, but the highlight for me were the female friendships featured in this. Amazing solidarity even when characters are were competing against each other. No backstabbing between the three main female char characters. More of this in drama please!

Cast chemistry in this one was fabulous. I’ve heard rumours that there might be an S2, and I hope they can get everyone back if this happens.

SO FREAKING GOOD AND ADORABLE

BTW; This doesn't contain any spoilers but it can spoil the dynamics between the characters and such.

I barely have any negative comments for this tbh, it's just so good. Binged watched the whole thing in less than 5 days (I was on break I swear I have a life). Okay, I said I don't have any negative thing to say but tbh I can be a bit stereotypical sometimes, but other than that it was an amazing show. Got really emotional sometimes, her dynamic with Junho was really sweet, really loved how he was so patient and understanding with her despite the lack of attention she gave him... AND PLEASE HER FRIENDSHIP WITH GEURAMI, please I strive to have something like they do. Kinda did have a bit of a crush on Minwoo when he wasn't being a b*tch but anyways... He and Suyeon were cute (once again when they weren't being major b*tches T-T)
All the characters had great chemistry with each other; romantic, platonic...etc and the acting was chef's kiss as well. Definitely one of my all time favourite K-dramas, It's sooo good would definitely recommend it.

PS: I don't pay attention to OSTs and music in dramas so don't completely trust my rating on that.

I finally watched this because of the positive reviews it got.
the first few episodes were interesting, sometimes funny but after maybe 9th episode, it became just like any other generic boring drama out there who wants to send a message to its audience in the worst possible in your face tone..
Despite the promising start and the fact that fl would look at a different angle of the cases that usually others miss, I think they started to get too emotional in handling their cases as drama went on.

Episodes 9 and 10 are the boldest examples. (*spoilers ahead*)

-In ep 9 although the parents had excessive educational practices for the kids, a random guy kidnapping the kids isn't the solution! at least give him a legitimate practice to achieve that goal instead of being unapologetic about kidnapping kids! like building a free playground! or some kind of playtime program.
-In ep 10, no matter how much they wanted to turn it into a love story.. with her situation and that guy, it also felt to me that he was taking advantage of her.. the mom surely was pushing her a bit too much but the mom had legit concerns! fl kept talking about spectrum yet forgetting not everyone is as lucky as her! did the girl really know what it means to love someone? fl lead her on with their conversation in the street. the guy who calls the women in his sight 'noona' or gives nicknames to get close to them and had a history of hitting on another disabled person in the past is such a red flag even for an average girl, let alone the girl in this case.

the rest of the cases were too boring for me to care!!

I can't believe I'm saying this but the romance was unnecessary and it might have been better if fl could find friends along the way or something like that..

My last complaint is the mom ...
I wish they just focused on her life and adapting to society. I mean it would've been very interesting if she actually moved out from his dad's place and changed firms!! yet because of the unnecessary mom plot, she continued working the job she got through connections.. even if the ceo did it out of spite to ruin her mom doesn't change anything.

As for the characters, everyone was likable at some point except Kwon Min U.
at the beginning, although it originated from his jealousy and insecurity, I think he was not wrong about calling out fl for getting the job through connections.
for the rest of the drama though I can not excuse his trashy behavior.

Overall it wasn't unwatchable but it wasn't something to rave about! I won't be re-watching it in future.
If the stuff I mentioned doesn't bother you, go ahead and watch it.

This show definitely exceeded the hype surrounding it, what's not to love?!? Park Eun Bin is damn amazing as the autistic attorney who was struggling to fit in a cut-throat industry where everyone sees her diagnosis as a hindrance, rather than as a gift. Young Woo's tenacity to be self-sufficient was partly thanks to her father who has devoted his life encouraging Young Woo to be the person she wants to be. Kang Tae Oh delivers as Lee Joon Ho, the kind litigator who does not hold any prejudices (unlike most people in their society) and sometimes find Young Woo's quirks endearing. I love the camaraderie among the legal crew although some of them may have ulterior motives in befriending Young Woo, but in the end, they put aside their selfish wants to become better people. The drama is nail-biting to watch as Young Woo unravels case after case with the help of her colleagues, and it was fascinating to see how Young Woo matures and overcomes her social disability to reach her full potential.

Extraordinary, heartwarming, cute and fun!

I will definitely miss this gem.

I will miss the casts and everything. Now I don't have anything to look forward to every Wednesday and Thursday nights. I don't want this drama to end. 😅 I'm really glad there is Season 2. I hope they keep the same pace of this story being light and warm.

All episodes are interesting and fun to watch. Side stories have lessons and very inspiring.

The Script is brilliant!

The animations, the editing, cinematography, and everything are all praise worthy.

The Casts? They're amazing. All great actors! Really fit their roles! 👌

Atty. Woo is such a cutie. I love her character. I feel like I want to protect her from everything. I'm happy when she's happy. Plus I love her more when she's working and when she's with Joon Ho.

Lee Joon Ho is just so perfect. Where to find a guy like him? For me, he surpassed every KDrama men so far. I love how he loves Young Woo.

Atty. Jung is funny and kind. I like that he was hesitant to accept Young Woo at first but changes after he saw how credible Young Woo is.

Choi Soo Yeon is a perfect girl. I love how she's always on Young Woo's side. She's really a spring sunshine. Bestest girl ever!!!

Atty. Kwon - I hated him. No other words. His character development near the end is kinda off for me. Doesn't make the drama bad though.

Young Woo's Dad - Love him. I love how he is supportive of Young Woo. I love how he takes care of her and how patient he is about her and her condition. All Dad's should be like him.

Geurami and Hairy - they're so funny! I love that they're YW's friends.

Tae Soo Mi- I just thought she's nice and I thought she's gonna be a great Mom but she disappointed me so much.

I just love everything about the show. Looking forward to Season 2. I love the love story of Young Woo and Joon Ho! 💕

Above all, I love how Kang Tae Oh smiles the most! 🥰

The Softest Kind of Strength

This one didn’t just move me. It reached into something quiet I hadn’t realized I’d muted — a part of me that still wonders what it means to belong when everything about you feels out of step with the world around you.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo isn’t loud. It doesn’t try to impress. It simply offers itself, gently, and waits for you to feel it. And I did. Over and over again.

Watching Woo Young-woo navigate a world built for sameness, armed with logic, wonder, honesty, and an absolutely unwavering sense of right and wrong — it was beautiful in a way that didn’t need to be dramatic. Park Eun-bin didn’t just play her, she embodied her, not as a checklist of behaviors, but as a full, feeling person. It never felt like a performance. It felt like a conversation. And I listened to every word of it.

Each case the show presented had its own rhythm — some quirky, some painful, all of them layered with moral questions that never felt heavy-handed. What made them work wasn’t the verdicts. It was how they reflected back something bigger: how people see each other. How judgment is passed — in courtrooms, in offices, in families — long before a gavel falls.

And then there were the relationships. Her father, carrying guilt and pride in equal measure. Her best friend, loud and loyal and unafraid to tell the truth. Her co-workers, slowly shifting from curiosity to respect. And Jun-ho — kind, patient Jun-ho — who didn’t try to fix or explain her, just walked beside her. Their romance didn’t burn fast. It unfolded. Carefully. With pauses that felt as important as the words.

The tone wobbled at times. Moments of whimsy gave way to sudden weight, and not every subplot landed clean. But even then, the show never lost its center. It knew what story it was telling. And more than that, it knew how it wanted to tell it — with compassion, with clarity, and with the quiet conviction that difference isn’t something to overcome, but to honor.

I didn’t expect to cry as much as I did. Or to laugh, softly, at the little ways the show tucked in joy. But it all landed. Not with force, but with that rare kind of grace that doesn’t ask for attention — just trust.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo wasn’t just moving. It was affirming. And in its softest moments, it reminded me that being different is not a flaw. It’s a language. And sometimes, someone speaks it back.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022) - I like this one as I was waiting for it every week. The drama is also engaging that the main lead is projected as a really nice ‘perfect’ kind of guy. The story development is good for me, and as it nears the end of every one or two episodes there are lessons that the drama wants to impart to me as a viewer. I love that the drama doesn’t really have a “villain” (*except with Attorney Jang – whom I’m just really pissed off). I love the ending as to what I was expecting and it’s nice that it’s not stressful because usually if there is a second season there is to be something “to look forward to” ending. Still the drama has more to show which I think has not been seen yet, revelations and all and there are also deleted scenes which they may incorporate in the next season. Looking forward to season 2.

It may not start good, but this isn't what i expected. I undersand the flow it was when this was airing, but it's not exactly for my liking. This serial it's good if you wanna be a lawyer and if you are korean, cuz it has a lot of korean law in it. I liked the love story between her and junho, but i honestly wanted to see more, and especially in the final scene. Overall it was a good serie, but just not for you.Tho, i love the acting and the story. And it honestly hurts to know that are people who are in the same or similar circumstances. i reccomand this, go watch it, but as i told you, not for me.
