Extraordinary Attorney Woo

no one is goona write better script than this

This is how you write a perfect script. OMG, this drama is beyond amazing.

First of all, there is not a single villain and not a single moment of overacting. Every character feels so real and human. And the romance - I don't even know how to explain it. I usually hate it when the male lead is shown as this super green flag who is constantly chasing and yearning for the girl. I like my male leads calm and mature. If he likes her, he will just respectfully propose and be sure about it. And Lee Jun-ho is exactly that. He is the GREENEST FOREST of all K-dramas. No one can beat him. The way he loves Woo Young-woo - so patient, so respectful, never making her uncomfortable. And the chemistry between them? OMG???

And then the beautiful second female lead, Choi Soo-yeon. I had a crush on her character. She is peak nonchalant on the outside but would literally die for Young-woo. Usually K-dramas always show how only the female lead is putting more effort into friendships, but not here. Soo-yeon and Dong Geu-ra-mi are literally the sunshine of Young-woo's life. They defend her, hype her up, and love her unconditionally.

What I loved the most is how they wrote Soo-yeon. She also liked Jun-ho, but she NEVER hated Young-woo for it. She was jealous for a second, but she chose friendship over a guy. Why are characters like this not more famous is still a mystery to me. Female friendship like this is so rare to see done right.

Honestly, both of her friends are one of the best characters written. In this drama, no one feels like just a side character. You are just watching everyone's POV. Someone wants fame, someone wants success, someone wants love, maybe someone just wants attention, but you are never going to hate any character. Everyone is so lovable in their own way.

And OMG the boss - Attorney Jung Myung-seok. Can I talk about how this drama never revolves around a love triangle? In any other K-drama, they would have made the boss also fall in love with her. But not here. He is her guardian, her mentor, a father figure at work who genuinely cares for her platonically. That respect was so refreshing.

The script really ATE every single episode. Each case is emotional and meaningful and teaches you something new.

And how could I forget her father? He is the real MVP. He is the one who let all of this happen. He supported her in her worst and her best. A single father raising a child on the spectrum, sacrificing his entire life, his dreams, everything. The man knows that at the end, if his daughter gets married and leaves, he will have nothing left, but he still lets her fly. That kind of parental love is so hard to portray, but they did it so beautifully.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo is healing, comforting, funny, and heartwarming. It's the K-drama of the year and no one is gonna beat this.

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.

Compelling characters and great acting

Things I adored

1 The FL. I hadn't seen her in nay other drama and I think she did a great job. I know many people like to argue about how right they got her character but my best friend works with children in the spectrum and he says there are as many different kinds as children so I have nothing to complain about that part of the show. She portrays one character and she does a wonderful job. Simple as that.

2 The ML. I had seen the actor in a more lighthearted drama and I had loved him there as well, but here I fell in love with his kind and warm personality. I think he also did a great job and I wish we could see more of the m in the future.

3 The father. What a great performance from the actor. He had me in tears sometimes, so much I got the struggles he went through.

Things I loved

1 The superior of the FL. A great character. I also wish I could see him in the future, back with his ex or anyway happy and in peace.

2 The friend of the FL. An interesting character you don't always know how she feels, but at the end of the day she is a good person who cares about the FL, so in my book she is great. The actress did a great job as well.

3 The brother of the FL. A decent character and the actor was good. I also want to know what will happen to them.

Things I liked

1 The cases. Some I loved, but not all, so a general feeling is that I liked the cases but didn't love them. I feel like they could be better.

Things I disliked

1 The lawyer who hired her. An ambiguous person who you loved to hate sometimes, but then again she isn't black and white. I found her an interesting character. I'd love a second season to see all these people evolve.

2 The male lawyer who always complained. I could easily put him in the I hate category but truth is he also wasn't black or white and even though I wanted to punch his face more times than not, I can't deny that he was also an interesting character.

3 The mother of the FL. What an idiot. She should go to the I hate list, but again, I decided not to albeit with great regret, because I would also like to see how she moves on after she imploded. I do hate her character, though, but the actress was great in the role.
