I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The show was fantastic, and I believe it did justice to the tale of an autistic lawyer attempting to deal with the realities of daily life. I am hoping there will be a second season so we can learn more about her experiences becoming a full-time Hanbada lawyer and in her love life. I have noticed something: in the series, Woo Young Woo's mother declared that she did not want to become a mother and have the child from the very beginning of her pregnancy. In accordance with the agreement she and Woo's father made, she gave the child away to the child's father after she gave birth and she never looked back (as he would be the only person responsible for the child's upbringing). I believe it was unfair that she was being attacked by everyone for not looking for or caring for Woo Young Woo; she had previously made it clear that she did not want to become a mother.I definitely felt a lot of emotions while watching this K-drama. This drama, in my opinion, says a lot about itself because it inspired me to learn more about the autism spectrum and to discover that there are roughly five types.

Good acting - Nice story - Touching characters.
I've loved the personality of the main character. Even if it's not so easy to act like a real autistic/asperger, I think they've done it well, without the too much dramatic issue of it.Really think she played very well and I did liked all the drama ambiance.
The actress and her character are very, both charming and touching.

Took a piece of my heart ❤️
Goddd how can I explain it. It's too too too good. I have seen some shows and on autism but this one is a diamond. If your having a thought whether to watch it or not undoubtedly watch it because you would be doing yourself a favor. I loved it. If there is anyone out there with a biggest and largest green flag that is main male lead. He definitely took my heart, no no I just gave him my heart. The writing was too good. they wrote characters with a lot of love. Will see a great character development for each character even the main female lead. At the they have shown that she is not alone in this world. Oh! I completely forgot about dolphins. Just a marvelous piece of art which took my heart. Also can't wait for the next season as it is confirmed.Was this review helpful to you?
WOW!!
I can’t speak highly enough of the show. the creators/directors/actors/actresses did an amazing job. this was my first KDrama and it made me fall in love with the Korean culture. the acting was impeccable from Park Eun Bin. She represented Autism so well. There were a few sad moments when the MC felt sad that resonated with me or how her co workers mistreated her at work. it felt so real and it was hard to watch. I originally watched English dubbed but plan to watch in Korean and read the subtitles.Was this review helpful to you?

Remarkable at its finest!
I finished watching the first four episodes and WOW! WHAT A GREAT SHOW! Park Eun bin puts on a masterful performance as expected. The scene where she's in the courtroom for the first time and she gets nervous so she decides to approach the situation by taking courage and confronting the people who are there telling them to be patient with her because she has autism spectrum disorder but still will. Her, and she will do her best because she loves the law. That scene really moved me! And we are only at the beginning! I also really liked that they included a case with LGBT, which is hard to happen in Korean series. Little by little the characters are winning my heart. I can't wait for next Wednesday. This will give something to talk about, and for good.Was this review helpful to you?
Very touching and informative
I don’t have autism or know anyone on the spectrum, but this drama has brought to light what many people don’t know. I’m very grateful they showed autism in a very informative and interesting way without overdoing it for the sake of the drama. This drama will shed light and change the way people think of others on the spectrum. It breaks my heart that they’re treated to differently when really we are all the same. Everyone should watch this drama. It’s one of the best of the year!Every week I find myself waiting so impatiently for the next episodes and it’s constantly on my mind that I even search Youtube videos, TikToks, and even twitter threads just so I can see others opinion on this very beautiful show. The cast is amazing! The acting is great! And I really hope everyone takes the opportunity to give this show a chance. I went in blind and now I’m hooked.

I have to leave a review mid-way through the drama - It's so good!
I don't write many reviews on MDL, but this drama is so good I had to write something down about it. I really don't know know much about autism spectrum disorder other than what I learned watching Love on the Spectrum. But it seems that Park Eun Bin has really nailed the portrayal of Woo Young Woo, with all the little quirks that apparently come with ASD: liking things lined up and organised, her little ritual for going through doors, etc. Her mannerisms really seem to be in line with how someone with ASD would act; if this is not the case then my apologies.The writing is also amazing. I'm really not that into the legal procedural stuff so don't have much of an opinion on that. I am mostly interested in the interactions between the various characters, and those interactions are amazing. I cannot wait to learn more about how these characters ended up where they are.
Perhaps I'm an old softie, but I find myself with tears in my eyes at least a couple times an episode; sad tears, poignant tears, happy tears, touched tears! It's been a while since a drama has played my emotions like this. The crazy thing is that it's not heavy-handed at all (or at least doesn't feel that way; perhaps the writers know exactly what they are doing!)
The last thing I'll say is that I am already rewatching episodes and I started watching this show less than a week ago. This show is crazy!

Amazing acting, amazing music, amazing story. Loving it!
A breathe of fresh air is what this show is. It will make you feel all sorts of thing. You will feel good, feel like crying, feel proud, be entertained, and I think it’s mainly thanks to the female lead.The female lead does an outstanding job in portraying someone with autism. She is the best who’s mainly carrying the show but of course the supporting characters are pretty good too.
The male lead is too cute. He is your typical nice guy character. The chemistry with the female lead he has is also very cute.
Before I started watching, I was hoping that they don’t force in a love story in this because of the female lead’s character. This could have been a story of her journey of being autistic while pursuing her dream of becoming a successful attorney. But now after seeing the male lead, I feel this will be cute. I am still not against this show not having a romantic angle. But let’s see how it goes.
The most interesting thing to look forward is *spoiler perhaps* is seeing the two women who head the law firms. I feel like one of them is her “dead” mom. But that remains to be seen.
Overall, yes. It’s a feel good must watch show which probably won’t disappoint you if you decide to give it a shot! :)

Heartwarming Addictive drama
10/10 story line & acting. I always appreciate a realistic main topic like such, not that the whole story rolls out necessarily “realistically”…. But the FL being autistic does add a sense of realism and adds twists to the plot. They did very well conveying her life story & incorporating her father and little details & habits of hers into her past and now daily life. I can’t wait to see where this drama goes. Another thing is they did well with channeling into her past and how it affects the dynamic in her daily life and with friends/family. Already loving this drama so much.Was this review helpful to you?
This show was really cheesy and corny, which a lot of Kdramas are unfortunately guilty of. Always trying too hard to pull at the viewers heartstrings and be funny. Very low brow. I said what I said!
Attorney Woo is an unrealistic portrayal of autism. With horribly exaggerated stereotypes and you could feel the main lead actress struggle to portray this character, with her forced looks and cutesy quirks. Fl seemed more slow and child-like than an actual genius. One wonders how on earth did she graduate from a top law school if she can't even walk through a revolving door smdh. Utterly ridiculous! I have noticed this same ignorant portrayal of autism in other Korean dramas. "It's okay to not be okay" anyone?? But the difference is this drama has this "autistic" character as the main lead and not a background character. And in Kdrama land that means a cringy potrayal of an over grown person acting like a 5 year old that just dropped their lolly pop for 16 excruciating episodes. Some are stronger than I, because I could not do it, and dropped this drama.
I did however skim future episodes and it looks like this show is your typical procedural law show with new cases and clients each episode. Boring! I get enough of that at home with American dramas lol. And you can tell the creators of Attorney Woo thought they were doing something different and groundbreaking. I imagine the writers meeting going something like this.
Writer A: "Let's do a procedural law show "
Writer B: "But that's typical and been done to death!"
Writer A: "But this would be a procedural with a twist. The main character is a young female lawyer, but...dunn..dunn...dunn..she's autistic!"
Writer C: "My God man, you're a genius!"
Writer A: "hehe I know." *devilish grin*
Oh and we all know a Kdrama wouldn't be a Kdrama without you guessed it ROMaNcE!! Who cares if it's thrown in as an afterthought, adding nothing to the plot. It will be forced down the viewers throat every damn time whether they like it or not, and Att. Woo is no exception. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a second couple that no one gives 2 fcks about included in this show too. But alas, I will never know...
Dropped
Rating: 1/10.

Underrated and one of the best KDrama RN!
Just basing from the first four episodes, the drama already has so much potential with the theme. The casting is amazing, and I especially love the choices for the female and male lead (who is such a green flag by the way). While it could be said that there were some instances of exaggeration and pacing issues, it still remained as a positive and honest depiction of how autism really is for many who are on the spectrum. Another thing I like about this drama is the honesty. Instead of depicting her as some sort of detached white male savant, her intelligence seems very realistic and according to how human intelligence really does function in real life, unlike some certain depictions of autism in western media. In other words, she's smart and tops her class, but she isn't unrealistically smart.I really hope the creators do this drama much more justice in the rest of the episodes, especially since this drama has so much potential to be on the hall of good K-dramas, especially with the Netflix promo, but with the quality we've seen in the first two episodes, I don't doubt it.
