I am not finished with the drama and still watching it...but about a season 2 and the main female lead not being…
Really? "Mentally in can't be that hard?" She said she lived everyday as if she was having exams/tests for 7 months. She was not only on the spectrum but also a genius at that. She had to memorize long lines of technical whale information, legal terms, and all... Speaking really fast. She also needed to remain in character (in terms of gesture, gaze, and body movement). Surely it must have been easily for her :)
Just using it as an excuse... Right from the beginning, the biggest burden has always been on her as the lead character.
There have been numerous k-drama with multiple seasons so it's not unrealistic.
Wow, is this a safe space for EAW fan gathering or something? If somebody raves about this drama - he's objective?…
With most of them being your fellow "haters" hiding behind the guise of ObJeCtIvE review, I can see why they'd agree with you. But like I said, at the end of the day earlier, the numbers favour this drama... and it will continue to favour it. It seems people love it for being "terrible."
I just stumbled over an interview Kang Tae-oh did where he said, "I think I have a universal personality that…
He gets more hype than the FL because he makes dem ladies feel the hots. Isn't that why there are countless popular k-actors (handsome) with subpar acting skills while their female counterparts with actual talents continue to struggle just to gain recognition?

And in a similar regard, I can now see that you're not just rude but quite idiotic too. Like I said, your bitterness changes nothing. Don't like the show, continue to cry about it.

Another one spotted @aramintai. Like I said, everyone is allowed to criticise whatever "objectively" but most of y'all are just giving silly reviews that scream "I'm bitter. I'm miserable." Giving this drama anything less than 7 in a review invalidates the criticism because it's clearly not objective.
Ultimately this drama left me feeling satisfied. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to rate it yet but I enjoyed…
"Sometimes I think people make the mistake of making EAW into something bigger than it was intended to be, I don't think the writers ever expected it to become as popular as it did, but for what it is, a quirky case-by-case court drama, it has solid writing, a solid plot, enjoyable characterisation, and careful handling of a number of topics that are still very much taboo in Korean society. Is it perfect? No. But no drama is and it made my weeks better while it aired and that is more than enough for me" - This aspect of what you said voices my opinion. Thank you!
Listen Park Eun Bin got stuck at 2nd place on Good Data Rankings while the ML got 1 for weeks for absolutely no…
Personally, I would love more bad writings like this. If we have dramas where males are just used as background for the next few years, I won't mind. After we've balanced the equation, we can finally start looking at dramas where the FLs and MLs are of equal importance.
I actually find it funny that people are complaining about the influx of female-centric this period. What is wrong with it? Actresses are still at a disadvantage in the entertainment industry. Almost in every drama, there's a female lead and two male leads. When will more women get the opportunity to shine? Even in female-centered dramas like this, y'all still find a way to make it about the man or get mad that much more focused isn't placed on him.
I love coming here to read objective reviews but it seems that is now missing. I've seen quite a number of terrible reviews from Alchemy of Souls enthusiasts and frankly its hilarious. People are allowed to love what they love and dislike what they dislike but hating a drama for being popular is just plain out of it. Calling a drama "overhyped" and giving it scores like "3/4/5" is quite childish in my opinion. Terrible reviews still won't take away from the fact that people love this drama. The numbers say so.
Frankly, this drama had its flaws but it also excelled in certain areas which I will explain in my review soon. But whatever the case may be, this drama is one of the best I have seen in recent times (for both K and non-K dramas). If you want to give this drama a shot, do so without being clouded by the positive or negative reviews. Watch it as just another drama out there and form your thoughts on it as you go.
I say it again, Extraordinary Attorney Woo is a beautiful drama that will remain in my heart for a while.

When criticizing this drama, I hope y'all remember that it was never about the plot but about the character... Not characters but just one - Woo Young Woo (everything and everyone else in the story revolved around her). We saw her navigate through life in the course of one year. It was her growth story and they nailed it. For people complaining about Jun Ho's lack of backstory. Why is his backstory of any significance if it doesn't involve Woo Young Woo in any way? Jun Ho was just as important as Jung Myung Seok, Choi Su Yeon, and Geu Rami in this story... Not more than that. No, he wasn't your typical male lead because this drama techically has only one lead - Woo Young Woo (Park Eun Bin). The cast chart here says it all - https://asianwiki.com/Extraordinary_Attorney_Woo. There's Woo Young Woo standing alone and then everyone else falling into categories such as Hanbada, Taesan, Hairy's Restaurant, etc...
While not without flaws, this drama exceeded most of my expectations.
Finally finished this and gotta say, Junho gets far too much credit and love by international Kdrama fans than…
Fact! I've never been aboard the Jun Ho green flag thing. Because technically, he aint even a main lead. Aside from being the handsome dude Woo Young Woo falls in love with, what other significance does he have? Take away Jun Ho as a character from this drama and it still won't seem like anything changed. Which is why it kind of bugged me that Park Eun Bin got stuck at #2 on Good Data Rankings for Buzz while the ML got #1 for weeks.
Also i have to say Kang tae ho is a great actor .Even though the character is pretty simple he nailed every scene.…
He ranked above Park Eun Bin in buzz polls simply because of fangirls and who can blame them? He is hot! But for the ranking that truly matters, the Korean Business Research Institute's star (sports and entertainment) brand reputation ranking, Park Eun Bin topped the overall list as well as the actors list. For the overall list, she overtook top athletes and even entertainers like IU, BTS, and BlackPink for #1. Kang Tae Oh was 10th. https://www.soompi.com/article/1538578wpp/july-star-brand-reputation-rankings-announced.
While I am yet to give a review of this drama (waiting to collect my thoughts), this drama is my best in 2022. I doubt another drama can usurp that position. EAW made me smile, laugh, get angry, reflect on life... and more. Thank you Park Eun Bin for bringing Woo Young Woo to life.
If you love Extraordinary Attorney Woo as much as I do, please vote for it here - https://kisskh.at/list/1xrDOlW3. Even amidst the negativity for this drama, it is a 10 for me cos it made it kept me happy for weeks.
