manages to gracefully balance complex themes like autism, justice, and empathy
In 2025, I watched the drama "An Extraordinary Lawyer," which was released for streaming in 2022.
I dedicated time to this older drama because the series focuses on portraying the character's journey within the autism spectrum, respectfully addressing the daily challenges and achievements of a neurodivergent person.
Actress Park Eun-bin's performance, as the protagonist, stands out for her sensitive and realistic portrayal of Woo Young-woo, a neurodivergent woman with Level 1 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), who requires a low level of support in her daily life.
The drama combines humor, legal drama, and a message of acceptance and empathy.
Some viewers may think the series only reinforced the stereotype of "autistic geniuses" due to the protagonist's exceptional abilities and the depiction of exaggerated social difficulties. However, in my opinion, the production stood out for its representation of individuals within the neurodivergent community.
The actress delivered a profound performance as Woo Young-woo.
The series addressed the topic of autism respectfully and appropriately. In a light, serious, and educational way, this drama fosters awareness and empathy for this topic.
The drama also features a good development of the legal cases and, in my opinion, stands out for its legal accuracy and the way the episodes connect to develop the character's depth. The legal narrative of the plot is exceptional.
The series' blend of genres, combining elements of humor, drama, and romance, was balanced and effective. This detail made the drama captivating and moving.
The series' script also focused on developing the supporting characters and their relationships. The drama showcased genuine human relationships, especially the bond between the protagonist and her father, and the development of the supporting characters.
It's clear that the director took care to honestly and transparently portray the social discomfort faced by people with ASD.
In short, I recommend and will rewatch the drama "An Extraordinary Lawyer" with my friends because I find it inspiring and meaningful. This drama manages to gracefully balance complex themes like autism, justice, and empathy in a production designed for entertainment.
