I watched 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' on NETFLIX. The synopsis is about a genius attorney with an autism spectrum disorder to survive in a law firm. It is not unfamiliar. There was Good Doctor on ABC and Atypical on Netflix. It is closer to Good Doctor because of a more professional job in Protagonist. Mainly the job needs more social skills than even a surgeon, such as speaking; its point is fun to watch, and as an attorney, social bias, that is, it can be to be an attorney if you have autism. Showcasing the reliability of a lawyer with autism is crucial for a successful show.

You will watch Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix, but the original is ENA(Entertainment DNA) cable channel in South Korea. ENA stands for ENTERTAINMENT DNA and represents a comprehensive channel for dramas and entertainment. KT's Sky TV has changed its name to re-branding. The production company is AStory, KT Studio Genie, and Nangman Crew. The show is a 16-episode Wednesday-Thursday drama from 9 p.m. on Wednesday, June 29, 2022. It is written by Moon Ji-Won and directed by Yoo In-Shik.
The characters are the Law firm Hanbada family, and Woo Young Woo's relates. Park Eun-Bin(Stove league, Hello, My Twenties!) as Woo Young-Woo, who graduated from Seoul National University School of Law and genius lawyer in the law firm, Hanbada but autism spectrum disorder. Kang Tae-Oh(Run On) as Lee Joon-Ho, staff for legal affairs and lawsuits in Hanbada. Kang Ki-Young(What's Wrong with Secretary Kim) is as Jung Myung-Seok who is senior lawyer in Hanbada.
Baek Ji-Won as Han Seon-Young, who is a representative attorney in Hanbada. Ha Yoon-Kyung as Choi Soo-Yeon, who is Woo's colleague in Hanbada. Joo Hyun-Young as Dongrami, who is Woo's best friend. Jeon Bae-Soo as Woo Gwang-Ho, Woo's father, owns a kimbap store after graduating from Seoul National University(law). Joo Jong-hyuk as Kwon Min-soo, who is Choi Soo-Yeon and Woo's colleague. Im Sung-Jae as Kim Min-Shik, who owns a pub. Jin Kyung as Tae Soo-Mi is a partner lawyer in Taesan, a rival law firm of Hanbada.
The drama begins with Woo Young-woo's childish and eccentric narration, focusing on the process of taking on and fixing new cases per episode. In the first episode, Woo's first case relates to her past. At the end of the first episode, the scene where Han Sun-young, a representative lawyer, meets Woo Kwang-Ho, Woo Young-Woo's father, makes you guess what kind of relationship the two have.
In the second episode, there is an extraordinary lawsuit caused by the bride's wedding dress being taken off while she was walking at the wedding hall, and the actress who played the role of the bride seems like a little bit Shin Se-Kyung. She is the actress Ha-young (real name Ahn Ha-Young), and she debuted as Dr. Prisner and appeared in SBS' "I'll Be Your Night" (Choi Ji-Yeon) and "Breaking Up" (Jung So-Young).
Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Overall, it seems like Atypical in terms of skillfully utilizing the sound in a comical scene. In a scene where she solved the first case and hugged the client, Jung Myung-Seok, a senior lawyer, looked at the moment with satisfaction. It reminded me of a Good Doctor's scene. I've only watched the first and second episodes; It feels like watching a legal comedy with a bright and steadfast protagonist. On the other hand, there has yet to be a severe part of dealing with the conflict situation in which the protagonist with autism encounters social prejudice in the field.
