Extraordinary Attorney Woo

Not sure what's better the Autism theme or the acting by the main lead, she is just so cute and funny in her delivering of this character, we will see how this plays out but so far its fantastic.

With 8 episodes in have to say this is the best most enjoyable KD ive seen to date. This makes good KD look average at best.

Only two hours left and a lot to sew up this should have a great finish, come on writers dont blow it now.

Good new 2nd season announced,

If there was ever a KD series that warranted 20 episodes it's this one but we only get 16.

It is very rare for me to review a series before finishing it, but this was so darn delightful that I could not stop myself sharing the good news. After 3 episodes I wrote that if you are not watching this you are missing out. Also that Eun-bin Park is simply wonderful as the autistic attorney at the centre of this drama, coping so movingly with the challenges she faces.

Having now watched the whole series my opinion has not changed. This is a joy to watch. All the usual elements of good K drama are here: fine acting, well drawn characters, believable relationships, deft plotting. I could go on: K dramas do so many things well.

But the absolute clincher is the performance of Eun-bin Park. She makes us believe in her character's difficulties. But she also makes us believe in her ability to find a path through that does not contradict her autism. You are on her side the whole series through. She managed to convey a character that struggled with emotions but also gave us those emotions. Remarkable. Utterly believable.

I am no expert on autism. I have read reviews here from those with experience of the condition both decrying and lauding the accuracy of the portrayal. Perhaps another reviewer got it right when he/she said that the condition is a spectrum, so those with experience can find that it varies considerably.

It's really interesting how Korean drama always know how to hit our heart with laughter and emotional moments.

Many series came and went but this will definitely remain with me for rest of my life.

• kudos to the team who made this possible for us to enjoy.

What a fantastic show, a heart-warming tale of a girl that sees the world in a unique way. She is brilliant, quirky and sweet. The legal issues in the first two episodes are puzzles of love presented in intricate stories with memorable characters that remind me of the work of Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amélie). I'm not a fan of drama let alone Korean drama but this show I loved. Can't wait for the next episodes on Netflix.

So in a nutshell; One to watch, you won't be disappointed!

Tired of superheroes? South Korean stuff. Bored to death by old and overused tropes? South Korean stuff. Cringing at awful acting? South Korean stuff. Vomited in your own mouth again thanks to a sophomoric script? South Korean stuff.

Weird Lawyer Woo Young Woo is the umpteenth example that South Korean TV regularly gets right the myriad things that Hollywood can't or won't do. Treat yourself to this all-around awesome series.
