Kdrama stans on this site get your pitchforks ready, because I'm going to have to rip "Extraordinary attorney Woo" a new one with this negative review.
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...
