It is sad that the world is not more accepting of those with mental or physical handicaps. Given a chance, we find that such beings are more than capable. Everyone can contribute to the world, no matter how big or small.

If you’re like many other people who’ve seen this beloved series, you’ll find yourself immediately enamored by Attorney Woo Young Woo…no matter how it’s flipped, it reads the same! And no matter how much you try to look at Woo in a different way, she’s still her charming, cute, and beautiful self!

We all need a Woo Young Woo in our lives. Such people are often devoid of egotistical traits. There is no animosity or hatred behind their words. And when they love, they love completely. How many people in the world can claim this? We often look at people in the world like Woo Young Woo as having problems. And yet, I daresay, perhaps WE are the ones who should be more like her! Such is the purity of innocence. To have the essence and wonderment of a child. And why are children so wonderful? Because they’re like sponges who are free of shame and guilt—such traits are learned behaviors that are sadly instilled in them by parents, society, culture, religion, etc. Woo Young Woo is like being an eternal child, and that is not a bad thing! It's something we should all aspire to be.

Like very few autistic people, Woo Young Woo would be classified as a savant. Someone with incredible mental abilities to remember pretty much anything and everything. Such a skill makes Woo Young Woo an amazing asset as an attorney, despite her lack of ability to read people and understand various emotions. Sudden emotional outbursts tend to frighten her, and she’s not immediately comfortable in foreign environments. She also has an aversion to being physically touched. But don’t let these things fool you since Woo Young Woo has more charm than most people can begin to dream about.

Eun Bin Park gives a tremendous performance as Woo Young Woo. The only other characters I’ve seen that match hers were autistic performances in “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay,” and “Move To Heaven” (two more incredible Korean dramas if you’re looking for something!). Eun Bin Park will have you laughing, smiling, and occasionally tearing up with her delightful performance. She may well have given us one of the cutest characters I’ve ever seen. And yet, she also shows us the absolute brilliance of Woo Young Woo as an attorney. Yes, we’re talking about someone along the lines of a Perry Mason. But what makes her truly remarkable is her integrity; her unwillingness to compromise her values in doing what is right. How many attorneys can claim that?! Not very many, I’d wager.

And, of course, because of Woo Young Woo’s innocence, she also brings with it a childlike naivety which makes her vulnerable to those who would try to take advantage or mistreat her. It can be a bit painful sometimes to watch those scenes, as all you want to do is be like Jun-Ho and do your utmost to protect her.

Woo Young Woo describes herself once as a narwhal living among beluga whales. She knows she’s a bit peculiar to most people, but she not only learns to adapt but to accept herself as she is. I would actually go even further and say she’s like a gold nugget among lumps of coal. She’s far more precious and special than even she can comprehend or realize. And part of the charm of the show is watching those who doubted and even abused her, begin to soften and realize how precious she really is.

Another beautiful aspect of the show is the simple, and yet beautiful romance between Woo Young Woo and Jun-Ho. And the reason why it is so incredibly unique is because Jun-Ho fully accepts Woo Young Woo as she is. He never asks her to change or be anything other than who she is. In short, this is one of the rare depictions of unconditional love that many people search for, and yet very seldom find.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo is a true delight. It’s also light drama in case you’re searching for something that isn’t too heavy. And the court cases are always very intriguing to watch as we wait and see what magic Woo Young Woo is about to pull. I’ve already heard that a second Season will be made. And well, I never get tired of Woo Young Woo’s love and talk of whales. I definitely want another season of this charming and delightful show!
