i am an autistic girl and it's hard to count how much i cried watching the four episodes available on Netflix (in my country it's only 4 so far). I am a type 1 anxious autistic so i am a little different than her, but even in the drama it is explained how autism is a spectrum! But i do relate to her so so so much, i feel so happy with this drama. I couldn't stop crying when she had that little romantic scene with the other protagonist, this show really is showing how we autistic people are also humans, able to feel love, sadness, happiness, all emotions! It's so rare to see autistic representation in movies and stuff, and usually when it has it is always the same stereotype (male, never expresses any emotions, no romance or friends) when we autistic people are as diverse as neurotypicals. We really need more representation like this.

Spring Sunshine scene is one of the deepest scenes I've seen in film making. It came out of the blue. They were supposed to be joking around and things went deep down my heart in a split second. I was both in awe and tearing up. What a delicate true gem of a show. Hallyu is real.

[@barrygeistwhite3474]

It's genuinely one of my favorite scenes in the whole show. I got the impression that Su-Yeon is very used to being appreciated for her looks (and make no mistake, they're important to her too), so to have someone so directly and unabashedly lay out why they appreciate her as a person really pulled the rug out from under her. Even people who did know her on that level probably would have still complimented her appearance, but Young-Woo just doesn't even see that note and her comments hit just that much closer to home for it.

[@RossM3838]

Su Yuon and woo young were not friends in law school but still su yuon helped out woo young in many small ways that woo young deeply appreciated but was unable to express that. Here in that scene su yuon learns just how much she meant to woo young. She expected a humorous nick name based on her looks but got something she didn’t expect. Something much deeper It’s a great scene.

[@mikewilkins2030]

That scene, when she went to see her mother both times, when her brother called her big sis, and when she questioned him on the stand, when she called her dad asking can i make her bf happy, when she became friends with her best friend outside of school. Many touching moments that made me emotional!

This show is absolutely BRILLIANT. As the Father of a Son on the Autism spectrum, there is so much that Eun-bin really encapsulates, things maybe someone who is unfamiliar with Autism or a family member of an Autistic person would recognize. The fact that she never looks anyone directly in the eyes and when she does it's only for a brief second or two is something that really stood out to me immediately. I have cried so many times and laughed so many more watching this brilliant work of art. I can only attribute God for giving these amazing actors and writers the wisdom to compassionately show the truly extraordinary condition of Autism!

As a Mum of a daughter who has level 2 Autism, some of the things Woo Young Woo did made me laugh out loud & reminded me of my daughter - walking away whilst someone is talking to her, asking her to help you & she bluntky says no & walks off, the ham tasting different in gimbab & picking it out & loud noises distressing her. It's so endearing. I'm waiting for the meltdowns & masking to happen...

[@koreancelebrities8365]

[@melon8258]

As a mom of a son who also has level 2 autism, I agree!! I laughed when she was following her coworker around, info-dumping him on whales. My son does the same thing to me except he has multiple topics of interests. And I agree with you about masking. Girls are known to mask which is why it’s much trickier diagnosing girls rather than boys. This series hasn’t touched up on that but it’s still very enjoyable (and relatable) to watch.

[@danyovalle2278]

As a person who works with autistic people, I feel very happy with this drama because it has shown with delicacy and respect what it is like to live with autism. In particular I am incredibly impressed with Park Eun Bin as she has been careful with a lot of details, even in the smallest, she is admirable. Park Eun Bin is a psychologist in real life and that explains why she has so much knowledge and respect for the autism spectrum. She said that she wanted to be the first to understand and respect Woo Young Woo. In addition, she is a virtuous and prodigious actress, that is why this series has conquered hearts all over the world and is showing the authentic beauty and characteristics of these people, taking us through a delicate journey to a better understanding. When you see Park Eun Bin playing piano or violin, or riding a horse brandishing a sword interpreting a king masterfully (in the king’s afeection) you realize that you are facing an actress like few are seen in each century!!

[@jass254]

what is masking?

[@hnam528]

@@jass254 it's when autistic people observe how people socialize and try to learn and mimic what they are doing as a way to blend in with everyone else. in the process of doing so, they suppress a lot of their "autistic traits" because of their desire to fit in. girls are more likely to behave in this way (although boys can certainly do this as well) and appear "normal", which is why girls are massively underdiagnosed compared to boys.

[@gayathrin854]

The entire show from the script to the actors to the story line is just absolutely beautiful. And Park Eun Bin is like the crown jewel of it all - her ability to express so many emotions and so much meaning even in scenes where she doesn’t say any lines just blows me away. This has become my top favorite Kdrama ever.

[@evelyndavies448]

Im an autistic girl too!! This drama felt like a breath of fresh air!! I was so scared to watch it because so many times the media gets it wrong and I've felt like there is no one i can relate too when I am watching tv shows and dramas. It feels isolating and like I am constantly doing something wrong. I spent 18 years of my life undiagnosed and not knowing what was wrong with me. Then I got my diagnosis but I was just thrown into the world to figure it all out myself. When I started the show, I knew what made me autistic and how my autism makes me different, but as I've watched each episode I've found myself discovering new things about myself and its pushed me too actually learn how the disorder works on neurological level rather than just be ashamed of it and how to hide it away. The show is so articulate on all these topics it manages to cover in 16 episodes. I've never in my entire life been able to relate to a character on such a deep and sincere level. Im so forever greatful for this show and the actors did such an amazing job♡

[@kathleenmckenzie6261]

How wonderful for you that the series is so life-affirming for you. We're all scared and socially clumsy at times; no need to be ashamed. You've had many insights watching this show; continue to learn. You undoubtedly have many strengths and talents you haven't yet discovered. Everyone has something to offer. Namaste.

Wow that was so nice to see this from your perspective. And for some reason it made me cry just like Attorney Woo. Really nice. :)

as an autistic woman I was hesitant to watch this drama, after watching the horrible portrait of autistic adults on "love on the spectrum" I was worried. But these may turn out to be the best representation of Autism I've ever seen!! they get SO SO SO many things right. I myself don't resemble Woo Young-woo in many ways, but like she says in the show, it's a spectrum and we are all different.

f you enjoyed Woo, I may also suggest the French Astrid et Raphaëlle on Prime. I believe that Woo is a South Korean re-make of Astrid (no disrespect intended, countries quite frequently remake popular foreign TV shows with their own cultural spin). Astrid, like Woo, is an autistic savant but Astric helps solve crimes. You can see that Sarah Mortenson's Astrid is likely the model for Woo. Mortenson does a brilliant job as Astrid. If you enjoy Woo, I highly recommend Astrid. Both actors are remarkable in their respective roles.

[@kpaxian6044]

@andrea guevara I agree. I did not like Love on the Spectrum but I adore Extraordinary Attorney Woo. You get the feeling that the people who know her best and understand her never talk down to her. They treat her like a neurotypical but then fill her in or give her tips if she's doing something due to anxiety or her executive functioning is compromised at a certain time or whatnot. I love that because I tend to infodump when anxious too and then I often feel more anxious later. I am anxious so much of the time that I immediately clicked with her character for wearing her headphones all the time.

[@kaylawindsor3557]

“I decided not to imitate a real person or a character that already exists” 👈🏻 THIS RIGHT HERE is why the portrayal of Woo YoungWoo is truly amazing. The research and education that went into this role is so important when it comes to not portraying offensive, clichéd, and derogatory stereotypes and I think they are doing such an amazing job!!

Exactly!!! although ppl with autism can share similar characteristics, they're still individuals with their own personality. My niece with autism does similar things Attny Woo does but a lot she doesn't. The fact she made the character her own I really appreciate and respect.

[@marianacruz0]

However i think involving diverse ppl within the spectrum instead of basing the whole character off in medical criteria would’ve been ideal since currently there’s been a lot of korean autistic ppl voicing out their discomfort with the production relying on the DSM-5 description.

[@eduardoreyes2128]

The episode with the big man with autism is basically my life with my brother. Hand mannerisms, fondness of music, sensitivity to loud noises, panic attacks when brain is overloaded with information, and even his attachment to me as a big brother. I remember my parents always reminding me when I was still young, to never feel jealous, to never resent, and to understand that I will grow old with my younger brother right beside me, that our lives being intertwined is a lifetime deal. So many reminders that my future plans have been basically built around him. Sure my life is a tad bit different, a tad bit more difficult than a normal one, but I like it just the way it is.

You may find Astrid et Raphaëlle one Prime to be to your liking. I think that Woo is a take-off of Astrid, which was made in 2019. I don't mean that in a negative way. It is common for different countries to make their own spin of foreign TV shows that reflects their own cultures. Anyway, Astrid is about an autisitc records clerk with idectic memory that becomes a police consultant. Sarah Mortenson does a remarkable job as Astrid and you can see the influence that show has on Woo. Woo though I think develops a more intriguing plot, but Astrid tends to be more case oriented. Anyway, if you love Woo, I can almost guarantee that you will love Astrid et Raphaëlle.

[@kpaxian6044]

I agree. I am on the spectrum and for the first time in my life I saw a character do something I have always done but never knew was due to being autistic. (I make the same humming sound in my throat sometimes before I answer or when I am thinking. I also noticed that I do mildly repeat the words of people sometimes...but I never thought of it as echolalia. It was not scripted or thought through...it just came out as if on autopilot. Today someone was joking about her kids being all talk, and I nodded and said "all talk" but have been paying more attention to when I do this now. It's usually not a long sentence. For me it's short, sometimes said quickly and almost without thought. I find it happens more when I am stressed. So this show has taught me more about myself too. So I could never be angry about Park Eun-bin playing such a role. I do think more autistics would like to see others on the spectrum be considered but in this case it looks like it was a fantastic fit. The issue some have too is not just that a neurotypical is playing an autistic but that some who are not autistic can make a mockery of the neurotype and I think it creates anxiety. But in this case I think she was a perfect choice. Absolutely adore her character and her acting is top notch!

@@viy2959 i totally agree! it's been a while since i last watched it and since then i've had a suspicion that i'm on the spectrum, but i'm too nervous to bring it up. i've talked to my mom about me possibly having depression in the past, too, and she just told me to tell her whenever i feel upset i can talk to her. but, now i'm not comfortable talking to her about mental health stuff.. i don't know what to do.

[@bearchow1723]

Park Eun-bin is such an amazing actor for many reasons. She respects the characters that she plays. They don't come across one-dimensional to us because they are not perceived as such by her. She is able to develop a really good rapport with her costars. I've seen quite a few behind-the-scenes videos of EAW and her other drama series. She is often laughing or happily chatting with her costars. This says a lot about her ability to create an ambiance, not only as the character for the audience, but also as a fellow actor and human for the cast and crew. She is genuinely humble and frequently includes the efforts of other people in her interviews. She seems to understand well the gift and responsibility of the opportunities given to her. Her positivity and sense of appreciation comes across as sincere. She is a rare one.

You should watch “The Kings Affection” you’ll be completely in love with her, BTS of that drama are precious!

[@nelyrecano9640]

I recently watched The Kings Affection. It is a great drama. Park Eu Bin n Rowoon chemistry was great . Her acting is superb n so with Rowoon .

I thought she would hit the jackpot Her acting has the power to move hearts She is an actress with a unique aura

[@nunu_nana]

Wow, i thought she acted out her character based on her research on how people with autism behave in real life (like going to special school, or clinics where she can find people like them) but she just acted out the character by her own understanding on what's written on dsm or experts saying 🤯 yet she potrayed them really well???!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@lorrainegrace5964]

Yeah, you got it right. Also, she majored in psychology back when she was in college. That's why, she was familiar with the given diagnostic criteria (DSM) and portrayed the scenes carefully.

[@shenmisheshou7002]

I beleive that she may have studied Mortenson's role in Astrid. If you enjoyed Woo, I may also suggest the French Astrid et Raphaëlle on Prime. I believe that Woo is a South Korean re-make of Astrid (no disrespect intended, countries quite frequently remake popular foreign TV shows with their own cultural spin). Astrid, like Woo, is an autistic savant but Astric helps solve crimes. You can see that Sarah Mortenson's Astrid is likely the model for Woo. Mortenson does a brilliant job as Astrid. If you enjoy Woo, I highly recommend Astrid. Both actors are remarkable in their respective roles but I am guessing that Woo borrows heavily from Astrid, and that is not a bad thing.

[@jinxedthings5394]

[@karmajigoku]

look for her biography so you can see some of the series in which she has participated (she has been acting since she was a child)

[@kai-dp3cg]

I feel like Korean actors and actresses in general put in their all for their characters, they research it and make sure they give a proper representation of their character but not imitating another. That’s very respectable. Even to the writers, they wrote in small details that help deepen the characters plot and overall likability.

[@mincassy6922]

Not all Korean Actors, but really great actors and actresses does that, I think, no matter the nationality (?)

[@003amirashereenbintimatzak2]

@@mincassy6922 I think what she's saying is actors in Korea have no choice but to be extra hard-working because their industry is so saturated with great predecessors. You're dispensable if you're not above average. In my country for example, you just have to have a pretty face and 1 million followers on Tiktok and anyone can be the lead of a drama 😅

[@miecomari]

As an autistic person, I really loved the portrayal of the character; the little details, the management of perspective and the story itself was absolutely enjoyable from start to end.

[@magdaluxe]

As a person who grew up and is very close w a cousin and an uncle on the spectrum who are both high functioning and who work and even married (in my cousin's case!), I love this show because it shows how the world can be open to neurodivergent people with kindness and understanding. I felt so much for this entire show and can't wait for the rest. Park Eubin is a beautiful soul. Congratulations to this whole cast and crew!

[@danyovalle2278]

As a person who works with autistic people, I feel very happy with this drama because it has shown with delicacy and respect what it is like to live with autism. In particular I am incredibly impressed with Park Eun Bin as she has been careful with a lot of details, even in the smallest, she is admirable. Park Eun Bin is a psychologist in real life and that explains why she has so much knowledge and respect for the autism spectrum. She said that she wanted to be the first to understand and respect Woo Young Woo. In addition, she is a virtuous and prodigious actress, that is why this series has conquered hearts all over the world and is showing the authentic beauty and characteristics of these people, taking us through a delicate journey to a better understanding. When you see Park Eun Bin playing piano or violin, or riding a horse brandishing a sword interpreting a king masterfully (in the king’s afeection) you realize that you are facing an actress like few are seen in each century!!

[@akizenbu5591]

I just finished the entire series of Extraordinary Attorney Woo and I’d say the producer could’ve tied everything better at the end, but Park Eunbin is seriously amazing. She was never out of character even for a bit. It’s one thing to memorize the legal concepts but to couple that with having to act as someone with autism spectrum disorder is truly extraordinary. She deserves all the awards!

[@MM-TheEnd]

Loose ends were left open at the end for a reason...because there was always an intention to make another season. And...Season 2 for this series has been approved by Netflix! YAAYYY!!

[@devineordialez2323]

Her acting and the whole cast is in another level

[@dshngdna]

It's really difficult to portray a character that needs a thorough research & Park Eun Bin aced it! You can tell that she's a good actress because we can't pinpoint whether her lines are ad-libs or not. Kudos to all the casts and crew esp. the writer and director 💯🐳

[@shenmisheshou7002]

I suspect that she was heavily influenced by Sarah Mortenson's role as Astrid in Astrid et Raphaëlle, made in 2019 and currently on Prime. Woo appears to be a re-make of Astrid. That is not meant to be unkind. It is very common to have TV shows re-made to better suit different cultures and languages. Like Woo, Astrid is an autistic savant and Mortenson does an equally superb job in her role. If you have not seen Astrid, I highy recommend it. While the premise of both shows is similar, I think Woo actually does a better job with plot development, but both are brilliant shows.

I found the series "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" out of the blue on Netflix, probably because I had been searching for legal dramas. Little did I know before starting that I was on one of the best shows I've ever seen. The performances by Park Eun-bin is just exquisite and SOOO captivating. I'm no expert in autism, but can't fail to find my self engaged and forced to bring my attention the issue. Pretty much all other performances are excellent as well, and the different cases are interesting AND the multiple story plots progress nicely into an inspiring and impactful conclusion. I also got to learn a bit about South Korea which is very nice. But at the end of the day, Woo Young-Woo is such a fascinating and inspiring character full of positive inspirations. This show feels like once in a lifetime show.
