#ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo on #Netflix is so lovely!

@MisuseCase

I have seen all 3 of the recent #kdramas where there is a character whose behaviour appears somewhere on the austism spectrum. *Apologies to anyone if my terminology is incorrect.

IK from reading a translated article that Oh Jung-Se, who played Sang Tae in #It'sOkayToNotBeOkay, spent some time observing and interacting with people with #autism before the filming of the drama. He wanted to be as natural as possible.

There are of course varying degrees of autism so I don't really think 1 portrayal is better than another. And each of the dramas has the character serving a particular purpose. IOTNBO was the first recent drama to feature a character with autism. Other dramas quickly followed. Of the 3 aforementioned dramas, the brother in #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo is really a side character. IOTNBO and #CrashCourseInRomance both have the actors as main characters.

If I had to say it, then personally I liked Oh Jung-Se's portrayal the best. I cried and I cheered for that character as he grew to understand and be understood.

A couple of yours are on my “To Watch” list. I’ll have to check out the others.Thanks.

I finished #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo today! I loved it so much!!
It jumped to my top list of favourite shows 🥰

I've also been watching an episode or two of #ThirtyNine before bed
It's a very lovely show, very heavy but so well done! 😍

#KDrama

I finished Crash Landing On You yesterday and I wanted something bit lighter so I went with Extraordinary Attorney Woo!
I'm just finishing my first episode and I love it so much! :awwwblob:
As an autistic person it makes me so happy to see Autism portrait more in shows and movies.
It might not be the most accurate presentation but good nonetheless :D and it this case really entertaining :blobcatbigfan:

@jane23c
Does it need to be a film or is a series fine?

I was introduced with Extraordinary Attorney Woo and I thought it was a great intro.

#kDrama #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo

Watched #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo on @gallifreygal ‘s recommendation, and it was so wonderful! Some excellent courtroom nerdery, a great lead among a really engaging cast of side characters, and the sweetest love story ever! Also did a great job of portraying someone with #autism , imo, I certainly recognised myself many times 😁

I'm currently watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo on #Netflix and am thoroughly enjoying it. It's a Korean series, with very strong #TheGoodDoctor vibes (also based on a Korean series) and is charming, gentle, quirky and funny. Trouble is brewing for the autistic young attorney in the shape of an ambitious and bitter rival..

The poem that Attorney Ryu Jae-sook read made me tear up, especially this stanza:

"As if it knows its mission,
A briquette burns endlessly
Once its body catches fire, but
I was oblivious even when I had
warm rice and soup every day."

I have a feeling there was a first draft of the title translation, of which the first letters were the same backward and forward #WeirdLawyerWoo, but that it was later replaced by a more politically correct/less derogatory one #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo.

If you can't find me, it's because I've dissolved into a puddle of tears after watching episode 6 of Extraordinary Attorney Woo. The power of K-Drama writers to have me in an emotional chokehold! 😭

On another note, thanks to Young-woo, I now have an interest in whales. 🐳

Daaaaang, Tae Su-Mi is a real b*tch! Episode 10 is a friggin' roller coaster ride. #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo

@AnonymooseGuy It was so good! I am glad they are resisting the pressure to add more episodes to the story. The arc was excellent and the actress is ready to move on. Playing an autistic character was emotionally challenging and she is understandably proud of her work and ready to do other things. I so respect that more than US style 'add more episodes even if it destroys the quality' #greed

So what are folks streaming? A recommendation: #Astrid, on #PBS; we use Passport, a limited Canadian option. If you liked #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo on #Netflix, you'll like this one; she's an autistic criminal archivist in Paris. I've learned something about US, the "neurotypicals" or "NTs" as we're called. Entertaining AND educational.

This damn #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo keeps squeezing tears outta me 🥲 I always get emotional watching shows where the lead person is on the spectrum.
I guess no matter how old you are… you appreciate seeing some semblance of recognition and representation.

Even if there is ofc dramatized aspects, like any tv show, it is a show that does touch somewhere for me as a #neurodivergent individual. #kdrama

@SteffieEffie #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo was delightful.
