Season 1

Extraordinary Attorney Woo’s first season has just released and it is an enjoyable watch, beautifully depicting people on the autism spectrum and exploring subtle ways in which disabled and marginalised people may face discrimination.

Park Eun-bin’s touching portrayal of Korea’s first autistic rookie lawyer makes her character sympathetic and relatable; as she tackles law firm life and confronts an array of challenging cases. Along her journey she encounters supportive mentors, allies, adversaries – even finding love!

It deftly balances being both emotionally affecting and humorous while seamlessly transitioning between legal, workplace and romance genres – making for a show that quickly became Netflix’s most-watched non-English drama over 10 weeks – providing much needed relief in our increasingly toxic society.

Season 2

Extraordinary Attorney Woo was one of the breakout hits of 2022, following a rookie lawyer with autism as she attempts to carve her own place in law while also managing her personal relationships. Star Park Eun-bin’s performance as Woo is unparalleled.

Each episode showcases a different case that tests Young-woo’s memory and wit – as well as helping her grow in ways not immediately visible – such as developing supportive friendships among coworkers or developing romance with someone special.

Netflix has just renewed their hit show The Park Eun-bin Show for another season! Park Eun-bin and her cast have confirmed this news; however, no release date has yet been specified. Each episode will focus on more cases; expect new cast members as well.

Season 3

Extraordinary Attorney Woo’s debut season quickly become a global phenomenon, dominating Netflix’s top non-English shows for weeks. A courtroom drama featuring Park Eun-bin as a lawyer with autism spectrum disorder, this show has generated widespread praise as well as discontent across many nations around the globe.

Success of this show attests to its appeal across cultures and countries. Additionally, audiences lauded it for accurately portraying autistic people’s lived experiences.

Park’s character is both intelligent and endearing; her relationships with coworkers are strong and supportive – including an endearing romance with Hanbada litigator Lee Jun-ho who shares similar characteristics of earnestness. Furthermore, Park bonds closely with an employee with high support needs yet speaks minimally in their daily work life.

Season 4

Young-woo is continuing her legal career and dismantling prejudice with each case she takes on, including working with an autistic client who values her special approach in providing solutions.

She forms supportive friendships with Dong Geu-ra-mi whose swaggy greeting became a TikTok trend and earnest Hanbada litigator Jung-ho. The show wisely avoids turning these women into competitive adversaries but rather lets their relationships develop organically as they work together.

This drama has received widespread acclaim for including a disabled protagonist and exploring topics rarely covered on Korean television, yet some concerns have been voiced regarding its depiction of autism.

Season 5

Woo Young-woo, an adorable newcomer at an elite law firm with autism, struggles to fit in. Though her intelligent mind and photographic memory make her a capable lawyer, her social abilities are limited by differences from neurotypical peers.

While often humorous (such as Woo’s obsession with whales and her habit of leaving post-it notes for her colleagues), this show also addresses disability stereotypes head on and asserts that disabled individuals deserve dignity and respect in a world which often fails to provide such.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo is an instantaneous classic, charming audiences with its blend of legal cases, romance and workplace drama. Thanks to Park Eun-bin’s incredible performance as attorney Woo, Extraordinary Attorney Woo manages to successfully balance being both heartfelt and funny without turning its protagonist into a caricature character.
