Autism is my superpower the K-Drama
Upon my girlfriend's recommendation, we decided to give "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" a try, considering my personal connection to autism and my previous aspirations of becoming a lawyer.
Regrettably, the show fell short of expectations, offering a rather mundane and formulaic narrative that felt overly familiar. The storytelling lacked originality, and the exaggerated performances, especially in portraying autism, demonstrated a notable lack of nuanced understanding on the part of the writers. From the outset, Woo's characterization, initially hinting at ADHD, left me questioning the logic of whales mysteriously moving appearing in her room in the morning— a perplexing detail that was never adequately explained. The ensuing surprise at her dating someone suggested a peculiar solitude, given the apparent absence of guests in her space.
The romantic interest's age seemed incongruent with the main character's presumed youth, creating an additional layer of inconsistency. Character development was largely absent until the final episode, where seemingly inconsequential figures suddenly emerged to champion Woo, leading to yet another predictable victory achieved through her distinctive approach to handling cases.
The repetitive structure of the show, featuring quirky scenes, over stimming herself at work, filler content, and the resolution of cases through Woo's autism "powers," became a monotonous cycle, causing me to doze off multiple times during viewing.
The supposed "twists" in the storyline felt forced and unrelated, akin to discovering a family pet has cancer while simultaneously learning about an aunt's sexual orientation—interesting on its own, but bewildering in the context of the overarching narrative. The revelation about the protagonist's brother possessing autism-related hacking abilities was particularly amusing, as there was no prior indication or buildup to such a revelation.
Curiously, the genetic inconsistency within the family—where the mother seemingly lacked autism despite having two children with different partners who both exhibited ASD—further strained the credibility of the show.
In conclusion, those who claim genuine enjoyment of "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" might be overlooking its shortcomings, and perhaps a more discerning exploration of media with depth and substance is warranted.
