📝 Review
(WARNING: Potential Spoilers — I'm Not Saving You from any Emotional Damage)
Extraordinary Attorney Woo — Park Eun Bin is a phenomenal actress. To be able to play the role she played in this drama must’ve been a challenge, but she surpassed every expectation. I loved how her fascination with whales helped her solve cases in her own way — not the traditional way, but one filled with imagination and empathy. She faced “societal normalities” head-on and still managed to shine.
Her co-stars carried that same magic. Kang Tae Oh’s smile could melt even the coldest jury, and Kang Ki Young? He lights up any screen — whether it’s a lead, a supporting role, or a fleeting cameo. Big shoutout to Moon Sang Hoon for his heartfelt role as Kim Jeong Hun, another character on the spectrum whose presence added depth and resonance.
And that greeting scene — “To the Woo Young-woo!” “Dong Geu-ra-mi!” — it’s pure serotonin. I’ve seen others copy it (and yes, I squealed when San and Mingi from ATEEZ did their own version). That’s the kind of joy this show radiates — it lingers.
I even got my mom to watch it. She loved it too. That says everything.
💭 Final Mood:
“Fell in love with the characters, laughed a ton, and now I greet people with whale facts. 10/10 would rewatch while pretending I understand Korean law.”
