Netflix’s latest k-drama offering is Extraordinary Attorney Woo, a charming dramedy about a young woman with an autism spectrum disorder joining a big law firm and facing a fair helping of irrational prejudice alongside her legal cases.
Here’s where we’re at:
Episode 11: “Today’s episode of Extraordinary Attorney Woo feels a bit lighter than some of the recent ones, like it’s letting off the gas a little. Usually, that’d be a criticism, but “Mr. Salt, Ms. Pepper and Attorney Soy Sauce” fills the spaces left by a less-intense-than-usual case with subtle character development and charming romance. If anything, it feels like the case, which is about a poverty-stricken man named Il-su being ripped off over a lottery in a gambling den, is getting in the way of the good stuff.”
Episode 12: “You’ve probably heard the words “gender equality” and “patriarchy” more in the last couple of years than in the rest of your life combined, so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that a show concerned with relevant social issues would land on the subject eventually.”
Extraordinary Attorney Woo season 1, episodes 13 & 14 release date
Extraordinary Attorney Woo episode 13 is slated to air on Wednesday, August 10, with Extraordinary Attorney Woo episode 14 airing the day after, on Thursday, August 11.
Where to watch Extraordinary Attorney Woo online
