The heartwarming drama “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” is receiving huge love not only in Korea but also overseas.
ENA’s “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” depicts the story of Hanbada law firm’s new lawyer Woo Young-woo, who has a genius brain and autism spectrum disorder, solving various cases in her own way. The drama started with a low rating of 0.9% but it is rising steadily. According to the rating research company Nielsen Korea, the nationwide viewer rating of episode 6 nearly reached 10%, proving the hot popularity of “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”.
The reason why “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” is loved by so many people is the heartwarming stories. Woo Young-woo played by Park Eun-bin creates famous lines and scenes in every episode, making the viewers laugh and cry many times. Although the drama has not passed half of its journey yet, the viewers already gathered 5 famous lines that impressed them the most.
1. “My name is Woo Young-woo”
Among all the lines of Woo Young-woo, the one that stands out the most is definitely “My name is Woo Young-woo, whether it is read straight or flipped. Kayak, deed, rotator, noon, racecar, Woo Young-woo, Yeoksam Station”
Young-woo always introduces herself by listing words that have the same first and last letters and can be read in the same way even when it is flipped, like Woo Young-woo. The line that Young-woo uses to introduce herself in her unique lovely tone has become a catchphrase.
2. “Have you prepared a meal on your own?”
It’s a simple question but it might be a complicated topic for many viewers and Woo Young-woo herself. By asking “Have you prepared a meal on your own?”, the line left a great impression by making the viewers think again about whether they had already been psychological independence from their parents.
3. “The law values our minds”
This is one of the lines that highlight the heart of Woo Young-woo, who loves the law.
In the first case, Young-woo said that the crime in the law may vary depending on the mindset of the parties at the time of the accident. If you were willing to kill someone, you would be guilty of attempting murder. If you were willing to hurt someone, you would be guilty of causing injury. If you were willing to hit someone, you would be guilty of assaulting and causing injury. If you were doing it by mistake, you would be guilty of manslaughter.
Young-woo’s line “The law values our minds. The charge changes depending on what you think at the time of the accident” conveys a message telling the viewers to think differently about laws.
4. “I will give you a bouquet of flowers”
People get married at the right age and live their second life. However, marriage was never been an easy route for a female lead with autism spectrum disorder like Woo Young-woo.
The fact that Young-woo, who finds it hard to distinguish between “me and you” and “me and us”, thought about her father and excluded herself was enough to make the viewers burst into tears. As much as how considerate Young-woo is when thinking of her father in this scene, Young-woo’s father played by actor Jeon Bae-soo also understood Young-woo’s sincerity and ate all the kimbap she gave him.
5. “Spring Sunshine Soo-yeon”
The scene in episode 5 where Young-woo gives Choi Soo-yeon a nickname is definitely one of the most impressive ones.
In “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”, Ha Yoon-kyung plays Choi Soo-yeon, a new lawyer at Hanbada law firm and Woo Young-woo’s law school friend. Choi Soo-yeon is the person who helped Young-woo whenever she’s in trouble and that’s why Young-woo named her “Spring Sunshine Soo-yeon”.
“You told me where the lecture hall was, when class was canceled, and when the test material changed, You tried to stop the other students from making fun of me or bullying me. Even now, you open my water bottles for me and tell me that you’ll let me know when the cafeteria serves gimbap again. You’re a bright, warm, kind, and sweet person. You’re ‘Spring Sunshine Soo-yeon’”. Young-woo expressed her gratitude to Choi Soo-yeon in her own way.
