I don’t watch K-dramas, but…

i loved attorney woo!

while simultaneously having incredibly high highs and really low lows, extraordinary attorney woo is definitely the best show i’ve seen from netflix (and, yes, i like it more than squid game). while many romance-oriented k-dramas lean on the same general formula, being a legal drama not only shakes the format up, but also provides an entirely new layer to the show that it pulls off tremendously. the cases, which are generally isolated to their own respective episodes, are pretty good at carrying the show on their own (ranging from mildly boring to incredibly clever and well-done), are the meat of the show, and work to make the show incredibly interesting—however, the *heart* of the show lies in the relationships between the characters. though the characters themselves are, for the most part, pretty flat and one-dimensional, the relationships are really what made me keep watching. seeing these characters interact, wondering what they’ll do next, and the satisfaction at the ending; i loved them all! despite a lot of slight cracks in the show, i really liked it—even to the point where, dare i say, a second season is not needed, but i would love to see more of attorney woo and lee junho.

p.s.: compared to a lot of netflix shows, this one really stood out in terms of transitions, which is an aspect of editing often overlooked. i’m glad that this was a detail heavily focused on. from a nitpicky, technical standpoint, i will say the coverage was a bit offputting, but that’s just me lol
