Extraordinary!
The name says it all. Attorney Woo is, in fact, extraordinary. Asperger's is not an easy thing to deal with for a lot of people, but people with Asperger's aren't stupid. They know they are different and they see the way people treat them. I found this drama to be not only interesting on the legal side, but also heartwarming and emotional. I think they dealt with the matter of a woman with disabilities learning to love very well, while acknowledging that loving a person with Asperger's can be difficult. The love story, which is very much in the background so far, as well as dealing with family, friends, colleagues, and clients, is so well done. The actors are amazing. I haven't read the books, so this review is based solely on an appreciation of the series that I watched with subtitles on Netflix. So far I have watched 11 episodes and I would watch them again and again. I sometimes feel some second hand embarrassment, and they do deal with serious issues, but every episode so far has been beautifully done. I am especially pleased with how well the actress who plays Attorney Woo is able to play an Autistic woman, as well as the portrayal of her love interest. Both actors are so good. You'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll have to really think about what it means to be different in this world. I would recommend this series to anyone.
