Spectacularly acted, thoughtfully written, and comforting to watch. This drama comes into contact with controversial topics, but still bleeds optimism. It’s showing us what the world could look like instead of defaulting to “gritty realism,” and opens up our perspectives — not only do we learn about Attorney Woo, but we also learn about defendants and plaintiffs who all have their own stake in life…we learn about what drives and motivates Attorneys Jung, Kwon, and Choi as well.

Though the episodes become a tad bit boring towards the end, it’s a steadily building rhythm to a resolution. Youngwoo’s character arc is allowing herself to feel extraordinary — knowing that it can be painful, but valuable and beautiful. She doesn’t have to undergo change, and conquer others, but only forgive herself. It’s a really thoughtfully written story.

And PROPS to Park Eunbin for such a spectacular performance. I really appreciate her approach of not simply trying to “play a person with autism spectrum disorder” or “imitate an autistic person,” but rather tell Woo Youngwoo’s unique story, and treating her as a whole and individual character with her own idiosyncrasies.

Great drama, and although it could be called a little too perfect, it’s a world I want to live in.
