'Woo' gets mixed reviews from people who know about autism
July 22, 2022 Joongang Daily
BY LIM JEONG-WON
The main character in "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" is an autistic genius who is just high functioning enough to practice law, in court.
For KT Studio Genie and distributors Netflix and ENA, it's been great. For people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and those who study it, the series has brought recognition and understanding, and a degree of concern.
In the show, a young lawyer named Woo Young-woo, portrayed by actress Park Eun-bin, has Savant Syndrome, a rare condition in which a person with a developmental disorder such as ASD has exceptional abilities or talent. Woo is described in the show as a genius, who can memorize entire books and recall and analyze complex sets of information easily.
