I-sang-han byeon-ho-sa U-yeong-u - Extraordinary Lawyer Woo is a Korean drama about a young woman on the Autism Disorder Spectrum who becomes a lawyer. She has a high IQ, and an amazing memory. She is ackward in social situations, and she Really likes whales. Her single father owns a noodle shop and she works there sometimes.
The series begins when she has finished school and passed the bar but she is struggling to find a law firm to hire her. I do not have enough personal experience with autism to comment on the accuracy of the way Park Eun-bin portrays the character, but in several of the reviews, I read that many Autism organizations in Korea and elsewhere have praised the accuracy of her portrayal of Lawyer Woo. It is a tele-drama so there is some background family drama and intrigue. It is an interesting look at the Korean legal system too. It is not for everyone, but I do recommend it.

Wow, great review. It also gets some very genuune and outstanding marks on IMDB for authentic portralyal of autism.

It's extraordinary in length and number of episodes as well; 16 episodes at approximately 80 minutes in length each.

Thank you for this heads-up. smiley

@DontSpeak Thank you for thinking to include a link to the show. I had just been on IMDB to make sure I spelled Park Eun-bin's name correctly, and one of the reviews had the name of the show listed as "Weird Lawyer Woo" and I guess the Lawyer part stuck in my head.

@Wander Youre welcome. Thanks for mentioning the show!

Translations are so fun: Weird Lawyer Woo. smiley
There really isn't an exact word for Autism in Korean, so the translator app had a guess and came up with that. lol

There is another Korean show about an autistic Doctor called Good Doctor. Someone in Hollywood saw it and so now there is a US show about an autistic Doctor called The Good Doctor. Pretty clever adding a The to the title. I think it is in its 6th season.
