## Synopsis

Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022) is a South Korean legal drama and workplace romance series created by Moon Ji-won and Yoo In-sik for ENA, a k-drama that runs a single sixteen-episode season of roughly seventy-minute episodes. Park Eun-bin plays Woo Young-woo, a brilliant rookie lawyer with autism who joins a Seoul law firm and is determined to be judged on her merits rather than her diagnosis. Kang Tae-oh plays her colleague Lee Jun-ho, while Jeon Bae-soo plays her father Woo Gwang-ho, and the supporting ensemble includes Ha Yoon-kyung and Kang Ki-young. Each episode is built around a fresh courtroom case, from small disputes to larger social questions, and the drama uses those cases to show how her mind works and how colleagues learn to see past their assumptions. The tone is warm, funny and sincere, with a hopeful pull toward friendship and romance inside a demanding firm. Its atmosphere is bright and everyday, grounded in ordinary offices and family kitchens rather than spectacle. Fans of Ally McBeal, The Good Doctor and Strong Woman Do Bong Soon will find the same mix of quirky lead, heartfelt community and courtroom drama, and the sixteen-episode run lands as a complete, encouraging story.
