What We Think

‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ dabbles in modern buzzwords like neurodiversity, but ultimately delivers a sincere story rooted in traditional cultural and family values. It’s far from the wokest fare out there, but you’ll notice a mild aftertaste of contemporary ideological focus.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The show centers on an autistic female attorney, which some may interpret as ticking identity boxes; however, Woo Young-woo’s personality, skills, and struggles are central rather than her gender or diagnosis. The story generally avoids heavy-handed messaging, but a whiff of contemporary identity focus is there.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Family, tradition, and professional hierarchy play significant roles. Korean cultural values and family dynamics are depicted with respect, and there’s little subversion of masculinity or religious mores. The show mostly operates within a traditional framework and doesn't aggressively undermine cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

While progressive themes of acceptance and neurodiversity are present, dissenting or less politically correct perspectives are not completely villainized , most characters are given nuance, and internal conflict is explored. The worldview isn’t monolithic but leans toward modern values.
