A journey towards self-discovery

What you see isn't everything. Don't be blinded by what you can see. Keep in mind the essence of what lies beyond that.

This is indeed a story about Woo Young-woo, an autistic trying to navigate through life while working as a lawyer in Hanbada Law Firm. All the cases and interaction among the characters help Young-woo grows and understands herself and the world around her better. Not only Young-woo, but other characters are also shown to have a better understanding of themselves by the end of the series. Though some are less noticeable.

The process of watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo had been enjoyable and enlightening. As with other shows I watch, I went in and out of internet forums to read discussions. As expected from a series tackling various controversial issues and topics, there is ongoing debate regarding the accuracy and appropriateness of the approach. And through the stories and opinions shared by autistic people or those living with them, I gained different perspectives for me to ponder on.

So, after actively engaging myself into the discussions, I can say that I'm satisfied with how it's wrapped up. All of the characters' stories are addressed accordingly. At least I don't have to wait for any issue to be resolved in the next 2 years if season 2 does happen. I personally like how the series use the cases to build a story for Young-woo and the characters to reflect on themselves. The resolution is not always explicitly shown, some are hinted at (I'll probably write a separate piece about this later), and this is what makes the watching process particularly interesting for me.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoy watching the journey of Extraordinary Attorney Woo and her loved ones, including the whale trivia.
