After episode 12 aired, suspicions of Park Won Soon's involvement spread Haja Center was established in 1999 by the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

 

Suspicion is spreading online that the 12th episode of the popular drama Exraordinary Attorney Woo was related to former Seoul Mayor Park Won Soon.

 

A YouTuber raised a related theory on his YouTube channel, which has 1 million subscribers, saying, "It has been revealed that the writer of this drama is a graduate of the alternative school Haja Center."

 

Letting go of the subjective judgment among these claims, we examined the suspicions that can be checked with objective data.

The claimation that former Mayor Park Won Soon established the Haja Center is not true. Haja Center is a youth vocational experience center established by the Seoul Metropolitan Government in December 1999. It was launched as a new concept youth space combining culture and play at the Nambu Working Youth Center in Yeongdeungpo-gu. At that time, the Yonsei University Youth Culture Center was selected through a 10-to-1 competition for the Seoul competition project, and was jointly operated with the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

Criticism pouring down on 'Woo Young Woo' webtoon.

While the popularity of ENA's Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Strange Lawyer Woo Young Woo' is not fading. The webtoon, which was expected to have a synergistic effect, is being criticized. The charm of the character was also halved when Park Eun Bin, who delicately portrayed the unique tone, hand gestures and gaze processing of Woo Young Woo, an extraordinary attorney with an autism spectrum, disappeared. The plot, which is very similar to the original, also did not interest the readers.

'Strange Lawyer Woo Young Woo' received a warm response by recording the highest viewership ratings on Korean Netflix and the ENA channel in the first two episodes after it aired. It was expected that the webtoon aimed at the 1029 mobile native generation.

I watched it live so I will put some quick recaps here fr what I caught. But bottom line is that JMS is really ill and we find out his backstory of a broken marriage because he worked so hard that he never paid attention to his marriage. And YW did meet JH's sister & bro-in law who wasn't too pleased he was dating her. They felt it would not bring him happiness and YW who had overheard it. 
So in the preview JMS passed out & YW thinking of JH's happiness feels it would be better not to date. :cry:

 

My Eps 13 recaps on my twitter - I watched it raw so some parts I may have missed. But the jisc is there.

Episode 13

 

Ughhhhh, that was sooooo angsty! I feel slightly sick from watching to be honest due to anxiety :cry: I mean, I was expecting it given episode 12 and the previews, but this still went down the dark path I didn't want to go down.

 

The good:

- Even though it was a dark episode, the series has still managed to retain it's warmth this whole time and of course, it's nice to see WYW+JH still the same after their conversation. JH was so adorable when he looked forward to seeing her come in and then he was also really adorable when he was pouting that he was still hurt. :BulbaOWO:

- I also really appreciate that JH did not back down to his sister and was fighting for his right to date who he wanted :heart: I can see the break up will be WYW 's initation though and I don't blame her after what she overheard  :letalQQ:

- I think this episode had a lot of lessons about not being so obsessed with work and appreciating life outside of work :MewHi:

-Haha, it's the first episode I actually enjoyed watching Min Woo in. Sure, he's a jerk but it's a bit like the monk said...there are a lot of things you can't see from the surface, and I guess there were pressures and reasons Min Woo became who he was. And honestly my favourite moment in the whole episode was not a WYW+JH moment, but actually a SY+MW moment...especially this moment: :laugh:

 

 

The Bad:

- Ughhhh Myeong Seok is really really sick :lettalKWA: I hope they don't kill him off. I suspect it's actually just a catalyst for WYW hitting Hanbada in the end and going down a different path. But Still! 

- I wish there were more deeper moments between WYW and JH. It felt a little unresolved, with little bits of comic relief like her first place ride and then there was tension...so I don't know if I felt as happy about the progression this episode. But I understand they were making time to shed some light on some of the other side characters and it's a fine balance to do everything along with have a case iin the middle :thinking:

- Ughhh, the meeting with the older sister was so painful on so many levels. I was cringing from stress and akwardness. The judgement from the sister, WYW's painful attempts to impress her, JH's confusion :psweatduck:

- The trailer! What is this talk about a breakup! :letalQQ:

The crisis of the Hanbada family was drawn, such as Attorney Woo's decision to break up and Kang Ki Young's health problems.

 

In the 13th episode of ENA's Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' (script written by Moon Ji Won, directed by Yoo In Sik), which was aired on the 10th, the Hanbada family went on a business trip to Jeju Island, taking charge of the collection of cultural property admission fees. Afterwards, during the trial, Kang Ki Young complained of abdominal pain and collapsed.

Episode 13 (Again)

 

I was bothered while I watched the episode, but I couldn't quite verbalise in what ways..and I tried to be positive about the parts I thought were ok after I finished watching (which was at like 3am).. But the more I thought about it, the more I understood why. I ended up writing this on reddit which I've pasted below:

 

I felt episode 13 had a number of issues: poor pacing, character inconsistencies & exaggerations and the focus of an unncessary secondary romance to replace the first one, insead of developing the first romance properly. Don't get me wrong, there were elements of the story that were still warm and funny. But overall, the more I thought about it, the more I felt meh about this particular episode. :nervous:

 

Pacing: With 3 more episodes to go, I feel like the drama has introduced a number of diffiicult story elements to tie up . The more ideas are introduced, the more time needs to be dedicated to each storyline to give them justice. The whole scheme with Min Woo and the mum has been up in the air and you don't know if it'll actually happen although MW was doing illegal things to try to get YW to quit.They haven't progressed or resolved hat storyline yet, but now they're wasting his screen time to give him an unneeded romance. This doesn't advance the original storyline and even worse takes away from the time that could be used for YW & JH. The introduction of Myeong Seok's illness also felt ominous to me. If it's too serious, it's going to be a tragedy, if it's just a minor health scare, ir's going to feel like they were tricking the audience and wasting time. It also feels odd to have spent many episodes not giving much development to the side characters, because they are there to support Young Woo's journey, only to have Young Woo's journey paused and their's put into the spotlight. It just feels...a little half baked for both Young Woo and each of the side characters since it didn't happen right from the start. If they wanted to develop the side chracters, it would have made sense to pace the stories together.:shocked:

 

Character inconsistencies & exaggerations: I love Woo Young Woo + Jun Ho. I think Jun Ho is such a great, empathetic male lead character and I'm a big fan of Kang Tae Oh as well. But it seemed really inconsistent that he didn't tell his sister to prepare kimbap for WYW, knowing full well she doesn't eat anything else? I thought that if they wanted to show conflict with the sister there could have been other ways ie. if Jun Ho gave her a lunchbox of kimbap and the sister took offence as WYW not trying her cooking. But it seemed like a weird way to force a reason for Jun Ho to have an argument with his sister when this problem could easily be solved by prearranging kimbap - and we know Jun Ho is good at thinking ahead since he researched what to do in en emergency...? But even with Woo Young Woo's character and her best friend's character, I felt like they were reduced to single traits = ie. WYW = whales, Geurami = acting very childish. It made me a little sad because I usually love the characters, but I didn't feel like they were their normal selves this episode? :letalQQ:

 

The focus of an unnecessary secondary romance to replace the first one: This drives me a little mad as it seems to happen in every second drama: They decide to develop the romance of some second or third leads and break up the main couple. Then the second leads either do very romantic things or get married...whereas the main leads are seperated for the last few episodes until 5 minutes at the very end after a 5 year time jump! I don't understand why this happens, but it's a waste of time because very few, if any, people care about that side romance and it's a waste of story-telling time when you could be showing the healthy and relistic development of the main character's relationships, instead of making them do weird, rushed things like avoid each other or deny they were together. It's frustrating to have to watch 'compensation' romances when you could have the real thing :HaunterOK:

@Min86 @JenL @twink_twink_ did you guys watch eps 14 yet... I am so sad...because I think realistically it isn't easy for Jun Ho ...but I feel JMS's advice to him not to give up is good. But at what cost? I want to know what YW is thinking too. 

Cries ....

Jen , I think with regards to JMS - looks like they managed to solve it. At least his ex wife came back & I think his issue is closed. I still don't like the SY - MW love line they are trying to push. Yikes!

I haven't seen it yet...15 mins till netflix drops it here. Haha since I haven't cancelled my subscription yet, better make use ot it :pandahehe:

BUT I did see a clip of the breakup scene released and it looked very very lonely. I didn't understand without subs, but already I feel like I'm going to be so sad for him because it sucks to feel so deeply for someone but to have a lot of uncertainty because they can't respond to your emotional needs as well as you need them to...and it's not because they don't want to, or don't feel the same way about you, but they don't necessarily have the ability to do it. :letalQQ:

 

Honestly, watching this has made me grateful that I am pretty good at reading people and understanding emotions. I think we take these things for granted because we do them so naturally. The thought of not being able to read between the lines or to engage with people's feelings really scares me actually - I felt so sad and uncomfortable when WYW met JH's sister.:psweatduck:

 

Anyway, be back wth more thoughts after I watch this. I really hope there's a happy ending. If not, this year might be one of the weirdest years for romances where most of the really big, popular series caused deep heartbreak for fans. I will just go into denial about the last half of this series the same way I did with DDSSLLS :laugh: It's the only way i cope with all the Kdrama traumas :idk:

I just knew that woman would hurt YW as long as she can take TaeSumi out of the power race. UGH!!! Ever since the first episode she's been plotting to do that. I understand why YW's dad is letting her but tbh, I am a little annoyed bc YW has no idea how she's being used!

There is a lot of interest in actress Park Eun Bin.

 

Park Eun Bin, the main character of the ENA channel Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' (directed by Yoo In Sik, script written by Moon Ji Won, production A-Story, KT Studio Genie, and Romantic Crew), which is gaining popularity this summer, has been at the center of the topic.  

 

Park Eun Bin, who completely disassembled into 'Woo Young Woo' from the first broadcast and aroused admiration from viewers, is well-received for portraying the character's growth in a denser manner as the episode progresses. The effort brave and acting skills that she has accumulated sincerely through various works to meet her sincerity by showing synergy and shine. Woo Young Woo's survival story at a large law firm. Park Eun Bin is completing the situation that delivers both fun and emotion to viewers by giving warm emotions, pleasant laughter and special excitement.

Me . Cannot understand where this is going. I hope there's some sort of plot twist to this.

 

As sad as the break-up was , I think it was important because JH's feelings too needed to be considered.I was happy to see him angry because finally we can see he also has limits to his patience. That makes him human & relatable. I don't agree with comments out there that this is YW's fault.  For YW this is how she will always be processing things , and so JH needs to honestly ask himself if he can truly be in this relationship.  In many relationships, one party does give more so to speak. And in their case, JH will have to think if he is okay that his own feelings & needs may have to take a backseat.

 

I hope JMS's advice to him to hold on & not give up will speak to him some how. And perhaps slowly YW can also learn to share her feelings with him. I know she chose this because she felt bad about making him lonely. It is a form of noble idiocy but I can see she did it because she does care for him. 

They had a special interview  with the leads on Naver Now. PEB could not attend due to schedule clash.

Ahhh thanks for sharing! :heart::heart::heart:  Looking forward to his solo photoshoot! I was hoping for a shoot with both PEB and KTO even though it was very late because it still happened for My Liberation Notes, but I know these things are rare if they don't happen at the start, especially now that they have a busier schedule. I'll never understand who they give photoshoots to and why because a lot of popular dramas get passed over, whereas a lot of mid tier dramas get photoshoots and they only end up being liked averagely? :idk:

Hmmm, I think yes because it'd be too much to kill him off! Also I think the just introduced this subplot to make viewers hang on and watch what would happen in the last episodes. It still makes me a bit nervous since WYW talks about the death rate, but I also realise that she's just being direct and factual as she often is and they're probably also conveninently putting those lines in to make viewers continue watching as well (aside from the cliffhanger in the main relationship). :idk:

This is so annoying. Honestly, I wanted her to be a good character since she talked Myeong Seok into accepting WYW. But her actions are so selfish and manipulative that it's gross. It's her, Min Woo and Tae Sumi that are just the worst in this show :mad: While I don't agree with dad letting her be used, I also see why he did that because he's desperate to secure some sort of security for her. But I don't know if it makes sense because wouldn't he be worried about what Tae Sumi would do if she got dethroned? It's putting YW in danger too. But I guess people don't think about these things when they're desperate. :idk:

Hahaha I think given that they're holding a fan meet for the finale episode with the actual actors and directors present with fans, it's unlikely that it will be a 2521 style ending. People would be outraged! I think it'll either be a happy ending or a happily implied open ending. Personally, I would prefer a happy ending for this series. But I just don't know how it'll pan out in execution with the pacing of the series...I feel like they wasted episode 13. Episode 14 (which I'll write about soon) was back in terms of pacing and I accepted the way the break up was shown because it was needed to give some realism to the series, but because of wasted time from last ep, it still means less time to resolve some very big story points (ie. WYW's reveal as TSM's daughter, what she'll decide to do abt her job, MW's plotting) including also some newer plots they suddenly introduced (ie. Myeong Seok's illness, SY+ MW's thing), so there's not a great deal of time to iron out all of the nuances with YW + JH.. Even if it gets a happy ending, it could still feel rushed which won't be as satisfying. :letalQQ:

 

But with this said, I'm willing to take a happy ending in any way at the moment because I think I'm too invested now, I love PEB + KTO / WYW + LJH too much and I'm just so anxious about them splitting up :psweatduck::heart:

Is anyone else still bothered by the writers attempt to pair YS and Minwoo? I can't stand it!

Me . Cannot understand where this is going. I hope there's some sort of plot twist to this.

 

Ughhhh, MW's character. I really dislike him, but I'm ok with redemption arc since he's a more complicated character than say Hanbada CEO. I think the shock he felt when he saw TSM want to sabotage her own daughter made me think he's not all bad...but then he was horrible and nearly got WYW into huge trouble in the next episode :shocked: But then they shed some light on his background, it also felt complicated again and since they've bothered this far, they may as well have him turn a leaf. But I think he needs to be punished first and take responsibility for being a bad person / doing illegal things.

 

With that said, I did still think that in episode 13 when everything felt depressing, MW's scenes were the funniest and I couldn't help but enjoy that religious/ Blackpink scene. Hahaha. Oh and when he's JH's support system.. That's the only time I find him useful :idk: 

 

In terms of the MW-SY romance, I'm not supporting it either. At the start I was indifferent - I guess my thoughts are it's not like they didn't hint as it early on.But then MW turned out to be so rotten by crossing 2 important ethical lines: 1) with the bulletin board 2) with the illegal actions of sending those doc so it's very hard to care about him having a love line. And then SY's character has been so cool and nice and on her own journey. And because they didn't consistently establish anything between the 2 of them anyway throughout the series, now it seems forced and sudden. Also, was it just me, or did everyone else think that SY's list of reasons why MW was 'nice' sounded really bland? Sure JH's character is exceptionally empathetic and kind, but I wasn't even measuring using that yardstick....But things like buying flowers from an old lady or seeing a bug in her cup and changing it....um, I think it's passably nice, but not anything that is worth developing a crush on...or at least you would need A LOT of these moments (not just a week's trip) before you decide it's a real crush? Unlike JH + YW who ate lunch daily and hung out, I didn't even think MW and SY spent that much time together outside of work anyway? :idk: 

 

But if they go down that storyline, honestly it's not even the pairing that bothers me as it does with other people, it's the waste of time suddenly promoting a second pairiing rather than speanding story telling time examining and fixing the story for the main couple. It's so pointless because we didn't watch this series for everyone to get into a couple - we watched it for the first couple. And there's so much work that needs to happen before the main couple get into a comfortable stage of their relationship. Instead, it's going to get wasted on promoting a half baked second lead romance which overtakes the main romance. I just want the first couple to have a proper development, not this time-wasting subplot.

I think so too . PEB did say it would be a warm ending or something right . Anyway, these days I’ve learned to manage my expectations. 🤣🤣. Got burnt many times knowing how some writers want to show the realistic route 

 

Waiting for someone to sub this. I’m still so sad he’s enlisting when he’s hitting such a big momentum career wise

😭😭😭

As much as the drama's hot popularity, their airport arrival and departure fashion also drew attention.
