I had tears in my eyes when Young-woo called Su-yeon spring sunshine.
At the beginning of the series I still thought that Su-yeon would just be the jealous colleague, but the friendship that develops is all the more beautiful.

"My man has fallen so hard, and I’m going to need him to never get up again" x100 yes to this!!!

they are already talking about other things besides whales when they're together <3 also WYW """correcting""" geurami saying the handsome guy is lee junho lol

kang taeoh was not lying when he said that this character was all about acting the subtle, small expressions and looks. and he's killing it. (small note: I think its funny how park eunbin has already acted with 2 of 5 guys from 5urprise, that actor-idol group fom fantagio. and I can totally see her working with seo kangjoon and gong myung in the future)

in ep 6's case of the week, I loved how they showed the different aspects to attorney choi and youngwoo with their """trial style"". the show didn't say one is good or bad, but just two different ways to achieve your goals. and the story itself made me wonder if part of youngwoo's fascination with whales has something to do with the whole thing with her mother.

we didn't get a lot of OTP moments together, but there was obvious development on that front with junho's basically realizing/accepting that he likes her. I'm super curious to see this happening with youngwoo and it looks like we will get that soon considering the previews. and that annyoying friend will have the shock of his life when he finally finds out lol

extraordinary woo has everything to be one of my all-time favorite korean dramas, with misaeng, I think. don't wanna jinx it, but I'm already too invested in everything that it's difficult to see anything that could make a u-turn in my enjoyment tbh. maybe the mom storyline, but for now the writers have shown they have enough sensibility to develop the storylines so I'm confident it will be well done.

huge congrats to everyone involved in making this drama happen! so happy to see the huge jump they got in ratings and wishing even more bcs good and well done work always deserve recognition.

I cried so much when young woo said that if she would have been a baby whale, her mother would have not abandoned her... ohh my heart... I was not abandoned as a child, but my mother treated me so bad, I remember I had fantasies about suddenly being adopted... I wish I could have been adopted... I still wish I could have even now.
More terrible than being abandoned is to have a child next to you, and hate that child for no reason, ascend mistreat that child as to cause him/her so much psychological damage, that it destroys his/her whole self-esteem... that's what happened to me... And the child inside of me still cries for that, even now.
If I would have been a baby whale...

On a brighter side, I love Jun-ho soooo much! My dog's name is also Jun-ho 😍🐕
I love my baby!
Pity we didn't see so much of Jun-ho through these two episodes, but I hope he will confess very soon!!!
I know this show is not focused on the romance, but I need a little bit of romance anyways!
Come on, show... young woo can be an excellent attorney and yet have a boyfriend 😅😅😅😅

I really liked the case of the episode 5. Being a lawyer means to work for your clients. Neither Min-Woo, neither Young-Woo can choose their clients, they're only employee. So it's frustrating because they know that their client is lying but in the same time, they can't do anything about it.

Min-Woo was a jerk to not tell her about their case. But after that he was pretty honest with her, he wants the job. But he should be careful because his petty competition could harm the client. I think Min-Woo brings the harsh reality in Young-Woo's world.

It was nice to see in the second the opposite with Su-Yeon and Young-Woo bonding to help their client. The "whoa whoa" didn't really work :p I hope Su-Yeon won't change because she's jealous of Jun-Ho's love for Young-Woo.

So I thought the CEO Tae Su-Mi could be the mother of Jun-Ho, I guess I was wrong, I don't see the story becoming a makjang 😅

Jun-Ho is kinda a mystery for now. But I love every scene they share!

Who else knew ki young idea of making woo young the peace maker was gonna backfire,I knew she was going to get more invested than su yeon, and I actually stand corrected,I was totally expecting su yeon to be a 'bitch', but seeing her all protective of woo young? That was all shades of nice

oh another thing... I would love to know other beanies opinion about the deleted scene that korea twitter (???) account shared? I mean.. I loved the scene and I can understand why they would delete it to keep the mood for the end of episode 5, but I dont understand the decision to share it with the audience considering the storyline decisions they did about junho's present in itself. I think it makes us a bit confused in a way lol

Ahhh so many amazing moments this week!
I didn't care much for the court case in ep 5, but I did care A LOT about what it represented for Young-woo. The metaphor with the sunflower was hardly subtle, but I still got teary-eyed when YW took it down and replaced it with the letter, deciding what kind of lawyer she wanted to be 🥺

My other favorite moment was Spring Sunshine Su-yeon getting her nickname, and if you say you didn't tear up - stop lying, it's not nice 😤

Our OTP didn't get a lot of screentime this week but what we did get was meaningful; Jun-ho stopping himself from physically comforting YW and respecting her boudaries had me clutching my chest. The yearning!! It hurts so good!!

Side note: there is a deleted scene of YW opening JH's present! It's delightful. Link: https://mobile.twitter.com/twitterkorea/status/1547506189205852160?s=21&t=rh07EQ3FJBF0xse5GxHibQ

This show has me in a chokehold, y'all. I hope it never lets go ❤️

Loving this show and its nuanced writing. That the "Woah woah" team forgot about confession being a mitigating act and acknowledging the experienced wisdom of the judge (who was previously written as a snobby schmuck).
Getting a dum, dah, dum dum feeling about CEO Tae referring to her son twice now. Oh, please don't go to the birth secret place with our OTP.
Honestly though, wouldn't a step-brother be better for Woo-young than a boyfriend?

If it wasn't for Min woo's bias, he would have noticed Jun ho's eyes going melty for Young woo. Now, he's getting suyeon's hopes up for nothing. 😑🙄.

As for Young woo, it's the growth for me. I am so glad that the writer let her make the wrong choice. She needed it. I Love how it contrasts with the conversation she had with Jun Ho about how she doesn't realize that other people have other motives. They showed that she can also have the wrong ones too.

Choi su Yeon and Young woo are the duo I didn't know I needed. I just hope it lasts till the end.

Wow! I really thought Su-yeon would see Youngwoo as a complete competition. Just it. It's nice to see that it goes beyond that, and the acknowledgement she got from Youngwoo in the form of Spring Sunshine Su-yeon this week is the reminder Su-yeon needs, that Youngwoo is involved in their friendship, that thier friendship is a true two way street.

One hidden identity and a potential birth secret is a makjang-fest subscription. My money is now on CEO Tae as the mother of Youngwoo, but if she ends up as the yet unidentified mother of Jun-ho, it'll hurt so bad. Either ways they'll share a bond for sure.

If someone asked me so bluntly and directly if I liked the them, and I really did like the person, I'll be outed immediately. And Young-woo's bluntness just makes his reaction more swooning. Whatever ship is cooking with regards to this two, let it sail.

The defendant in episode 6 willingly coming back for her trial is testament to a fact that humanity isn't entirely lost. And her love for her daughter is so strong. The judge did well giving her probation.

I really hope Su-yeon and WYW keep this cute friendship even after it is revealed that Jun-ho likes WYW.

Jun-ho is so precious 😍, I can't wait for the ship to sail! He needs to fall harder so that we can get more "Squeeeeee" scenes

There's some truth to the things Min-woo said but I don't like his "jerk" attitude.

They have all but told us directly that Attorney Tae and WYW are related. I'm curious to see where they will go with this

I do not know if the writer of this show has a legal background or a super good technical advisor but episode 5 showed me that it has to be one or the other.

There is an experience which happens to every trial lawyer early in their career. The inexperienced counsel simply believes what his or her client- or maybe it is a witness- has told them in the office without question and proceeds into court on the basis of that faith- just like Young-woo. Sometimes the young lawyer discovers their mistake when they put the client on the stand and then gets to hear a story that is completely different from the one that he or she heard in their office (yes, that is exactly how it happened with me those many years ago). Oops. But it can also happen through the sort of manipulation that Young Woo experienced.

This is actually an important milestone in the growth of Young Woo as a lawyer. From this time forward she will always listen to her client or a witness with a healthy skepticism- not cynically but more wisely- and she may find herself asking a few more questions and digging for more details than she might have before. She will be a far better lawyer for having gone through this experience.

This is what makes this show such a gem. Though we have a very adorable character and her fascination with whales makes every look really sweet but it tackles with real issues and it doesn't shy away from showing that our heroes are capable of making mistakes as well. Like though Young Woo is so sweet, innocent and very straightforward but like other humans she has desires to win as well but unlike many others at the end of the day she realises her mistakes and learns from it . When Wong Woo takes down that sunflower portrait which seemed dirty and put up that letter, it was a really beautiful scene. And not to mention how she describes suyeon as spring su yeon. Though Su yeon might have not realised it but the little things she did for her were such a big deal for her, to have someone who looked out for her. It was a really beautiful scene. So my fellow humans, your little actions might change the life of another person and believe it or not helping others out is such beautiful thing, it feels really good feeling that I was able to help someone out today.
This series is going to leave a mark .

Park. Eun. Bin.
I’m in love. It’s a torrent of emotion that I have to ‘whoa-whoa’ myself to calm down
One thing for sure though, from now on, I will watch everything that has her name on it.

From episode 1, there are things that stand out for me:
Her ability to memorize those long lines while maintaining those expressions and stances.
Also, I’m probably exaggerating, how she talks about her opinions, knowledges, but communicates about her feelings through her eyes.
She carries the drama so beautifully, it’s a good laughter in one second and tears in the next.

I like all the characters around YW. We know that Geurami is an amazing longtime friend to YW, and this week Suyeon comes into the light. I think since the spring sunshine’s expression, Suyeon will be another amazing bestie and colleague for YW.
I like her father doesn’t baby her with her special condition, he even rants about a girl at YW’s age should be considering marriage and cooking for him.
I like how Attorney Jung (bless Kang Kiyoung) never mistreats her and believes in her.
And while I’m not familiar with autistic spectrum, hands down to the writer that can pen down the best drama out of it.

Spring Sunshine Suyeon ☀️ - what a beautiful phrase to describe someone. Find me sobbing in a corner. Such an unexpected and heartachingly wonderful moment, I didn’t think such a short scene could elicit such a big emotional reaction from me the way it did 😭

I’m glad there was a focus on Suyeon x Youngwoo’s relationship this week, and that they didn’t make her out to be a typical one-dimensional 2FL! Even though that meant we got less Junho, the few moments of screen time he got were fantastic. Did anyone else squeal when he threw out his arm to protect YW without even thinking? Where’s the ‘arm over the passenger’ gang from the Link discussion thread at?

And while I’m a little sad about Att.Kwon, I do think it’s good they didn’t resolve that conflict immediately because people like him do exist, change doesn’t happen overnight, and the corporate world - especially law - is cut throat, so all in all it’s quite a realistic and grounded way to approach things. Though my love for Youngwoo had me seeing red every time Att. Kwon did a shitty thing, taking a step back I’m also glad that they didn’t write him as an over the top kind of mean guy. He’s a tactician for sure but he wasn’t doing anything that seemed unrealistically harsh or dramatically ‘evil’- not condoning his behaviour off but I’m just glad they didn’t write him past the point of no return or exaggerate his less than savoury behaviour for dramatics. Another beanie said it in a comment somewhere, and I agree wholeheartedly, that ep 5’s arc was really useful in showing us YW’s own ethical dilemmas, the fact that she can be a strategic player too and then also diving into the emotional fallout from the choices she makes.

Att. Jung asking whether the defendant had some kind of irrefutable charm is me @ this show - it seems everyone, including myself, walked into this show weary or unassuming and have already been knocked out spellbound and it’s only the third week!

I thought Kang Ki young was great in episode six and he has shown he is more than a comic relief actor.

That scene in the diner was top notch and you also saw how he got to where he is and the respect he is given.

He was right, as the leader he should have been on it more. He didn't belittle his subordinates or throw anyone under the bus, he just said regroup and win the case.

Seo yeon and Young woo swooning when he walked away was accurate.

This show continues to be enjoyable. Not only the cases are fresh and interesting each week the best part is being part of the ride and seeing our heroine grows and develops as she navigates her way through new challenges and experiences, whether it's the professional front or personal relationships.

I like Jun Ho's patient and thoughtful approach towards Woo Young. He genuinely cares and wants to understand her better. Contrary to his cautiousness Woo Young's nature is honest and frank therefore I think secret feelings won't be secret for long haha.

Is it just me or the show is making it too obvious too early on that the CEO of the rival law firm is Woo Young's mother? Makes me wonder if a twist is going to be thrown in later. No makjang tropes please!

I had tears in my eyes as the judge read his sentencing for Ha-yun’s mom. The grace with which he acknowledged her circumstances while schooling the attorneys was really beautiful.
This drama touches the heart in so many ways 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

I’m going to make a case that Jun-ho is brother, and that he might know Young Woo is his sister. I’ve seen many comments already say how Jun-ho seems like a person that has a sibling relationship with an autistic person, couldn’t it also be the case he developed that skill from having an autistic parent? Has he been interested in YW because he knows or heard something about her? Is his protective style that of a big brother rather than a romantic partner? 🤔
But that said, if the writers start breaking hearts I’m gonna have problems…

There is nothing new for me comment except that I want Park Eun Bin to try a comedic role in one of her future projects because she has great body language and facial expressions to pull it off!

Another good set of episodes to set up all our characters. I appreciated learning more about Su-yeon and I knew she would be a kindred spirit for Young-woo. One of my kdrama docs from FB mentioned from the first episode that she thought the rival law firm was run by Young-woo’s biological mother and I was flabbergasted when I saw episode 5 and realized she was probably right. I can’t imagine leaving my child no matter my ambitions or their abilities. Actually, she may not even know Youngwoo has autism depending on when she gave her up. So now my question is, has she been totally absent this whole time? She didn’t even get any updates on how she is doing? I wonder if she gave her up to an orphanage, but her father went back to get her and raise her—giving up his career in the process. That man is a saint if so. And I don’t know if I could forgive her mom. This most recent episode really made me sympathetic to Young-woo, as if I could be more sympathetic. It was the fact the North Korean defector wanted her daughter to have a relationship with her and remember her before serving her time, that spoke to Youngwoo, as she can’t remember her mother at all.

And how adorable and awkward is Jun-Ho? He doesn’t know quite how to talk to Young-woo yet about his feelings for her and is always taken aback by her bluntness. Well, buddy, you are going to have to get okay with that. I’m super direct and need people to be super direct and literal with me for me to understand their feelings as well, so I get you, Youngwoo! SQUEEEEE for next week!!!

the struggle I face as they are going SO fast (during the trials) my eyeballs have to work overtime to speed read to the subtitles mY GOD

anyways, I remember thinking to myself if they would include cases where they don't succeed and I was surprised to find out this week. Idk if yall heard my heart shatter for YW when she realized and had that moment with JH.
also lost my mind at that scene where YW referred to SY as her spring sunshine iasdfnhasdnf that was so so sweet and I cant wait to see their friendship progress in the upcoming eps!

As a fan of legal dramas, I'm happy to say that I *really* enjoyed this week's proceedings. Particularly the judge in episode 6. Memorable clients and judges are the bread and butter of a good law show, so I hope we'll be seeing many more of them in the future.

I also loved the camaraderie between Woo-young and Su-yeon on display this week. The show could've easily written Su-yeon into a corner as a catty love rival but instead she is portrayed as a kind and smart confidant. This is exactly the kind of nuanced writing I appreciate in my K-dramas.

I'm finally caught up on this lovely, charming drama!! It rose to the top of my current faves fast.

So many heartwarming and funny moments. Park Eun Bin is wonderful. Love watching her taking on different, compelling roles.

Seeing Kim Hi Eo Ra was a delightful surprise. She was cool to watch, much like the only other time I've seen her (Bad and Crazy). I loved when she put in her North Korean accent seamlessly and chatted with Young Woo in a friendly way.

Thus drama made me tear up several times, maybe once wach episode. Spring Sunshine Su Yeon.... Young Woo's dad...

Good to see a lot of kind people around Young Woo. ♡♡♡

The romance is so cute! Plus I love the female characters, girl-crush on Su-yeon.

I loved the spring sunshine scene! Su Yeon wanted a nickname for her appearance but Young Woo went right to the heart of Su Yeon, her kindness. Young Woo may not be able to read emotions in the same way as neurotypical people but she is observant and appreciates all of Su Yeon's little kindnesses. Su Yeon's reaction to this was wonderful too. She looked surprised not only by Young Woo's opinion but I think she hadn't recognized her own kindness or how much this meant to others.

I also appreciate Jun Ho's hesitation to confess his feelings to Young Woo. He is smitten and we are all rooting for her but he knows that theirs would not be an easy relationship. He respects and admires her for who she is, looks beyond her diagnosis, but she has a unique way of approaching the world and relationships and that would include how she would be as a romantic partner. And realistically speaking he must recognize that not everyone would support him being with her. There are plenty of Min Woo's in the world.
