I rarely watch films about law, let alone Korean Drama, but recently online streaming has been filled with films about the courtroom.

I was looking for a film about the law with a female protagonist. One of them is “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” on Netflix.

This film is about Woo Young-woo (Park Eun-bin), a girl with autism spectrum disorder who is the new kid at a law firm. Despite having many uniqueness, Young-woo herself is a genius. When she was little she was able to memorize a book of law and mention the article without error when a criminal incident occurred.

The challenge as a person with special needs is how can she struggle in a world that requires him to socialize? This story is quite entertaining and interesting. Perk Eun-bin’s acting as Young-woo is convincing. It is quite amusing when the girl starts drifting off into her typical whale fantasies.

The second Korean Drama is “May it Please The Court” on Disney+ Hotstar. The main character is No Chak-Hee (Jung Ryeo-Won) who works at a famous law firm. She has very good abilities and is very ambitious to become a partner in the law firm. But there is a problem so she has to be a public defender for a year working with a colleague he initially dislikes, namely Jwa Si-Baek (Lee Kyu-Hyung).

At first it looks like an ordinary drama story, but who would have thought it turns out that in the middle of the story there is a serial murder case where the culprit is a mystery to the end. The serial killer involved all the characters that No Chak-Hee knew. The role of Jwa Si-Baek is also still being questioned here.

There’s not a lot of love in this drama, more dealing with legal issues and murders. Apart from that, we can also feel the atmosphere of someone who works in a Korean law firm, with quite strong elements of patriarchy and seniority. Very Asian. In a western film, where is an employee bowing down to his superiors when he makes a mistake?

Even though the idea is interesting, in my opinion the plot is a bit slow, so if you don’t diligently follow it you can get a bit loose everywhere. No Chak-Hee, who looked strong at the beginning, became nervous in the middle, luckily she returned to his original character at the end with a satisfying ending.

Long story short, both are recommended if you are a Korean drama fans.

Do you have other recommendations?
