Instead, she fits all the pieces of the case together to prove that the husband died from a pre-existing condition rather than the hit from the iron. Yikes!īut this doesn’t throw Young-woo off course.
#Heroine for hire trial#
The trial kicks off, and just as the jury is buying into Young-woo’s argument of the husband being a verbally abusive man – thanks to him lashing out at her again from the witness stand in court - he unfortunately dies on the way back to the hospital, and her client’s charge is changed from attempted murder to murder. But Young-woo is quick to shut down his “help” and would rather use the disability as a leverage to evoke the emotions of the potential jury. Myeong-seok decides to proceed on the case with a jury trial, and attorney KWON MIN-WOO ( Joo Jong-hyuk) volunteers to give the arguments at the trial since Young-woo might have difficulties speaking to the jury because of her disability. Am I a bad person if I wish the iron had hit him a little harder? The client also says she wishes she had killed her husband instead, but Young-woo is able to see past the client’s frustration to know that she actually cares about the husband. Still on the case, Young-woo is accompanied by attorney LEE JUN-HO ( Kang Tae-oh) to visit the client at the hospital, and her husband explodes after learning that Young-woo is the daughter of their former tenant. He also apologizes for his initial attitude towards her, and that’s just great because I don’t have it in me to dislike a Kang Ki-young character. Myeong-seok is quite impressed with her reasoning, and tells her to proceed with this. Her reason being that in future when the husband dies, the client won’t be able to inherit his pension or their house if she’s convicted of his attempted murder (as opposed to bodily harm). Young-woo is told to get the client off on probation, but she states that the client should be gotten off for bodily harm rather than attempted murder. Young-woo recognizes the client as the wife of the landlord of her childhood home, who was always nice to her despite her husband’s semi-violent nature, and his erroneous insinuation of an affair between his wife and Young-woo’s dad. I suspect this whale gag is going to be a running one, and I look forward to more.Īnyway, back to our first case, the client is a woman in her seventies who is charged with attempted murder after hitting her irrationally jealous husband on the head with an iron. And Young-woo doesn’t exactly win herself brownie points with him when she pictures the evidence in the case (an iron) as a sperm whale, and launches into an impromptu seminar on sperm whales. Young-woo’s first hurdle at work is the skepticism of her immediate boss, JUNG MYEONG-SEOK ( Kang Ki-young), who immediately assigns her on a case to test out her skills. Except, of course, CEO HAN SEON-YOUNG ( Baek Ji-won) – who was a college junior to Young-woo’s dad WOO KWANG-HO ( Jeon Bae-Soo) – and fellow attorney CHOI SU-YEON ( Ha Yoo-kyung) who was Young-woo’s law school classmate. We meet her on her first day at the law firm Hanbada, and from the looks of it, no one was expecting the new hire to be on the spectrum.
Welcome to the world of our heroine WOO YOUNG-WOO ( Park Eun-bin), and in this world, she’s the first-ever autistic attorney in Korea! Young-woo is a huge lover of whales, has a closet more organized than my life, and I love her already. So buckle up for the ride, people, we are going along with her. What’s better than an ordinary attorney? An extraordinary one! And that’s the perfect descriptor for our heroine, who sets out on this extraordinary journey to overcome prejudices and break stereotypes. Much ado about nothing characters.70 JJExtraordinary Attorney Woo: Episodes 1-2 by Unit
