Extraordinary Attorney Woo (2022) Final Remarks and a Critique
40somethingahjumma.substack.com
The curtain on the exploits of Attorney Woo Young-woo finally fell the previous week. For now at least, if rumours of another season are to be believed, it’s done and dusted. As someone who began enthusiastically on this journey with Woo Young-woo, I found my interest gradually waning as the show advanced into its second half. It’s not that I think it’s been a waste of my time. Not at all. The show clearly has its charms but at the end of it I’m left feeling somewhat dissatisfied, that unlike Woo Young-woo I don’t think it actually reaches its potential. I’ve been racking my brains trying to make sense of my own reaction because on paper all the ingredients are there for a good drama but I’ve come away with a partial conclusion that the show dips its toes in but never gets its legs wet, begging the question: How is that it’s both appealing and frustrating at the same time?
