[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a woman with autism, I'm very interested to see this. I also watch K-dramas and love Kpop, I'm really surprised they chose to create a character that is a woman with autism. In a Korean series. I don't think autism is discussed much over there, so I'm curious to see if it creates more awareness and acceptance.[/quote]

I hope you'll come back here and give us your thoughts after watching it. Judging from discussions on reddit, it sounds like a lot of people with autism/family members of people with autism are watching it.

I watched the first two episodes. At first I felt like they were taking all these quirky autistic traits and rolling it up into one character. I see some of myself in those, but not all. But then I remind myself that it is a spectrum, and autism looks different from one person to another. Overall I am enjoying the actress’s portrayal of Attorney Woo, I feel like this Korean series portrays autism better than the western shows I’ve seen. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of the episodes.

I also find it interesting the head of the law firm is a woman. I wonder how this, as well as autism, is perceived in a hierarchical culture like Korea. I’d be curious to know what people in Korea think of this series.[/quote]

Heads of two competing top law firms in this drama are women. But both of them are daughters of the law firm founders. In reality, there are not that many women CEOs in South Korea even it is changing slowly.
This drama is very popular and well received in South Korea.
