12.6 - Podcast Review of Episode 6 of Extraordinary Attorney Woo

Today, we’ll be discussing Episode 6 of Extraordinary Attorney Woo, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Park Eun-bin as Woo Young-woo, Kang Tae-oh as Lee Jun-ho, Ha Yoon-kyung as Choi Soo-yeon, Ju Hyung-young as Dong Geu-rami, Kang Ki-young as Jung Myung-seok, and Joo Jong-hyuk as Kwon Min-woo. We discuss:
* The songs we featured during the recap: Overture and Girl Dad (It Takes Such a Long Time) by Roh Young Sim.
* Our delightful Zoom meet and greet with listeners, where many shared their love of Extraordinary Attorney Woo as their gateway into K Dramas.
* The varied opinions on Lee Jun-ho, from the fantasy of a perfect green-flag partner to the critique that he’s bland or too idealized.
* The heartbreaking case of a North Korean defector, Gye Hyang-sim, and how it highlights issues of motherhood, justice, and societal prejudice.
* The dangerous and emotionally devastating journey of North Korean defectors and how the South Korean government processes and supports them.
* The emotionally raw parallels between Gye Hang-sim's pain and Woo Young Woo’s deep empathy for Gye Hyang-sim, especially Woo Young Woo’s moving whale metaphor, where she likens Gye Hyang-sim to a mother whale who refuses to abandon her child even at the cost of her life.
* The shocking moment when CSY and WYW barge into the judge’s chambers, and how their family pedigrees become unexpectedly relevant to the judge’s view of them.
* The meaning of bongwan (ancestral clan origin), and how it reflects deeply ingrained class and social cues in Korean legal and elite circles.
* The surprise ending of the case, where the judge suspends Gye Hyang-sim’s prison sentence due to her confession, lack of a criminal record, and unfamiliarity with South Korean law.
* The subtly developing triangle between Woo Young Woo, Lee Jun Ho, and Choi Soo Yeon, fueled by Kwon Min-woo’s manipulative suggestion that Lee Jun Ho likes Choi Soo Yeon.
* The emotional theme of mothers throughout the episode, culminating in the poignant department store scene where Tae Soo-mi almost crosses paths with her daughter WYW.
* Our admiration for Attorney Jung, who quietly supports his junior attorneys and upholds justice, even at the cost of corporate clients.
