1. [+148, -12] Expecting an autistic lawyer like Woo Young Woo in real life is like expecting North Korean soldiers to be like Ri Jung Hyuk. Let's please not confuse drama with reality.
2. [+77, -1] As a parent of a child with autism myself, Woo Young Woo is just a fantasy. The drama has a lot for people to learn in that it expresses a lot of the characteristics and actions in a way that's easy to understand but it's because it's just a drama that I'm able to enjoy watching it.
3. [+46, -10] I think people need to understand the difference between autism and savant syndrome.
4. [+16, -0] A drama is just a drama. Do you really think there are North Korean soldiers like Hyun Bin from 'Crash Landing on You'?????? Woo Young Woo is just a drama character... so just watch these dramas for what they are.
5. [+10, -0] I'm aware that there are people like her working as KAIST researchers or even in Silicon Valley, but there is such a large spectrum of symptoms with autism that sometimes it's not obvious to the eye and some are able to assimilate more easily into these jobs. I also heard that it's possible to practice making eye contact as well because they're so smart. I think Woo Young Woo represents more of the extreme ends of these people to show more of the unique sides of the syndrome for the purpose of the plot.
6. [+9, -0] I think viewers are just trying to watch the drama for what it is but it's always the media hyping it up like "is this possible in real life?!"
7. [+3, -0] I think what Woo Young Woo's father said is where the answer lies. You can be smart enough to get a full ride to Seoul University with top grades but society will still never accept you. It's going to be hard to enact more change as well.
8. [+3, -0] It's only a matter of time before our hopes become reality. It's time for us to change our perceptions so that a drama like this can become our reality. There is no fruit that is born from a tree without pain and suffering!
9. [+3, -0] Yes, an autistic lawyer in real life is a fantasy, but you have to admit that this drama is providing a more positive perception of disabilities
10. [+2, -0] Pretty close to impossible in real life... which is why dramas are just dramas. I highly doubt that there will be a lot of people who would be willing to have their case taken on by an autistic lawyer, especially when it's a heated or emotional case. No matter how talented, I don't think I could hire one myself...
