Comments on Yu's drama series
This play embodies the writer's understanding and humanistic care for autistic people. There are almost no TV dramas that combine autism with law before, so the narrative perspective of this drama is still very novel. This drama is a very standard legal career drama. Each episode contains a case, and various cases reflect various situations in Korean society. The case itself is reversed, and it can be presented completely in one episode, with high narrative efficiency.
The setting of autism is just like the "5% innovation" of this legal drama, which makes some routines have new ideas. The play is a work with quite skillful technique and flawless execution. There are many wonderful moments in the play, the pen of genius, and the constant surprises, which are fully capable of hitting the audience's inner romance. Eun-bin Park, the leading actor, perfectly digested Yu's role, and moved closer to autistic people in terms of body movements, eyes, speaking style, speaking speed and intonation.
