Comment on this episode by going to KDramaChat.comToday, we'll be discussing Episode 12 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 Hyun-young as Dong Geurami, Kang Ki-young as Jung Myung-seok, and Joo Jong-hyuk as Kwon Min-woo. We discuss:The songs featured during the recap: “One Two Three Young Woo” by Jo Byeong Hyeon and “H” by Roh Young Sim. The first is quirky, while the second is melancholy.The political and ethical complexity of Hanbada's involvement in drafting a policy that led to mass layoffs of married women.The fierce and principled attorney Ryu Jae Sook, who champions women's and labor rights, and who offers a thought-provoking contrast to Hanbada's corporate approach.The idea of generation names in Korean clans, and how these were used to explore the relationship between Judge Ryu Myeong Ha and Attorney Ryu Jae Sook.Attorney Jung's jarring statement that attorneys are not meant to make the world a better place, but to defend their clients, no matter who they are.Woo Young Woo's internal conflict as she receives a job offer from Attorney Ryu and wrestles with what kind of attorney she wants to be.The damaging but clever tactics of Kwon Min-woo, who secretly mails a legal memo to the opposing counsel in an attempt to frame Woo Young Woo.The brutal emotional toll of litigation, as personal and irrelevant information (such as fertility treatment) is dragged into court to discredit the plaintiffs.The bittersweet conclusion to the case: the women lose in court but win in the court of public opinion and in moral conviction.The evolving relationship between Woo Young Woo and Lee Jun-ho as they try to navigate differing perceptions of what it means to be a couple.The quiet decline of Attorney Jung, whose stress and physical deterioration hint at serious underlying health issues.A linguistic and cultural deep dive into the Korean pronunciation of family names such as Choi, Park, and Yun, and the surprising differences when romanized.ReferencesGeneration name - WikipediaPro bono practices and opportunities in South KoreaGlass ceiling - Wikipedia

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.ReferencesAndong - WikipediaAndong Kim clan - WikipediaBaby Boxes on South Korea: A Controversial But Effective Way To Save LivesThe story of Tahlequah, the orca North Korean defectors - Wikipedia
