Mass Black Judge

From its beautiful visual introductions and engaging characters, this show is well worth watching. Attorney Young-woo is an autistic woman who deeply cares for whales and their freedom.

She uses her photographic memory and creative thinking skills to find solutions for cases that stump others. Additionally, she enjoys telling tales about whales to her colleagues.

1. They are a symbol of freedom

ENA’s wholesome drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo is rapidly growing in popularity, and attorney Young-woo is being celebrated for her photographic memory, warm smile, sudden epiphanies, love of gimbap and passion for whales – among many other feats.

These free-swimming marine creatures serve as her spirit animal, offering comfort and soothing nerves during cases. Furthermore, they symbolize freedom as they swim freely across an endless ocean while still belonging to a larger whale community (e.g. 52Hz whale).

Whales have long been seen as symbols of neurobiological stability and transcultural resonance; moreover, their symbolic representation can also be found in local concerns, including those related to the Sewol Ferry Disaster, cetacean captivity, and feminism in Hallyu diaspora communities. For example, whales serve as symbols of remembrance during candlelight vigils for students who lost their lives; their recurring theme serves both to articulate local anxieties while providing a forum to further investigate neurodiversity tropes.

2. They are a symbol of community

Before recently, whales were often perceived as menacing and dangerous creatures. Yet whales are beautiful creatures with captivating songs that rank among the most exquisite sounds on Earth – inspiring environmental movements in the 1960s to champion nature’s interdependency among its creatures. Unfortunately, although whale populations are protected from commercial hunting now, they still face numerous threats including collisions with ships and fishing nets.

The whale is both an emblem of freedom and community. Park Eun Bin’s Extraordinary Attorney Woo character adores whales and often shares her knowledge with coworker Jun-ho, showing her strong connection to sea life and ocean ecosystems – ultimately seeing whales as her spirit animal. Herman Melville’s Sperm Whale from Moby Dick also represents this theme and provides us with another symbol for emotional wellbeing and mental well-being.

3. They are a symbol of intelligence

Whales possess incredible intelligence despite their massive size. They are adept at solving complex problems and use clicks as a form of communication with one another – much like humans do! Furthermore, their freedom in swimming freely through vast oceans showcases a high degree of awareness and understanding.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo is an international hit Korean drama that follows an autistic lawyer with a photographic memory and knack for out-of-the-box thinking, who excels at solving cases through memory recall and creativity; yet she struggles to empathize with others’ feelings and understand complex emotional situations.

The show has quickly gained widespread acclaim for its heartwarming narrative and stunning visuals, but many netizens have wondered why whales appear frequently in Young-woo’s heart. Here are a few reasons that give Young-woo such a soft spot for whales.

4. They are a symbol of empathy

When the Whale spirit animal appears in your life, it may encourage you to be more understanding towards all living beings – including those with diverging views or lifestyles from your own. Furthermore, it could encourage an awareness that every action has an effect on our planet’s ecosystem and therefore has an effect on it too.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo has become one of the most beloved Korean dramas this year, following Young-woo’s journey as she uses her photographic memory and unconventional thought processes to resolve cases. Young-woo is passionate about whales, which frequently play an integral part of her work. When an “aha!” moment occurs during one of these cases, Young-woo usually confides her thoughts to her colleague Jun-ho.

The whales in this show represent her journey within neurotypical society, free to pursue her passions without judgment from others.
