Dear Endless Expanse of Space,

I've started watching The Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and I think something the show does extremely well is showing how neurotypicals have a tendency to set rules for autistic people that they themselves do not follow.

This is particularly clear in episode 6 ("If I Were A Whale...") when Woo Young Woo is repeatedly given rules for when she is allowed to speak by the judge, but none of the neurotypical attorneys follow these rules, aside from Choi raising her hand once, immediately after the judge says attorneys need to raise their hands to speak.

It reminded me so much and rather unpleasantly of when I was a kid and I would wonder why it seemed like other people could be upset about and get away with things but I wasn't allowed.

It's just... not something that I typically see in a lot of media featuring autistic people; especially because Western media tends to promote a stereotype of an autistic person, in which imposing these arbitrary rules seems "reasonable" because otherwise the autistic person would be annoying/overbearing/embarrassing/out of line and it's really nice to see it framed as the ridiculous power play that it is for once.

Looking for Korean show recomendations!

I recently fell into the genre and I love it. I have watched The Extraordinary Attorney Woo, Under the Queen's Umbrella, and Business Proposal. I’m looking for some other recomendations. If they are on Netflix that would help. Also, romance please!

This post contains spoilers for The Extraordinary Attorney Woo.

I recently watched The Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and after a few days I finally figured out what I liked so much about it.

Y’know, besides it being really nice to see a love interest who, despite their ups and downs, is never an asshole.

I mean, I don’t know how autistic people feel about the show. I am sure some like the rep and some hate it for a variety of reasons, and you should listen to what they have to say about it.

But for me, it was exciting to see someone in a show who has restrictive sensory sensitivities that limit what she eats and how she eats it, and — For Once — it is not presented as a character who is picky because they are a spoiled brat or a fussy uptight stick in the mud. This is a character that struggles to eat certain things and it is simply a part of her greater array of character traits.

Even though I am not autistic, and I do not share many of Young-Woo’s other traits, I can see myself in that character. I, too, simply do not eat certain things (although my palate is broader than hers and very different), and I, too, feel awkward in certain social situations where eating and drinking particular things is expected. And it certainly is not about being spoiled or fussy. What a breath of fresh air.

That scene when she told her dad the ham tasted funny and he said to eat it anyway, and after she left he turned around and found all the ham picked out of her gimbap and left behind in an X on her plate —So relatable.

Dear Endless Expanse of Space,

Update on my current watching of The Extraordinary Attorney Woo:

I know it's not going to happen, but I fully believe that the only believable and the extremely correct way for the Young-woo/Joon-ho/Su-yeon love triangle to end is in polyamory.

Like— Joon-ho and Su-yeon both holding out their arms to shield Young-Woo from the abusive husband instinctively? Young-Woo calling Joon-ho "the good looking one" and Su-yeon "spring sunshine"? Joon-ho getting upset with Kwan for not believing that he could like Young-Woo?? Su-yeon getting immediately upset when Young-Woo says that she's hard to like?? The parallels between Joon-ho and Su-yeon both opening Young-Woo's drinks and helping her go through the revolving doors??? Young-Woo trying to help create situations for the other two to get together because even though it bothers her (whether she knows why or not) she knows that Su-yeon likes Joon-ho and believes he feels the same way and she wants both of these people to be happy???

In Conclusion: I think these three should be allowed to be happy and in love

Don’t act like you’re going to listen to her whale stories forever and then tell her to stop not even after a year. If you’re going to hurt her like that, you shouldn’t start anything at all. I’m telling you this now, if you think your feelings are temporary, don’t be nice to her. My feelings aren’t temporary!
