This was actually the episode which sold the drama to me. As someone who watched a lot of detective/legal, crime/suspense and slice of life movies and series, I needed something that will convince me that the show was serious in tackling issues in society and in real setting. That it's not just using the main character's condition as clickbait. I like how they showed how large can the gap be in the "spectrum". The case might be drastic but I think it was the easier way to clearly convey the said gap. People may hear that the condition is called 'autism spectrum disorder' (ASD) but not a lot will understand what it really means. The parts that I felt so much and think are really valuable were: (sorry if this got so long) - Young-woo's talk with her father. We get to hear how it is in the perspective of an immediate family and the guardian of an autistic person. - The rants of Jeong-hoon's father after he heard of the possibility of his eldest actually commiting suicide. Though I also think that he shouldn't have gotten upset towards the team, his concerns are understandable... Whenever I watch true crime and mystery videos, one of the constant things is the 'victim' being introduced and list of facts about them are mentioned. Any family member would like for the public to only learn the good things about their loved ones and that they be remembered as good people when they were living. And suicide is still an unacceptable, unforgivable action to many Asian countries. There are even churches which won't allow funeral service to those who took their own lives. - When the mother of Jeong-hoon apologized to Young Woo and said that they had conflicting emotions and thoughts meeting a brilliant autistic person... I don't know how it is in your place but in my country, autistic people are only mostly treated well when they are geniuses or have exemplary abilities on specific matters. They are like family's miracle, saving them from poverty or whatever. If not that, they are still considered as burdens as people with special needs. - When Young-woo agreed to be pulled out from the case as she's not seen as a positive contribution to the defendant. Her citing the previous encounters was heartbreaking. They were simple moments but the actions/gazes were very telling

i can see this episode being very polarizing.. to me this has been my least favorite episode. I think its great to highlight the spectrum and show the range of the disorder and bring awareness to it all. the main thing i didnt agree with was how they are treating the ppl with those disorders.. sometimes when they are dealing with Woo they make it obvious when ppl treat her the wrong way, but with the guy that played the pengsoo character, you would never want to handle someone with the level autism he has like that. To me the way they treated him within the script kinda undid all the good things they had done up until this point. i do agree that there are a handful of great moments in this episode though, like you brought up, the way the father is portrayed and how he deals with the situation is pretty classy imo i do try to keep in mind cultural differences when it comes to touchy topics like mental health and suicide but sometimes its glaring that by trying to save face to the "public" often makes them an obvious sitty person to other ppl they claim to love. There are some similarities to our cultures when it comes to mental health.. Here i think the "brilliant" ones are still treated badly in a way that it seems liek a lot of ppl think that if they are good enough at some aspect that they can jsut choose to be good in all aspects.. while people with more severe or crippling autism is more iffy... i think here in the US it is socially unacceptable to outwardly be rude or mean to anyone with mental health issues, but that doesnt mean they are treated fairly, its just more quiet and behind closed doors kind of thing and still seen as a burden in most ppls point of view i can understand the decisions everyone made both good and bad, and in life nothing is perfrect, so im glad to see Woo stand up for herself and leave the firm, but i still think it was a shitty position for her coworkers to put her in that situation at all especially after she was obviously not comfortable with it....but at the same time i do think that just because you are different you should be treated with a different set of rules... as a new attorney you will be assigned cases you dont want to do, and as a new emplyee anywhere in the world, you are at the bottom of the totem pull to an extent, so you cant jsut choose what you do and dont want to do. also, i really dont mind long comments at all, my main goal for having a youtube channel and the patreon is to be able to talk with ppl that enjoy the same content i do, and i dont get to talk about it with ppl in my everyday life, so please dont ever hesitate to make a comment if you think of someting to say

Thank you for responding and for ressuring that you're okay with long comments. I appreciate them a lot. Yes, I think the culture and the society we are in contribute significantly with how we see things. It's really interesting and eye opening to learn the different views and takes on issues at hand. It's fascinating, despite that we're discussing darker issues and reality. '...so im glad to see Woo stand up for herself and leave the firm' - it's interesting to me that you find her act as standing up for herself when I, and most of viewers I believe, see this as giving up like 'I am not worthy anymore so I'll just leave'. It's making me think that you are really such a kind and positive person. '...just because you are different you should be treated with a different set of rules' - this topic will definitely be dealt with soon. And you'll see one of the 'bad' guys in the story. For me, this is not yet the episode that I'll say very polarizing. They were just basically showing what's happening but in a more striking way for emphasis and clear sample. It's not my favorite episode too though (not sure if I have a favorite episode actually. I think it's more of selected moments that stood out for me in this drama). This is not a spoiler but a kind of 'foreshadowing'(?), there will be cases in the future that can be polarizing, a number of them, so just be ready. For some will be much more focused in Korean society and system, so it may take some effort to understand or relate to. And some tackles controversial issues yet you may be left weighing your morals and opinions by your own at the end. Which I personally don't like (not a fan of ambiguous endings/unresolved discord) yet it's inevitable.

i think talking about easy subjects can get boring.. I think when people can talk about a tough subject in a civilized manner is a lot more productive and captivating - i can see the other side to Woo leaving, but i always side with if someone makes a hard decision by themselves they are standing up for what is right. I think her leaving makes everyone around her realize that she is more than just a gimmick that they can use and abuse at their will. The main reason i think this way is because since no one asked her to leave the firm and she was only asked to stay out of the view... she could have easily jsut stayed and did the work behind the scenes.. So i took her leaving as you get all of her or none of her - its kinda hard to explain how i feel about that... while i dont think everyone should be treated the same, i think everyone should be treated with the same level of fairness.. to get the best out of an individual, you need to figure out how they would work best. I believe that if someone if going to join a team they need to make sure their own leaniancy isnt making others feel mistreated in comparison - i also understand some of the ways they are dealing with tougher subjects might be more direct and less nuanced than they would playout in real life even down to how she plays the character Woo, I just hope that it doesnt get too out of hand trying to make things simple - i do love the fact that watching TV shows from other countries it shows some of the subtle differences between the two cultures... sometimes the obvious things are the only ones that are talked about, but i like the little things that are different. I think unresolved issues in a show can go both ways, in one way it leaves you wanting closure... but at the same time if you have closure you can stop thinkiing about it, i think it being unresolved makes you actually think about it and try to see where you personally stand on the subjects, not jsut how you were told to feel by the script of the show. im about to watch the next episode, ill try to get it uploaded today
