Take this quiz to find out which extraordinary attorney woo character best represents you!
Woo Young Woo
Woo Young Woo is an introverted yet brilliant rookie attorney diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who graduated first from Seoul National University’s law school and eventually found herself working at Hanbada Law Firm despite some difficult interactions. Although she may struggle showing her affection through skinship or verbal communication, it’s clear she cares deeply for those in her life and willingly steps outside her comfort zone to assist them.
She’s been keeping a secret from her biological mother and is doing everything in her power to prove she deserves to be considered her daughter. At Hanbada, she takes on cases that feature marginalized groups such as domestic abuse victims, North Korean defectors, autistic clients, etc. Additionally, she manages to connect with one autistic client by engaging him in what interests him – ultimately leading the entire law firm in singing one song from his favorite show!
Lee Jun Ho
Woo Young-woo is an ambitious rookie attorney with autism spectrum disorder who was hired by major law firm Hanbada. Although initially she struggled to communicate, Woo is gradually earning recognition for her work thanks to her incredible memory and legal casework skills, earning both peers and clients alike the respect.
Young-woo quickly forms an attachment with her co-worker Lee Jun Ho, played by Kang Tae-oh. Jun Ho is an affectionate and thoughtful individual who captures Young-woo’s affection despite their differences caused by autism.
Jun Ho is an ESFJ, or “Caregiver.” He provides support and is present during cases, helping Young-woo overcome her fear of public speaking and lifting her spirits when necessary. Jun Ho makes for the ideal partner, yet struggles to express his feelings because of personal issues.
Dong Geu Ra Mi
Geu-ra-mi is an eccentric rebel with an unwavering passion for justice who refuses to abide by social conventions, providing her with an edge in social interactions that allows for candid discussions while spotting hypocrisy in others. Her unfaltering passion for law and genuine empathy for those in need are invaluable assets as an attorney.
Geu-ra-mi’s cases often provide insight into our society, with one such instance involving an autistic woman being taken advantage of by an abusive entrepreneur and another showing how seemingly pleasant people can conceal harsh personalities beneath an appealing facade.
Kang Ki Young
Kang Ki Young has long been trusted as a supporting actor since his debut. From comedic timing and charming smiles, to iconic K-Dramas like Reply 1988 and My Sassy Girl.
He plays Choi Su-yeon, Woo Young-woo’s best friend and also an attorney at Hanbada Law Firm. An ESFJ personality type known for being kind and generous, Choi also shares an avid interest in whales and dolphins.
Su-yeon is an easily likable character because she’s easy to identify with. A child prodigy with a passion for whales and marine mammals, Su-yeon often compares situations in both her professional and personal life to whale characteristics or lives – her eureka moments often involve dolphin or whale-related scenes! Furthermore, Su-yeon is known to be good listener as well as genuine sweet person making her an indispensable ally to Woo.
