I was into South Korean TV long before BTS and the gen-whatever teeny boppers. One of the first TV shows I reviewed on this blog, Faith, was a deliciously nonsensical time-traveling South Korean rom-com martial arts fantasy. Yeah, it was that crazy. With advancing age and creeping Bidenesque dementia, my affection for South Korean TV has only increased. My latest K-TV crush is Extraordinary Attorney Woo.
Extraordinary Attorney Woo, or Woo from now on, is about a brilliant and super cute young autistic Korean attorney. There are many things to like about Woo. The characters are all hygienically clean-cut and attractive. No fatties, fags, bull dykes, transvestites, and related diverse degenerates are in sight. Woo’s court cases are delightfully innocent. Instead of the predictable parade of murder, rape, and misgendering cases that Western legal dramas offer up, Woo attacks zoning disputes, business contract dilemmas, and points of personal honor. By Hollyweirdo standards, the stakes could not be lower.
Even more charming, Woo exhibits absolutely zero “diversity.” All the characters are 100% Korean. No token white, black, or extraneous indigenous placeholders are present to remind us of how woke the screenwriters and producers are. Even more astonishing, all the characters are well-behaved heterosexuals! When was the last time you watched a gay-free western production? In the West, we’ve endured decades of putting a chick in it and making her gay, and this cranky old boomer has had it. Woo mirrors 1950s Western TV. In that remote bygone age, TV provided models of how we should be – not how we should not be! My advice, get yourself some Woo and take a break from the bullshit.
