As a fan of Korean dramas, we definitely won’t miss the latest series that aired on Netflix on June 22. This Korean drama has 16 episodes that tell about the life of a lawyer who has an autism spectrum named Woo Young Woo who is a genius. She is Korean first autism lawyer who is able to solve cases quickly and creatively. Woo Young Woo lived as a lawyer at the Hanbada law office with her father whose mother worked as a lawyer at a rival law firm.


Woo Young Woo's life impressed the audience because it not only explained the life of the main character as a lawyer who was able to solve legal cases in it but also told about Woo Young Woo's love story with his officemate named Lee Junho. This drama with a total of 16 episodes has an opening that in each episode show whales as a fantasy world created by Woo Young Woo. Whales are one of the objects that are often displayed in the main character's daily life. Even when Woo Young Woo solves existing cases, she tends to equate them with the existence of whales in his imagination.


Did you know that actually, a whale is not just a depiction of an imaginary animal figure that Woo Young Woo really likes for no reason? There are some interesting facts behind the meaning of the existence of a satisfied fish in the Korean drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo along with an explanation.


In the drama, the blue whale is the most frequently seen. The depiction of a blue whale that lives freely in the ocean is one representation of Woo Young Woo's own thoughts as a lawyer who is able to think creatively and is not limited in his space because of his autism spectrum.

Satisfied fish is synonymous with something big, free, and strong. This is one form of Woo Young Woo's desire to be able to think freely and live with great feelings like a satisfied fish. Not without reason, she likes it because of the symptoms of the autism spectrum that he has where someone will really like something continuously and monotonously.


Woo Young Woo also reveals in one scene that his past has similarities with satisfied fish. She became a strong figure without a mother because of the lessons she learned from how the mother whale protects her children even though it has to be painful.


In psychology, the whale also has a very meaningful meaning. The image of the whale symbolizes persistence and intelligence. Someone who has a satisfied fish is those with a hardworking personality towards everything she wants and likes. This is the same as Woo Young Woo's personality when facing all legal cases in his office where she is very persistent in solving problems.
