I've seen a lot of negative comments...
UPDATE AFTER I FINISHED WATCHING THE DRAMA
I've changed the "story" rating from 8.5 to 9.5. I really like this drama and I like the development of all characters. But there is one thing I hate. The scene where Joon Ho drove away from the hospital where reporters wouldn't let Soo Yeon, Young Woo, and Min Woo pass. It was so out of the character. The character of Joon Ho that was created in other episodes would never have done that, even under the pressure from senior.
-------------------------------------------------------------
AFTER WATCHING 8 EPISODES
Recently, I've seen a lot of people say they had high expectations for this drama but eventually got disappointed. This happened because Woo Young Woo with her autism spectrum is shown in a very stereotypical way. In the episodes I watched, the topic of diversity among people on the autism spectrum was mentioned only once when Young Woo as a lawyer was about to defend the boy on the spectrum.
To be honest I agree that Woo Young Woo is portrayed as a little infantile and to be seen as a cute person. And it is a very stereotypical way to show a person with an autism spectrum. There are people like Woo Young Woo and we need to understand it but it would be better if the drama focused more on the diversity of people on the spectrum. There are also people in whom it is impossible to notice at first glance that they have an autism spectrum.
However, I think that this is a huge step for Korean dramas and I hope we will see a more proper representation of people on the autism spectrum in the future.
Despite all this, I'm enjoying watching this drama. It has advantages, such as people with different responses to a person on the autism spectrum. The acting is really good. I also like the relations between Woo Young Woo and Joon Ho, Soo Yeon, and Geurami. The cases and the character's involvement in them are also interesting.
I believe that enjoying this drama is nothing wrong, but you have to bear in mind that some of the things shown in it are ableist and you shouldn't pretend that they are not. However, it is important to pay attention to it and not to duplicate these ableist things and stereotypes about people with autism.
A lot depends on how we as the audience perceive what was shown in the drama.
