Korean actress Park Eun-bin, 29, is receiving a lot of love from around the world because of her drama “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” and is very thankful for it.
Park Eun-bin plays the title role of Woo Young-woo in “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” who is a lawyer with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and is working in a law firm.
“Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition involving persistent challenges with social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behavior,” according to the American Psychiatric Association website.
“Extraordinary Attorney Woo” has brought fame to Park Eun-bin. The drama grabbed first place for the second straight week among non-English shows on Netflix’s weekly Global Top 10 chart with 45.58 million hours viewed from July 11 to 17.

According to Netflix, Park Eun-bin was initially hesitant to play the role that it took the director and writer one year to convince her.
To prepare for the role, she met with expert professors specializing in the study of ASD.
“I focused on her sincere heart. I didn’t want to limit this character, so I was really open to all possible options in expressing her heart freely. She is such a spirited and courageous person, and I was able to learn a lot from this character,” said Park Eun-bin.
