It was a bit of a random thought I had. (didn't post it in that one random thoughts thread though)
When I think of autistic characters in kdramas, I can only think of the main character in Good Doctor, the main character's brother in Shining Inheritage and the main character's brother in It's Okay Not To Be Okay. I couldn't think of any single female character.
The reason why I had this thought is because often when we see autistic characters in media, they are most often male.
and then I see this:
I clicked on this trailer because the title made em think of Ace Attorney. (and I laughed when they said "Objection" in this trailer.)
While I was watching the trailer, i was thinking "Oh, she is probably supposed to be autistic or something else."
I mean, I see fidgetting, avoiding eye contact and other stuff that I usually associate with autism.
Then I checked the synopsis, and I was freaking right about it.
"Brilliant attorney Woo Young-woo tackles challenges in the courtroom and beyond as a newbie at a top law firm and a woman on the autism spectrum."
Now I think about it, I wonder if this is going to feel like a female lawyer version of Good Doctor.
I can't tell whether this is a good representation of it or not.
Well... if I had Netflix, I would watch it.
Suddenly I remember reading that there is a Korean movie called Innocent Witness that has an autistic female character. (but it is a movie, not a kdrama)
Well... I just showed my autistic side, by making this thread.
Yup, I'm an autistic female. (got diagnosed as a teen)
I sometimes feel nervous when talking about autism because I feel like I might say something wrong or something.
