When I tell you this K-drama has been on my mind for months after I watched it — that's how much I loved it. I'm kind of ashamed that it took me so long to talk to you all about it, but I'm here now.

1. The show follows Woo Young-woo, a super intelligent young woman who is hired as a rookie attorney at one of the most prestigious law firms in Seol. Young-woo is on the autism spectrum and is learning how to navigate her career and relationships on her own for the first time.

2. The show beautifully explores the complexities of living with autism in such an honest and vulnerable way. While there can be signs/habits to check for when it comes to autism, the disorder looks different on everyone.
