Today, we’ll be discussing Episode 11 of Extraordinary Attorney Woo, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Park Eun-bin as Woo Young Woo, Kang Tae-oh as Lee Jun-ho, Ha Yoon-kyung as Choi Soo-yeon, Joo Hyun-young as Dong Geu-ra-mi, Kang Ki-young as Jung Myung-seok, and Joo Jong-hyuk as Kwon Min-woo. We discuss:

  • The songs featured during the recap: Overture and Junho Being Brave (Let me be your hug chair) by Roh Young Sim

  • The legal case about three gambling friends and a disputed lottery ticket—and the moral, ethical, and legal dilemmas it raises.

  • Attorney Jung’s surprising soft side, as he takes on a questionable case swayed by a couple’s sob story and a broken heel.

  • Article 103 of Korean civil law that states that contracts that violate social order are null and void.

  • The twist when the plaintiff, Shin Il-su, asks about keeping lottery winnings in a divorce and how Korean law defines marital vs. non-marital property.

  • Woo Young Woo's internal conflict about helping a client who may have lied and cheated, echoing the ATM case and her evolving stance on ethics.

  • The white truck of doom strikes again, killing Shin Il-su and transferring his lottery winnings (and insurance payout) to his unsuspecting wife.

  • A key moment in Woo Young Woo and Lee Jun-ho’s relationship: a traumatic accident, sensory overload, and Jun-ho calming her with a deep pressure back hug.

  • A major turning point in their romance: the sweet kiss in front of her house, witnessed (shockingly!) by her dad, Woo Gwang-ho.

  • Choi Soo-yeon’s brush with a scammer who targets professional women. Thankfully, she’s warned off just in time by another victim.

  • Kwon Min-woo's shocking betrayal: he tells Tae Su-mi her secret is out and offers to get Woo Young Woo fired in exchange for a job at Taesan.

  • A cameo appearance by Kang Myung Joo as the judge—she also played Ban Ji Eum’s mom in See You in My 19th Life.

  • The amazing comedic timing of Joo Hyun-young, who plays Dong Geu-ra-mi, and her background in Saturday Night Live Korea and other variety shows.
