A lovely story
A lovely story about a young autistic woman finding her way in the world and overcoming the prejudice she faces through her brilliance in her field.
It lost some points for the savant bit - as savantism is actually incredibly rare, but over done. And she was a walking autistic stereotype - in a “high functioning” individual it is unlikely that they would be quite as autistic as Woo Young Woo. I think this would have been helped by having more neurodivergent input into the making. Despite that, I really enjoyed the story.
I found the depictions of how Woo Young Woo was affected by noise, and her little idiosyncrasies well done, it captures the overwhelm really well.
I love the use of wales as her special interest, I like that she uses her friends and family to learn about life and how to deal with the world around her, I like the education aspect. The greeting between Young Woo and her friend was brilliant!
The child actor that played Young Woo was really very good, she portrayed a young autistic child very well.
I will certainly watch this again.
