Season 1

🇺🇸

Woo Young-woo (Park Eun-bin) is a Korean autistic girl who has never spoken - and who loves sperm whales.

She starts talking when she sees her father being attacked by a violent neighbor. She then recites some laws about physical violence. She learned them from her father who works in a library. He is amazed.

As an adult, Woo Young-woo is now working as a lawyer in a big firm, the Hanbada Law Firm. She has an IQ of 164, an amazing memory and a unique way of thinking. But she has low emotional intelligence and seems to be unsociable. She always finds comfort in sperm whales, her totem animal.

Her first day is going to be crucial. She works with attorney Jung Myug-seok, who does not want to collaborate with such an embarrassing newcomer. He gets assurances from the management that if her first case is lost, he can fire her. She has the support and affection of Lee Joon-ho, one of the firm's employees.

Her first case is about a woman who hit her husband. And this woman is none other than the violent neighbor.

Woo Young-woo will be the lawyer who will always find the little grain of sand that can turn a case whose outcome seems obvious.
