-Extraordinary Attorney Woo Episode 15 Recap Contains Spoilers-
Extraordinary Attorney Woo episode 15 starts with the hacking that has taken place in an online shopping company Raon, which has led to the company being fined 300 billion won because they couldn’t safeguard the personal information of their users. The CEO has come to Hanbada to file a lawsuit against this astronomical fine.
Woo Young-woo on the other hand is still saddened by her breakup as she waits for Lee Jun-ho near the gates of the building. But when he sees her there she rushes out and goes to Jung Myeong-seok who is about to enter surgery. She is then called by Choi Su-yeon to meet the clients.
The case is fought alongside attorney Jang Seung-jun who is the senior leading this lawsuit with the others. He points out that while two other companies have been fined a maximum of 100 million won, this is unfair and based on this point he leads the case. Later, Woo Young-woo points out to him that the law has been changed and the company is to be fined 3 per cent of their net worth which makes the fine acceptable.

However, he is not ready to listen to her and proceeds with the case. He tells her to do things as he tells her to which leaves her confused. She goes to Jung Myeong-seok who has had a successful surgery. She asks him what she should do, however, upon knowing that Jang Seung-jun is in charge of the case, he tells her to lay low.
The next day during the trial, the point that Woo Young-woo brought up earlier is repeated by the defendant’s lawyer which leaves Jang Seung-jun worried. Going back to Hanbada, he tries to find out other ways to crack the case but soon gets the news of a class-action lawsuit being filed against the company.
According to this lawsuit, Raon will have to pay the users of the app 100,000 won each which will be added up to 4 trillion won. If this was not enough then the lawsuit being taken up by Taesan leaves them all speechless.
The CEO of Raon then takes Jang Seung-jun to the side and talks to him about bribing the judge who is an alumnus of the same university these two have gone to. He adds Kwon Min-woo to this plan as he is an alumnus as well. Later, Han Seon-young tells Jang Seung-jun to win this trial without fail.
Jang Seung-jun ends up making a bad impression on the judge who is tricked by his secretary to attend the gathering. Thus, he pushes Choi Su-yeon to represent their side during the next trial. However, when the defendant’s lawyer pushes them to a dead end, the CEO of Raon consumes cyanide in front of everyone.
He is rushed to the hospital but is in a comatose state. The group start to leave but with the reporters waiting outside, Jang Seung-jun pushes the junior attorneys and escapes by himself. This leaves them in disbelief as they somehow escape and go to Kim Min-shik’s diner.
During a discussion, Woo Young-woo is struck with enlightenment and brings the point that the day of the hacking was actually a day before the law was changed. If they use this way then they would have a better chance at the case.
However, when they take this to Jang Seung-jun, he tells them that the information was leaked on the day the law was changed. But Woo Young-woo does not agree and refutes him which only angers him to throw her off the case.

Choi Su-yeon is not ready to accept it and tries to take a stand but is stopped by Hwan Min-woo. He tells her that Woo Young-woo is different from them and they have to act more docile towards their seniors to move forward. While Choi Su-yeon knows that he is right she tells him that it is not bad to be a brave fool once in a while, and shows her liking for such people.
Later that evening, Lee Jun-ho is waiting for Woo Young-woo outside her house when he asks her the reason why she broke up with him. She tells him that it is because she is someone who has to be taken care of which reminds him of his sister’s words. He asks her if that is the reason but she tells him that she is someone who can make those around her feel lonely.
She asks him if there wasn’t any such moment where he felt lonely with her which shuts him up.

But Choi Su-yeon can’t take it anymore and puts forth what Woo Young-woo had pointed out. This angers the former again and tells her that he will throw her out of the case as well.
Choi Su-yeon is not ready to stay quiet but Hwan Min-woo stops her and continues the reason himself, which surprises her. The judge is impressed by this and accepts the reason that they have given which also helps them win the trial.

Today, Woo Young-woo has shown the reality that she had almost forgotten Lee Jun-ho who is unable to answer her when she asks if he felt lonely with her. While he is happy with her, the reality is very different from this because her circumstances can hurt anyone.
Another thing that we have to point out is the relationship between Choi Su-yeon and Hwan Min-woo. This show has taken the ideal circumstances route with the character development of Hwan Min-woo which is only making us feel understanding towards him.
The episode has in a way shown us a calm sea before the real storm and we can’t wait for the finale that is to release tomorrow.
Will Woo Young-woo go incognito for the next few months with her father? How will this affect her relationship with Lee Jun-ho and the others?
We will soon get our answers with tomorrow’s finale. So stay tuned and watch Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix.
