Upon reaching Sodeok-dong, the group is taken on a tour around the village with an average resident age of 65. The village head takes them to meet the unique characters of the village and ends it with a trip to the Hackberry Tree which is like a guardian tree to the village. While they had once tried to get it the title of a natural monument, they couldn’t do so. He shows the group the beauty of this village and once again requests the attorneys to take on this case.
The group returns to Hanbada and this time they are filled with the energy to fight for the village. Jung Myung-seok tells the three that Lee Jun-ho has brought all the documents related to Haengbok-ro (the road that is being built across the village). He tells them that they have to go through it but the group is surprised when they look at the mountain of documents in his office. With no other choice, the trio go through the documents day and night.
Lee Jun-ho drops by to give additional materials and some snacks to Woo Young-woo and Choi Soo-yeon when the latter notices the way he is looking at Woo Young-woo. She tells Woo Young-woo that she is sure that Lee Jun-ho likes her but she denies it saying that she has already asked him but got no reply. Choi Soo-yeon tells her that she interrogated him and then asks about her feeling for him. Woo Young-woo tells her that it is not easy for someone to like her because of her autism.
Later in the evening, Dong Geurami discusses Lee Jun-ho with Woo Young-woo while she tries to find out how she feels about him. Upon remembering her moments spent with Lee Jun-ho a blush starts creeping on Woo Young-woo’s face and Dong Geurami points out that she likes him. She then suggests Woo Young-woo to touch him and see if her heart beats like crazy, if it does then she likes him.

At the trial, the attorneys realise that they will have to fight with Taesan’s CEO Tae Soo-mi which surprises them. Upon putting forth the alternate routes that are available for the construction, Tae Soo-mi refutes back with the reason why they aren’t ideal. She also turns the case in her favour after an outburst from the village chief and points out that they are filing this lawsuit for more compensation and nothing else. Later at home, Woo Young-woo is searching for information about Tae Soo-mi when her father sees it and is surprised, after which he is told that she is on a case with Tae Soo-mi on the opposing side.

Woo Gwang-ho asks her if she hired Woo Young-woo to attack Tae Soo-mi and if she did then he will give her one opportunity to do so. He doesn’t mind if he is seen as a bad parent but the world doesn’t give someone like Woo Young-woo a chance to show what she has got and he just hopes that she will not be fired from Hanbada. After saying this he leaves and meets Woo Young-woo on the way out of the CEO’s office. Later Hwang Min-woo tells her that she must have been hired into Hanbada through connections with the CEO.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo Episode 7 Review
Extraordinary Attorney Woo episode 7 starts off a new chapter for Woo Young-woo with more troubles than ever. Starting off with the truth about the job that she thought she got because of her capability but turns out that it was all because of nepotism. While it is not her fault, she will have to bear the burden of this, especially after Hwan Min-woo’s post which is going to bring a storm into her life. She is not only emotionally hurt after her father’s confession but will be mentally tortured after the news breaks out because there are people who will not be able to accept such biased hiring.
On the other side, there is a big secret that can be dropped on her at any time, the secret of her mother. While she misses a motherly figure in her life, she is idolizing Tae Soo-mi after this trial while unaware that she is her mother. This is going to be an even greater shock to her in the future as I have a feeling that these two are going to get closer before the big reveal.

But there’s a silver lining named Lee Jun-ho who is here to help our protagonist make it through these troubles. Today’s episode gave us more of this extremely lovely couple that knows how to warm our hearts. I really want to thank these two for making every episode so special. Their little misunderstandings and the way they solve them makes my heart race like crazy because I am in love with this couple!
I also want to appreciate Choi Soo-yeon for being the tsundere character that she is, a harsh exterior and a warm heart. Let’s hope that she does not change and remains by Woo Young-woo’s side through the upcoming troubles.
This episode opens up the question, is Hwan Min-woo right in some way? While it is asked of the court to treat her like any other attorney, is it okay to show partiality to her when it comes to other things? But there’s also the factor that even after passing with flying colours from law school she was not hired because of this very bias. A double-edged sword that needs balance on both sides. If Woo Young-woo was given the same opportunities as any of her fellow graduates because of her ”special circumstances” then she wouldn’t have been hired because of these very ”special circumstances”.
What do you think about today’s episode and the nepotism that Woo Young-woo unintentionally got thrown into? Let us know in the comments below!
Till then, watch Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix.

It’s not nepotism. At least not in the USA because they are not related. There is nothing wrong with an acquaintance offering a position to the child of someone they know. At least not in the USA. This is how a huge amount of people get work. This is more in the vein of networking. And she has the credentials to back up being hired. She also had the senior attorney test her out. Min woo is probably a spot for Taesan. I actually think he’s Young woo’s brother.
While it is not a big deal for others to get a job through connections, for Woo Young-woo to get this job the same way makes her seem less capable because of her autism. People will not look at her capabilities but only at her autism, and even say that she only got the job because of her disability. I really like your theory about Min-woo.
“spy” not Spot. The pop up ads kept blocking what i was writing. Sorry.
