Our ship has officially sailed!
From Episode 1 of IT ISby K-Drama Lawyer Extraordinary Woowe sent lawyer Woo Young Woo (park eun bin) and his colleague Lee Jun Ho (kan tae oh).
“How about thinking of it as a waltz? It’s easy to get out of it if you get into a rhythm. One two three…. One two three.’
I already love these two 😭😭😭#LawyerExtraordinaryWoo #LawyerExtraordinaryWooEp1 pic.twitter.com/nhBYhgNiJ7

And from the very beginning, it was clear that Jun Ho had fallen in love with Young Woo…
Junho has heart eyes for Youngwoo 😍

Over the past few weeks, there has been back and forth between them. Although Jun Ho fell first, Young Woo confessed first.
“My heart was beating like crazy even when I wasn’t touching you at all, so I guess ㅡ
It’s true that I love you”

Then finally at the end of episode 9, after some encouragement from Kwon Min Woo (Joo Jong Hyuk), Jun Ho runs to Young Woo to confess that he loves her too.
“I like you.”
“I love you so much I want ㅡ
my stomach is sick inside.”lee junho our man with the green flag FINALLY CONFESSED 😭#LawyerExtraordinaryWoo#LawyerExtraordinaryWooEp9 pic.twitter.com/7DswtWsV29

In episode 10, Young Woo tells his friends about the confession scene, but reveals that he ran away after being so agitated that his mind went blank.
geurami taunts yw about junho’s confession😭
“Did he say he loved you so much he felt bad inside? Call the doctor, CALL THE AMBULANCE”
& the restaurateur plays the game 😭
“Hello is it 119? Not just 119, but I love 119” HELP😭#LawyerExtraordinaryWooEp10 pic.twitter.com/6BEQfl0MMw— 🍁 (@kdramakocr) July 28, 2022
Her friends encouraged her to hurry up and work things out by dating Jun Ho. Having not dated anyone before, Young Woo asked what to do…
So when he met up with Jun Ho again to confirm that he still loves her, he revealed a style list of dating ideas for them. Although it’s so sweet, Jun Ho really wanted to start by taking her home and holding her hand…
Youngwoo made a long list of “things to do on a date” for them, but then Junho asked him.
“But there’s no going home on the list? Should we add one here? I’ll take you home tonight.”

Although she tried to hold Jun Ho’s hand, it was still too awkward for her and he respected her boundaries. So, they agreed that “holding hands can wait.”
Junho gives Youngwoo freedom and doesn’t force her to do things she doesn’t feel comfortable with, but at the same time slowly enters her world.

However, kisses are not forbidden.
At the end of the episode, Young Woo reflects on the development of their relationship after a case in which a man was jailed for allegedly sexually assaulting his girlfriend because she is disabled. He can’t help but compare the affair to his own relationship, especially considering the reaction of Jun Ho’s friends.
“Even if other people say it’s not, if you say it’s love, it’s love.”
“Loving me is hard.”
“Yes. It seems so.”
“But are you still going to do it?”
“Yes.”

However, Jun Ho reassures her as usual. And if that wasn’t enough to make us love Jun Ho…
“When you’re autistic, it’s not enough to just love someone with your feelings. Even if I love someone, if they don’t love me, then it can’t be love.”
“Even if someone doesn’t love me, when I love them, then that’s love”

When he first considers kissing her, he realizes that she is nervous, so he takes a step back.
imagine how much junho respects youngwoo. he will never do anything Youngwoo feels uncomfortable with. he always asks her consent even for small things. 🥹#LawyerExtraordinaryWoo#LawyerExtraordinaryWooEp10 pic.twitter.com/PICGPmCWut

Then she consents, kissing him first. Not only does it show how respectful Jun Ho is, but it communicates Young Woo’s character development, as he had already run away whenever he got too close to Jun Ho.
Of course, since it was Young Woo’s first kiss, it wasn’t so easy at first. So she asked him for instructions on how to kiss better…
“Do our teeth normally collide while we kiss?”
“Nope… ?”
“So what should I do?
“You can open your mouth a bit and close your eyes too.”
the way junho taught her how to kiss and they kissed again after that OMG??#LawyerExtraordinaryWooEp10 pic.twitter.com/oOsIlPyWMd

Let’s just say viewers couldn’t contain themselves after that!
JH: It will be good if you open your lips a bit and close your eyes
WY: aaah

Viewers are now calling it one of the best kisses in K-Drama history and we can see why.
For me, this is the best kiss in the history of k-drama. an innocent kiss from a woman who is in love for the first time and a man whose kiss is full of warmth for the one he truly loves. ❤️ #LawyerExtraordinaryWooEp10 pic.twitter.com/M0HPEnJ02W

Not only is it super healthy…
Young Woo and Lee Junho’s first kiss after 10 episodes! Everything about this scene is so perfect, even the song 🙈💛
He gives me all the feeling he asked me how to kiss, I’m so in love with this couple! #LawyerExtraordinaryWoo #LawyerExtraordinaryWooEp10 pic.twitter.com/bLDPN7ScWD

The details are so powerful. While K-Drama fans generally don’t like first kisses to be in the dark, he communicated a lot in this scene by having it partially in the dark.
Their silhouettes communicate that not only are they the only thing that matters to each other in the face of the world…
the way the lights went out when their lips touched✨
this scene was a really good shot. the lights go out telling us that the moment is theirs, and theirs alone. 🤧❤#LawyerExtraordinaryWooEp10pic.twitter.com/ECl0wHFDTf

But with the detail of the green light behind them it symbolizes that it’s consensual, a big theme of the episode.
I love how that green light was shown in that kiss scene, it just means someone gave you permission to go ahead/do something, everything about it is consensual 💚#LawyerExtraordinaryWoo #LawyerExtraordinaryWooEp10 pic.twitter.com/CcyeswoPo7
— 아저씨 🐳 (@daheeverse) July 28, 2022
And, seeing them as silhouettes, they just look like two people kissing. No one can judge anyone as disabled.
“Because they turned off the lights, you can’t tell who is disabled and who isn’t. It just shows that two people love each other.”
I CRY best kdrama ever 😭😭#LawyerExtraordinaryWooEp10#LawyerExtraordinaryWoo pic.twitter.com/MVY1XL2MjU

We also love seeing the character development of Young Woo and Jun Ho! We can agree that they really are one of the best couples in a K-Drama.
And it’s so good to see a K-Drama portraying the importance of consent in a relationship! Gone are the days of toxic male leads forcing the female lead.
And, in Young Woo’s case, she didn’t just consent. In fact, she kissed him first.

Previously, in Episode 9, he tried to communicate to Jun Ho that he liked doing more traditional “gentleman” gestures. Read more about this below.
