Why actor Joo Jong Hyuk is receiving both love and hate for his role in 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo'

AKP STAFF

Many 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' fans are angered by the remarks said by 'Tactician' Kwon Min Woo in the latest episodes.

At the end of episode 7, which aired on July 20, Kwon Min Woo (played by actor Joo Jong Hyuk) is seen creating an anonymous post on the company bulletin board "exposing" that Woo Young Woo was hired through nepotism. 

Even in episodes before the latest two episodes, Kwon Min Woo was seen being harsh to Woo Young Woo, saying she is a competitor among the new hires. He was often seen picking on Woo Young Woo by not telling her about the meetings that were scheduled and not sharing documents that were needed for the trials.

When Choi Soo Yeon saw this, she confronted Kwon Min Woo and told him to stop being mean to Woo Young Woo. In response, Kwon Min Woo lets out his true feelings and says, "Isn't this something everyone should be furious and nervous about? It's unfair employment,"in regards to Woo Young Woo getting hired at Hanbada through connections with the CEO. When Choi Soo Yeon refuted that Woo Young Woo's employment is not unfair, Kwon Min Woo continued to raise his voice and argue, "You said her nickname in law school was 'First Place is Woo Young Woo Anyway.' This is an unfair game. Woo Young Woo wins against us every time, and yet, we shouldn't attack her. Why? Because she has autism. We always have to be considerate of her and help her. Don't think that Woo Young Woo is the weak."


After watching this episode, many viewers exploded with anger and took it to various online communities to criticize the character of Kwon Min Woo. Netizens commented, "Tactician Kwon," "When was he considerate of her or helped her?" "That ***** never was considerate of her," "Instead of thinking that she is 'the weak,' can't he understand that everyone is different?" "I wish he gets fired!!!!," and "I really cursed while watching him."

Despite the hate directed toward the character of Kwon Min Woo, the actor was rather praised for his role as many applauded his acting skills. Netizens praised how actor Joo Jong Hyuk was Kwon Min Woo himself because he perfectly played the role.

Netizens commented, "Acting is acting, so cursing at the actor himself is not allowed," "Tactician Kwon, why did you do that?" "Kwon Min Woo, you act so well...I really wanted to hit you," "Tactician Kwon, Kwon Min Woo, you're so good at acting that you made me so mad," and "He really does act really well, I couldn't help but curse at him."

Meanwhile, in the latest episode, Woo Young Woo found out about the truth behind her mother while trying to become independent from her father.
