Woo Young Woo is frequently associated with whale-related objects and tales. Why were whales chosen instead of other marine species?
In the popular Wednesday-Thursday drama “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” on ENA, the main character, Woo Young Woo (Park Eun Bin), has autism spectrum disorder and adores whales. When she has the opportunity, she tells her colleague Lee Joon Ho various whale-related tales.
When Woo Young Woo has an idea, the image of a large humpback whale appears with a mysterious sound and swims across the sky, creating a relaxing atmosphere for both herself and the audience.
Seeing Woo Young Woo, who resembles a whale – the only mammal in the vast ocean called “Hanbada” – naturally piques the viewers’ interest in whales.
In Disney Nature‘s “Dolphin Reef” (2018), a nature documentary about whales that took more than five years to produce, you can see numerous whale species, including humpback whales and killer whales, as well as other colorful ‘citizens‘ of the sea, such as turtles, octopuses, and sharks.
This film’s narration was provided by Natalie Portman, who played the female lead in “Thor.” The story of sea nature unfolds in an exciting and emotional manner, much like an animation.
The world reflected in the water by the camera is extremely mysterious. Diverse individuals coexist peacefully in a vast colony of colorful reefs.
However, the documentary also reveals the ugly side. The natural food chain exists in the ocean as well. Some large species prey on smaller ones, while others are prey. Whales varied greatly in appearance.
The killer whale, a known marine predator, attacks a humpback whale calf riding on its mother’s back. Additionally, dolphins are hunted unless they travel in groups.
However, the sea remains beautiful. All species, from small lobsters to whales and sharks, coexist.
A coral reef colony, where numerous species form a complex ecosystem, is comparable to a massive city. Although the species are distinct, they create a beautiful landscape when combined. Because of this, Woo Young Woo enjoys whales.
In some ways, whales are estranged and unfamiliar with other species in the marine ecosystem. Whales, unlike other fish, do not lay eggs but instead give birth to young.
Without gills, they must frequently come to the water’s surface to inhale and exhale oxygen. Despite being extraordinary, sensitive, bizarre, and devoid of common sense, they coexist peacefully with a large number of other individuals.
In other words, wouldn’t our society be more beautiful if “extraordinary” people such as the lawyer Woo Young Woo could live in harmony with others?
