Fun and witty Filipino memes about the Whale Couple from Extraordinary Attorney Woo.

The Filipino people are known for finding laughter out of painful stories and experiences. Filipinos do not tone down or dismiss a painful or sad story but it is in their culture to uplift each other and to smile despite what one is going through. What happens when this culture encounters a painful and sad Korean drama story?

The Philippines is one of the first overseas country where Korean dramas became popular. Not counting the 1990s Korean dramas, Il Mare (시월애) (2000), My Sassy Girl (엽기적인 그녀) (2001), Winter Sonata (겨울연가) (2002), Jewel in the Palace (대장금) (2003), Stairway to Heaven (천국의 계단) (2003), were very popular in the archipelago nation of more than 100 million citizens. Korean dramas were so popular that some titles were locally adapted and it dethroned Latin American dramas off the airwaves.

It is no surprise that the Filipino culture is reflected in Korean drama memes. One such example is the break up of Woo Young Woo (우영우) and Lee Joon Ho (이준호) in Extraordinary Attorney Woo (이상한 변호사 우영우) (2022). The break up in the series was felt by many fans of the Whale Couple, many fans were able to relate to it when they too once experienced it.

This led to various cool memes about the Whale Couple. Check out a select few below!

A story of an autistic girl who witnessed a crime and fights to be a witness despite people dismissing her credibility.

It is rare to see a movie or a TV series with a proper portrayal of autism. More often than not an autistic character exist in a story because an autistic trait or quirk is used as a plot device, the autistic character was simply a tool to advance a story. Innocent Witness (증인) is different. It introduces the audience to the world of autistics and exposes the discrimination and prejudices of society, most especially from adults who considers themselves normal and supposedly know better.

I recently learned that in some cultures when you're asked, "How are you?" The social expectation is to reply, "I'm fine" regardless if you are actually fine.

If you reply with a negative, like "yeah, I nose is clogged" or "I have a headache but gotta work" or "my debt is due", it is taken that you are subtlety dumping your problems to them; or telling them it's their fault; or asking for help (or money).

So here are the questions:

Is this how it is in your culture?

Which culture/country? (If you are comfortable sharing.)

As an NT, can you elaborate more on why it is so (or not so)?

As an ND, any experiences/stories you can share about this social 'rule' if it exists in your culture?

Any other information, insights, stories you want to share? (Could be related or partly, or maybe another example.)
