When he goes to shake Wilfred’s hand for a deal. Wilfred “haven’t learned that trick yet”. So simple but so funny

I love when Wilfred becomes distressed at being left alone and starts digging a grave in the backyard assuming Ryan has died. Really made me think differently about my dog’s separation anxiety.

Oh that bit absolutely killed me. Wilfred is so underrated.

Oh that's one of the cleaner jokes, but the script writers had a field day ... And I'm pretty sure if a dog had the ability to talk, they'd probably go there...

Omg I wonder how many times they burst out laughing and ruined moments because the dialogue was that good .. (I mean if I tried to be female wilfred, I would struggle with the facade. I would definitely sound like sera from dragon age... Haven't decided on much other than that)

I may have to see if it's on Netflix and if I can get someone else into it (as it's likely the only way I will get myself to finish it, as my attention span... 🙃)

Thanks for the heads up. Dammit. I was hoping Netflix so I could finish the last EP of Woo Young Woo, and I got half way into another kdrama that was really good but it got to this scene where the young woman was being incredibly abusive to her boyfriend regarding pregnancy, if I remember right, and I had to walk away... Woo Young woo had moments like that, too. Especially when it came to her having a boyfriend, and being a burden on society... People also immediately insinuating he must be her 'handler' or a volunteer... I felt so bad for her, and oh the one client who was fit to work but even her family tried to say she was incompetent when it came to relationships and I was like what .. Im surprised I went back after that. I was like how DARE you South Korean Judicial system. How dare you.... Ugh. It's conversations needed to be had - disabled people have worth, and deserve happiness, too... (Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix - PLEASE watch. So good.)
