ABSTRACT   Persons with physical and mental disabilities continue to face discrimination from society. This study aims to describe the forms of ableism represented in the Korean drama series Extraordinary Attorney Woo. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, employing John Fiske’s semiotic approach to codes in film. The results of this study reveal various forms of discrimination, both subtle and overt. Subtle discrimination includes the perception that persons with disabilities must always be helped, are weak, and are in constant need of assistance. Overt discrimination appears in the form of derogatory remarks, limited access to employment opportunities for persons with disabilities, and other forms of social exclusion.
