Extraordinary Attorney Woo is an internationally licensed South Korean law drama series directed by Yoo In Shik, and written by screenwriter Moon Ji Won.
Twenty-seven-year-old lawyer Woo Young Woo graduated at the top of her class at the prestigious Seoul National University for college and law school. Boasting an impressive memory, a wonderfully creative thought process, and a 164 IQ score. However, due to her Aspergers Syndrome, she still finds herself struggling in everyday interactions.
Given the overwhelming popularity of the series, it should come as no surprise that a second season is happening. In South Korea, the finale saw its biggest audience share of the entire season, amassing a nationwide rating of 17.534%.
Extraordinary Attorney Woo now sits in 7th place as South Korea’s highest-rated cable television drama of all time. When you take into consideration the first episode received less than 1% of the nationwide ratings, its meteoric rise is that much more impressive.
When the announcement was made that Extraordinary Attorney Woo would be returning for a second season, ASTORY CEO Lee Sang Baek stated there are no plans to replace the cast, and if there are no unexpected changes then the goal is to bring back at least 90% of the cast from season 1.
