Hit K-Drama 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' in Talks for US Remake
The television series is seeing global success after airing just the first few episodes.
Extraordinary Attorney Woo, the latest K-drama to hit Netflix, is already seeing success after airing just a few episodes so far. According to reports, channel ENA received an offer for a U.S. remake of the show.
For those who have yet to watch the series, the South Korean title follows Woo Young-woo (played by Park Eun-bin), a young lawyer with autism spectrum disorder who tackles cases after joining one of the biggest law firms in the country. The show has been compared to titles like Good Doctor, a 2013 show about an autistic pediatric surgeon that has also received a U.S. remake starring Freddie Highmore.
Upon its release, Extraordinary Attorney Woo has been taking the top spot among all Wed-Thurs dramas in South Korea. The show recorded some of the highest ratings, with 0.948% for the first episode, followed by 1.805% for the second episode. On Netflix, the series topped the non-English category on the streamer’s Global Top 10 chart, reaching over 23.95 million hours from July 4 to 10.
