Legal dramas are a strong forte of K-Drama land. After Criminal Justice, here’s another legal drama coming our way. One of the most anticipated upcoming K-Drama series ‘ Extraordinary Attorney Woo ‘ starring Park Eun-bin in the titular role will premiere on Netflix India from June 29th, 2022. This KST original has 16 episodes and also stars Kang Tae-Oh and Kang Ki-young in key roles.
Park Eun-bin is coming back to small screens after her super blockbuster show ‘The King’s Affection’ (2021) and hence the hype around Extraordinary Attorney Woo is higher. The show follows the journey of Woo Young-woo, a lawyer who is in the asperger’s syndrome spectrum and works in a large law firm. Woo is extraordinary. She has high IQ of 164, wonderful memory, and is extraordinarily creative but her EQ is low and has poor social skills. How she becomes the smartest lawyer in South Korea despite her asperger’s syndrome disorder and struggling to get through her day to day life forms the crux of the show.
Extraordinary Attorney Woo is written by Moon Ji Won and directed by Yoo In-shik. Yoo In Shik is popular for his work on Dr. Romantic, Vagabond, and Mrs. Cop while Extraordinary Attorney Woo is Moon Ji Won’s second series, first being ‘Innocent Witness’. Kang Tae-oh plays Lee Joon Oh and Kang Ki-young plays Jung Mung Seok.
