K-drama fans are excited about Extraordinary Attorney Woo 2 and hoping the original cast will reprise their roles
As soon as the news broke, fans could not contain their excitement and took to social media to express it. They want to see Park Eun-bin and Kang Tae-oh reprising their roles as the protagonists for the second season of drama and want the production team to showcase similar kinds of stories they have presented in the first season.
Needless to say, the excitement is high, as the drama was a hit when it was airing. At first, the drama received low ratings, but suddenly it skyrocketed into double figures as the concept of the drama revolved around autism and how an individual with the aforementioned condition tackles life and different emotions throughout their life. Park Eun-bin received a lot of praise for her performance as Woo Young-woo in season 1.
The first season of Extraordinary Attorney Woo revolves around Woo Young-woo, who studies hard to become an attorney. Young-woo is on the autism spectrum. She has a strong IQ but struggles to understand people's emotions in her own way. The drama showcased a series of cases pertaining to different aspects of life and how she tacked them together with her fellow colleagues, friends, family, and others.
Extraordinary Attorney Woo season one was helmed by the director Yu In-sik, with Moon Ji-won as the writer.
On the same day, the production company Ace Story responded to the media outlet Wikitree that they had signed the contract for season two with the aforementioned writer but had not taken any decisions regarding the actors or other details of the drama.
Since Kang Tae-oh is currently serving his military service and the writer Moon Ji-won is occupied with other projects, they will take their time to decide on the other crucial aspects of production.
