However, fans of the show are not exactly happy with the idea of an English remake of the show and believe the true essence of the drama lies in its Korean version and performances, which lends it an authentic flavor as well.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo will return with season 2 once lead actor Kang Tae-oh completes his military service.
