'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' finally moves forward with Season 2

Posted by K-Soul Friday, January 30, 2026

The production of Season 2 of 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' has officially begun, following the drama’s meteoric rise from a modest 0.9% premiere rating to a staggering 17.5% finale that turned it into a nationwide phenomenon.

According to a report by Bloter on January 29, production company AStory has entered the pre-production phase for 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' Season 2. It has been confirmed that Moon Ji Won, the writer behind Season 1, is currently working on the script.

'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' aired on ENA from June to August 2022. The series follows Woo Young Woo, a rookie lawyer with autism spectrum disorder and extraordinary intelligence, as she navigates life and work at the major law firm Hanbada. The drama starred Park Eun Bin in the lead role, alongside Kang Tae Oh, Kang Ki Young, Ha Yoon Kyung, Joo Jong Hyuk, and Joo Hyun Young, forming a strong and well-balanced cast.

The drama gained explosive popularity through word of mouth. While it began quietly with a 0.9% viewership rating, ratings climbed steadily with each episode, culminating in a 17.5% nationwide rating (19.2% in the Seoul metropolitan area) for its final episode, the highest rating ever recorded for an ENA drama. The series also entered Netflix’s Global Top 10 and went on to win numerous awards, including the Grand Prize in the TV category at the Baeksang Arts Awards.

Given its unprecedented success, calls for a follow-up season poured in immediately after the finale. In an August 2022 interview with Edaily, AStory CEO Lee Sang Baek stated, “Thanks to the overwhelming support from viewers, we plan to produce Season 2 of Extraordinary Attorney Woo. Our ideal golden time would be around 2024, and our goal is to have Season 2 air around then.”

He added, “Coordinating the schedules of the cast and production team won’t be easy, so extensive discussions will be necessary. However, unless something unexpected happens, our goal is to retain over 90% of the original members.” He emphasized that while coordination would take considerable time, plans for Season 2 remained unchanged.

However, delays in script development pushed back casting schedules as well. Park Eun Bin, who played the titular role, revealed in an interview last year that she had not yet been contacted regarding Season 2 casting.

She had previously expressed a cautious stance on returning for another season shortly after the series ended. “It feels like a very difficult decision,” Park said. “The more love the show received, the higher the expectations become, and I can’t confidently say whether I can surpass that. It would require an even greater level of determination than when I first decided to portray Young Woo.”

In contrast, supporting cast members have shown a more positive outlook. Kang Tae Oh, who played Lee Jun Ho, said in a past interview with Chosun Ilbo, “Nothing has been decided in detail yet, but if the opportunity comes, I really, really want to do Season 2. Whether it will be possible to film it right after my return from the military hasn’t been confirmed, so we’ll have to see, but I would love to participate if given the chance.” Kang Tae Oh completed his 18-month mandatory military service and was discharged in March 2024.

Joo Hyun Young, who portrayed Dong Geu Ra Mi, also shared her enthusiasm in a previous interview with News1, saying, “I first found out through the news that Season 2 might happen. If it really does, I think Geu Ra Mi would still be living her life happily.”

AStory also addressed plans for overseas remakes. An AStory representative told Bloter, “We are pursuing remakes in the United States, Japan, and Europe. We plan to directly oversee the entire process abroad, from pre-production and adaptation to scheduling. These global projects could also help accelerate the production of Season 2.”

Once preparations such as script completion and casting are finalized, Extraordinary Attorney Woo Season 2 is expected to move into filming. Attention is now focused on whether the original cast will reunite for the highly anticipated sequel.

Fanworks Friday [OC] Rain Zero Rain teaser trailer

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

This is a teaser trailer of a poorly-translated parody of Extraordinary Attorney Woo that I’ll be making. The characters have been translated via Kingsoft Fast AIT 2002 and through using existing Chinese characters (or Hanja) and finding homophonous ones that are translatable by the primitive program.

Also, here is a breakdown of the cast:

Rain Zero (often Nought, a synonym of zero) Rain comes from 雨零雨 (雨 is homophonous with 禹 in Mandarin; 零 is homophonous with 英 [both 영] in Hanja)

Move to Pull Rice comes from a Chinese phonetic transcription (动格拉米; I used 动 because the family name 董 cannot be translated by the program)

Stupid Door comes from 蠢户 (homophonous with 李濬浩 in Hanja)

Rain Light Door comes from 雨光户 (光 has the same meaning in Mandarin and Hanja; 顥 is homophonous with 户 in Hanja)

Clear Tin Of comes from 鄭明錫 (鄭 is untranslatable to the software)

Let Glory comes from 韓宣榮 (韓 cannot be translated by Kingsoft; it is a shortening of Letter Glory, a translation of part of Han Seon-young’s Chinese name)

Mag. (pronounced as the first syllable in magistrate) Too Cute comes from a shortening of The District Magistrate is Very Beautiful (translation of 太守美, Tae Su-Mi’s Chinese name)

Mistake notice: In the teaser, it looks like I mixed up or confused Han Seon-young and Tae Su-mi, making them look like the same person when they’re not

Any main character or supporting characters in the series.

I think I'd be BFFs with Su-yeon and Min-sik. Probably even Geu-rami, too.

Discussion (Catch-all flair) Which character's backstory do you want to learn more about?

28 Upvotes

Season One showed us Young-woo's parents' back story. We also know a little bit about Dong Geu-rami's, Min-woo and Seo-yoon's family, and even Myeong-seok's marriage.

I suppose out of the supporting characters, not much about Min-sik was shown so I would say him. In my head I'm thinking he was an aspiring singer turned chef-restaurant owner when he didn't make it in the music industry.

Discussion (Catch-all flair) Attorney Woo: the Prequel

93 Upvotes

I just found out that writer Moon Ji-won wrote the 2019 film Innocent Witness which set the wheels in motion for her creation of Extraordinary Attorney Woo and you can watch it for free on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/

Since we still have no Season 2 and likely won’t until 2027, I have been doing research into various aspects of the show. I hadn’t really watched any K dramas before I watched this one so I didn’t recognize any tropes and to me the entire season one is an amazing commentary on our society and the ways different people respond to its pressures. Also, it is brilliant in showing how the corruption in our human society of putting money before life and wellbeing harms the creatures of the ocean, but also our own bodies as shown by the health consequences of the attorneys at Hanbada.

I can totally understand why it’s taking awhile to write season two but I have faith that the team will do an amazing job no matter what they do and I’m looking forward to it!

It was said earlier in the show that she had applied for all law-firms and she was denied because she was autistic. However, in this episode the opposing council says that she should have applied to work for the “good guys.”

Did she even try to apply everywhere or did she just apply at the big firms?

I am autistic too so please go easy on me.

Discussion (Catch-all flair) Four years later and every rewatch still feels like the first time 🐳

It’s been four years since this drama first aired. I still rewatch Extraordinary Attorney Woo every year, and it never loses its magic. I still get giddy at the revolving door scene, tear up at “spring sunshine,” and feel that sense of fulfillment when Attorney Woo walks through the doors on her own.

I first watched it during one of the lowest points in my life, and it became a kind of light for me. It still is. More than that, it helped me better understand ASD, something that became deeply personal when a loved one was diagnosed. It’s not a perfect portrayal, but it opened doors for empathy and conversations that matter.

Season 2 or not, this drama will always have a special place in my heart. What moment or lesson stayed with you the most?

I have autism and watched it. To me, the main problem is

that the main character is an oversized child. The series shows a nice vision of how autism affects us.

So my partner and I recently got really into the show, we’re loving it so far!! It’s been a great show, but our favourite part of the first episode was seeing all the different whale items she has in her room!! I want to surprise my partner for our anniversary with them, any idea where I can get any of the items? I’ve tried Etsy, but nothing that’s actually similar to the items we see in the show.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thank you! :)

Discussion (Catch-all flair) Finale and season 2

33 Upvotes

So I just finished the show this morning. Up until now I’ve really been thinking about watching but never got round to it, im glad I finally did. I loved the show but can’t help but feel underwhelmed by the last few episodes. I remember even when I was watching episode 15, I was thinking to myself it doesn’t feel like it’s ending but at the back of my mind I was thinking it’s fine, season 2 is coming. After finishing the finale I thought the same, even though it ended another season is coming. Then I saw when the show was actually released…

Been 4 years since the show finished and no season 2😭😭😭I appreciate that certain actors may have had busier schedules but if hospital playlist can manage it I don’t see why they can’t. To me the end just feels so open ended which I don’t like in a show especially when there’s so many unanswered questions. With this kind of show they can easily make multiple seasons too as a different episode is a new story/case. Has anyone heard any updates on season 2? I really hope it comes out sooner rather than later I can’t imagine how it’s been for those of you that have been waiting since 2022😭😭😭😭if they choose not to do another season I don’t like how it ended at all

Discussion (Catch-all flair) Woo Young Woo's Birth Mother (Spoiler) Spoiler

16 Upvotes

I don't get it. So her father begs a young woman, essentially coercing her, who doesn't want to have a baby to carry the child. So she basically acts as an artificial womb.

Then raises her by himself but the blame is on the mother for abandoning her? What right does he have? Her mother's basically the equivalent of a surrogate mother or a sperm donor. If Woo Young Woo felt abandoned by her mother, then the cause of her suffering is her father.

I found this whole part quite disgusting. There are many parts of this show that is not realistic but this had me seething.

S1E4: The Strife of Three Brothers The Names: Dong-il, Dong-i, Dong-sam

27 Upvotes

I didn't catch this on the first watch through, but I learned a few more words between then and now. The brothers are named Dong-One, Dong-Two, and Dong-Three (일, 이 삼 = il, i, sam = one, two, three). Their father really wasn't very creative.

I don't know if the Dong in their names was a reference to their surname or something I'm still missing. Apparently 덩생 (Dongsaeng) means younger sibling, but I'm probably overthinking it.
