Extraordinary Attorney Woo K-drama remakes in US and other countries to be ‘the greatest success’ for production company behind the original

By Lee Gyu-lee About half a year has passed since Extraordinary Attorney Woo shot to popularity around the world.

The legal drama series topped Netflix’s streaming chart for non-English television shows for nine weeks after its release in June 2022.

Now, Extraordinary Attorney Woo is being turned into a franchise and – according to chief executive and co-founder Lee Sang-baek – the series’ production company, AStory, is expecting it to be one of the biggest successes in its history.

“Our priority right now is the US remake of the series, because of its huge market,” Lee said.
