Watching the totally unexpected and frankly quite extraordinary ratings of ENA cable drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo (Weird Lawyer Woo Young Woo) will be a lot of fun in the coming weeks. And I definitely will check this out sooner rather than later so I can understand and partake of the hype. This Wednesday aired episode 3 and the ratings are unbelievable 4.032%. It’s higher ratings than competitors Eve on tvN, Insider on jTBC, and Jinxed at First on KBS, and an even bigger feat considering it’s airing on ENA which until now was a super niche and small cable network that I’ve never even heard of. Talk about ENA hitting a homerun on the first at bat in the first inning. The drama is also doing well on Netflix with it hitting #1 in Netflix Korea earlier in the week.

PEB is so so charming in this gem of a show. Everyone is well casted and the cases are all pretty interesting. I like that its not draggy and every case concludes in just one episode. Everything about the show feels precious and I am savoring it with glee
I went into the drama with no expectations and boy was I surprised. It such a cute show and Park Eun Bin is so great! The chemistry between all the actors have been top notch! I hope it keeps up the momentum!
same here. I started watching Ep.1 out of boredom but now I’m hooked and can’t help but pray for Wednesday to come faster every week 😆
It's really a nice drama. PEB got the script in the same time than The King's Affection but it was a great opportunity to act a King as an actress and she wasn't sure about acting someone with autism. The production waited for her. They were right! She's really cute in this role and very credible.
apart from her, I think they also waited for Kang Taeoh because he was only confirmed earlier this year although he has received the offer since last year.
This drama is so awesome. I literally pused aside all other wednesday dramas just to watch Attorney Woo first. i just love this show so much and how PEB embodies Woo Young Woo. I like the awareness the show brings about autism and i am learning alot through this show.
it made the both arrogant seos fans gasped lol
Who is Seo?
Seo yeaji from Eve.
Both actresses are great. They played their characters well. I like watching both dramas tho.
Are they rivals?
The only wed/thurs drama that i watch . PEB is just too cute and doing a good job . She is in the field since years now and when she is cast , i watch it . She is a versatile actress with more different roles than the biggest names over their long career . I love the fact that the new generation has more opportunities than the cinderella's role or the girl with an ill fated love .
I thing that some are going to say that i may be crazy but when i watch this drama i see a kind of poetry . It's a warm feeling . There is a french
drama " Astrid and Raphaelle" which also has an autistic heroine who was raised by a single father , she also wears the same headphones as Woo , but she lives alone ( his father died) and works for the center of criminal archives . She is a genius , she works with a woman inspector in chief who at first was intrigued by her . She becomes fond of her and try her best to help her to live in society . As Woo she has a passion too .
I absolutely adore this drama and PEB so far. Watched without any expectations and it turns out so good for us. She has nailed the role almost perfectly. Autism is really difficult to portray but she did a really great job here.
My sister-in-law has Asperger's so Young Woo's struggles and autism hit very close to home. Mr drama addict is so impressed with PEB's acting that this has become his fav kdrama atm. If the writing and acting continue to shine, the drama will soar to greater heights. We've never been so entertained by a law drama since Boston Legal which also has an autistic character called Jerry played by the brilliant Christian Clemenson.
I'm also hooked. This is a feel-good drama, totally worth watching. PEB's acting is superb and her character is too adorable, you just want to cuddle her every time she's on screen. No wonder everyone in the show is so taken with her and she even has suitors already, hehe!!
ENA used to be Skylife and was just relaunched last April, hence the lack of recognition. Extraordinary Attorney Woo was just ENA's second miniseries, after There is No Goo Pil-soo, which drew a peak rating of 0.95% and averaged 0.6%. (When it was still known as Skylife, it aired Crime Puzzle, which had 0.3% ratings on Mondays and Tuesdays 10:30 p.m.) Not even JTBC or TVN can brag about getting a hit and defeating public broadcasters on their second outing.
EAW just broke another network record. Ep 4 - 5.2% nationwide and 5.7% in Seoul.
This drama is just mowing down the competition. Well done!
