Screenwriter of Extraordinary Attorney Woo Signs Deal for Season 2

Hhhhmmm, not sure how I feel about it. K-ent is reporting that the screenwriter of mega hit small cable drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo has signed a deal with the same production company for a season 2. It’s with the production company so my first thought is that it may not end up airing on ENA and could go to a bigger channel. The drama was excellent and I think with the episodic legal cases it absolutely can do a second season BUT with romance aspect happening by the end of the first season the worry is that the second season will lean in on that whereas viewers want more of Young Woo’s growth story as an autistic lawyer. Another issue is Kang Tae Oh is currently in the army but if this second season takes it time being mapped out which is a good thing then it can wait until he returns in 2024 to film.
