Extraordinary Attorney Woo Director Says Popularity of the Series Is Unexpected
Before setting a new high record, the series’ director said they never expected it to boom as it came from a not-a-very-known company.
“If compared to food, the drama is like mild-tasting pyongyang naengmyeon, so I thought it would be great if people who are fond of such topics would watch this drama. But I never imagined people to give such fervent support from the beginning,” director Yoo In Sik said, per Newsen.
Extraordinary Attorney Woo also broke ENAs record by becoming the most-watched Wednesday-Thursday drama on July 7. It also caused the series to set a new record in ENA history as no drama or flick ever achieved such viewership ratings ever.
Nielsen Korea (via JTBC) confirmed the feat, saying that the Park Eun Bin-led drama officially became a gamechanger.
