“Extraordinary Attorney Woo”, a recent television success of the ENA, will be adapted into webcomics.
All 60 episodes of the webcomics version of “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” based on a TV show of the same title will be serialized on the NAVER Webtoon platform starting Wednesday. AIMC, a subsidiary of Astory that created the show, will produce the comic book version, drawn by illustrator HwaUmJo and written by Yuil. The webcomics version will include additional episodes that were not included in the TV show and will be released in other languages including English, Japanese and Chinese for overseas fans.
The pre-released poster features main character Woo Young-woo’s happy face with short, round hair, just like actress Park Eun-bin in the TV version, wearing big headphones. She is surrounded by kimbap, her favorite food because she can see all the ingredients at a glance, while a whale, symbolizing her mood and identity, swims across the sky.
The legal drama revolves around rookie lawyer Woo Young-woo, who has an extraordinarily high IQ and an autism spectrum. The series features the challenges Woo faces when working for a large corporation and how she grows from her experiences. The show started on June 29 with 0.9% viewership, but jumped to 13.1% on its eighth episode. The show’s popularity goes beyond its domestic market – it was one of the most-watched non-English TV shows on Netflix globally, and also made it into CNN’s report as a Korean hit. recent.
