[Drama chat] How has Extraordinary Attorney Woo impacted dramaland?
by missvictrix
The extraordinary success that was Extraordinary Attorney Woo is a case of the proof being in the pudding. But the drama’s success also got me thinking: what other good things have come as a result of this drama (besides the drama itself)?
Here are a handful that popped into my head:
- Kang Ki-young finally getting the love he deserves
- Kang Tae-oh’s overnight transformation from wacky side character to swoony heartthrob
- A new/rebranded cable network that recognized a hidden gem and has a full slate at the ready
- Viewers’ overwhelming interest in characters that dig beyond the more typical K-drama leads
What do you think? How has Extraordinary Attorney Woo impacted dramaland?

I loved EAWoo! Hope Season 2 explores: jun- ho back story - and further develop him more as a character
Backstory of the warring CEOs and Dad - why? What happened?
More about younger brother and the 2 siblings developing a relationship
More about Mom CEO developing a heart, soul & conscience & being a mom toYW
Why whales and dolphin obsession comes from
Perhaps conflict in the J-H/ YW romance about exploring a relationship between a neuro- typical & someone on the spectrum---- maybe a new love interest w/ YW meeting someone on the spectrum like her, and she has to choose OR J-H meeting someone he really likes and He has to choose
So many possibilities to explore!! Can it be as good as the first season?

The female lead character does not have to be in the standards of femininity (i.e. feminine behaviours, seducing, attractive, dressing sexy) for a show to be highly successful! But you definitely need a brilliant actress and a brilliant scenario!
Of course Park Eun Bin is a beautiful and feminine actress but her character was not meant to be.

I'm late to the party on this one.
Extraordinary Attorney Woo was an extraordinary show that created a slew of new Kdrama fans. I'm proof of that. Prior to EAW, I never once considered watching a Kdrama. Those shows were never on my radar. Not my type, not my style, not my language. EAW shattered all of those notions in one powerful whale tale like swoop. I can barely stand western shows anymore. It feels weird to not read subtitles. My viewing style is now completely different that what it was prior to EAW. I wouldn't be here on this site contributing if not for EAW.
