'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' Ratings Rise With Brand New Episode
In its penultimate week of broadcast, ENA managed to rise above the stagnant ratings of "Extraordinary Attorney Woo."
Since its premiere, the series gained massive popularity not only in South Korea but also in other parts of Asia.
The drama enjoyed an all-time high rating, however, Park Eun Bin's comeback drama failed to record a new personal best with its latest episodes.
"Extraordinary Attorney Woo" released its latest episode on August 11, which scored an average rating of 14.7%.
The rating was 1.2% higher than the previously recorded rating. Unfortunately, the new score was unable to surpass the highest viewership rating of 15.7% which was recorded during the ninth episode.
The brand new episode of the series featured how lead actor Kang Ki Young reflected on his life, as well as the bittersweet beauty of love for the highly loved Whale Couple.

'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' Production Responds To Speculations
"Extraordinary Attorney Woo" is recently under fire for using real life problems and real figures for its topics in every episode.
In episode 12, the drama tackled the issue between an insurance company and married couples, with the wives being subject to dismissal under the impression of restructuring.
After the broadcast, Lee Bong Ryun's character, a female lawyer, was said to be based off former mayor-turned-lawyer Park Won Soon.
Despite being an accomplished lawyer and politician, and winning South Korea's first sexual harassment conviction, Park Won Soon was accused of sexual harassment in July 2020 by his secretary.
Because of the speculations that Lee Bong Ryun's character was inspired by Park Won Soon, ENA avoided further issues by releasing a statement.
The production unit stated that just like the other episodes, the story that was featured in the series is an excerpt from the drama's case book.
