However, did you know that before landing the role of Woo Young Woo, Park Eun Bin declined "Extraordinary Attorney Woo."
During her interview with Allure Korea, the actress revealed that at the time, she was also offered to play the lead role in "The King's Affection" with SF9's Rowoon.
The role scored her multiple awards including Best Actress at the 2021 SBS DRama awards.
As for refusing the offer for "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" the actress explained that she is terrified that the role might offend other viewers.
"It's my first genius-type character, and Young Woo is on the autism spectrum. I think I thought about what is considered to be normal when taking on this role," she said.
Thankfully, the public's response is totally different from what she thought and now rakes good reviews from the audience.

While the actress is reaping the rewards of her hard work, it is safe to say that Park Eun Bin will star in another K-drama in no time.
However, outside her acting career, the 29-year-old star is the muse of several brands, including beverage Chilsung, Korean skincare brand The Face Shop, and Rataplan Seoul, and has worked with the Swiss luxury watchmaker Tissot.
