While there is news of a second season, fans of the show can’t help but feel saddened that there will be no new episodes of the incredible drama for the foreseeable future. Since the drama’s end, many viewers might be wondering what they should watch next — and we were thinking the same thing! So here are some K-Dramas to watch if you’re missing “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”.
1. “Move To Heaven”
“Move To Heaven” follows GeuRu (portrayed by Tang JunSang), a young man with autism spectrum disorder, and SangGu (played by Lee JeHoon), an ex-convict and GeuRu’s uncle. GeuRu, along with his father, worked as a trauma cleaner for the company “Move to Heaven”. One day, his father passes away and his uncle, SangGu, shows up, becomes his legal guardian, and the two start working together. The entire series is moving, filled with lessons of life, death, and familial bonds. The attention and care that GeuRu gives to the deceased is awe-inspiring and despite being born with autism spectrum disorder, he gives his absolute best towards his work. SangGu might start off as the crass, rude uncle, but he slowly grows to genuinely care for and appreciate GeuRu as the show progresses. “Move To Heaven” is nothing short of amazing and should definitely be on your watch list.
2. “Law School”
“Law School” sends its cast and viewers on a wild chase for the truth in order to solve the unprecedented mystery of the most prestigious Korean law school. The drama has an incredible cast which includes Kim MyungMin, Kim Bum, Ryu HyeYoung, Lee JungEun, Lee SooKyung, Lee David, Go YounJung, and Hyun Woo. “Law School” starts off shrouded in mystery with a sudden death among the teaching staff. This causes both teachers and students to become involved in the case. It’s interesting to see how so many cast members are connected to the incident and the part they play toward its conclusion. While looking into aspects of the case, viewers also get to see the grueling process of being a law student and the pressures they face from their instructors, peers, and family. For those passionate about the law, this is definitely the drama for you.
3. “Good Doctor”
Just like “Extraordinary Attorney Woo”, “Good Doctor” gained massive popularity and fame during its run, and consistently topped the ratings in its timeslot. The extremely successful K-Drama earned many awards and nominations for its intriguing plot and acting skills of its impressive cast. Even before the rise of streaming sites, “Good Doctor” received much overseas attention, prompting various remakes of the drama from the United States, Japan, and Hong Kong. The medical K-Drama features top stars Joo Won as Park SiOn and Moon ChaeWon as Cha YoonSeo. Park SiOn is found to be a savant on the autism spectrum, and with his genius-level skills, becomes a pediatric surgery resident. He first meets Cha YoonSeo, another resident in pedatric surgery, by chance and eventually the two become pillars of support for one another. This is another heartwarming drama that shows even those with autism can be an essential part of the workforce and contribute to society.
4. “Yumi’s Cells”
Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, “Yumi’s Cells” follows the story of ordinary office worker YuMi (played by Kim GoEun) through the perspective of the cells in her head. Alongside her is emotionless, yet romantic game developer Goo Woong (played by Ahn BoHyun) who wakes up YuMi’s love cells. There’s a lovely quirkiness to this drama, as it switches between live action and animation, showcasing YuMi’s internal struggles through her cells. While the animation adds a fun, lively element to the drama, a deep-felt sincerity develops from YuMi and Goo Woong’s relationship as they spend more time together. You can’t help but smile as you root for their budding romance. And with a second season already out, there’s definitely a lot of episodes of the show to binge.
5. “The King’s Affection”
Featuring “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” star herself, Park EunBin, “The King’s Affection” is a historical romance K-Drama based on the manhwa of the same name. The cast also includes SF9’s RoWoon, Nam YoonSoo, VICTON’s ByungChan, Bae YoonKyung, and DIA’s Jung ChaeYeon. It follows Lee Hwi (Park EunBin) who became the fake crown prince after the death of her twin brother.
