A second K-Drama insider believes that a USA remake of Extraordinary Attorney Woo would be successful due to the success of another remake of a series with a main charcater that is on the autism spectrum. Back in 2017, K-Drama Good Doctor received a USA remake and was just renewed for a sixth season, set to air in October 2022.
My instincts tell me that a remake of Extraordinary Attorney Woo will work out in the USA due to the experience they have gained through Good Doctor.
