A Japanese remake of one of Korea’s most loved dramas is officially taking shape. Japanese actors Ashida Mana and Takahashi Fumiya have been roped in for the Fuji TV’s adaptation of Park Eun Bin -led K-drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo , which is set to premiere in October. The casting has already caught the fans’ attention with many excited to see what the remake has in store for everyone, since the original show was popular.
After the first season became a huge hit, a second season was announced. However, the makers were still working on the story, and Tae Oh had to enlist in the military soon after the show ended. Director Yoo In Shik, however, has remained cautious about revealing too much, indicating that there are still several things that need to fall into place before production can officially begin.
fans of the original K-drama are still waiting for an update on Season 2 While the Japanese remake is now moving ahead. South Korean media reports have since suggested that work on Season 2 has started, with writer Moon Ji Won reportedly developing the script.
India also got a show with a similar premise
Ashida Mana, 22, will step into the role of Woo Young Woo, the brilliant young lawyer on the autism spectrum. Colors TV’s Juhi Mui, starring Eisha Singh, came under the spotlight after its promo introduced her as an autistic lawyer with exceptional abilities. The role comes at an interesting point in her career as she recently graduated from Keio University. A well-known child actor, she has kept her acting work relatively limited over the years, choosing to focus on her studies. This project will mark one of her biggest roles since completing her education. Her growing relationship with Lee Jun Ho, played by Kang Tae Oh, became one of the show’s most loved storylines. Along the way, she has to navigate office politics, prejudice, relationships and the challenges of finding her place in a world that doesn’t always understand her. The success of the Korean drama also drew comparisons with an Indian TV show. Soon, viewers began noticing similarities with the Korean drama, especially the premise of an autistic genius finding her place in the legal world. The makers, however, have denied any connection between Juhi Mui and Extraordinary Attorney Woo. Eisha, over a month ago, addressed the similarities to Times Now by saying, “When people started tagging me and commenting about it, I went and checked and realised that this was also a show. Until then, all the research I had done was limited to Indian references. When you make a show, inspiration can come from different places. Since both stories involve legal aspects, there may be some similarities. Our show is very different. Of course, since both deal with autism and have a legal background, comparisons are understandable.”
