Seoul, August 18 (Yonhap) -- ENA drama “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” (“Woo Young-woo”), leaving its final episode, has recorded a viewership rating of 13.7% as it depicted rookie lawyers stepping forward for their beliefs on what is right and for their colleagues.
The 15th episode of “Attorney Woo,” which was aired on Wednesday at 9 p.m., had an audience rating of 13.7. Although it was slightly lower than the 13th episode (14.6%), the drama recorded its highest rating (15.8%) on the 9th episode, which aired on the July 27, and has been maintaining high ratings in the mid-10%.
In the episode 15, Woo Young-woo's senior lawyer, Jeong Myeong-seok (Kang Ki-young), who was diagnosed with stage 3 stomach cancer, leaves for surgery, and lawyer Jang Seung-jun (Choi Dae-hoon) fills his vacancy.
Under Jang Seung-jun, three colleagues including Woo Young-woo (Park Eun-bin), take on the case of Raon, the largest online shopping mall in S.Korea, which was fined 300 billion won for leaking customers' personal information.
The drama reflects on the reality where the personal information of customers leaking often and ultimately points out that such problem’s responsibility lies on companies that have not invested enough for information protection.
A stronger camaraderie between Woo Young-woo and his fellow lawyers Choi Su-yeon (Ha Yoon-kyung) and Kwon Min-woo (Joo Jong-hyuk) also drew attention.
Choi Soo-yeon tries to argue with a senior who treats Woo Young-woo unfairly, and she argues with what Woo Young-woo suggested, ignoring senior's advice. Kwon Min-woo also confronts his seniors, showing a brave side of him like a fool “for the sake of his colleagues and for what he believes is right.”
The trio contradicted Jang Seung-jun, who tried to take profit by putting his academic relationship ahead of his clients and the judge.
On the other hand, Woo Young-woo and Lee Jun-ho (Kang Tae-oh), who broke up after facing reality, still showed their affection for each other, making audiences to feel heartbroken.
Woo Young-woo asked Lee Jun-ho a realistic question, “Did you ever feel lonely when you were with me?” also making viewers wonder.
