SEOUL, July 21 (Yonhap) -- ENA drama “Extraordinary Attorney Woo,” (Attorney Woo) which is breaking its own highest ratings every episode, surpassed 10% ratings.

Episode 7 of “Attorney Woo,” which was aired on Wednesday at 9 p.m., recorded 11.7% ratings, announced a ratings research company, Nielson Korea on Thursday.

In episode 7, Woo Young-woo defended the residents of Sodeok-dong, who filed a class action lawsuit against the construction of the highway.

Tae Soo-mi , the representative of the law firm Taesan, appeared as an opposing lawyer, implying the secret of Woo Young-woo's birth and heightening the tension.

At the end of the drama, Kwon Min-woo (Joo Jong-hyeok), a fellow lawyer who is convinced that Woo Young-woo was hired through personal connection, posted “I accuse Hanbada of employment corruption” on the company’s board, foretelling the conflict in the future.

The drama corrects stereotypes and distorted social view on disabled people through Kwon Min-woo and maintains the warmth through senior lawyer Jeong Myeong-seok (Kang Ki-young), fellow lawyer Choi Su-yeon (Ha Yun-kyung), and Lee Jun-ho (Kang Tae-oh).

The 16-episode “Attorney Woo,” which started with a rating of 0.9% in the first episode, is breaking its own highest record in each episode.
