“Extraordinary Attorney Woo” has again set a record for the highest rating achieved by any program on cable channel ENA, becoming the most watched television program across cable and non-cable channels on July 20.
According to Nielsen Korea, the seventh episode of the popular series, aired on Wednesday, achieved a nationwide average rating of 11.690%. This is the highest rating the relatively less known TV channel has ever seen.
This figure is 2.1 percentage points higher than that of the previous episode. It is now the second-highest rating recorded by a cable drama this year to date, next only to the 14.6% achieved by the final episode of “Our Blues” in June.
Nielsen also estimated that “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” pulled in 2.975 million viewers on Wednesday—also the best in ENA history and the third highest this year so far among primetime dramas that air between 9 pm and 12 midnight across all channels. It is only a matter of time before it surpasses “Our Blues” (3.419 million) and “Twenty Five Twenty One” (3.047 million).
In contrast, the two other dramas on bigger cable channels did not even hit 800,000 in viewers. “Eve” (tvN) obtained a 3.685% rating that translates to 786,000 viewers while “Insider” (JTBC) recorded 2.781% and 760,000 viewers.
Starring Park Eun-bin, “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” tells the story of a brilliant lawyer with autism spectrum disorder as she battles to win her cases in court and overcome prejudices. It airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 9 pm KST on ENA, with new episodes also released weekly on Netflix.
