SEOUL, July 5 (Yonhap) -- Drama "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" with an attorney diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder as the main actor will be made into an webtoon.
AStory announced on Tuesday that using the in-house method, it will make webtoon based on its own drama "Extraordinary Attorney Woo."
With a total of 60 episodes, writer will be Yoo Il and webtoon artist will be Hwa Um-jo. Stories that were not included in the drama will be released through the webtoon.
This webtoon will be produced in 4 languages (Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese) and will be published globally in the second half of the year. The platform for the webtoon series has not yet been decided.
Over the years, there have been many circumstances where webtoons were produced as dramas or movies. But recently, more number of webtoons are produced at the same time the dramas are aired.
This is to attract drama viewers and webtoon readers at once by actively using IP.
Series of Prequel webtoon was published at the same time SBS Drama “Our Beloved Summer” aired from December last year to January this year.
