Extraordinary Attorney Woo Season 2: The “2026” Mix-Up, The New “Powers,” and Why The Wait is Good News

The “Loyalty” Delay (The Trick!)

Most shows get delayed because of money or bad scripts. Extraordinary Attorney Woo is delayed for a much better reason: Loyalty.

The production team made a rare promise: They will not replace the original cast. This sounds great, but it created a massive scheduling nightmare that is currently blocking Season 2.

1. Kang Tae-oh’s Return: The actor who plays “Lee Jun-ho” (the love interest) only just finished his military service recently. He immediately started filming other projects (like Moon River) to get his career back on track.

2. Park Eun-bin’s Schedule: Because the script wasn’t ready (the writer was busy directing a movie called Deaf Boys), Park Eun-bin filled her 2026 schedule with other dramas.

The “trick” is that the delay isn’t a sign of trouble—it is proof that they refuse to make the show without the original “Whale Couple.” They are waiting until everyone is free at the same time, which likely pushes filming to late 2026 or 2027.
