The drama's production agency AStory on July 14 said it is reviewing offers to remake the program in the U.S.
The series has an average rating of nine out of 10 on the Internet Movie Database, or IMDB, of the U.S. Comments by overseas viewers on the drama include "It's a very touching and heartwarming drama," "It's the most interesting Korean drama I've ever seen despite just four episodes being released (so far)" and "Park Eun-bin (who plays the main character) delicately but realistically reflects the difficulties faced by people with autism."
The series is about Woo Young-woo, an autistic but genius young lawyer who solves cases at a big law firm in her own ways.
