She said, “I don't know the right answer for 'Woo Young-woo'...but I just hope that the answer that I showed you is the best answer.” And while she was satisfied with the way Young-woo was portrayed, she is not sure if she wants to return for ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ season 2, “It's true that I did my best…but this was the job that was personally the most burdensome. I was tired a lot internally and externally. I did my best to do it well until the end  and wouldn’t go back to change anything."

Turns out she also found out about the discussion of ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ season 2 through the news. Park Eun-bin said, “It's...difficult...if you ask me about...season 2. I don't think I can assure you of anything at the moment or what more I can show you...It would be good to put the image of Young-woo in a treasure box with pride.”

Eun-bin also felt that the success of the K-drama would put added pressure as she would not know how to meet the high expectations.

Fans understood Eun-bin’s point of view and said, “It's sad but i respect peb's decision, s1 ended beautifully and let's leave it like that & remember it for a very long time. see you on your next acting project then.”

Another viewer wrote, “Yeah, I can definitely see where she's coming from. She did an outstanding job and the expectation are set. That's a lot of pressure for her. EAW was so much fun, I'd love for it to return but also content with the ending.”

One fan said, “I was fine with the news of EAW s2 but after i read eunbin’s interviews i could feel the burden she got. it’s true that none can pull of wyw character like peb did, but it also meant the expectation towards her is getting bigger as ever. she knows what’s the best for herself.."
