With just two more episodes to go before "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" comes to a close, fans have taken to Twitter to lament the end of the beloved drama.

"Me every morning for the past week because it's the last week of Extraordinary Attorney Woo," a fan wrote alongside a deflated Hello Kitty balloon.

Another person posted a collage of photos showing behind-the-scenes snaps of the cast and wrote, "It's hard to say goodbye...Final week extraordinary attorney woo."

"Why make a season 2 when we can make 'extraordinary attorney woo: the movie' where we'll see Hanbada team in their own established firm and wooho married era," a loyal viewer asked.

Another viewer, who seemed to be still reeling from the breakup of the show's lead stars wrote, "youngwoo and junho break up, all the conflict being squeezed into the last two episodes of extraordinary attorney woo. this is my villain origin story."

The series is fifth among Netflix's most popular series, according to Flixpatrol's Aug. 15 ranking. "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" is also number one among the top TV shows that are being streamed in at least 10 countries including Bolivia, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Peru and the Philippines.
