However, these adaptations often face significant scrutiny, particularly from fans of the original series. The upcoming show on Colors TV, Juhi Mui, featuring Eisha Singh, has sparked a debate after viewers pointed out its similarities to the acclaimed Korean drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo.

During the discussion about the online feedback, Eisha mentioned that she only became aware of Extraordinary Attorney Woo after fans began tagging her in comments. She explained, "When people started tagging and commenting, I checked it out and realized it was another show. Until then, my research had been focused solely on Indian references."
The actress emphasized that her preparation for Juhi Mui was based entirely on Indian influences and the people she consulted during her research. She was unaware of any similar international shows at the project's inception. Eisha later watched parts of Extraordinary Attorney Woo after the audience began making comparisons.
She remarked, "When creating a show, inspiration can come from various sources. Since both narratives involve legal themes, there might be some overlap."

Addressing the unavoidable comparisons, Eisha acknowledged that viewers might naturally see parallels due to both stories featuring autism and a legal context. However, she asserted that Juhi Mui possesses its own distinct identity. She stated, "Our show is quite different. Naturally, when autism is involved and there's a legal backdrop, comparisons may arise."
In conclusion, Eisha reiterated that Juhi Mui has been tailored for Indian audiences and includes numerous elements that differentiate it from the Korean series. She expressed, "Our show is very unique. It has been Indianized, and viewers will encounter many aspects that are not present in that show."
