Lee Jong-suk’s Quiet Charm Captivates Viewers in tvN’s ‘Law and The City’



'Seocho-dong' Lee Jong-seok is painting the small screen pink with deep consideration as if indifferent.

Lee Jong-seok, who plays the role of Ahn Joo-hyung in tvN's weekend drama `Seocho-dong,' is leading viewers to immerse themselves by delicately portraying the emotional lines of realistic office workers. Lee Jong-seok's performance, which exquisitely crosses between coldness and warmth, further doubles the charm of the character Joo Hyung.

As soon as Moon-jeong (Ryu Hye-young) looked exhausted, she handed over the chocolate bar and quietly handed over the coffee instead of consolation, showing Joo-won's humanity of showing consideration through actions rather than words. The sincerity of the senior, who was cynical in his speech but warm inside, even touched the hearts of the viewers.




The narrative that connects the past and the present with Hee-ji (Moon Ga-young) is another point of view of 'Seochodong'. Lee Jong-seok added excitement by closely unraveling the feelings of the two, who began in Hong Kong 10 years ago and are now reunited. It proved the power of a romance master with acting that naturally melts the flow of affection and subtle emotions.

In addition, he also stood out as a workaholic with the ability to solve cases. When Hee-ji suffered from allegations of surrogate surgery, she provided practical help with rational advice and professional approaches. It is not just an emotional line, but it shows the ideal type of 'real male friend' who stands by at every important moment in life.

Lee Jong-seok further enhanced Ahn Joo-hyung's trust by expressing his heavy sincerity while controlling his emotions. The `quiet romance power', which instills excitement even in expressionless, is the main driving force of 'Seochodong'.




Meanwhile, tvN's weekend drama 『Seocho-dong" starring Lee Jong-seok airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m.
