Lee Jong-suk Returns to TV After 2 Years with Legal Drama ‘Law and The City’



Lee Jong-seok is making a comeback to his home theater after two years.

tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Seocho-dong' (played by Lee Seung-hyun, directed by Park Seung-woo) which will premiere on July 5 is a drama about the growing joy, sorrow and pleasure of five lawyers (lawyers who are employed by law firms and receive salaries) who go to work in Seocho-dong Law Town every day.

In the play, Lee Jong-seok plays the role of Ahn Joo-hyung, an Assault lawyer belonging to Kyungmin, a law firm. Ahn Joo-hyung (Lee Jong-seok), who has been working for a company for nine years without a single movement in the world where job turnover is frequent, is an official intellectual of the lawyers who do not know anything like his long accumulated experience. It is the ace of Kyungmin, a law firm that leads the trial with sharp reason and facts based on accurate legal knowledge.




In Seocho-dong Law Town, where most lawyers usually open or leave as in-house lawyers before working for more than five years, Anju-hyung is enjoying his life as a salaryman. As a result, I am curious about the life of a salaryman who will represent the hearts of real office workers with an absolute stability-seeking type.

The released photo shows the 24 hours of attorney Ahn Ju-hyung. Ahn Ju-hyung, who goes to work at the exact time every day and sits down with a routine motion, starts the day with "I don't want to do it" but soon goes through the past case and meets the client, spending a busy day. In the image of Ahn Ju-hyung wearing glasses and seriously consulting, the force of an office worker with a full level of ability can be seen. Attention is focused on how Ahn Joo-hyung's calm daily life, which strengthens his will by saying, `I don't want to do it,' even though he sighed "I don't want to do it".

Even a snack-type eating show that enjoys the most important lunch time of the day of office workers is attracting attention. The daily life of Ahn Ju-hyung, who goes to work in Seocho-dong Legal Town every morning, spends the day, and relieves stress with a meal with his friends, evokes a pleasant sympathy among office workers.




In addition, the still cut released alone amplifies expectations for actor Lee Jong-seok, who exudes elite beauty through the Anju-type character. As he has spread the spectrum of acting that believes in genre, he plans to add his own color to the 24 hours of Anju-type.

tvN's new Saturday drama 'Seocho-dong' will premiere at 9:20 p.m. on July 5.
