In the 6th episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday Drama ‘Law and The City’ (directed by Lee Seung-hyun and directed by Park Seung-woo), Ahn Joo-hyung (Lee Jong-suk), Kang Hee-ji (Moon Ga-young), Cho Chang-won (Kang Yoo-seok), Bae Moon-jeong (Ryu Hye-young), and Ha Sang-ki (Im Sung-jae) were depicted crying and laughing at each word.
Ahn Joo-hyung and Kang Hee-ji, who collaborated at the suggestion of advisor Kim Hyung-min (Yum Hye-ran), met club DJ Kang Chang-joon (Lee Jung-in), who was unfairly fired for trying to help employee Jung Min-gyu (Park Tae-rin), who was assaulted by club president Lee Dong-soo (Huh Hyung-kyu). Ahn Joo-hyung and Kang Hee-ji, who infiltrated the club in search of evidence to prove unfair dismissal, met with Jung Min-gyu and asked for testimony. He then offered a warm hand to Jung Min-gyu, who refused to testify for fear of losing his job, saying, 'If you need help, contact me.'
Ahn Joo-hyung and Kang Hee-ji led the trial by presenting various evidences proving unfair dismissal and finally succeeded in winning the case. Ahn Ju-hyung and Kang Hee-ji smiled at each other and gave warmth as it was the first victory made by working together.
On the other hand, Ha was having a hard time last night due to the name in the article that raised the issue of high-ranking children going to law school. Ha Sang-ki, who had difficulty in telling the details, eventually chose to remain silent, and Cho Chang-won felt sorry for Ha Sang-ki, who only hid his inner feelings, and gradually distanced himself, leaving bitter silence among the fishermen.
Nevertheless, Cho Chang-won still showed loyalty by protecting Ha Sang-ki, who was suffering from coverage on his way home from work. Ha Sang-gi, who thought he could no longer run away for his caring friends, took courage and revealed his past to the world that he had never told anyone. The image of Ha Sang-ki pouring out sad tears after shedding all his poor school days that he had to work in the fall to attend school in the spring made even the viewers feel sick.
Subsequently, Fishermen also shared their secrets one by one and comforted Ha Sang-gi in his own way. Various stories poured in, from Ahn Joo-hyung, who was in charge of his ex-girlfriend's divorce lawsuit, Cho Chang-won, who is an interview lawyer, Bae Moon-jeong, who is in her sixth week of pregnancy, and Kang Hee-ji, who knew all of these. Just as having an entity to share the concerns that the world seemed to collapse if someone found out about it would ease the burden on his mind, the Fishermen showed off their friendship by eating rice soup as usual.
After a long period of consideration, Bae Moon-jung also confessed to her husband Kim Ji-seok (Yoon Kyun-sang) that she was pregnant. Kim Ji-seok was deeply moved with tears, overshadowing his fear of welcoming his child, and Bae Moon-jeong finally smiled brightly. The lovely affection of the mother-to-be and father, who were so excited that their children were coming, also excited viewers.
At the same time, there was a different energy in the relationship between Ahn Joo-hyung and Kang Hee-ji, who won the first collaborative lawsuit. The two gathered for the winning after-party to commemorate their first collaboration and got to know each other by telling their stories one by one. The strange tension between Ahn Joo-hyung and Kang Hee-ji, who sit side by side on the subway and are secretly conscious of each other, as they did in Hong Kong a decade ago, heightened their heartbeat. I am wondering how the relationship between the two people, who met again 10 years after the fresh past, will change.
The viewership of the sixth episode of 'Seochodong' aired on this day averaged 6.1 percent for households in the metropolitan area, up to 7.6 percent, and 6.1 percent for households nationwide and up to 7.3 percent. Both the metropolitan area and the national standard broke their own records, ranking first in cable and general service channels at the same time. In tvN's target 2049 male and female viewership, both in the metropolitan area and in the country, it topped the cable and general service channels at the same time.(Based on paid platforms integrating cable, IPTV, and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea)
