In the end, Kang Yoo-seok fell into a sense of helplessness.

In the 9th episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday Drama 'Seocho-dong' (written by Lee Seung-hyun and directed by Park Seung-woo), Cho Chang-won (Kang Yoo-seok), Bae Moon-jeong (Ryu Hye-young), and Ha Sang-ki (Im Sung-jae) faced their limitations and agonized about the future, drawing attention to their choices.

As a result, the nine-time viewership averaged 5.8% and 6.6% for households in the metropolitan area, 5.5% for households nationwide and 6.3% for cable and general service channels, ranking first at the same time. In tvN's target 2049 male and female viewership, both the metropolitan area and the national standard topped all channels including terrestrial broadcasting.(Based on paid platforms integrating cable, IPTV, and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea)




Earlier, Cho Chang-won expressed mixed feelings when his client Do Mi-kyung (Hwang Jung-min), who was unfairly caught up in aiding and abetting voice phishing fraud, was convicted. When Domi-kyung, who couldn't afford to pay a fine, eventually went to prison to work, Cho Chang-won felt the limitations of his job, which he could do only to plead with his client, and began to question the role of a prosecutor.

Therefore, Cho Chang-won had no choice but to take a passive attitude even in the new attempted murder case. The client, Moon Chan-young (Jeon Jin-seo), was charged with attempted murder by not only continuously committing school violence but also injuring the perpetrator who was approaching with a knife. As the conditions were difficult to be recognized for self-defense, he was worried that he would suffer more damage while claiming innocence like Domi-kyung's case.

At the same time, Cho Chang-won burned his determination to reduce Moon's sentence by comprehensively judging the traces of violence submitted by his client Moon Chan-young (Jeon Jin-seo), statements about the incident, and family circumstances. In particular, Cho Chang-won's sincerity is becoming even more curious as he tells a story that seems to imply his resignation, saying, `This could be my last case.'




On the other hand, Bae Moon-jung, who had a friction with her representative lawyer Na Kyung-min (Park Hyung-soo) due to the use of parental leave, took over the task, which she really liked, instead of simply consulting. The owner of the tteokbokki restaurant, who sued the person who made his own branch by bringing recipes, interior design and know-how, shed tears at the sadness of losing everything he worked hard with his hands.

Bae Moon-jung, who was desperate for the president's tears, was heavy after she got pregnant, but she ran on her feet for her client and collected evidence to prove the similarity between the two tteokbokki restaurants and the damage caused by it. Thanks to Bae Moon-jeong's pleading, the other side was sentenced to stop using sales and recipes, providing a sense of exhilaration.

Bae Moon-jung then said to her husband Kim Ji-seok (Yoon Kyun-sang), "I enjoy working," and expressed her honest feelings that she would consider taking parental leave a little more. Kim Ji-seok also impressed Bae by supporting Bae Moon-jeong's choice. However, anxiety is growing as Bae Moon-jung, who woke up to the sound of a brief notification of peace, suddenly complained of abdominal pain.




On the other hand, Ha Sang-ki (Im Sung-jae) began to shake after receiving a proposal from his representative lawyer, Kim Ryu-jin (Kim Ji-hyun), asking him to take a doctoral course. Above all, Ha Sang-ki, who was rewarded by the words 'teacher' of law school trainees he taught, visited the professor and discussed going to the doctoral course. In order to concentrate on studying, attention is focused on which path Ha Sang-ki, who liked to collect money while having to stop working for a while, will take between work and studying.

Every time I solve the cases I was commissioned one by one, a new concern grows in the minds of lawyers. It can be confirmed through 'Seochodong' what decision those who are at the crossroads of choice between dream and reality will make. The growth project of Assault lawyers, who entered the second act of their work lives, will continue in the 10th episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday Drama 'Seocho-dong', which will air at 9:20 p.m. on the 3rd.
