tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Seocho-dong' (played by Lee Seung-hyun and directed by Park Seung-woo), which is running toward its peak, is stirring sympathy by expressing the anguish of lawyers who have been searching for what they really wanted to do again after n years of working. In response, I pointed out the list of concerns of the lawyers who cannot miss until the end.
First of all, attention is being paid to Ahn Joo-hyung (Lee Jong-seok), who has been working for nearly 10 years in the world where job turnover and opening are frequent. Until now, Ahn Ju-hyung has been calmly dealing with the incident that comes in with the mind that he should do something he doesn't want to do. However, Ahn Jung-hyung also began to express discomfort over the absurd order from his boss to defend the perpetrators against the bereaved families of victims who killed themselves due to bullying in the workplace. It is becoming curious what kind of choice Ahn Joo-hyung will make after realizing what emotions have weighed on his mind.
On the other hand, Kang Hee-ji (Moon Ga-young) entered Seocho-dong with the goal of becoming a lawyer who protects his precious person with his own hands and touches his client's heart. Although Kang Hee-ji has saved her father from crisis and is striding toward her goal by meeting various clients, there is a huge gap between what Kang Hee-ji thought and reality, and the worries continue. In particular, curiosity is growing about what path Kang Hee-ji will take as she experienced a strange difference in position with her representative lawyer Kang Jeong-yoon (Jeong Hye-young), who thought she had a similar decision to her.
Unlike Kang Hee-ji, Cho Chang-won (Kang Yoo-seok), who became a lawyer without any goals, is deeply helpless due to the atrocities of Sung Yoo-deok (Lee Seo-hwan), a representative lawyer who entrusts all cases of money, and the outcome of the trial that does not go his way. In the meantime, the prosecutor's decision to understand the situation of a young student who became a victim of school violence and attempted murder and seek relatively light punishment resonated heavily in Cho Chang-won's mind. Cho Chang-won's future is also drawing attention as he is showing signs of turnover, such as secretly looking at job postings for experienced prosecutors.
Bae Moon-jung (Ryu Hye-young), who learned that she was pregnant, also started preparing for a job change, drawing attention. This is because he is in conflict with his representative lawyer Na Kyung-min (Park Hyung-soo) over the issue of parental leave. I love working in the office, but the reality is not right to use parental leave, and due to the nature of my work, which often stays up all night, it will inevitably strain my body. Bae Moon-jeong is currently looking for an in-house lawyer position with good welfare from parental leave to in-house kindergartens by visiting seniors who are currently working with childcare. Attention is focusing on whether Bae Moon-jung will go to a job that can guarantee a stable reality instead of what she likes.
The future of Ha Sang-ki (Im Sung-jae), who is struggling to turn a blind eye to what he wants to do due to his family environment, is also something to watch. Ha Sang-ki, who was poor enough to go to school only after earning money after taking a leave of absence, felt rewarded in the process of teaching law school trainees while attending a company for the fun of raising money after getting a job as a lawyer and dreamed of education again. However, since I can't guarantee my immediate livelihood to focus only on studying, I finally decided to give it up. Among dreams and reality, attention is focused on the future of Ha Sang-gi, who is arousing sympathy from viewers with anguish.
As such, 'Seocho-dong' is creating a sense of homogeneity by telling the stories of lawyers about the concerns that office workers have experienced at least once, such as work stress, conflict with their bosses, and parental leave in compliance with the absurd structure. The decision of the lawyers, who are at a crossroads between turnover, resignation and employment, can be found in the 11th episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday Drama 'Seocho-dong', which will air at 9:20 p.m. on the 9th.
