In the final episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday Drama "Seocho-dong" (directed by Lee Seung-hyun and directed by Park Seung-woo), which was broadcast on the 10th, the new daily lives of Ahn Joo-hyung (Lee Jong-seok), 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) who challenged their favorite work after a long period of thought were unfolded, leaving a deep lingering image.
Ahn Man-soo (Kim Jong-gu) and Ahn Joo-hyung, who gained enlightenment after a real estate lawsuit, quit the company and opened a law firm to do what he had to do. He visited the bereaved family of victims of workplace harassment, which remained a pain in his heart for a long time, and offered a sincere apology, while proceeding with a meaningful lawsuit after Park Man-soo, who died, and spent a different daily life than before.
Kang Hee-ji became a lawyer in charge of public election cases to represent the stories of people who could not speak to anyone. Many people responded shamelessly without acknowledging my fault, but Kang Hee-ji distinguished the public corporation and immersed herself in her work as a lawyer, making her feel her growth.
Cho Chang-won, who quit the company in search of his dream, also realized justice in his own way as a prosecutor. Bae Moon-do, who sought replacement workers instead of Na Kyung-min (Park Hyung-soo), a representative lawyer who is passive in using parental leave, caught both work and childcare at the same time with the strong support of her husband Kim Ji-seok (Yoon Kyun-sang). Ha Sang-ki, who quit his job and went to graduate school, happily reunited with Kim Hyung-min (Yum Hye-ran), who went to law school to achieve his dream of becoming a lawyer on his bucket list, and gave him the warmth he received by supporting his young youth with similar circumstances.

"Seocho-dong", which marked the ending page with a different day of lawyers, is an event of lawyers working at law firmsIt drew sympathy from office workers by drawing a difficult daily life. The day of lawyers who come to work every day with a sigh and briefly rejuvenated during lunch and trudged back to work has aroused a sense of homogeneity among modern people.
In particular, the deeper the grievances and concerns each episode had, the greater the immersion. The process of getting used to it, re-awareness of the fact that they missed and lived, and struggling to find an answer, deeply moved the viewers' minds.
At the same time, the realistic script from the experience of current lawyer Lee Seung-hyun and director Park Seung-woo's unique sensuous production that recreates the scenery of Seocho-dong Law Town have maximized the fun of watching. In the play, actors Lee Jong-seok (played by Ahn Joo-hyung), Moon Ga-young (played by Kang Hee-ji), Kang Yoo-seok (Cho Chang-won), Ryu Hye-young (played by Bae Moon-jeong), and Lim Sung-jae (played by Ha Sang-ki), who are united as five members of the fishing group, doubled their realism.
As everything from directing, scripting, and acting was harmonized, 'Seocho-dong' was well received by not only global fans but also domestic viewers. A customized walking challenge for office workers was also held to make use of the characteristics of the drama reflecting the reality of office workers.
The final episode of 'Seocho-dong', which aired on the same day, not only broke its own record with an average of 7.5% and 8.6% for households in the metropolitan area, 7.7% and 8.9% for households nationwide, but also topped cable and general programming channels at the same time. In tvN's target 2049 male and female viewership, both the metropolitan area and the national standard ranked first in cable and general service channels at the same time, achieving a successful ending.(Based on paid platforms integrating cable, IPTV, and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea)
