Law and the City unveils Lee Jong Suk‘s character stills.
Law and the City is a story about the joys, sorrows, and growth of five associate lawyers, who work at law firms located in the Seocho Judicial Town.
In the K-drama, Lee Jong Suk plays Ahn Joo Hyung, an associate lawyer at Kyungmin Law Firm. In a world where job shifts are common, Ahn Joo Hyung has worked at the same firm for nine years, making him the go-to source of knowledge among associates, thanks to his long experience. With sharp intellect and precise legal knowledge, he leads trials with facts and logic — the ace of Kyungmin Law Firm.
In Seocho Judicial Town, where most associate lawyers either start their own practice or leave to become in-house counsel before reaching five years on the job, Ahn Joo Hyung continues to enjoy life as a salaried worker without a hitch. As someone who pursues stability, his life as a career associate draws interest as to how it might reflect the mindset of today’s real-world office workers.
The stills capture a glimpse into the life of associate lawyer Ahn Joo Hyung. He arrives at the office at the same precise time every day and sits at his desk in the same routine manner. Though he begins his day with a reluctant “I don’t want to do this,” he quickly dives into reviewing past cases and client meetings. With his glasses on and a serious demeanor during consultations, Ahn Joo Hyung exudes the aura of a top-tier professional. Despite sighing, “I don’t want to do this,” he follows with, “Well, if I’m told to do it, I have to.”
Even Ahn Jo Hyung’s lunchtime — arguably the most important part of a working person’s day — captures attention with his relatable “mukbang” (eating scenes).
Commuting to the Seocho Judicial Town every morning at sunrise, Ahn Joo Hyung ends his busy day by relieving stress over a meal with friends. His routine strikes a pleasant chord of empathy with office workers everywhere.
Law and the City premieres on July 5. News about the K-drama’s global OTT is yet to come.
