The popular K-drama Law and the City, starring Lee Jong Suk and Moon Ga Young, continues to captivate audiences with its unique blend of legal drama and slice-of-life storytelling. The show, which premiered on July 5, 2025, has already crossed its halfway mark, and fans are eagerly awaiting Episodes 7 and 8, set to release this weekend.
Release Date and Time for Episodes 7 and 8
Episodes 7 and 8 of Law and the City will air on July 26 and 27, 2025, respectively. The drama follows a weekend schedule, with new episodes premiering every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM KST (5:50 PM IST) on tvN. International viewers can stream the episodes on Disney+ in select regions, while fans in India can watch it on JioCinema/Hotstar.
The show has been performing well in ratings, with Episode 6 reaching 6.1% nationwide viewership, making it one of the most-watched weekend dramas in South Korea.
Where to Watch Law and the City
For local viewers in South Korea, the drama airs on tvN. Overseas fans can catch it on:
- Disney+ (available in multiple countries)
- Rakuten Viki (with English subtitles globally)
- JioCinema/Hotstar (for Indian audiences)
Unlike many legal dramas, Law and the City focuses on the personal lives and relationships of its characters rather than high-stakes courtroom battles. This approach has resonated with fans, making it a standout in the genre.
What Happened in Episodes 5 and 6?
In Episode 5, Ahn Ju Hyeong (Lee Jong Suk) helped a teacher falsely accused of hitting students by uncovering social media clues. Meanwhile, Kang Hee Ji (Moon Ga Young) defended a young man charged with theft, showing empathy and determination. The episode also explored personal struggles, such as Mun Jeong’s early pregnancy worries and Chang Won’s growing closeness to Hee Ji.
Episode 6 introduced a nostalgic case involving a DJ who lost his job after reporting an assault. Flashbacks of Ju Hyeong and Hee Ji’s past in Hongdae hinted at their unresolved feelings, adding emotional depth to the story. The episode also highlighted Sang Gi’s struggles as his family faced public scrutiny.
What to Expect in Episodes 7 and 8
The upcoming episodes will delve deeper into Ju Hyeong and Hee Ji’s past, with hints that their law school friend Ji Seok suspects lingering feelings between them. The preview teases more flashbacks, revealing how their romance began.
Fans can also expect:
- A new legal case that challenges the lawyers’ skills
- More developments in Mun Jeong’s pregnancy storyline
- Growing chemistry between Chang Won and Hee Ji
- Emotional confrontations as Sang Gi’s family issues escalate
With only 12 episodes in total, the drama is moving quickly, and the next episodes will likely set up major conflicts for the final stretch.
Why Law and the City Stands Out
Unlike traditional legal dramas, Law and the City focuses on the everyday lives of lawyers rather than dramatic courtroom battles. Lee Jong Suk explained in a press conference:
“I think we live in a time where people constantly chase dopamine. I wanted to work on something comforting, and this drama offered that opportunity. I wanted to do something warm and grounded with this amazing cast.”
Moon Ga Young added:
“Law and the City is a human story, about how we grow and connect with one another.”
The show’s mix of legal cases, romance, and friendship dynamics has made it a favorite among K-drama fans.
