Lee Jong Suk is making his much-anticipated return to the K-drama scene with the upcoming legal drama Seocho dong. Following a two-year hiatus since his last role in Big Mouth, fans are thrilled to see him take on a complex character in this new series, confirmed by his agency ACE Factory on November 5, 2024.
Seocho dong will explore the lives of associate lawyers working in Seocho, a prominent judicial area in South Korea. The drama aims to portray a realistic view of the challenges and dynamics faced by lawyers as they navigate various legal cases.
Lee Jong Suk will play Ahn Joo Hyung, a seasoned associate lawyer with nine years of experience at the same law firm. Unlike the typical portrayal of lawyers as champions of justice, Joo Hyung is motivated by a desire to solve cases using his logical reasoning rather than a strong ethical drive. Despite his experience and accolades, he has no ambitions to open his own firm, preferring to maintain his current path until unexpected challenges shake his seemingly perfect life.
Potential Female Lead and Additional Details
In addition to Lee Jong Suk, there are discussions about Moon Ga Young joining the cast as the female lead, Kang Hee Ji. If confirmed, Hee Ji will be depicted as a second-year lawyer with an honest and confident approach to her work. She believes that she can change lives, emphasizing her commitment to making a positive impact through her legal career.
Fans are particularly eager to see Lee Jong Suk reprise a legal role after his success in Big Mouth, where he garnered praise for his performance. The excitement is amplified by his collaboration with PD Park Seung Woo, known for directing acclaimed dramas like Kairos and Adamas. This partnership promises to bring a compelling narrative and dynamic storytelling to Seochodong.
Anticipation and Future Updates
As Lee Jong Suk prepares to embody Ahn Joo Hyung, the anticipation for Seochodong continues to grow among viewers. The drama’s unique take on the legal profession, combined with the talents of its cast and crew, sets the stage for an engaging viewing experience.
