Hallyu star Lee Jong-suk is set to return to the small screen with a new drama titled “Law and The City.” After his critically acclaimed performance in “Big Mouth,” Hallyu star Lee Jong-suk is making a much-anticipated return to television. This upcoming tvN drama will delve into the lives of lawyers working in the prestigious Seocho-dong district of Seoul.
People often call Seocho-dong the “Beverly Hills of Seoul.” It houses some of the country’s top law firms and elite professionals. It is the perfect setting for a drama like this.
Lee Seung-hyun pens the drama, and Park Seung-woo directs it; their past work includes Adamas. What sets “Law and The City” apart is its unique approach to legal dramas. The story is inspired by the real-life experiences of an actual lawyer. This means viewers can expect a more authentic and grounded portrayal of the legal profession.

Lee Jong-suk’s New Role
In the drama, Lee Jong-suk will take on the role of Ahn Joo-hyeong, a seasoned lawyer with nine years of experience. A grand mission to change the world does not drive Ahn Joo-hyeong, unlike many fictional lawyers. Instead, he is a more realistic character who focuses on the day-to-day challenges and triumphs of his profession.
While Ahn Joo-hyeong navigates the moral gray areas of law, he must also confront personal dilemmas and competitive rivalries within his firm. Themes of ambition, burnout, and justice vs. survival will shape the narrative.
“Law and The City” promises to offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of Korean lawyers. Viewers can expect to see courtroom dramas, intricate legal cases, and the personal struggles of the characters. The drama will also explore the high-pressure environment of a top law firm and the sacrifices that lawyers make for their careers.
“Law and The City” is scheduled to air on tvN in the first half of 2025. Fans of Lee Jong-suk and legal dramas alike are eagerly anticipating the release of this highly anticipated series. If you’re a fan of “Suits” or “Hyena,” “Law and The City” might just be your next favorite watch, blending realism with compelling drama inside Korea’s legal elite.
