Well, that’s exactly what happened at the script reading for tvN’s new legal drama “Law and The City” (Seochodong), and honestly, we’re still not over it. The moment Lee Jong Suk, Moon Ga Young, Kang You Seok, and the rest of the cast walked into the room, the air was buzzing like the final scene of a season finale.
Let’s just say this isn’t your average paper-and-lines type of read. It was intense, hilarious, and emotional, and it had all the K-drama flavors we live for.
Lee Jong Suk New Drama = Serious Eye Candy + Smart Lawyer Vibes
Can we talk about Lee Jong Suk’s new drama for a sec? He plays Ahn Ju Hyeong, a senior associate attorney who’s basically the walking definition of calm, cool, and collected. At the reading, he didn’t just say his lines, he owned them.
You know that moment in a courtroom drama when everyone pauses because the lawyer just dropped the truth bomb of the century? That was Lee Jong Suk… reading from a script. I mean, who else could make paperwork look this good?
Moon Ga Young’s New Drama Has Main Character Energy
Moon Ga Young’s new drama role? ICONIC. She plays Kang Hui Ji, a fiery first-year associate with ambition and sass. And let me tell you, from the very first line, she was giving “I’m here to slay” energy.
She stared down her co-stars like they were opposing counsel, and her delivery? Chef’s kiss. If you’ve ever had to act confident while internally panicking (like, say, your first day at work?), you’ll totally relate to her character. But Moon makes it look powerful.
A Peek Inside Their High-Powered Lawyer Life
Newly released stills offer a sneak peek into the daily grind of Ahn Ju Hyeong and Kang Hui Ji in Seocho’s buzzing legal district. Their offices are lit up 24/7, yep, these lawyers don’t sleep, they strategize.
From high-stakes clients to chaotic courtroom drama, their world is anything but boring. Each case comes with its own set of twists and emotional curveballs. The legal jungle they navigate promises a perfect blend of intensity, unpredictability, and human drama, exactly what we crave in a solid K-drama binge.
Kang You Seok Is That Friend Who Won’t Stop Talking, In the Best Way
Enter Kang You Seok as Cho Chang Won, the team’s chatterbox who can’t keep quiet at meal gatherings. Every legal team has one, right? That one friend who talks too much but somehow makes the tension disappear?
He brought the comic relief we didn’t know we needed. Honestly, if the courtroom scenes get too stressful, I’m counting on Kang to lighten the mood with a one-liner or a perfectly awkward snack break.
Ryu Hye Young and Im Sung Jae: The Real Ones Holding It Together
Ryu Hye Young gives “unofficial team leader” vibes as Bae Mun Jeong, the voice of reason and the keeper of calm during chaos (aka, your friend who always brings snacks and sanity).
And then there’s Im Sung Jae as Ha Sang Gi. The man gets it. Shifting from serious to sweet, his performance felt real, like the guy who’s super chill at work but turns into a meme machine the second he’s off the clock.
Mark Your Calendar, This One’s Gonna Be Big
“Law and The City” premieres in July 2025, and I’m telling you now: cancel your weekend plans, grab your snacks, and get ready to fall hard for another amazing Korean legal drama.
