Lee Jong-suk faces the most undesirable case in his attorney life.
In the tvN weekend drama ‘Seocho-dong’ (written by Lee Seung-hyun, directed by Park Seung-woo), Ahn Joo-hyung (played by Lee Jong-suk) is assigned a case that makes him consider a lawsuit exchange.
Ahn Joo-hyung is a veteran lawyer who, thanks to his ability to view cases rationally and make logical judgments, finds clues even in difficult situations. Not only does he perfectly handle the assigned tasks, but he also possesses a work mindset that does not fluctuate with the trial results, making him a rare case in the Seocho-dong legal town, where job changes and starting new practices are frequent, as he has been working at the same firm for nine years.
In the released photos, Ahn Joo-hyung, who is usually calm, is seen agitated. The client (played by Nam Yoon-ho) who entrusted him with the lawsuit maintains a disrespectful attitude, which goes against Ahn Joo-hyung's feelings. A subtle tension flows between Ahn Joo-hyung, who has a stern expression, and the client, who shows an insincere and rude attitude from their first meeting.
In fact, Ahn Joo-hyung is in a situation where he even visits his colleague lawyer Bae Moon-jung (played by Ryu Hye-young) to suggest changing the case, indicating his desire to withdraw from this matter. The reason why Ahn Joo-hyung, armed with a work mindset that says he will do what he is told even if he doesn't want to, is hesitating to defend is raising curiosity about this case.
The request from Nam Yoon-ho that has put the great Lee Jong-suk in a dilemma can be seen in ‘Seocho-dong’, airing on the 12th at 9:20 PM.
