First-year lawyer Moon Ga-young experiences new growing pains.
In the 11th episode of tvN's weekend drama 'Seocho-dong' (written by Lee Seung-hyun, directed by Park Seung-woo), Kang Hee-ji (played by Moon Ga-young) confronts the most brutal murder case in her career as a junior lawyer and begins to ponder what true defense for her client means.
Since entering Seocho-dong, Kang Hee-ji has been steadily building her career by taking on various cases, from medical lawsuits to theft, wrongful termination, and property inheritance waiver cases. With a warm heart wanting to soothe her client's wounds and a tenacity to delve into the case until she finds a clue, she has established herself as a respectable junior lawyer in Seocho-dong.
Kang Hee-ji faces a significant turning point as she takes on her first murder case. For Kang Hee-ji, who has been a junior lawyer for a year, the murder case is a daunting and overwhelming lawsuit, but she is determined to not miss a single clue, from meeting the suspect to the investigation.
However, Jeong Soon-ja (played by Sung Byung-sook), who is imprisoned on charges of murdering her family, maintains an attitude of not needing a lawyer, which leaves Kang Hee-ji perplexed. What could be the reason for the elderly suspect committing such a horrific crime? The mystery surrounding this case is becoming increasingly intriguing.
Kang Hee-ji passionately searches for ways to help her client, who has closed off her heart, as a lawyer. Attention is focused on whether Kang Hee-ji can successfully resolve this case and become a lawyer who can also soothe her client's heart.
