The complicated relationships between lawyers at Aso Law Town in Seocho-dong are foreshadowed.

tvN new weekend drama ‘Seocho-dong’ (written by Lee Seung-hyun, directed by Park Seung-woo)is a story of the joys and sorrows of growing up for five associate lawyers(lawyers employed by law firms and receiving a salary)who go to work at the Seocho-dong Law Town every day.

According to the production team, lawyers Ahn Joo-hyung(played by Lee Jong-suk), Kang Hee-ji(played by Moon Ga-young), Jo Chang-won(played by Kang Yoo-seok), Bae Moon-jung(played by Ryu Hye-young), and Ha Sang-ki(played by Im Sung-jae)go to work every day at a law firm located on each floor of the Hyungmin Building in Seocho-dong’s Law Town.They each have a fiercely competitive work life, but when it’s lunchtime, they gather at a restaurant and bash away the day’s stress by clinking spoons.Before their first day at work in Seocho-dong’s Law Town, we took a look at the relationships of the five Avengers(lawyers)who will build strong friendships by sharing every grain of rice.

First, the strange relationship between the rational lawyer An Ju-hyung and the passionate lawyer Kang Hee-ji is drawing attention.In the world of associates where people frequently change jobs and open new practices, An Ju-hyung, who has been settled in one workplace for 9 years, is a person with outstanding abilities as well as accumulated experience.That is why all the lawyers in the Hyungmin Building run to An Ju-hyung whenever something happens.

Kang Hee-ji, who has just become an associate attorney, also goes to Ahn Joo-hyung to relieve her curiosity whenever she has something to ask.Kang Hee-ji is confident and honest with herself, which disarms the hearts of those she meets, but this charm does not work on Ahn Joo-hyung, so it is questionable whether Kang Hee-ji’s endless knocking can break down Ahn Joo-hyung’s iron wall.


The chemistry between the five members of the Abyunjeos who gather at the table every lunchtime is also highly anticipated.Following the lead of the rice leader Bae Moon-jung, who is serious about finding a restaurant, they sit down at a restaurant and show off their perfect teamwork as they quickly proceed with everything from setting the cutlery to ordering the menu without saying much.

While eating, they begin to share their daily lives with each other, sharing trivial conversations about their worries and daily routines.From the hardships they experience while dealing with clients, conflicts with their bosses at work, family issues that are difficult to share with others, to relationship problems, the stories are as diverse as the food menu, and are expected to evoke empathy from viewers.

In particular, the cheerful tiki-taka of the five members of the Eobyeonjeos with various personalities such as Jo Chang-won, who boasts an endless gift of gab, Ha Sang-gi, who is the only one who accepts his every word, Bae Moon-jung, who rushes at the first bet, and the four attorneys who control him, is intriguing.Accordingly, the meeting with the five members of the Eobyeonjeos who will add liveliness to everyday life with their endless chatter like the lively sound of spoons clanking on the table is highly anticipated.

‘Seocho-dong’ will first air at 9:20 PM on July 5th.
