Attorneys Lee Jong-suk, Moon Ga-young, Kang Yoo-seok, Ryu Hye-young, and Im Sung-jae fill up the new tvN weekend drama ‘Seocho-dong’ (written by Lee Seung-hyun, directed by Park Seung-woo)with their various personalities.

The character teaser video for ‘Seocho-dong’, which will be first aired on July 5th, raises expectations for the cheerful tiki-taka of salaryman lawyers who are full of everything from their abilities to their appetites.

The teaser video released by the production team sequentially captures the characteristics of the five associate lawyers(lawyers employed by law firms and receiving a salary)who go to work at the Hyungmin Building in the Seocho-dong Law Town.Among the associate lawyers who frequently change jobs and open their own practices, Ahn Joo-hyung(played by Lee Jong-suk), who has maintained the life of a salaried lawyer for 9 years, reacts indifferently, saying, “I feel the most comfortable just doing what I’m told,” as if he has completely adapted to his current situation.

On the other hand, Kang Hee-ji(played by Moon Ga-young), who has just become an associate attorney and is now at work in Seocho-dong, shows off her social skills by talking to associate attorneys including Ahn Joo-hyung and people passing by without hesitation.Jo Chang-won(played by Kang Yoo-seok), the energizer who is the only one who is cheerful even when everyone else is exhausted on their way to work, shows off his incredible ability to talk despite the many persecutions from his dinner friends.


Bae Moon-jung(Ryu Hye-young), a professional latecomer who runs around with her eyebrows fluttering every morning, relieves stress from corporate life and losing lawsuits by eating with the Avengers(Avengers + lawyers)and shows off her power of eating(food + leadership).Ha Sang-gi(Im Sung-jae), a lawyer who treats work-related fatigue with bonuses, shows off his social skills by smiling his trademark capitalist smile in front of his clients.

The five members of ‘Abyeonjus’ boast a hexagonal spec that is full of abilities, friendliness, energy, appetite, and social life, and they gather together whenever it’s mealtime to share food and affection.As An Ju-hyung says, “Are we coworkers?” , the relationship between these people, who seem a little closer than coworkers, is intriguing.

In this way, ‘Seocho-dong’ is foreshadowing the cheerful Seocho-dong life of ‘Abyeonjeos’ who are busy bickering when they meet, but are sincere when it comes to taking care of each other’s meals.As the phrase ‘Forget the lawyers you’ve known so far! ‘suggests, attention is focused on what will happen in the daily lives of salaried lawyers who are faithfully living their own lives, rather than heroes who are dedicated to a sense of mission and the realization of justice.

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