Translation


Lee Jong-suk, Moon Ga-young, Kang Yoo-seok, Ryu Hye-young, and Im Sung-jae begin their intense work life.

The production team of tvN new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Seocho-dong’ (written by Lee Seung-hyun, directed by Park Seung-woo)released a comprehensive preview video on the 24th.The preview video contains the daily lives of five associate lawyers(lawyers employed by law firms and receiving a salary)who go to work at the Seocho-dong Law Town every day.

The comprehensive trailer video, which begins with the soulless gaze of Ahn Joo-hyung(played by Lee Jong-suk)on his way to work in a subway packed with people, continues with the life of salaried lawyers Ahn Joo-hyung, 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-gi(played by Im Sung-jae)in Seocho-dong.The hardships of office life are evident on the faces of the lawyers who feel frustrated with cases that won’t go away and stay up all night reading mountains of documents.

As employees of a company, they are just doing their job, but depending on the outcome of the lawsuit, the client’s reaction to the lawyers is also different.The image of the Asso lawyers, who give up their work and devote themselves to their work until the end of the day, but are completely discouraged by a single harsh word, evokes empathy from office workers.


The five Avengers(lawyers)who are overwhelmed by work and get hit by people every day, and whose 24 hours in a day are not enough, share their funny and sad(laughter + sadness)daily lives, which even evokes a sense of kinship.The five people’s different ways of relieving stress are also revealed, drawing attention.The Asso lawyers who run around the track, eat delicious food, and chat are smiling and making us feel happy.

The lovely synergy of these friends who can let go of their burdens when they are together even in the midst of a fierce life is highly anticipated.These people, who relieved their daily stress with exercise, food, and chatting, will slowly find the answer to the question, “Why did you want to become a lawyer?” and begin the second act of their boring office life.

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