Lee Jong Suk suits up as stoic office lawyer in new stills from Law and the City starring Moon Ga Young; find out premiere date
Lee Jong Suk is ready to return to television in a fresh and grounded role in the upcoming legal drama Law and the City. The series is set to premiere on July 5, 2025. It promises a realistic depiction of the lives of salaried lawyers who juggle professional obligations and personal challenges. It is set in South Korea's most competitive legal district. Lee Jong Suk: Not your typical K-drama lawyer In Law and the City, Lee Jong Suk takes on the role of Ahn Ju Hyeong. He plays an associate attorney working at Kyungmin Law Firm in the Seocho district. Unlike many lawyers who race to climb the professional ladder, Ahn Ju Hyeong is a figure of consistency. Having spent nearly a decade at the same law firm, he's neither chasing glory nor planning to branch out. Instead, he finds value in routine, job stability, and doing his work thoroughly, even if it means going against the grain. Stills from the drama show him walking into the office exactly on time, settling into his regular seat, and sighing at the start of another long workday. But as soon as the day begins, he's fully immersed. He's analyzing past cases, meeting clients face-to-face, and demonstrating calm professionalism during tough legal situations. In another released still, Ahn Ju Hyeong is shown enjoying a lunch break with co-workers. Despite his modest personality and aversion to the spotlight, Ahn Ju Hyeong is far from average. Known as the 'brain' of the law firm, he's valued for his razor-sharp logic and meticulous legal research. His ability to handle cases based on facts rather than theatrics has earned him a strong reputation among peers. Plot and cast Law and the City stands apart from other law-centric dramas by taking a more personal, slice-of-life approach. Rather than focusing solely on high-profile trials or dramatic legal battles, the series follows the quiet yet meaningful moments that define the lives of associate attorneys. Alongside Lee Jong Suk, the drama boasts a strong ensemble cast that helps build the world around Kyungmin Law Firm. Moon Ga Young stars as Kang Hui Ji, a junior associate attorney. Kang You Seok, Ryu Hye Young, and Im Sung Jae round out the main cast as Cho Chang Won, Bae Mun Jeong, and Ha Sang Gi. These five junior lawyers represent different walks of life and legal philosophies. Their interactions are expected to be at the heart of the series, shaping both the courtroom cases and their office bonds. Whether it's quiet competition, late-night confessions over dinner, or conflicting values, their stories aim to reflect the everyday highs and lows of young professionals. Anticipation builds ahead of premiere Law and the City has already begun generating buzz for its fresh concept and Lee Jong Suk's grounded portrayal. As the drama prepares for its July 5 premiere, viewers are looking forward to a series that doesn't rely on melodrama or legal fireworks. Instead, it draws strength from subtle performances, thoughtful writing, and the authenticity of daily life in a high-pressure profession.

In the heart of Seoul's legal district, five associate attorneys are gearing up to bring order and justice in tvN's upcoming legal drama Law and the City. Starring Lee Jong Suk as Ahn Ju Hyeong and Moon Ga Young as Kang Hui Ji, alongside Kang You Seok, Ryu Hye Young, and Im Seong Jae, the series offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of junior lawyers balancing the chaos of courtroom battles with their struggles. A newly released teaser offers a sneak peek into a seemingly simple but telling moment: the five attorneys sharing a quiet meal in a bustling restaurant. Amidst the rush of a hectic Monday, this short 35-second clip captures the camaraderie and subtle realities of their demanding jobs. This teaser was released amid Lee Jong Suk's breakup rumor with IU. Putting past dating rumors aside, now that Lee Jong Suk's relationship with IU has been confirmed, Law and the City is poised to mark a strong new chapter in his career. Known for his compelling roles in legal dramas, this series will be his first project since going public with IU. Fans can look forward to seeing him take on the role of a powerful lawyer, stepping confidently into the world of law and action with a fresh and dynamic new persona. The teaser is a warm introduction to the drama's core — five young lawyers navigating the pressures and triumphs of life at Johwa Law Firm, located in Seocho-dong, Seoul's legal hub. Through tough cases and personal trials, these characters forge strong bonds over shared meals, supporting each other through thick and thin. At the center is Ahn Ju Hyeong, a seasoned ninth-year lawyer known for his sharp logic and record-breaking salary, but who remains emotionally detached from the ideals of justice. Unlike most, he never bought into the notion that lawyers should protect the vulnerable or change the world. On the flip side, Kang Hui Ji is a lively, outgoing junior associate who thrives on human connection. Her belief is simple but powerful: changing one person's life can change their entire world. Honest and confident, she navigates the legal world with passion and heart, bringing warmth to the firm's dynamics. With IU's dating confirmation and the teaser for Law and the City released, it looks like Lee Jong Suk is gearing up for a powerful comeback.
