Disney+ K-drama Law and the City: Lee Jong-suk, Moon Ga-young in slice-of-life legal drama
Lead cast: Lee Jong-suk, Moon Ga-young
Latest Nielsen rating: 5.12 per cent
Not seen in a leading role since
Big Mouth in 2022,
Lee Jong-suk once again plays a lawyer in Law and the City, this time opposite Moon Ga-young (
True Beauty ).
Unlike the larger-than-life excess of his previous show, Lee's latest is a slice-of-life legal drama about young lawyers balancing a demanding profession with, hopefully, a rewarding personal one.

The show's English title, which references the classic HBO series Sex and the City, hints at this more laid-back narrative style, while the Korean title is simply 'Seocho-dong' – the name of a district within Gangnam that, as the show's opening narration helpfully explains, has 'more law firms than restaurants'.
