The series <Seocho-dong>, released on Disney+ on July 5, depicts the cheerful and passionate growth of five associate lawyers who commute to the Seocho-dong legal town every day. The special poster released alongside captures the moment when Juhyung (Lee Jong-suk) and Heeji (Moon Ga-young) lock eyes during a late-night work session, evoking a subtle tension and excitement. The tagline, "We met again in Seocho-dong, and she was still beautiful," suggests that a past connection that had already crossed paths is rekindled in Seocho-dong, stimulating curiosity about the hidden stories and emotional undercurrents between the two characters.
There are two main viewing points. The first key point is the unique team chemistry of the five associate lawyers, known as the 'Law Avengers', each with their distinct personalities and charms. Professional Juhyung (Lee Jong-suk), ambitious Heeji (Moon Ga-young), chatterbox Changwon (Kang Yoo-seok), warm-hearted Munjeong (Ryu Hye-young), and the embodiment of capitalism Sangki (Lim Sung-jae) gather to share meals and concerns, hinting at a true camaraderie and friendship that goes beyond mere workplace colleagues. In particular, Lee Jong-suk's sharp charisma, Moon Ga-young's confident charm, Kang Yoo-seok's playful wit, Ryu Hye-young's warm gaze, and Lim Sung-jae's relatable acting combine to portray the five characters' charms in a multi-dimensional way.
The second key point is the realistic daily lives and 'genuine' concerns of the young associate lawyers. Their day-to-day experiences set against the backdrop of Seocho-dong legal town are expected to evoke both joy and poignant empathy, leaving a lasting impression on viewers. At the production presentation held on the 1st, director Park Seung-woo stated, "We focused on the realistic concerns faced by lawyers as young professionals or office workers. It captures the life of modern individuals who must adapt even when they are not satisfied," raising expectations for deep empathy. <Seocho-dong> will be available on Disney+ every Saturday and Sunday starting July 5.
