The work moments of the five associate attorneys, Lee Jong-seok, Moon Ga-young, Kang Yu-seok, Ryu Hye-young, and Lim Sung-jae, have been captured.
The new tvN weekend drama 'Seocho-dong,' which will premiere on July 5 (Saturday), written by Lee Seung-hyun and directed by Park Seung-woo, is produced by CJ ENM Studios and Chorokbaem Media. It depicts the growth journey filled with joys and sorrows of five associate attorneys (lawyers employed by a law firm and paid a salary) commuting daily to the Seocho-dong legal town.
In the Seocho-dong legal town, each floor of the Hyungmin Building is occupied by various entities, from law firms to legal offices, where diverse associate attorneys are working. Among them, the activities of the five associate attorneys, called 'Avengers (a combination of attorney and Avengers),' who are greatly trusted by law firm representatives, are especially anticipated. Before their entrance to Seocho-dong, we took the opportunity to analyze the unique types of these charismatic associate attorneys.
First, the nine-year associate attorney, Ahn Joo-hyung (played by Lee Jong-seok), affiliated with the Kyungmin Law Firm, is a rational type who handles the client's defense using logic and facts while excluding emotions. His thoroughness and abilities, including reviewing case precedents released the day before, as well as his exceptional debating skills honed from a young age, lead to expectations for Ahn Joo-hyung's flawless arguments, sharp enough to exploit the weaknesses of both the client and the opposing side.
Kang Hee-ji (played by Moon Ga-young), a first-year associate attorney at the Johwa Law Firm, is quite the opposite of Ahn Joo-hyung. She desires to empathize not only with the client's case but also with their feelings. She maintains contact with clients with whom she has formed a bond through their cases and discovers clues through in-depth conversations. The growth of Kang Hee-ji, who will passionately advocate for her clients with warmth and enthusiasm, is highly anticipated.
Jo Chang-won (played by Kang Yu-seok), an associate attorney at the Chung-gong Law Firm, spends a tumultuous life meeting diverse clients under a self-serving main attorney focused only on financial gain. He becomes a reluctant sounding board for clients imprisoned and, at times, a strong ally to fraud victims. The variety of Jo Chang-won's life in Seocho-dong, fluctuating between extremes multiple times a day, is also noteworthy.
The associate attorney, Bae Moon-jung (played by Ryu Hye-young), affiliated with Kyungmin Law Firm, is characterized by her warm personality but is meticulous in her work. Although she seems to spend her days playing and relaxing, her ability to gather necessary evidence and meticulously check even the smallest details showcases her competence. There is growing interest in the hidden strengths behind Bae Moon-jung's adorable smile.
Finally, Ha Sang-ki (played by Lim Sung-jae), the only member of the Avengers affiliated with a legal office, is a capitalist type who beams with joy at any incentive despite a heavy workload. He enjoys discussions with the lead attorney, Kim Ryu-jin (played by Kim Ji-hyun), about case cases every evening. The knowledge he hones during these exchanges is expected to be beneficial for defending his clients.
In this way, the diverse types of associate attorneys, from rational to capitalist types, attending court are also revealed, arousing curiosity. The active performances of the five associate attorneys, who represent their clients in their unique manners and exhibit the charm of professional workplace members, is much anticipated.
The tvN new weekend drama 'Seocho-dong,' showcasing the vibrant lives of the five charismatic associate attorneys, will have its first broadcast on July 5 (Saturday) at 9:20 p.m.
