Introducing ‘Seocho-dong’

The legal drama, ‘Seocho-dong’, directed by Park Seung-woo and scripted by former lawyer Lee Seung-hyun, is set to captivate audiences with its realistic portrayal of life within a law firm. The show will premiere on July 5th at 9:20 PM on tvN. This series promises a fresh and real insight into the lives of five associate lawyers navigating their careers in the bustling legal district of Seocho-dong.

Inspired by Real Experiences

Writer Lee Seung-hyun draws on his own experiences as a lawyer to create a narrative filled with authenticity and depth. He shares, “The stories stemmed naturally from the emotions and events I encountered during my legal career.”

Director Park Seung-woo adds, “After directing genre series, I wanted to explore more everyday stories. Meeting the writer, with his worn suit and tired expression, convinced me that we could bring the genuine life of a lawyer to the screen.”

Focus on Everyday Challenges

Unlike traditional legal dramas focused on grandiose courtroom battles, ‘Seocho-dong’ highlights the everyday struggles and interpersonal conflicts lawyers face as office workers. Park notes, “We wanted to depict the daily realities more than the idealistic mission of a lawyer.”

Ordinary Characters, Extraordinary Performances

Lee wishes for viewers to see the characters as their next-door neighbors rather than extraordinary heroes. He humorously notes how his lawyer friends jest about how no one in Seocho looks as good as the actors in the show.

The Importance of Performance

A significant draw of the series is the ensemble cast’s commitment to their roles. Both Lee and Park emphasize the actors’ ability to fully embody their characters, enhancing the authentic storytelling they aim for.
