Lee Jong-Suk returned to the world of K-dramas after his military service with another legal drama, Law and the City. After Big Mouth, Jong-Suk is seen playing an associate lawyer in the new K-drama. He portrays An Ju-Hyeong, who is competent at work but cold-hearted and doesn’t believe in helping people in need. Only two episodes have premiered so far, and the show is already garnering a lot of buzz.
The series also features Mun Ka-Young, Kang You-Seok, Ryu Hye-Young, and others in important roles. The True Beauty actress can be seen playing Kang Hui-Ji, a junior associate who is a social butterfly and believes that people have the power to change a person’s life for the better. Even though she is flawed as a lawyer, she always stands honest and confident. The plot has gotten the viewers hooked, and it has even seen a rise in the ratings within the second episode.

What Is Law And The City About?
For those who don’t know, the plot revolves around An Ju-Hyeong (Lee Jong-Suk), an associate lawyer who has been with a law firm for nine years but never thought of opening his own firm. He likes to live a comfortable life and never understood the idea of protecting the wronged and helpless people and making a difference in the world.
So, when an incident shakes up his thought process, what will An Ju-Hyeong do? What will happen when he meets Kang Hui-Ji (Mun Ka-Young), a person who thinks about others the most? Will love bloom between them? The viewers are super excited to see Jong-Suk and Ka-Young’s chemistry, and the actor is gaining a lot of appreciation for making a comeback on the screen.
Law and the City is available for streaming on Disney+ or JioHotstar.
