Lee Jong-suk’s character, Ah Joo-hyung, is a 9th-year associate at Kyungmin Law Firm. In a world where people switch jobs like it’s nothing, he’s stuck it out at the same place for nine years. He’s basically the firm’s ace—loaded with legal knowledge and killer in trials.
Even though he’s clearly elite with spot-on judgment and skills, he’s not trying to climb the ladder. He’s a “stability-seeking type” who couldn’t care less about promotions or starting his own firm.
New stills from the drama show Ah Joo-hyung’s life in full detail—from his strict morning routine to his moody mutters like, “I don’t want to do it,” quickly followed by “But I have to if they tell me to, what can I do?” Seriously, who can’t relate to that?
You’ll also see moments that feel straight out of real office life—like him focused in glasses while consulting with clients or just living for lunch breaks. He somehow juggles being a brilliant professional with the everyday sighs of a typical office worker.
The production team shared, “Lee Jong-suk is a trustworthy actor who excels regardless of genre or character. He will once again deliver empathy and laughter through the realistic associate lawyer, Ahn Joo-hyung.”
With his signature charm, Lee Jong-suk’s about to show us a whole new side of office life—messy, funny, and super real—in ‘Law and the City.’
