Lee Jong-suk makes his first appearance as a 9-year veteran associate lawyer in the new tvN weekend drama 'Seocho-dong'.

In the premiere episode aired on the 5th, Lee Jong-suk's character, Ahn Joo-hyung, is shown heading to his office as a seasoned lawyer.

Ahn Joo-hyung is seen getting off at Gyodae Station on Subway Line 3 and heading to his office. Narrator Jo Chang-won, played by Kang Yoo-seok, describes him: "Here is a man in a black suit and white shirt, looking like he slept with his tie on. His commute on Line 3 takes 30 minutes, but he looks as if he's been doing it for three years. Despite his tiredness, he wakes up one stop before his destination like a true professional."

Jo Chang-won continues, "He seems like the kind of worn-out office worker who might shout, 'Everyone has a resignation letter in their heart.' Yet, he completes his tasks without complaint, embodying the quintessential employee. In Seocho-dong, where most can't last five years before starting their own practice or becoming in-house counsel, he's on the verge of setting a record. Though his work hours are endless, he punctually arrives at the office, marking his 9th year as a salaried associate lawyer."

Upon arriving at the office, Ahn Joo-hyung takes his vitamins, sighs, and begins his work. When a colleague congratulates him on winning all his cases, he dryly responds, "Yes." Even when given directives by his boss, he shows his professional demeanor by saying, "If I'm told to do it, I must."
