Moon Ga-young Takes the Lead in New Legal Drama 'Seocho-dong'

Moon Ga-young steps into the spotlight, following in the footsteps of Park Bo-young, who was praised for her role in 'Unknown Seoul'.

The anticipation is building for Moon Ga-young's performance in the upcoming tvN weekend drama 'Seocho-dong', set to premiere on Saturday, the 5th. Behind-the-scenes stills from the poster shoot have been released, showcasing Moon's transformation into the character 'Kang Hee-ji'. Earlier this year, tvN faced a series of low ratings with productions like 'Ask the Stars', 'Divorce Insurance', and 'Potato Research Institute'. However, Moon Ga-young's previous project, 'The Guy is a Black Dragon', managed to achieve a 4% viewership rating, marking a successful return to tvN after four months.

'Seocho-dong' follows the daily lives and growth of five associate lawyers working in the bustling legal district of Seocho-dong. Moon Ga-young plays 'Kang Hee-ji', a first-year associate lawyer known for her candid and confident personality, passion for her work, and warm perspective. Believing that changing one life can change the world, she dreams of advocating for people rather than just cases. As she encounters various cases and individuals, she is set to grow and evolve.

The released behind-the-scenes stills capture the vibrancy of Kang Hee-ji's day. From adjusting her outfit in the elevator on her first day to showcasing the excitement and nerves of a new job, to the focused routine of an associate lawyer fueled by coffee, and the cheerful lunch breaks with fellow associates, the images encapsulate the character's charm.

Moon Ga-young is set to portray a new lawyer character with a human touch and realistic rhythm, drawing attention to her acting transformation. She describes 'Seocho-dong' as a story about people, promising to showcase a warm and human side of a lawyer. Known for adding her unique flair to each role, Moon is expected to captivate viewers once again with her portrayal in 'Seocho-dong'.

'Seocho-dong' premieres on Saturday, the 5th, at 9:20 PM.
