On the 13th, Lee Jong Suk‘s agency stated, “He has received an offer for the new drama Seocho-dong and is reviewing it.”
That same day, a media outlet reported that Lee Jong Suk would be playing the role of Ahn Joo Hyung, a 9-year-experienced lawyer at Kyungmin Law Firm, in Seocho-dong. Ahn Joo Hyung is described as a character with good looks and excellent credentials, but with a blunt personality.
What’s drawing attention is that Seocho-dong is set to be directed by Park Seung Woo, who previously worked with Lee Jong Suk in the 2016 drama W, which earned the actor his first acting award. As such, anticipation is growing for their potential reunion.
Seocho-dong is scheduled to begin filming at the end of this year, with a broadcast set for next year.
