More burned out than brilliant and more realistic than romantic, Law and The City is a smart, witty and compelling new legal drama about the lives of Seoul’s overworked and underappreciated legal professionals – coming July 5 to Disney+.

Tucked away from the bright lights of Gangnam and the party scene of Hongdae lies Seocho, a bustling legal district that’s home to countless lawyers struggling to reconcile their past ambitions with their present reality. In Law and The City we follow ninth-year associate Ahn Juhyeong a competent lawyer who’s mastered his craft but who’s too comfortable to take the next step in his career. Jaded from fighting for clients who don’t always align with his moral principles, Juhyeong is shocked when Huiji, a bright and ambitious newly qualified lawyer joins a firm in the same building and reminds him of what he used to aspire to.

Produced by CJ ENM Studios, a subsidiary of Korea’s leading entertainment company, CJ ENM, Law and The City stars Lee Jongsuk (Big Mouth, Romance is a Bonus Book) as brilliant and burned out lawyer Ahn Juhyeong; and Mun Kayoung (Link: Eat, Love, Kill, The Interest of Love) as Kang Huiji, an ambitious new lawyer not yet ground-down by the realities of the profession. The series is written by Lee Seunghyeon, a practicing lawyer, and is directed by Park Seungwoo (Adamas, Kairos).

A twelve-part series, start streaming Law and The City from July 5 on Disney+.
