When two beloved actors like Lee Jong-suk and Moon Ga-young share the screen, expectations are high, and Law and the City is already delivering.
Lee Jong-suk is finally back, and fans couldn’t be more thrilled! After his last drama, Big Mouth, in 2022, viewers were eagerly waiting for his return. In Law and the City, he plays Ahn Ju-hyung, a sharp but weary lawyer whose life takes a turn when he meets a spirited rookie prosecutor. We break down what happened in the first episode and why fans are loving the two main leads!
What Went Down in Law and the City Episode 1
Episode 1 introduces Ahn Joo‑hyung (Lee Jong‑suk), a logical yet emotionally distant associate lawyer at Kyungmin Law Firm. His life takes a twist when he crosses paths with Kang Hee‑ji (Moon Ga‑young), a passionate junior attorney at Johwa Law Firm.
A court case involving a negligent accident sets the stage, and viewers quickly see their sharp contrast: Joo‑hyung relies on cold facts, while Hee‑ji fights with her heart.
The episode ends with unexpected tension and a subtle reunion, thanks to shared history.
