Lee Jong Suk In Talks To Star In New Drama By "W" Director

Drama

Sep 13, 2024

by M Lim

Lee Jong Suk may be reuniting with the director of “W” after eight years!

On September 13, MyDaily reported that Lee Jong Suk will star in “Seochodong” (literal title), a new drama directed by Park Seung Woo.

In response to the report, Lee Jong Suk’s agency Ace Factory shared, “Lee Jong Suk has received an offer to star in the new drama ‘Seochodong’ and is currently reviewing it.”

Lee Jong Suk has reportedly been offered the role of Ahn Joo Hyung, a veteran lawyer with nine years of experience. While Ahn Joo Hyung has striking looks and an impressive background, he has a blunt personality.

“Seochodong” will be helmed by Park Seung Woo, who previously collaborated with Lee Jong Suk in the hit 2016 MBC drama “W.” Notably, Lee Jong Suk’s portrayal of Kang Cheol in the drama earned him multiple awards, including Best Couple Award, Best Actor in a Miniseries, and his first Daesang (Grand Prize) at the MBC Drama Awards.

Filming for “Seochodong” is set to begin at the end of this year, with the drama slated for release in 2025.

Lee Jong Suk and the W director will possibly work together again after eight years.

On September 13, media outlet MyDaily released an exclusive report stating that Lee Jong Suk is returning to the K-drama scene with director Park Seung Woo. The two will work together to bring in the new K-drama titled Seocho-dong (literal title).

This will possibly be Lee Jong Suk's grand comeback to the K-drama world. The actor was last seen in the 2022 series Big Mouth alongside Girls Generation's Im Yoon Ah, Kim Joo Heon, Kwak Dong Yeon, Yang Kyung Won, and Ok Ja Yeon. 

 

Aside from this K-drama as the possible comeback of Lee Jong Suk, this will also be his first K-drama work under his new agency Ace Factory.

In 2024, Lee Jong Suk made a special cameo appearance in the film The Plot which was led by Kang Dong Won, Lee Moo Saeng, Lee Mi Sook, Lee Hyun Wook, Tang Jun Sang, and Kim Hong Pa. 

Lee Jong Suk is best known for leading the K-dramas Romance Is a Bonus Book, While You Were Sleeping, Pinocchio, I Hear Your Voice, School 2013, and more.

Seocho-dong will tell the story of a lawyer with nine years of experience. He is known for his good looks and skills but he is also a straightforward person. 

The upcoming K-drama will be helmed by director Park Seung Woo who is also known for creating the works Adamas, Kairos, Spring Turns to Spring, and more. 

Attention is focused on the reunion of Lee Jong Suk and director Park Seung Woo, and whether the actor will sweep multiple awards with this new K-drama, similar to his achievement in 2016 when they first collaborated.

According to reports, Seocho-dong will begin its filming at the end of 2024. There are no official confirmation yet on the premiere date as well as the broadcast channel for the upcoming K-drama.

Lee Jong Suk Confirmed To Star In New Drama By "W" Director

by S Nam

It’s official—Lee Jong Suk is gearing up for a new drama!

On November 5, Lee Jong Suk’s agency ACE FACTORY confirmed that the actor will be starring in tvN’s new drama “Seochodong” (literal title).

“Seochodong” is a passionate story about associate lawyers who go to work in the Seocho Judicial Town. Written by currently practicing lawyer Lee Seung Hyun, the drama will capture realistic stories as well as the growth of lawyers as they handle cases that could happen in everyday life.

Lee Jong Suk will take on the role of lawyer Ahn Joo Hyung, who has been practicing for nine years and is known for his fact-driven logic. Ahn Joo Hyung became a lawyer because he enjoys logic and cases, so he did not initially consider being a lawyer as a profession that protects the weak and serves justice to change the world. Having stayed at the same firm for nine years, he is also a veteran in the field. Despite reaching new records for associate lawyer pay, he has no desire to set up his own law firm. However, cracks begin to surface in Ahn Joo Hyung’s comfortable and stable work life.

Earlier this month, it was announced that Moon Ga Young is also in talks to star in the drama as the role of second-year lawyer Kang Hee Ji, a confident and honest character who believes that changing someone’s life will change that person’s entire world.

Through the upcoming project, Lee Jong Suk will reunite with “W” director Park Seung Woo, who has impressed with his unique creativity and portrayal through dramas such as “Kairos” and “Adamas.”

Having won the Daesang at the 2022 MBC Drama Awards for his lawyer role in his previous drama “Big Mouth,” Lee Jong Suk is already raising anticipation for his new transformation.

“Seochodong” is slated to air in the first half of 2025 via tvN.
