On May 22, 2025, tvN dropped some behind-the-scenes shots from the script reading session, and first-look stills of the Law and the City cast. The series features Lee Jong-suk, Moon Ga-young, Ryu Hye-young, Kang You-seok, and Lim Seong-jae in leading parts.
The story, based around a law firm, has already caught a lot of attention from fans. They are also excited to see Lee Jong-suk back on screen after three years since Big Mouth.
Breakup rumors involving IU and Lee Jong-suk have lately appeared, especially after IU was spotted dining with BTS’ V.
Though a few viewed this as a potential outing, a close acquaintance of the pair refuted any separation.
"He's back 🙂↕️," an X user commented.

This is Lee Jong-suk's second lawyer role, after playing a prosecutor in While You Were Sleeping (2017). In that drama, he worked with Bae Suzy’s character to stop crimes after they were predicted in dreams. Meanwhile, Law and the City explores a courtroom drama.

More about Law and The City's storyline
tvN's upcoming legal series, Law and the City's plot centers on An Ju-hyeong (Lee Jong-suk), a senior associate attorney with nine years of experience at Johwa Law Firm.
While his cold, detached attitude sets him apart, his skills in the legal field are unquestionable. An’s motivation for becoming a lawyer stemmed from his interest in logic and cases, not from a desire to fight for justice or assist the vulnerable.
Despite his record-breaking salary as an associate, An is reluctant to open his own practice, finding the idea of more responsibility tiresome. However, his previously smooth career begins to face unexpected challenges.
In contrast, Kang Hui-ji (Moon Ga-young), a junior associate at the firm, is known for her bubbly and approachable nature. She holds the belief that altering a single person's life can significantly change their entire perspective.
Alongside her are Bae Mun-jeong, Cho Chang-won, and Ha Sang-gi, all of whom face various legal challenges while forming lasting bonds and friendships over shared moments outside the courtroom.
Helmed by Park Seung-woo, Law and the City is set to start broadcasting on July 5, 2025. The show will air every Saturday and Sunday, consisting of 12 episodes, with each lasting around 1 hour and 15 minutes. It will run until August 10, 2025.
