So the casting is starting to broaden from the first reports a few months ago with Lee Jong Seok has picked his next drama. It’s titled Seocho District (Seochodong) and he plays a lawyer in what is described as a legal drama with depth and growth. Seochodong is home to the largest concentration of law firms in Seoul hence the title. Joining him as female lead is Moon Ga Young with Ryu Hye Young as the second female lead. He will be reuniting with his PD of W: The Worlds hence the extra excitement, and I’m quite impressed with that PD who also directed Kairos and Adamas.
Ryu Hye Young seems to be cast in a lot of legal dramas. I really enjoyed her performance in Law School and I can’t wait to see her performance in this. Pity that she’s a second lead, though. I really think she can carry a drama.
Yet another lawyer role for LJS. He really doesn’t want to deviate from the tried and tested I suppose…
I was thinking the same. Either that, or he’s typecast.
