“Law and the City is realism over drama — and that’s its biggest charm.”
Law and the City isn’t a drama for everyone. If you’re expecting fiery courtroom battles or shocking twists, you’ll probably find it too slow. The pacing is calm, almost slice-of-life, which may feel boring to some viewers.
But that’s exactly its charm — it focuses on the real, human side of being a lawyer: the exhaustion, the friendships built over late-night meals, the ethical struggles, and the quiet romance that grows naturally.
Lee Jong-Suk makes a strong comeback with a restrained but heartfelt performance, and Moon Ga-young balances him perfectly with her warmth and idealism. Their chemistry isn’t explosive, but it feels real and mature.
👉 Honest Verdict: Law and the City is a slow but meaningful legal drama. It won’t suit everyone, but if you enjoy thoughtful, realistic stories about work, relationships, and life’s quiet battles, this is one of 2025’s hidden gems.
“A nostalgic coming-of-age story that captures the sweetness of youth, first love, and friendship. Some pacing flaws aside, it’s a warm and emotional watch for slice-of-life lovers.”
