After the drama "The Story of the Boarding Doctor" ended on May 18 with a viewership rating of 8.2%, on July 5, Kang You Seok will return to the small screen.
If in The Story of a Resident Doctor, the actor plays Jae Il - a former idol who decided to study medicine, and is currently the first year-old resident doctor of the obstetrics and gynecology department at Yulje Medical Center, then in the film Law and The City, he plays Cho Chang Won - a passionate and talkative lawyer.
The story revolves around 5 lawyers - Ahn Ju Hyeong (Lee Jong Suk), Kang Hui Ji (Moon Ga Young), Cho Chang Won, Bae Mun Jeong (Ryu Hye Young) and Ha Sang Gi (Im Seong Jae) as they together overcome challenges in work and daily life.
Talking about the work, Kang You Seok shared: This is a warm and everyday film. The script was very attractive, and after talking to the director, I thought, I really want to work with this person and I want to act with other actors.
Regarding the character he transformed, the male star rated Cho Chang Won as the most talked about person among the 5 lawyers, and made the atmosphere more cheerful. Among the five, Cho Chang Won is the brightest and sweetest person, so if you compare it to food, he is like a dessert.
According to Kang You Seok, to transform into a character, he tries to raise his tone and speak faster to express the character as " speaking too much". In addition, because Cho Chang Won is older than himself in real life, he focuses on style to look more mature.
In addition to the expected "chemistry" between the 5 lawyers, the actor hopes that "Law and The City" will be a film that the audience is curious about, "wishing to see what the 5 people will eat and share the stories".
Kang You Seok was born in 1994, and studied at the Korea National University of Arts. He has acted in the films "Start-up" and "Diep vu ngan anh", however, it was not until 2025 that his name became more widely known thanks to the success of the films "When Life Is for You" and "The Story of the Boarding Doctor".
