A quiet debut has become a wildfire sensation, as Lee Jong-suk and Moon Ga-young’s Law And The City may have started slowly, but by its 7th episode on July 26, its ratings had surged to an impressive 5.693%, securing the top position in its time slot nationwide. It’s also commanding strong viewership among key demographics and on streaming platforms.
The legal-romance series revolves around five young associate lawyers working in Seoul’s bustling Seocho Judicial District. At its emotional core are Ahn Ju-Hyeong (Lee Jong-suk), a logical, emotionally distant senior lawyer, and Kang Hee-Ji (Moon Ga-young), a compassionate prosecutor whose idealism clashes with his pragmatism.
Episode 7 of Law and The City delivered a defining moment for the couple, as Kang Hee-Ji initiated a blush-worthy cheek kiss after the two cleared up past misunderstandings. Later, the pair delighted fans with a walk and a tender lip kiss on screen, signaling their official romantic turn on the show.
This chemistry-heavy episode sparked a flood of reactions across social networks, with viewers praising the visual harmony between Lee Jong-suk and Moon Ga-young. Many commenters joked about their perfect pairing via reviews such as, “We need them to date, get married, and start their own law firm!”, “That scene felt like a setup by romance gods”, and “I almost fainted omg”.
Their natural chemistry has been a hot topic even before episode 7, with early buzz citing their pairing as one of the hottest new on-screen couples in K-drama.
Meanwhile, the series will continue to air new episodes every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM KST on tvN, with global streams available.
