Rounding up the main leads are Kim Jun Han and Pyo Ji Hoon (P.O)!
굿파트너 Good Partner (LT), scheduled to air in 2024, is a cold and hot human legal office drama about a star lawyer whose ‘vocation’ is divorce, and a new lawyer who is experiencing divorce for the first time.
It captures the straightforward and pragmatic processes of the big deals and dilemmas that occur at the moment of breaking up a family, as well as people who face an unexpected breakup that was not in their life plans.
The story of divorce lawyers trying to choose the best option in the cruel balance game of life provides empathy.
Above all, since it was written by divorce lawyer Choi Yu-na, who is well-known to the public through divorce sympathy Instagram comics such as ‘Marriage Red, expectations are high for a ‘true’ human court office drama with 200% empathy.
Here, director Kim Garam of Nevertheless. Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency, and Vampire Detective spearheads the production.
Here’s a quick look at Good Partner’s characters
Jang Nara (The Last Empress, Confession Couple) heralds another memorable character as Cha Eun-kyung, a star lawyer who treats divorce as her “vocation.” A 17-year veteran lawyer, she is a ‘wannabe’ that everyone recognizes, but she is direct and harsh. She is also on the verge of divorce despite her title as the nation’s divorce lawyer. At a turbulent crossroads in her life, she faces a major change when she encounters and forms alliances with Han Yu-ri, a new lawyer who is her complete opposite.
Jang Nara said, “The script was very interesting. I am happy to work with a good director, writer, and Nam Ji-hyun, whom I wanted to act with.”
Nam Ji Hyun (Little Women, Shopaholic Louis) transforms into Han Yu-ri, a new lawyer who is experiencing divorce for the first time, and develops a connection with Jang Nara. Unable to tolerate injustice, he constantly clashes with Eun-kyung, who believes that a true lawyer must put the company’s interests first and faithfully act as an agent for customers who have committed any wrongdoing.
“It is a work that makes us think about human life in various directions. “I will work hard, so please give us a lot of support,” said Nam Ji Hyun
Kim Jun Han (Anna, Hospital Playlist) plays the role of Jung Woo-jin, a lawyer who is Cha Eun-kyung’s junior and the head of the divorce team 2 at the law firm ‘Daejeong’. He puts on the brakes whenever Eun-kyung goes crazy and doesn’t shy away from saying harsh words, and he has a soft charisma that goes back and forth between kindness and coldness.
Woo-jin, whom Eun-kyung trusts, is someone who has always supported her while maintaining an appropriate distance. With her divorce crisis, changes come to him as well.
Kim Jun Han relayed, “Each of the stories is a living reality itself, and at the same time, it is very dramatic. Please give him a lot of anticipation and love.”
Pyo Ji Hoon (Mouse, More Than Friends) portrays Jun Eun-ho, an optimistic lawyer who preaches a working-love balance. Eun-ho became Yu-ri’s dedicated marker after receiving orders to prevent the frequent departure of new members from the divorce team.
As he gets caught up in events and realizes his depth about making a living, he narrows the distance between himself and Yu-ri.
Pyo Ji Hoon relayed, “This is my first time taking on the role of a lawyer who is completely different from what I have shown so far. Please wait with great anticipation and support.”
SBS’ new drama Good Partner is scheduled to air in 2024.
