Good Partner (Korean굿파트너) is an upcoming South Korean television series written by Choi Yu-na, directed by Kim Ga-ram, and starring Jang Na-ra, Nam Ji-hyun, Kim Jun-han, Pyo Ji-hoon, Ji Seung-hyun, and Han Jae-yi [ko]. It is scheduled for release on SBS TV in 2024.

Synopsis[edit]

It is a cold and hot human court office drama between Cha Eun-kyung, a star lawyer whose divorce is her calling, and Han Yu-ri, a new lawyer whose divorce is her first time. It captures in a 'realistic' and 'direct' way the big deals and dilemmas that occur when people face an unexpected breakup that was not in their life plans and the moment their family breaks up. The story of divorce lawyers trying to choose the best option in the cruel balance game of life provides empathy and catharsis.[2]

Cast[edit]

  • Jang Na-ra as Cha Eun-kyung: a star lawyer whose 'vocation' is divorce. She is a veteran lawyer with 17-year experience that everyone recognizes, and a straightforward and feisty person.[3]
  • Nam Ji-hyun as Han Yu-ri: a newbie lawyer who is experiencing divorce for the first time. Unable to tolerate injustice, she constantly clashes with Eun-kyung, who believes that the company's interests come first and that a true lawyer must fulfill the role of a representative even if the client has done something wrong.[3]
  • Kim Jun-han as Jung Woo-jin: a lawyer who is Eun-kyung's junior and the leader of divorce team 2 at Daejeong Law Firm. He has a gentle charisma that alternates between affection and coldness. He's the one Eun-kyung trusts.[3]
  • Pyo Ji-hoon as Jeon Eun-ho: an optimistic lawyer who believes in 'working love balance'. He became Yu-ri's dedicated marker after receiving orders to prevent the frequent departure of new members from the divorce team.[3]
  • Ji Seung-hyun as Kim Ji-sang: Eun-kyung's family-oriented husband and a man on the edge. He is also a medical consultant at Daejeong Law Firm and willingly throws himself into 'Cha Eun-kyung Care' for the sake of his bulldozer wife's dreams and a happy family, but their tired and crumbling relationship begins to falter when a crisis hits.[4]
  • Han Jae-yi [ko] as Choi Sa-ra: Eun-kyung's secretary of ten years. She rose through the ranks from secretary to legal writing assistant, a position that even the cold-hearted Eun-kyung recognized.[4]
