The electric first meeting between Jang Na-ra and Kim Hye-yoon in ‘Good Partner 2’ has been revealed.

SBS, the broadcaster of its new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Good Partner 2’, which premieres at 9:50 p.m. on the 20th (directed by Seo Min-jung, written by Choi Yoo-na, produced by Studio S, Studio & New, and Artist Company), released stills from the show on the 12th that foreshadow the evolving relationship between Cha Eun-kyung (played by Jang Na-ra) and Kang Hye-sung (played by Kim Hye-yoon).

‘Good Partner 2’ is a drama depicting the story of top divorce lawyer Cha Eun-kyung, for whom divorce is second nature, and experienced lawyer Kang Hye-sung, who is deeply committed to handling divorces, as they become each other’s “good partners.” The series offers thrilling catharsis and empathy through the stories of lawyers who choose the best among imperfect options at life’s crossroads where there are no right answers, even after divorce. The drama builds anticipation with writer Choi Yoo-na, a specialist in divorce law, returning to pen the script, and director Seo Min-jung, known for her sensitive and refined direction, taking the helm. Additionally, the cast features trusted actors including Jang Na-ra, Kim Hye-yoon, Pyo Ji-hoon, and Park Hae-jin.

Amid this, stills capturing the shift in the relationship between Cha Eun-kyung and Kang Hye-sung have been released, sparking curiosity. Their first encounter is anything but ordinary. As lawyers from ‘Law Firm Ribom’ and ‘Law Firm Chunjeong’, respectively, they find themselves on opposing sides of a divorce lawsuit. Standing on different sides, the two engage in fierce exchanges without yielding an inch. Cha Eun-kyung, a veteran lawyer who “still knows divorce best,” faces off against Kang Hye-sung, a passionate lawyer who does not easily back down for her clients. The sharp gazes they exchange alone set expectations for a fiery showdown between the two lawyers from their very first meeting.

On the other hand, the changed atmosphere between the two is intriguing enough to render their previous tension moot. Gone are the sharply confrontational scenes from the courtroom; instead, bright smiles spread across their faces as they face each other. A deep trust that has quietly taken root can be felt in Cha Eun-kyung’s warm gaze toward Kang Hye-sung and in Kang Hye-sung’s smile in response. Anticipation is high for how two lawyers with different thoughts and approaches will come to understand one another, find common ground, and grow through conflict in a professional womanhood narrative.

Jang Na-ra cited “experience and passion” as the keywords that define the chemistry between Cha Eun-kyung and Kang Hye-sung. She added, “Watching Kang Hye-sung, I often thought she resembled Cha Eun-kyung from the past. There were similarities despite their differences, which made it fun to act,” fueling expectations for the special dynamic between the two characters.

Kim Hye-yoon also highlighted ‘Good Partner’ as a key theme to watch in this season, saying, “I hope viewers will pay attention to how we fill each other’s gaps and grow together, becoming good partners to one another.” The series premieres at 9:50 p.m. on the 20th.
