Exciting news for fans of the hit series "Good Partner"! Actress Nam Ji Hyun could potentially reprise her beloved role in the show's second season.

On June 24, sources from the broadcasting industry initially reported that Nam Ji Hyun would not be returning due to scheduling conflicts and other commitments. However, just a day later, her agency, Management SOOP, revealed that discussions about her participation are still very much alive!

A Critically Acclaimed Drama

Written by a genuine divorce attorney, "Good Partner" showcases the dynamic between two contrasting divorce lawyers: the established star Cha Eun Kyung (played by Jang Nara) and the rookie Han Yu Ri (Nam Ji Hyun), who is still finding her footing in this demanding field.

The show debuted in July last year and quickly gained popularity, starting with a 7.8% nationwide rating and peaking at an impressive 17.7%. Fans were particularly drawn to the strong bond between the two main characters and the show's authentic portrayal of divorce cases, setting it apart from typical legal dramas.

Award-Winning Performances

Nam Ji Hyun delivered a stellar performance as the ambitious Han Yu Ri, earning her the Top Excellence Award at the 2024 SBS Drama Awards. Meanwhile, Jang Nara celebrated her long-awaited victory by winning the Grand Prize, marking a significant milestone in her 23-year career.

What’s Next for Nam Ji Hyun?

While awaiting news on "Good Partner" Season 2, Nam Ji Hyun is set to shine in the upcoming KBS drama "My Beloved Thief," alongside Moon Sang Min. This exciting series follows a woman unexpectedly turned bandit and a royal prince of Joseon who mysteriously swaps souls with her.

With filming already underway, fans can expect to see this intriguing drama air next year. Until then, binge-watch the thrilling first season of "Good Partner" on Viki!
