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%.
