Kim Hye-yoon to play experienced lawyer in Good Partner 2

SBS will premiere Good Partner 2 on November 20, featuring Kim Hye-yoon as Kang Hye-seong, an ambitious lawyer who will become partners with divorce specialist Cha Eun-gyeong.

The new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Good Partner 2' is set to premiere on November 20 at 9:50 PM.

On the 28th, production representatives for 'Good Partner 2'—directed by Seo Min-jeong, written by Choi Yu-na, and produced by Studio S, Studio&NEW, and Artist Company—released character stills of Kang Hye-seong (played by Kim Hye-yoon), an experienced lawyer armed with passion and grit for winning cases. Expectations are high for Kim Hye-yoon's performance as Kang Hye-seong, who is "sincere" about divorce and winning cases.

'Good Partner 2' follows the "refreshing divorce show" where lead lawyer Cha Eun-gyeong (played by Jang Na-ra), who is "built for" divorce, and experienced lawyer Kang Hye-seong become "good partners" for one another. The story of lawyers choosing the best of second options at life's crossroads after divorce is expected to provide catharsis and empathy. The series sees the return of divorce specialist writer Choi Yu-na and the direction of the sensitive and sensible director Seo Min-jeong.

Returning after two years, 'Good Partner 2' is generating intense anticipation due to the addition of Kim Hye-yoon as Jang Na-ra's new partner. Kim Hye-yoon, who has maintained a hit syndrome with a wide acting spectrum through works such as 'Lovely Runner', 'No Tail to Tell', and the film 'Salmokji: Whispering Water', will take on her first professional role. She will portray Kang Hye-seong, an experienced lawyer who is more sincere about divorce cases than anyone else. Aiming to become a "named" divorce specialist, she will face an intense confrontation in divorce cases with the "legend" Cha Eun-gyeong from their very first meeting.

The released photos pique curiosity by showing Kang Hye-seong working as a lawyer in a local area. Having taken her first steps as a lawyer at 'Chunjeong Law Firm', Kang Hye-seong's confident smile and sparkling eyes overflow with the ambition and confidence that she can achieve anything. Contrary to her expectations of handling divorce cases, reality is not easy, as divorce often takes a backseat to the constant influx of civil and criminal cases. Nevertheless, her tenacity in searching for evidence for clients and her extraordinary sense of responsibility are evident. In particular, her unwavering presence during arguments is expected to showcase her straight path toward winning cases. It remains to be seen how Kang Hye-seong, who has built a solid foundation in the region by resolving numerous civil and criminal cases, will become entangled with the "legend" Cha Eun-gyeong.

Regarding her joining the second season, Kim Hye-yoon expressed, "It is an honor to join such a good production. As a newly introduced character, I am very excited and looking forward to how viewers will perceive me." She explained her reason for choosing the project, stating, "Since I have never played a professional role before, I chose this to show a new side of myself."

Describing the character Kang Hye-seong, Kim Hye-yoon added, "She is a person who has scars and pain but grows by meeting a good partner. Although her passion to do well sometimes leads to mistakes when it doesn't fit the situation, she is a person who overcomes and grows." She further noted her focus on the performance, saying, "I worked to show her being passionate, active, and hardworking in everything. Above all, her 'sparkling eyes' are her charm point."

Meanwhile, the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Good Partner 2' will have its first broadcast on November 20 at 9:50 PM.
