Park Hae-jin's first stills released for 'Good Partner 2'

SBS has released first stills of Park Hae-jin as ambitious lawyer Park Tae-su, who will compete against Cha Eun-gyeong for dominance in the divorce industry. The second installment of the drama is scheduled to premiere this Friday, the 20th, at 9:50 PM.

SBS has released the first stills of Park Hae-jin, who will undergo a transformation into an "ambitious" lawyer aiming to become the top name in the divorce industry as Park Tae-su, the representative lawyer of Taesu Law Firm. The stills showcase his presence, ranging from a sly, strategic businessman to an aggressive lawyer, as he prepares to face the "legendary" Cha Eun-gyeong (Jang Na-ra) in a second installment of the divorce show. The new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Good Partner 2' is scheduled to premiere this Friday, the 20th, at 9:50 PM.

On the 2nd, the production team 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 the first stills of Park Hae-jin, who transforms into lawyer Park Tae-su to vie for the top spot in the divorce field. 'Good Partner 2' follows the "refreshing" divorce show of representative lawyer Cha Eun-gyeong (Jang Na-ra), who is naturally suited for divorce cases, and experienced lawyer Kang Hye-seong (Kim Hye-yoon), who is deeply serious about divorce, as they become "good partners" for one another. The story of lawyers choosing the best of the second-best options at life's crossroads after divorce is expected to provide catharsis and empathy. Expectations are high for the meeting of reliable actors Jang Na-ra, Kim Hye-yoon, Pyo Ji-hoon, and Park Hae-jin, under the direction of Seo Min-jeong and the writing of divorce specialist Choi Yu-na.

Park Hae-jin's joining the project is drawing significant attention as he has consistently showcased new charms in his works. He will play Park Tae-su, the representative lawyer of Taesu Law Firm, who seeks to become the top figure in the divorce industry. Having built recognition through the YouTube channel 'Taesu by the Law,' which has 200,000 subscribers, he is a lawyer with excellent business sense. He will engage in fierce competition with Cha Eun-gyeong of Rebom Law Firm for the top position in the divorce field.

The released stills pique curiosity with Park Tae-su's distinct presence. One image captures his serious side during a consultation, conveying a sophisticated aura through his inherent confidence and soft smile. For Park Tae-su, who believes "lawyers are in the service industry," the interests of the client are the highest priority. His persistent gaze, aimed at identifying what the opposing party wants to achieve the best possible result, reveals his unique entrepreneurial spirit.

Another image shows him in court without a smile, hinting at his nature as an "aggressive" lawyer who will unhesitatingly make moves to secure wins and profits. Attention is focused on what strategies he will use to win over clients and lead Taesu Law Firm while facing Cha Eun-gyeong.

Regarding his decision to join, Park Hae-jin stated, "I was looking forward to it when I heard a second season of a work I enjoyed watching, so I readily accepted the good proposal." He added, "There was some pressure being cast into a new character in a work where Season 1 was a hit, but I chose it because the character of Tae-su was interesting and I felt I could show a new side of myself."

Describing Park Tae-su as "the most realistic character in 'Good Partner 2'," Park Hae-jin added, "A lawyer is a legal professional, but also a businessman, and Tae-su is also a person who works as a YouTuber. He is a character who makes choices suited for the era of self-PR." He further heightened expectations by saying, "Tae-su is like a breathing hole that can relieve tension in a potentially heavy flow. I pursued a relatively light character and tried to act in a way that is as human and comfortable as possible. His charm point will be his slightly cute or playful side."

Meanwhile, the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Good Partner 2' will premiere on the 20th at 9:50 PM.
