“Good Partner” is making a highly anticipated return for Season 2! The hit legal drama received an official green light for its second season on April 3, 2025, according to Daily Sports. While the news has fans excited, many are left wondering: what kind of legal chaos will unfold this time around? Who will join the cast, and who will reprise their roles? And perhaps most intriguingly, who will take on the roles of the protagonist and antagonist?
As the production is still in its early stages, SBS has kept details about filming, the broadcast schedule, and the new cast members under wraps for now. Despite the uncertainty, the excitement surrounding the show’s return is palpable, with fans eagerly anticipating what’s to come.
The first season of Good Partner, which debuted in 2024, quickly won over audiences with its fresh take on the legal drama genre, strong female characters, and compelling storytelling. The series centers on Cha Eun Kyung (played by Jang Na Ra), a seasoned divorce attorney with 17 years of experience at Law Firm Daejung. Confident and ruthless, Cha Eun Kyung is a lawyer who’s willing to bend the rules to secure a win. Her world is turned upside down when she’s paired with Han Yu Ri (played by Nam Ji Hyun), a rookie lawyer who challenges everything Cha believes in. Despite their contrasting personalities and differing approaches to law, the two women form an unlikely partnership as they navigate the complex world of divorce law.
The drama takes an emotional turn as Cha Eun Kyung faces her own divorce, throwing her carefully controlled life into chaos. Alongside them, fellow lawyers Jung U Jin and Jeon Eun Ho add to the complexity and intensity of each case, further enriching the storyline.
Good Partner quickly became a fan favorite, reaching a peak viewership of 17.7% according to Nielsen Korea. The show’s success was largely driven by the powerful performances, particularly Jang Na Ra’s portrayal of Cha Eun Kyung, which earned her her first-ever SBS Drama Award in 2024—a significant milestone in her career.
Directed by Kim Ga Ram and written by Choi Yoo Na, Good Partner set a high standard for legal dramas in Korea. Now, with the second season confirmed, fans are eagerly awaiting to see how the story unfolds. Will the dynamics shift? Who will rise to the challenge as the new antagonist? Only time will tell.
