The original “Good Partner” series made waves when it aired from July to September last year, blending cold courtroom intensity with warm, emotional storytelling. Written by a real-life lawyer, the show centered on two drastically different attorneys—one, the experienced and no-nonsense Cha Eun-kyung (played by Jang Na-ra), and the other, the fresh-faced and passionate Han Yu-ri (played by Nam Ji Hyun), who was dealing with her first divorce case.
Ji Hyun’s portrayal of Han Yu-ri wasn’t just fan-favorite—it was award-winning. In fact, she bagged an acting honor in 2024 for her nuanced performance. No wonder fans are eager to see her return to the legal battlefield in Season 2!
Adding to the hype, SBS officially confirmed that Season 2 is in the works, with filming slated to begin in the first half of next year. But rumors started flying when whispers surfaced that Ji Hyun might not be available due to scheduling conflicts. Thankfully, SBS quickly clarified that no final decision has been made, and casting is still being sorted.
Let’s be real—without Nam Ji Hyun, the courtroom just won’t feel the same. Her chemistry with Jang Na-ra, the emotional depth she brought to her character, and that perfectly balanced rookie charm made “Good Partner” the success it was—with viewership peaking at 17.7% nationwide!
So, will she or won’t she? Only time will tell. But for now, K-drama lovers can keep their fingers crossed and hope for another season packed with legal twists, emotional punches, and the same fierce energy that made Season 1 so unforgettable.
After all, what’s a good courtroom drama without a little suspense—on and off screen?
