 As soon as it started, up to 11.1% in the Seoul metropolitan area...'Good Partner' Unusual master bedroom control
Good Partner's control of the home turf is unusual.

The reaction to SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Good Partner' (written by Choi Yu-na and directed by Kim Gar-ram) is hot. It drew favorable reviews by interestingly depicting the fierce daily life of divorce lawyers who try to choose the best of the next best from the episodes of reality empathy that ordinary people around us, 'I', or my family, can experience. In particular, the crisis facing Cha Eun-kyung (Jang Na-ra), a star divorce lawyer who thought it was perfect, made me even more curious about the future story.

Explosive reactions also poured in. The ratings of the second episode soared to 8.8 percent and 11.1 percent for households in the Seoul metropolitan area, topping all dramas aired on Saturday and ranking first in all miniseries aired during the week. In just two episodes, I pointed out why I had no choice but to fall into 'Good Partner', which caused viewers to be overly immersed.

▶ 'Efficiencyism'Jang Nara X' over-immers' Nam Ji-hyun's cold and hot 'Warmance' chemistry

Veteran star lawyer Cha Eun-kyung and new lawyer Han Yu-ri (Nam Ji-hyun) were unusual from the first meeting. When Han Yu-ri was in law school, Cha Eun-kyung broke his spirit by saying, "That's why you're not a lawyer, but a law school student." Their relationship didn't end there. Yu-ri Han's surprise landing at the Divorce Specialist Team', where Cha Eun-kyung is a direct supervisor, made her first exciting first day at work dreaming of deploying the 'Corporate Team'. Even though the values and the way they look at the divorce case are different, the conflict between the two people for a reason, which is so different, added interest to the viewers by presenting various viewpoints from moment to moment. Han Yu-ri's appearance, the only one who learned the secret of Cha Eun-kyung, also raised expectations for their 'Sweet and Salty'Warmance in the future. Above all, Jang Na-ra and Nam Ji-hyun's synergy of 'Good' was successful. Cha Eun-kyung's charm of being a mentor to new lawyer Han Yu-ri with feisty, sometimes too cold, but bone-chilling advice added to the specialness by meeting Jang Na-ra's color. Nam Ji-hyun led empathy by portraying the struggles of 'Han Yuri' who agonized over the spirit of the new lawyer and the harsh and bitter reality. This is why Cha Eun-kyung and Han Yu-ri's team play, which will continue special solidarity, is more expected.

▶ The honest and realistic episode of the people who decided to part ways

'Good Partner' was an extremely realistic episode as it was written by an incumbent divorce lawyer. It is an interesting picture of the struggles of divorce lawyers, which we did not know well, and at the same time, different views on the divorce case left room for various interpretations and thoughts, creating empathy. In particular, there was a series of favorable reviews for capturing the 'big deal' and the dilemma that took place at the moment of dismantling the family as 'realistic' and 'direct'. Divorce lawyers' concerns to choose the best of the next best in the harsh life balance game, and the process of divorce by people with various stories, reminded us of empathy and reflected on prejudices and stereotypes. I'm looking forward to more colorful episodes that will show from multiple perspectives that 'divorce' is not a stigma, but perhaps a gateway to being alone, which is essential to someone's life, and that it may be the best option for someone else to live well.

▶ Divorce crisis for veteran divorce lawyer?! Unpredictable twist in just two episodes 'Ending Restaurant '

Cha Eun-kyung, a veteran divorce lawyer whose divorce is 'Vocation'. Being itself is a channel and a person who makes you see everything about the medium 'divorce'. The crisis facing her, who seems to have a more perfect family than anyone else, including her family husband, who is an internal medicine doctor and even a medical advisor for the law firm 'Daejeong', has given her an all-time twist. It was shocking that Kim Ji-sang (played by Ji Seung-hyun), the husband of a star divorce lawyer, was having an affair, and that the opponent was Cha Eun-kyung's 10-year secretary Choi Sa-ra (Han Jae-yi). But the reversal was just the beginning. When Han Yu-ri, who witnessed Kim Ji-sang's affair with both eyes, informed Cha Eun-kyung of the fact, Cha Eun-kyung's calm reaction that she already knew everything surprised everyone. Viewers are wondering whether Cha Eun-kyung, who is first in efficiency, is closing her eyes to her husband's affair, or whether she became a Ending Restaurant in just two episodes. Attention is also focused on what changes will come to Cha Eun-kyung and Han Yu-ri, who are lawyers for Sanggeuk.

Meanwhile, the third episode of SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Good Partner' will air at 10 p.m. on the 19th.
