Ji Seung-hyun's affair → Divorce lawsuit → Complete separation..Chang Nara's Emotional Change Led by 'Good Partner'



Viewers' attention is focused on Jang Na-ra's emotional change.

SBS Friday-Saturday drama 『Good Partner" (played by Choi Yu-na, directed by Kim Gar-ram) is stimulating empathy in reality and generating a heated response. The ratings of the 11th episode soared to 15.7% of the metropolitan area, 15.4% nationwide, and up to 18.9% (based on Nielsen Korea), continuing to rank first at the same time and first in weekly miniseries. In addition, according to the results released by Fundex, the official platform of Good Data Corporation, it has been hot for three consecutive weeks in the first week of September, topping the overall TV and TV-OTT topics.

Zhang Nara is at the center of the favorable reviews for the 'Good Partner'. Jang Na-ra, who is a veteran perfectionist lawyer recognized by everyone, but is portraying Cha Eun-kyung (Jang Na-ra), a mother who feels sorry for her daughter's endless shortage, with a wide range of acting. Cha Eun-kyung, a divorce lawyer who only pursued efficiency, filed for divorce from her husband Kim Ji-sang (Ji Seung-hyun), and her changing thoughts and emotions are gaining sympathy from viewers. Although he finally succeeded in divorcing the agreement, the ending of the 11th inning, which expressed feelings that the company might not have been necessary for his daughter Jae-hee (Yuna), added to the regret. With another turning point foreseen for Cha Eun-kyung, I looked back on the changes in Cha Eun-kyung's emotions that Jang Na-ra has built up so far.



▶ Star lawyer Jang Na-ra's sincerity over her husband's affair → The beginning of the catastrophe

It was a life where everything from a family husband, a daughter who was not sick even in her eyes, a perfect family to a great career was set as the answer. However, Cha Eun-kyung's world began to crack due to her husband Kim Ji-sang's affair. It was also miserable that the other person was Choi Sa-ra (Han Jae-yi), a secretary she had been with for 10 years. The despair and misery were indescribable because it was the betrayal of those who believed most. Nevertheless, Cha Eun-kyung closed her eyes. What I thought was a way to protect everything I've built up so far. Jang Na-ra perfectly describes Cha Eun-kyung, who was calm despite Han Yu-ri's (Nam Ji-hyun's) direct remarks, shaking in anger. For the first time, it revealed its human inner side and raised the audience's immersion to the fullest.



▶Fierce divorce suit and custody battle! Mom Jang Na-ra's regret that was all empty

After witnessing the scene of Kim Ji-sang and Choi Sa-ra's affair, Cha Eun-kyung's feelings, which had been suppressed, wriggled. Cha Eun-kyung, who decided to divorce and took out the blade of revenge. The lawsuit soon led to a custody battle for his daughter Kim Jae-hee. Because of her greater attachment to her father, Cha Eun-kyung was not sure that her daughter Jae-hee would remain by her side. To Han Yu-ri "I was an empty mother. So I'm not sure if Jae-hee will choose me. The confession, "Will Jae-hee choose me?", contained Cha Eun-kyung's regret that she had a great success as a lawyer but missed her family. Her daughter Kim Jae-hee's tears asking for time caused her to regret the past, which also sparked intense empathy.



▶ The shock and guilt of facing her daughter's deep wounds

Another truth faced by Cha Eun-kyung came as an uncontrollable shock. Kim Jae-hee, a daughter who knew her father Kim Ji-sang's affair before Cha Eun-kyung. Even Cha Eun-kyung had to check the scene of her affair and the ultrasound picture of her half-brother in front of her. Cha Eun-kyung, who found out about this while going through a domestic investigation procedure, collapsed without hesitation. Cha Eun-kyung, whose anger is at its peak with shock and guilt. Cha Eun-kyung's cry to Choi Sa-ra, warning that `My daughter should not have touched it,' was both cutthroat and sad. Jang Na-ra's performance, which burst into anger mixed with guilt about her daughter, who must have endured pain alone, and self-inflicted guilt, was by far the best.

▶ Total separation, bitterness about the ending relationship and a new starting point

Cha Eun-kyung, who won the custody battle and agreed to divorce Kim Ji-sang. The control room, where emotions filled with hatred and anger disappeared and only bitterness remained, was silent. Cha Eun-kyung gave a calm last greeting to Kim Ji-sang, who shed tears while apologizing. The eye contact between the two left a deep lingering impression, saying that they knew how desperately they wanted to be apologized and how they wanted to apologize. Cha Eun-kyung, who realized that the easiest 'divorce' was so difficult and complicated, was confused. "From now on, I want you to live by looking for Cha Eun-kyung, not a lawyer and mother."Cha Eun-kyung's tears flowing at Han Yu-ri's words were touching. It was tears of bitterness about the ending relationship, regretting that I had lived my best but had missed a part of my life. I am even more curious about what kind of life Cha Eun-kyung will live in the future after facing the biggest reflection and turning point in her life.

Meanwhile, the 12th episode of SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Good Partner' will air at 10 p.m. on the 6th.
