Jang Nara to Return in 'Good Partner 2' After Two Years... Spectacular Comeback as CEO of 50-Attorney Law Firm

Actor Jang Nara is returning as a tougher and more seasoned divorce lawyer.

On October 26, the production team of SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama "Good Partner 2" (written by Choi Yu-na, directed by Seo Min-jung), which is set to premiere on Friday, November 20, released character stills capturing the spectacular comeback of Cha Eun-kyung (played by Jang Nara), who has transformed into the managing partner of the law firm "Libom."

"Good Partner 2" is a refreshing divorce courtroom show where Cha Eun-kyung, a star lawyer for whom divorce is a natural fit, and Kang Hye-sung (played by Kim Hyeyoon), an experienced lawyer who is deeply sincere about divorce, become each other's good partners. The news of Jang Nara's comeback, having clinched the Grand Prize (Daesang) at the 2024 SBS Drama Awards, is already drawing high expectations from viewers.

The photos released today show the relaxed and dignified smile of Cha Eun-kyung, who has built up the 50-lawyer divorce specialty firm "Libom" over three years and was selected as "Power Woman of the Year." At the same time, her sharp gaze in front of the "Managing Partner" nameplate and her aura as a workaholic veteran engaged in courtroom arguments raise anticipation for her performance.

Jang Nara shared her thoughts, saying, "I was grateful for the opportunity to star in a drama that gets a second season. Meeting viewers again with the same character was truly a unique experience. The character of Cha Eun-kyung itself involved many elements of adventure, and playing her again made me feel somewhat cautious."

Naming "empathy" as the key change in Cha Eun-kyung, Jang Nara added, "By establishing the law firm Libom, she seems to empathize more deeply with the inner stories of her clients. Libom itself is essentially Cha Eun-kyung. I tried to shed as much of the pressure and ambition regarding the previous season as possible. I also tried to maintain a relaxed mindset so that viewers can watch comfortably."

Jang Nara, returning with a much deeper acting prowess, will showcase her refreshing divorce-solving methods when "Good Partner 2" premieres at 9:50 p.m. on Friday, November 20.
