Actor Park Hae-jin is joining 'Good Partner 2' to showcase an exceptional presence.

The production team of the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Good Partner 2' (written by Choi Yu-na, directed by Seo Min-jung) released the first stills of Park Hae-jin, who has perfectly transformed into lawyer 'Park Tae-soo,' a contender eyeing the top position in the divorce law field, on November 2.

'Good Partner 2' is a refreshing divorce courtroom show where Cha Eun-kyung (played by Jang Nara), a star lawyer for whom divorce is a 'calling,' and Kang Hye-sung (played by Kim Hyeyoon), an experienced lawyer who is 'sincere' about divorce, become each other's good partners. Divorce specialist writer Choi Yu-na takes on the scriptwriting once again, with Jang Nara, Kim Hyeyoon, P.O, and Park Hae-jin starring in the series.

Park Tae-soo, played by Park Hae-jin, is the representative lawyer of the 'Law Firm Taesu' who also runs a YouTube channel called 'Lawyer Taesu' with 200,000 subscribers and possesses exceptional business acumen. Believing that 'lawyers are in the service industry,' he is a character who tenaciously digs deep to achieve the best results, engaging in a fierce rivalry with Cha Eun-kyung for the top spot in the divorce law sector.

In the released stills, Park Hae-jin captivates attention by seamlessly transitioning between a sophisticated aura that draws in clients with a gentle smile and the demeanor of an 'offensive-type' lawyer who unflinchingly throws down his winning card for victory in the courtroom.

Sharing his thoughts on joining the show, Park Hae-jin said, 'I was already looking forward to it after hearing that Season 2 of a project I thoroughly enjoyed watching was being produced, so when I received a good offer, I gladly accepted it.' He added, 'While there was a sense of pressure joining a hit work from Season 1 with a new character, I chose this project because the character of Taesu was intriguing and I felt I could show a new side of myself.'

Describing Park Tae-soo as 'the most realistic character in 'Good Partner 2',' Park Hae-jin explained, 'A lawyer is a legal professional, but also a businessman, and Taesu is someone who also works as a YouTuber. He is a figure who makes choices fitting for the self-PR era.' He further noted, 'Taesu acts as a breathing space that prevents the tension from becoming overwhelming amidst a potentially heavy flow. I pursued a relatively lighthearted character and tried to make my acting as human and comfortable as possible,' adding, 'His slightly cute and mischievous charm will be Taesu's main appeal.'

Raising anticipation with the addition of Park Hae-jin, 'Good Partner 2' will premiere on Friday, November 20, at 9:50 PM KST, following the currently airing 'Doctor X: Mafia in White'.
