[Drama 2024] Good Partner, 굿파트너

[Newbie21SG]

Good to see @maribella following this serial too!

 

Latest rating for Episode 8 was 14.7%, which represents Good Partner's highest Friday rating so far.

It has now replaced Dr Romantic 3's 16.8% (3.42 million viewership) at No 33 for Terrestrial TV's rating from 2018 onwards. While in terms of rating (17.7% for Episode 7 last Saturday, which was also the best episode so far), it was still below MBC's Knight Flower (18.4%, 3.395 million) for 2024, the viewership is higher at 3.43 million.

Can this beat Taxi Driver 2's 21% (and 4.01 million viewership)? I have a feeling it might be able to do so, considering its really excellent divorce cases so far (unexpected and refreshing to see). Jang Na Ra & Nam Ji Hyun; together with Jeon Yu Na really excelled in their acting so far.

So far, this is my best drama of 2024!

I really enjoyed Queen of Tears , it appealed so much to my old fairy tale  true love woolly headed teenage years. During the Olympics, I found a very similar trope Princess Royal, a Chinese series. My first since the show with Crystal Liu. Can’t remember the name.

 

Good partner is more angsty. I wish the name is more catchy. Maybe it is catchy in Korean? 
I am also happy Jang Nara finally gets a good show. I think she was really ho hum in VIP and the other one.

In this one, I caught the part when she shoved the mistress. Atta girl.

Really? Jeez ...it is just a role, a fictional character in a drama. I am annoyed to hear that some of the people from audience don`t understand that an actor plays a fictional character in a fictional world.

[maribella]

That is so funny. The actor had to apologise for his TV character.

“Good Partner” has released behind-the-scenes photos to thank viewers for their overwhelming support!

Written by an actual divorce attorney, “Good Partner” is a drama that depicts the humorous struggles of two very different divorce lawyers: Cha Eun Kyung (Jang Nara), a star lawyer for whom divorce is her calling, and Han Yu Ri (Nam Ji Hyun), a rookie lawyer who is still new to divorce.

The production team gave fans a special treat by unveiling new behind-the-scenes photos of the show’s cast. The images capture Jang Nara, Nam Ji Hyun, Kim Jun Han, P.O, Ji Seung Hyun, Han Jae Yi, and Yoo Na, who have been enchanting audiences with their dynamic on-screen chemistry.

 

Spoilers

Previously, Cha Eun Kyung was shown struggling during the divorce trial. As she handled another cheating case, her deep sympathy for the plaintiff was particularly moving. At the same time, the crisis between Kim Ji Sang (Ji Seung Hyun) and Choi Sa Ra (Han Jae Yi) grew more intense, adding additional drama to the storyline.

The success of “Good Partner” can be attributed to its exceptional teamwork. Jang Nara’s smile and her portrayal of Cha Eun Kyung’s complex emotions are particularly striking. Her gentle charisma also adds to the show’s appeal. Nam Ji Hyun’s radiant, positive energy shines through as well. Her role as Han Yu Ri, the outspoken new lawyer, has been widely praised for convincingly depicting her character’s development, further strengthening the drama’s impact alongside Jang Nara.

Good Partner: Episodes 8-9

by quirkycase

 

We continue with custody cases this week, now focusing on relationships between parents and children. There’s anxiety to go around for our ace attorney and her family as they begin navigating what their new family life could look like. Both parents try not to put extra pressure on their daughter, but all three know their future will be decided by her testimony. As if adolescence isn’t stressful enough.

 

 
EPISODES 8-9

 

The custody battle is in full swing with both Eun-kyung and Ji-sang growing more anxious and desperate as the investigator’s interview with Jae-hee looms. The parental interview leaves Ji-sang in the stronger position – his (true) stories of being the one to buy Jae-hee her first period products and watching her cry nightly over her mom’s absence don’t paint Eun-kyung in a good light. And Eun-kyung is too honest to try to deny it.

The bias toward giving custody to mothers gives Eun-kyung more of a chance, especially since there’s a belief that a same-sex parent is better for a child in adolescence. But society also judges mothers more harshly than fathers, so while an absent father who financially supports his family might be given a pass, a mother who does the same is seen as neglectful (though I’d argue it’s neglectful in both cases).

 

In these more contentious cases, it’s often down to the child’s testimony to decide custody. As Ji-sang and Eun-kyung wait on pins and needles for Jae-hee’s decision, we get another case of parents fighting for custody of a teenage boy. His statement that he wants to live with his dad about seals the deal, but then the mom throws a grenade: a DNA test showing her husband is not the kid’s biological father.

The father is devastated, but his love for his son remains unchanged. Unfortunately for him, there’s a strong emphasis on biological parenthood, so there’s no way he’ll get custody now. Still, he refuses to file a suit that would require him to relinquish parental status and begs the mother to let him continue to be a father to their son.

Witnessing how frequently birth parents abandon their children, Woo-jin and Eun-ho are both crying by the end of the arbitration. For Woo-jin in particular, seeing the loving relationship between the father and son is bittersweet. He’s got some major daddy issues, given that his supposed uncle – the law firm’s CEO – is actually his birth father, so… that’s messed up.

 

You know what else is messed up? Sara. As if she hasn’t done enough damage, she takes matters into her own hands after finding out she’s pregnant. Ji-sang makes it clear that Jae-hee still matters more to him than Sara and their future baby, so she decides to hide a photo of her sonogram for Jae-hee to find. Then, she meets with the child and has the gall to ask her to be a good big sister.

She has this delusional idea that if she can ensure Jae-hee goes to her mom, she’ll be able to convince Ji-sang to live with her – a happy little family. When her subterfuge comes out in Jae-hee’s custody interview, both Ji-sang and Eun-kyung are livid. Ji-sang yells at Sara to get lost and never contact him again, his selfishness once again on display like he shares no responsibility here. (The baby didn’t make itself.) Eun-kyung assaults Sara in full mom rage mode; she’ll be lucky if Sara doesn’t press charges, and this time she’d have a legitimate reason.

Not only did the secret baby come up in the interview, but it turns out Jae-hee has long known about the affair. She witnessed it with her own eyes because Ji-sang and Sara had no problem being all over each other while she was sleeping in the other room. Jae-hee’s trust in her dad has been slowly eroding the longer he continues to lie to her to protect himself. Although Eun-kyung has been lying too, Jae-hee knows her mom’s lies were to protect her. That’s why she wants to protect her mom too and asks the investigator not to tell her mom about the baby.

[maribella]

If CSR is in a wedding dress, then her gamble has paid off. Two cheating people deserve each other. But I never could understand why kdrama always had the man marrying his pregnant ex-girlfriend or a casual one night stands. Perhaps that’s the reality of Korean society. Their actors seem to get married when the woman is pregnant, maybe testing her fertility?

That was strange. He told her to buzz off after she pulled the stunt on JH and told her that he had only wanted to date her. But they wore wedding clothes? She can sue him for breaking his promise.

Or he could have changed his mind now that JH chose her mum in the preview.

Jang Nara And Nam Ji Hyun Fight Against Ji Seung Hyun In A Divorce Battle In "Good Partner"

Drama Preview

“Good Partner” has released new stills from the upcoming episode, hinting at an intense divorce battle!

 

Written by an actual divorce attorney, “Good Partner” is a drama that depicts the humorous struggles of two very different divorce lawyers: Cha Eun Kyung (Jang Nara), a star lawyer for whom divorce is her calling, and Han Yu Ri (Nam Ji Hyun), a rookie lawyer who is still new to divorce.

Spoilers

Previously, Cha Eun Kyung’s confusion and anger took center stage. After learning about Choi Sa Ra’s (Han Jae Yi’s) misdeeds, Cha Eun Kyung’s emotions surged, and her deep personal involvement in an affair lawsuit made the situation even more dramatic. Meanwhile, the crisis between Kim Ji Sang (Ji Seung Hyun) and Choi Sa Ra, who are facing the end of their relationship, hinted at major changes coming later in the story.

 

Newly released stills shows an intense standoff between Cha Eun Kyung and Kim Ji Sang, who lock eyes with a seething intensity that creates gripping tension. The image suggests that all that remains between them is hatred and anger. Their cold, fiery glares at each other, like sharp daggers, are highly significant.

 

 

Other stills show Han Yu Ri and Kim Ji Sang meeting. In a preview for episode 10, Han Yu Ri tells Kim Ji Sang, “Jae Hee (Yoo Na) wants the case to be over.” This exchange sparks curiosity about their conversation, especially given their apparent unwillingness to compromise.

Spoiler

 

The production team said, “Cha Eun Kyung and Kim Ji Sang, who are locked in a heated divorce battle, will soon reach a crucial turning point. Their emotional shifts will be a key element to watch.”

 

The next episode of “Good Partner” will air on August 30 at 10 p.m. KST.

5 Times We Angry Cried During Episodes 8-9 Of "Good Partner"

CSR and KJS are splitsville as we saw earlier. The woman is an idiot. I think the actress would look better with a thicker nose like many Asians. But many Korean actress have sharp pointy nose. Eg the actress in Gracious family. Looks so odd esp when they lifted the head, showing their nostrils. Just as well, I am not a plastic surgeon, problem won’t earn much.

 

The old man boss told Jang to sack CEK.

I am going to bet that she will open her own firm.

That was a curved ball. I thought CEK will start her own firm but it looks like the old boss will be kicked out.

 

Poor JH, she’s been with her dad for 13 years doing daily things and also fun things. Changing everything in a few months is just too much.
