Park Hae-jin Joins 'Good Partner 2,' Set to Vie with Jang Nara for Top Spot in Divorce Law

Actor Park Hae-jin is joining SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Good Partner 2' as a divorce lawyer who combines a practical business sense with a mischievous charm.

On the 2nd, the production team of 'Good Partner 2' unveiled the first stills of Park Hae-jin, who plays Park Tae-soo, a partner attorney at Taesoo Law Firm. 'Good Partner 2' follows Cha Eun-kyung (Jang Nara), a star lawyer who is in her element handling divorces, and Kang Hye-sung (Kim Hye-yoon), a new attorney deeply committed to divorce cases, as they deliver a cathartic divorce courtroom show. Carrying on the success of its predecessor, which drew a peak rating of 17.7% in 2024, this season features Park Hae-jin as a famous YouTuber and business-minded lawyer who runs the channel 'By the Book, Tae-soo,' with 200,000 subscribers. He squares off against Cha Eun-kyung in a battle for the top spot in divorce law.

The photos released that day capture Park Tae-soo's multifaceted personality. He wins clients' trust with an endlessly gentle, relaxed smile, but the moment he steps into the courtroom, his smile vanishes and he reveals his aggressive nature, boldly making high-stakes moves solely to win and profit. As he showcases his savvy business side in an era of relentless self-promotion, viewers are left wondering how he will shake up the taut unfolding drama. Park Hae-jin described Park Tae-soo as “a character who gives viewers room to breathe and lets them relax amid what can be a heavy storyline,” adding that his appeal lies in a down-to-earth, approachable side and an understated cuteness.

The 16-episode 'Good Partner 2,' which adds fresh faces including Kim Hye-yoon and Park Hae-jin to its cast, premieres November 20 at 9:50 p.m.
