Good Partner Season 2

About this title

The second season of SBS's legal office drama Good Partner is set at Rebom, the divorce law firm that divorce lawyer Cha Eun-kyung founded herself after leaving Daejeong Law Firm, where she takes on divorce cases with her new partner, an experienced lawyer who joins as a lateral hire.

It premieres as an SBS Friday–Saturday drama on November 20, 2026, at 9:50 p.m., two years after season 1 ended. A special teaser unveiled at the SBS Drama Awards on December 31, 2025, featured Cha Eun-kyung's line “Trust only me” and her new partner's reply, “No, trust me!” A teaser poster released in October 2026 leaves the seat beside Cha Eun-kyung empty, with the tagline “Seeking a partner for the second divorce show.” The production team explained that this season goes a step beyond focusing on divorce cases to look at the lives and choices of clients that continue after divorce. According to SBS, the planning companies for season 2 are Studio S, Studio&NEW and Artist Company.

Choi Yu-na, who wrote season 1, returns as writer. Choi is a practicing divorce lawyer from the first cohort to pass Korea's Bar Examination, and season 1 was her first drama script. Appearing on tvN's You Quiz on the Block while season 1 was airing, she said she wrote it herself because she felt it would only come across well if written by someone who had actually handled such cases, and recalled that she seemed to have written each episode at least ten times. In an interview with the legal newspaper Law Times, she explained that Cha Eun-kyung closely resembles who she is now, while Han Yu-ri carries much of what she felt as a first-year lawyer. According to materials SBS released in October 2026, Seo Min-jung directs. Season 1 was directed by Kim Ga-ram and Ahn Ji-sook.

Jang Na-ra returns as Cha Eun-kyung, a lawyer with 20 years of experience who is now the head of Rebom. Nam Ji-hyun, who played Han Yu-ri in season 1, has said she could not take part in season 2 because of time and scheduling issues, and Kim Hye-yoon has newly joined as Kang Hye-sung, an experienced lawyer who is wholeheartedly devoted to divorce cases. Kim Hye-yoon is known for playing Kang Ye-seo in JTBC's SKY Castle (2018) and Im Sol in tvN's Lovely Runner (2024). Whereas season 1 revolved around veteran Cha Eun-kyung and newcomer Han Yu-ri reconciling their different values, this season has been introduced as one in which, with the experienced Kang Hye-sung on board, the two lawyers each bring their own strengths to the partnership. Park Hae-jin, who appeared in SBS's The Killing Vote (2023), has joined as the new male lead, and P.O (Pyo Ji-hoon), who played Jeon Eun-ho of Daejeong Law Firm in season 1, also returns. SBS's program description and press releases issued through October 16, 2026, do not give Park Hae-jin's character name or occupation.

Season 1 aired 16 episodes on Fridays and Saturdays at 10 p.m. from July 12 to September 20, 2024, and was pre-empted from July 27 to August 10 for coverage of the Paris Olympics. Its ratings, by Nielsen Korea's nationwide measure, started at 7.8% for episode 1 and reached a series high of 17.7% with episode 7, while its peak in the Seoul metropolitan area was 18.7%. At the SBS Drama Awards on December 21, 2024, Jang Na-ra won the Grand Prize (Daesang) for the series, 23 years after her debut; Nam Ji-hyun won the Top Excellence Award for Actress in a Human/Fantasy Miniseries; and Jang Na-ra, Nam Ji-hyun, Kim Jun-han and P.O received the Best Teamwork Award. On stage, Jang Na-ra said, “I can't believe it, so I don't know what to say.” The season 2 production team has teased that Cha Eun-kyung will achieve a second stage of growth alongside her new partners.
