Block B member and actor Good Partner 2 star Pyo Ji-hoon will meet viewers once again in the second season of the hit series following his appearance in Season 1.
Pyo Ji-hoon returns in ‘Good Partner 2’ as a much more mature associate lawyer. Ahead of its premiere on Friday, November 20 at 9:50 p.m., the SBS new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Good Partner 2’ (directed by Seo Min-jung, written by Choi Yu-na, planned by Studio S, Studio & New, and Artist Company) released stills on the 10th highlighting Jeon Eun-ho (played by Pyo Ji-hoon), the reliable right-hand man of Cha Eun-kyung (played by Jang Nara) and the energy booster of the ‘Libom Law Firm’. His anticipated encounters with fellow associate lawyer Kang Hye-sung (played by Kim Hye-yoon) are also raising curiosity.
‘Good Partner 2’ is a refreshing divorce court show where representative lawyer Cha Eun-kyung, who treats divorce as her ‘constitution’, and experienced divorce lawyer Kang Hye-sung, who is ‘sincere’ about divorce, become each other’s good partners. The story of lawyers making the best choices among alternatives at life’s answerless crossroads, where life continues even after divorce, delivers thrilling catharsis and empathy. Divorce specialist writer Choi Yu-na returns to write the script, while sensible and delicate director Seo Min-jung takes the helm, raising expectations. Furthermore, the meeting of trusted actors including Jang Nara, Kim Hye-yoon, Pyo Ji-hoon, and Park Hae-jin is drawing fervent anticipation.
Pyo Ji-hoon returns as ‘Jeon Eun-ho’, who added pleasant laughter and vitality in Season 1. Jeon Eun-ho, who used to shout ‘Work-Life-Love Balance’, left ‘Daejeong Law Firm’ alongside Cha Eun-kyung and has been walking the same path at ‘Libom Law Firm’. Having grown a step further as a lawyer, Jeon Eun-ho now acts as a more reliable friend and colleague to Cha Eun-kyung.
Meanwhile, the released photos capture the tense yet intriguing meeting between Cha Eun-kyung, Kang Hye-sung, and Jeon Eun-ho. The war of nerves between ‘Libom Law Firm’ and ‘Chunjeong Law Firm’, who clash over a divorce case, continues outside the courtroom as well. Kang Hye-sung becomes visibly uncomfortable at Cha Eun-kyung’s advice, and it is none other than Jeon Eun-ho who steps in to diffuse the tense atmosphere. Having worked hand-in-hand for a long time, Jeon Eun-ho intuitively grasps the hidden meaning behind Cha Eun-kyung’s words. His playful expression while interpreting her words and mediating the atmosphere conveys years of teamwork. This is precisely why anticipation is high for Jeon Eun-ho’s role as Cha Eun-kyung’s dependable ‘guardian’ and most proficient ‘interpreter’.
Subsequent photos also capture a closer encounter between Kang Hye-sung and Jeon Eun-ho. Sharing a meal for reasons yet unknown, the two share the common denominator of being ‘associate lawyers’. True to Jeon Eun-ho, who is loved by colleagues and clients alike for his exceptional sociability and social skills, he is seen offering cheerful comfort to a worried Kang Hye-sung, creating an intriguing dynamic. Viewers are eager to see how the two associate lawyers will grow amidst harsher and worse divorce cases, and what kind of divorce strategies Jeon Eun-hoβwho maintains amicable relationships with everyoneβwill unfold for his clients.
Regarding his feelings about returning as ‘Jeon Eun-ho’ once again, Pyo Ji-hoon shared, “As an actor, knowing how great of a happiness it is for a work to succeed and continue into a series, I am extremely thrilled and overwhelmed.” Naming ‘harmony’ as his primary acting focus, Pyo Ji-hoon stated, “Since many new characters appear, I tried not to stand out or try too hard to be noticed. Rather than giving special new acting points, I focused on the harmony of the entire drama.” He added, “I wanted to become a character that provides ‘stability’ so that viewers who loved Season 1 can comfortably watch Season 2 as well,” further heightening expectations for his performance.
Meanwhile, Pyo Ji-hoon is firmly establishing his position as an actor this year. Back in June, he delivered a passionate and acclaimed performance as Bong Geun-dae in the Netflix series ‘Punishment’, which was released in over 190 countries worldwide. At the time, ‘Punishment’ stayed at the top of the global non-English category for a prolonged period, receiving immense global love, and high possibilities for a Season 2 are already being discussed. He also showcased his scene-stealing charms as Kwon Sang-woo’s younger brother in the film ‘Heartman’, and with his joining of ‘Good Partner 2’, anticipation is building to see what kind of charm he will display next.
