There’s still about a full quarter left in 2024, but whatever—it doesn’t matter. For me, Good Partner is hands down the best K-drama of the year. Baeksang where are you now, give it to them.

The legal content is intense, and the family dynamics are just as fiery. This series takes us through various divorce cases: from straightforward divorce filings to custody battles, and even cases where no one wants custody of the child. Looking closely, divorce really is a brutal thing. Falling in love and agreeing to marry each other seemed so easy, but breaking up is chaos. When it's time to end things, they forget all about love and caring, focusing solely on personal gain and benefits afterward.

It’s fascinating to see the strict application of laws, where right is right and wrong is wrong, contrasted with something as fluid as love and relationships. It’s a weirdly fascinating duo.

A nice legal drama where the cases seem very real and probably happen a lot in real life.

TV Shows 2024 Ranked

Written by divorce attorney CHOI Yu Na, 𝙂𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧 is a very realistic and relatable series; probably most of the cases, if not all, may be based on true stories.

Through the lens of the attorneys, we can see in the series how Korean society sees divorce for women as social death, which made Korean women tolerated both physical and emotional abuses instead of divorcing their husbands.

Another issues will be lack of communication between couples, in which sometimes divorce gives them the opportunity to open up.

JANG Na Ra is definitely the MVP here, speaking of only crying scenes, she shows various ways handling different emotion of crying impressively.

Nevertheless, it would be better if the series ended with 12-episode length. Don’t get me wrong, the series ended pretty well given the current 16-episode length, seeing every character got their own growth, but the last few episodes somehow expendable (EP11, EP14-16 in particular).

chemistry between nam jihyun and jang nara was too strong so we had to have superfluous male “love interests” and for what?! in all seriousness, i loved good partner. but it did shock me to realize that korea doesn’t have no-fault divorce, like the absolute horror of that as concept is so deeply disturbing. the writer was NOT holding back about how this harms and endangers women. it gets just a little too unhinged out of nowhere about it at one point BUT the message was loud and clear and important! anyway, i strongly recommend this one because it is funny and smart and dramatique and that’s why it’s a hit!

everything is good until they really made jung woojin hide his feelings til the very end

Full review:
BEST DRAMA I WATCHED THIS YEAR??? Excellent storyline that i learn something new in every ep, best acting and chemistry that they are all literally best partners on screen, nice direction and script— biting, eye opening, sharp yet sensitive—

Good Partner was on hiatus for several weeks, yet they are always on top, proving their worth and praise. A drama that made by women in every departments with great touch and sensibility over divorce cases that came from different causes and how it affected its surrounding also showing various povs from people around it case by case. A minimum romance is always a chefs kiss.

jung woojin did in fact NOT get the girl, but he can still do no wrong in my eyes 😌

didn’t think divorce cases could be so interesting and moving + i really loved the dynamics of the two female leads, a veteran lawyer and a rookie lawyer, both headstrong in their own ways, learning and growing with each other 🥹💗
