Good Partner 2: Cha Eun-kyung and Kang Hye-sung Face Off in Divorce Court

Um, Ms. Cha. We’re already in Season Two. Is this really okay?

Season Two? We’re in crisis, Ms. Cha. There are only two lawyers, you and me?

Wait, what happened to Good Partner? You fired them because they deserved it.

What kind of lawyers are they, when they don’t care about cases and only talk about the company’s shares?

Make us partners. This company will grow only if we share the profits.

You should’ve done cases well. You’re handing our cases to another firm and taking referral fees?

Don’t come in starting tomorrow. You haven’t done any work, so there’s nothing to hand over.

Eun-kyung’s seatmate is someone even veterans can’t easily put up with.

Then one day, a lawyer caught Eun-kyung’s eye.

Well, aren’t you cheeky, for a rookie. Correct.

That was Attorney Kang Hye-seong, right? Right? Right? Right?

In Gwangjin, far from Seoul, he handles civil cases, criminal cases, of course, and cases from construction disputes to debt collection. Kang Hye-seong does it all.

What’s the reason for the divorce? My wife had an affair.

Hye-seong met Eun-kyung in court over a divorce case.

I loved her very much. It was really hard for me to decide to get divorced.

That’s wise.

Is there a 100% chance I’ll lose the divorce case?

Not 100%, more like 99%. Then there’s no hope.

Even if a case has a 99% chance of losing, seeing that 1% chance and arguing the case is our job.

I’m a little worried. Well, the other side is that famous Cha Eun-kyung’s firm.

The head of the firm rarely appears in person.

Before trial, she upended Hye-seong’s expectations.

It’s Cha Eun-kyung. Even so, Hye-seong was sure he’d win.

Your Honor, please display the evidence.

Overwhelming evidence proving the wife’s affair.

We really didn't sleep. There’s ample evidence that you actively sought out partners, so how can you say there was no sex? But…

It seems plaintiff’s counsel missed our evidence from this morning, traveling afar.

Could you bring it up, please?

What is this? The client’s secret only Hye-seong hadn’t heard.

The plaintiff was the one who cheated first.

And the defendant’s affair happened because the plaintiff threatened and coerced them.

Seriously, who threatens and forces their spouse to have an affair?

The one beside you, counsel.

That’s quite an outrageous false claim. Can you prove it?

Yes. We’re doing a digital forensic analysis.

Now she has to uncover the truth her own client hid from her.

You should’ve told me that you cheated too, Seo-jin.

I’m sorry. What about their claim you threatened and forced your wife to have sex with another?

Oh, that’s absolutely not true. Absolutely.

Seriously, how could anyone threaten over that?

He just doesn’t want a divorce, so he’s lying to cover up his own wrongdoing.

Understood. So Hye-seong believes the client and argues for a divorce, but…

It’s an open marriage agreement. What is this?

An open marriage agreement, meaning free sex, an agreement to have sex freely.

As the trial goes on, unfavorable evidence piles up.

Are you really going to do this? Why on earth would you lie to your own lawyer?

An open marriage? Actually, it’s my first marriage, and my wife’s second.

You might think I’m crazy, but back then, I really wanted to marry her, even if it meant doing that.

But now she’s pinning it all on me. See?

You’re not satisfied with just me either, are you?

I’m sorry. No, you kept seeing other guys, so I did it in a fit of anger too, There’s nothing else going on.

Actually, this works out for the best. Since things have come to this, let’s just draw up an agreement and make it official.

Honey, I’m really sorry. Huh? I was wrong…

I’ve already signed here, you know? Just write your name here. Go on.

Uh-huh. Seo Ji-hoo.

Understood. I represent Ji-hoon Seo, so I’ll trust and defend him to the end.

He stood by his client even as things got rocky.

He’s divorce material. I was going to tell you anyway.

Yes. I found a lawyer I like. Liar, liar.

You said someone would start last time, but no one came. Still.

This time, it’s for real. Double Park Tae-su brought in a lawyer Hye-seong wanted to recruit.

Attorney Kang Hye-seong? Huh? You know me?

I’m a subscriber to *Lawfully Yours*. Really?

Why are you here? I’m here for an interview.

Attorney Cha Eun-kyung told me to come by.

So you’re recruiting lawyers even from Gwangjin?

Attorney Kang seems made for criminal law.

How about joining Tae-su? I’ll bring you on with better terms than Representative Cha offered.

What? We’re a full-service law firm. Attorney Kang seems made for criminal law.

Life is all about timing. As Tae-su set out to compete with everything Eun-kyung had, Eun-kyung went to see him herself, bringing her face-to-face with Tae-su.

Attorney Park Tae-su. Cha Eun-kyung, who’s made for divorce, and Kang Hye-seong, who’s serious about it.

A divorce showdown with two former courtroom rivals, now a team.

And rival Park Tae-su, who’s aiming for the top of the divorce world.

And the story with Ji-sang isn’t over yet?

At least Jae-hee has Ji-hoon. How great to go from friends to sisters.

Jae-hee, now I finally know who you are.
