SBS Heads into Production of Good Partner 2 with Returning Jang Nara and New Addition of Park Hae Jin and Kim Hye Yoon

The start of 2026 in K-drama land hasn’t been smooth. Netflix had a good showing with Can This Love be Translated but shortly thereafter male lead Kim Sun Ho got into a tax evasion scandal. Only Ji Sung and The Judge Returns is doing well in K-drama land but not enough to generate stronger buzz. So SBS really needs to get moving on its planned second season with Good Partner 2, with female lead Jang Nara returning and the new addition of additional leads Park Hae Jin and Kim Hye Yoon. This feels like it could have its own legs beyond being the second season of the popular 2024 drama thanks to a fresh lineup but with the same construct and execution. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen Park Hae Jin and he’s always solid and Kim Hye Yoon really needs a good drama story for her talents as her most recent outing with No Tail to Tell is a big bust as well.
