Ji Seung Hyun recently talked about his character in the Korean drama ' Good Partner '. 'Good Partner' tells the story of two divorce lawyers who are polar opposites. Cha Eun Kyung (played by Jang Nara) is a veteran lawyer who puts the interests of her clients and the firm's profits first, while Han Yu Ri (played by Nam Ji Hyun) is a rookie lawyer who still gets carried away by her emotions when solving cases.
In this drama , Ji Seung Hyun plays Kim Ji Sang, Cha Eun Kyung's husband who works as a doctor. Kim Ji Sang was initially depicted as a gentle character and a family man , but in the end he had an affair with his wife's subordinate. "Ji Sang loves his wife and daughter very much.
He supports his successful wife Eun Kyung and manages the household chores alone, but he is increasingly tired and lonely," said Ji Seung Hyun as quoted by Soompi. Ji Seung Hyun admitted that playing Kim Ji Sang in 'Good Partner' was a new challenge that was different from the characters he had played before. “I am proud to play a great hero in the ‘Korea-Khitan War.’
I feel sorry to the viewers who were expecting another good character, and I am a little nervous to show such a different side,” said Ji Seung Hyun. He added, “Kim Ji Sang’s emotional range fascinated me. I took on this role because it allowed me to explore the many facets of one character, from his happy past with his wife to his long-standing conflicts, an affair born of repetition and insecurity, and the love and frustration he feels for his daughter who he can’t leave behind amidst all this chaos.”
Ji Seung Hyun had intense discussions with director Kim Ga Ram while developing his character. “I aimed to capture a broader picture. I didn’t want it to be just about the affair. I hope the story encourages viewers to reflect on issues such as who determines the beginning and end of a conflict and who is right or wrong,” he added.
The chemistry between Ji Seung Hyun and Jang Nara, which depicts the rift in their relationship, is another highlight in this drama. "The filming was fun because Jang Nara was completely immersed in her role. It was interesting to see the contrast between the 'thinker' Eun Kyung and the 'feeler' Ji Sang," said the actor who was born on December 19, 1981.
According to Ji Seung Hyun, the drama 'Good Partner' explores the themes of marriage and divorce in a lighter and easier-to-understand way. The writer's real-life experience as a divorce lawyer adds a unique and interesting element to the drama. Meanwhile, the drama 'Good Partner' airs every Friday and Saturday on SBS, but the drama will take a three-week break from July 27 to August 10, 2024 and will return to air the sixth episode on August 16, 2024.
