New SBS drama previews intense custody battle and adultery scandal

Preview footage for the upcoming SBS drama 'Good Partner 2' reveals Cha Eun-gyeong's divorce battle against Kim Ji-sang, who is claiming custody of their child, Jae, despite his extramarital affair with Choi Sa-ra.

Scenes depicting the conflicts and conclusions of the divorce process between divorce specialist Cha Eun-gyeong and experienced lawyer Kang Hye-seong have been released. This video, which contains preview content for the new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Good Partner 2', reveals the complex interests between Kim Ji-sang, a husband who committed adultery, Cha Eun-gyeong, who is preparing to divorce him, and Choi Sa-ra, who is at the center of the case.

"Settle the asset division and custody"... Cha Eun-gyeong's divorce declaration and Kim Ji-sang's counterattack

Cha Eun-gyeong demands divorce proceedings from her husband, Kim Ji-sang, who does not observe their wedding anniversary. Citing that she had to handle all housework alone as a reason for the divorce, Cha Eun-gyeong demands that specific matters, such as asset division and custody, be settled. Kim Ji-sang responds to this by claiming custody. During the trial process, Kim Ji-sang emphasizes that he has been raising the child, arguing that the other party was unable to care for the child due to being immersed in work.

However, Cha Eun-gyeong points out that Kim Ji-sang did not participate in major events such as the child's entrance or graduation ceremonies, mentioning the situation where she had to leave the child alone to engage in economic activities. As the opinions of both sides diverge over custody, the process of proceeding with a domestic investigation is depicted.

Choi Sa-ra's promotion and dismissal, and the end of entangled relationships

Choi Sa-ra, another axis of the case, is promoted to senior manager and even gets her own room, but she receives a notice of dismissal from Cha Eun-gyeong. While Choi Sa-ra reacts by calling Cha Eun-gyeong a "devil," Cha Eun-gyeong confirms the dismissal while pointing out Choi Sa-ra's behavior. In this process, it is revealed that Kim Ji-sang and Choi Sa-ra were in a romantic relationship, and it is also mentioned that Kim Ji-sang had provided consultation to the law firm where Choi Sa-ra works.

Choi Sa-ra attempts to maintain her relationship with Kim Ji-sang, but Kim Ji-sang declares that he has no intention of marrying her and demands that they do not meet on weekends. Kim Ji-sang shows signs of ending his relationship with Choi Sa-ra, indicating that he will utilize visitation rights until he secures custody.

The child's choice and the legal battle over custody

The role of the child, Jae, appears in the custody determination process. Jae expresses his own will between his father and mother. While Kim Ji-sang attempts to take Jae, Jae expresses his intention to live with his mother and meet his father on weekends. During the trial, Kim Ji-sang explains why he, as the defendant, must raise the child, attempting to disparage the other party's parenting environment.

Meanwhile, Kim Ji-sang urges Choi Sa-ra to reach an agreement for the sake of custody, proposing that the asset division be finalized quickly. The tension of the legal battle continues as Kim Ji-sang attempts to negotiate using Jae as a medium, clashing with movements to respect the child's choice.
