A new legal drama is coming on SBS in early 2024, the directly titled Good Partner centered around attorneys at a divorce firm. My fave divorce attorney K-drama remains Love and Marriage which feels like multiple lifetimes ago. Good Partner pairs the veteran partner with a pragmatic attitude to divorce law with the younger rookie who remains morally righteous, who … Continue reading →
