Zhang Nala and Nam Jihyun star in ‘Good Partners,’ a marriage drama worth savoring repeatedly. The writer, Choi Weina, specializes in handling divorce cases, giving the story authenticity with some embellishments. The real value lies in understanding the perspectives of both parties involved in the cases.
Whether others’ stories were once ours or could become ours, the writer shares these stories to provoke different perspectives on judging the conditions of the cases.
The focus should not be on who is right or wrong, but on understanding the positions of both sides in the cases.
For example: Why wouldn’t a wife enduring long-term domestic violence want or dare to divorce? Is it due to issues with childbirth or seeking affection that lead both parties to choose divorce in anger? For someone unknowingly becoming a third party, how can they prove their innocence? How can one reduce the harm caused by infidelity that leads to the breakdown of two families?
Perhaps for the sake of the children or fear of discrimination from others, believing the other party will improve, they decide to continue enduring their husband’s abuse.
Lack of effective communication and consensus on childbirth between both parties leads to relationship breakdown. It could be due to exploiting society’s bias against divorce, intentionally setting traps for the innocent to deceive money; or hoping for a better nurturing environment for the children, even if they collapse and want to set aside their pride.
One key reason why the story of ‘Good Partners’ resonates with people is that the main character has personally experienced the process of divorce cases.
Played by Zhang Nala, the celebrity divorce lawyer, Cha Enjing, exudes confidence and professionalism in her defense, yet she also has a vulnerable, self-blaming, and warm side.
