Jang said the new season's Cha has grown more empathetic toward her clients' stories.

The production team dropped new stills of Jang Nara as Cha Eun-kyung on the 26th. In the story, Cha launched the Libom law firm and, in only three years, became the head of a divorce practice with 50 people on staff. In the stills, she wears the easy smile of someone named a "Power Woman of the Year," which sums up her new standing as a successful boss.

The title may be bigger, but the workaholic streak hasn't changed. The released scenes show her sizing up cases with a sharp eye and calmly arguing in court. The team says it wants to show a lawyer whose skills have only deepened.

The heart of the story is the partnership between two attorneys. Cha is the lead lawyer who treats divorce cases like a calling, and Kang Hye-seong (played by Kim Hye-yoon) is an experienced hire just as driven in the same field. Working as a team, they take on clients' cases and look for the best choices in the lives that continue after a divorce.

Jang said she was grateful to join a project that earned a sequel. Playing the same character again felt new, she said, and because the role has so many adventurous elements, there were moments when she became more careful. The biggest change, she said, is empathy: running a firm has widened how well Cha listens to what clients are going through. She added that she let go of the pressure and ambition from the earlier season and approached this one with a relaxed mind.

Jang won the grand prize (daesang) at the 2024 SBS Drama Awards for her work in the first season. The new season is slotted right after the currently airing Doctor X: The Age of the White Mafia, starring Kim Ji-won, keeping SBS's Friday-Saturday drama block going.

In Korea right nowIn Korea, Jang's return is a talking point in itself, since the first season's popularity led directly to a sequel. Viewers are especially curious because the show takes over SBS's Friday-Saturday slot from Doctor X. Her comment that she dropped the first season's pressure and played the role more comfortably has only added to the anticipation.
