What is Suspicious Partner about?

Prosecutor Noh Ji-wook and trainee Eun Bong-hee meet badly, work together worse, and end up handcuffed to the same murder case when Bong-hee is framed for killing her ex-boyfriend. Ji-wook leaves the prosecution service to defend her, and the scrappy little law practice they open keeps attracting the attention of the man who actually did it. Broadcast as forty half-hour instalments, it swings hard between courtroom banter and genuine dread.

Critics consensus: The tonal whiplash is the whole appeal — Ji Chang-wook and Nam Ji-hyun keep the romance buoyant while a genuinely unsettling killer plot runs underneath, and the half-length episodes make it fly by. The cast is led by Ji Chang-wook, Nam Ji-hyun, Choi Tae-joon, Kwon Nara.
