SBS’s Good Partner is dominating the ratings with its latest episode.

In the August 23 episode of the Friday-Saturday drama, the intense custody battle between Cha Eun-kyung (Jang Nara) and Kim Ji-sang (Ji Seong Hyeon) took a dramatic turn. The show scored a viewership rating of 15.3% in the metropolitan area and 14.6% nationwide, with a peak rating of 18.8%, according to Nielsen Korea.

This makes it the highest-rated program in its time slot and for the entire week. The 2049 rating, a measure of viewership among adults aged 20-49, stood at 4.7%, showing strong engagement.

In the episode, tensions rise as Cha Eun Kyung learns about the emotional scars of her daughter, Kim Jae-hee (Yuna), and the pregnancy news of Choi Sara (Han Jae Hee). Kim Ji Sang's attempts to undermine Cha Eun-kyung during the custody battle add to the drama. The plot thickens when Choi Sara reveals an ultrasound photo, asking Kim Ji-sang to convince Jae-hee to live with her despite Jae-hee’s loyalty to her mother.

The episode also features a home environment investigation, where the shocking revelation that Jae-hee knew about her father’s affair and Choi Sara’s pregnancy before her mother did adds emotional depth. This, combined with a touching storyline involving Park Ji-hwan (Choi Deok Moon) and his non-biological son, highlights the drama’s powerful narrative.

As the episode ends with a heated confrontation between Cha Eun-kyung and Choi Sara, viewers are left eagerly anticipating the next installment. The upcoming episode airs on August 24 at 10 PM.
