Feb 20, 2025

JTBC’s upcoming drama “The Art of Negotiation” has offered a glimpse of Lee Je Hoon and Kim Dae Myung’s chemistry and teamwork!

“The Art of Negotiation” follows the story of Yoon Joo No (Lee Je Hoon), an M&A expert who is known as a legendary negotiator, as he leads his team through high-stakes corporate challenges.

Yoon Joo No is a composed and sharp-minded negotiation expert who never loses his cool, no matter the situation. As the leader of Sanin Group’s M&A team, he meticulously gathers data, analyzes key issues, and makes rational decisions that lead to successful mergers and acquisitions.

Alongside him is Oh Soon Young (Kim Dae Myung), a negotiation lawyer who acts as the emotional anchor of Yoon Joo No’s team, a team driven by business interests and high-pressure deals. Not only does he provide crucial legal advice during M&A proceedings, but he also acts as a buffer in tense negotiations by genuinely understanding the opposing party’s perspective.

With these two vastly different personalities—the logical strategist Yoon Joo No and the emotionally perceptive Oh Soon Young—working together, viewers can look forward to their dynamic teamwork. The newly released stills offer a glimpse into their professional synergy, featuring Yoon Joo No confidently leading negotiations while Oh Soon Young stands by as his trusted ally.

Speaking about his role, Lee Je Hoon shared, “Every moment on set has been a learning experience and an absolute joy. The atmosphere on set is so good that I found myself smiling so much before filming; it was actually difficult to maintain a composed poker face.”

Kim Dae Myung also expressed his excitement, saying, “From the very first shoot, I was impressed by how clearly everyone embodied their roles. As we grew closer, our scenes became even richer and more entertaining.”
