Mar 04, 2025

Upcoming drama “The Art of Negotiation” has released a character relationship chart!

“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. The drama is helmed by director Ahn Pan Seok, who is known for his meticulous attention to detail and realism.

The newly revealed relationship chart highlights CEO Song Jae Shik (Sung Dong Il), the founder of Sanin Group, a major corporation that began as Sanin Construction. However, despite its past glory, the company is now struggling with financial difficulties due to a massive debt of 11 trillion won (approximately $75 billion).

In the center of the chart is Yoon Joo No, a renowned figure in the M&A world, who joins Sanin Group in an effort to resolve its financial crisis. Upon his arrival, he personally selects his team, including legal advier Oh Soon Young (Kim Dae Myeung), financial manager Kwak Min Jung (Ahn Hyun Ho), and intern Choi Jin Soo (Cha Kang Yoon).

In between Yoon Joo No and Song Jae Shik are Ha Tae Soo (Jang Hyun Sung), the group’s CFO and second-in-command, and Lee Dong Jun (Oh Man Seok), the CCO—two powerful figures who oppose Yoon Joo No. As both have already solidified their influence within Sanin Group, all eyes are on how Chairman Song Jae Shik will respond to them and how their actions will affect Yoon Joo No and his M&A team.

Additionally, the chart introduces various executives at Sanin Group who align themselves with either Ha Tae Soo or Lee Dong Jun, hinting at an intense power struggle within the company. It also shows Yoon Joo No’s family, along with influential figures from various fields, including business reporters and underwriters.
