A negotiation that will shake up the Korean corporate world is about to begin.

JTBC‘s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Negotiation Techniques’ (directed by Ahn Pan-seok, written by Lee Seung-young) depicts the activities of a large corporation’s M&A expert and his team, known as the legendary negotiator.

A teaser poster containing the back of Lee Je-hoon‘s silver hair, who has transformed into an M&A expert, has been released. The lineup of actors who will portray the interests of the Sanin Group, including Kim Dae-myung, Sung Dong-il, Jang Hyun-sung, Oh Man-seok, Ahn Hyun-ho, and Cha Kang-yoon, adds to the excitement.

According to the production team, Lee Je-hoon plays Yoon Joo-no, a negotiation expert who has come to save the Sanin Group from crisis. Yoon Joo-no is a negotiation expert with keen insight and judgment who evaluates the value of a company and promotes mergers and acquisitions, and is a legend in the M&A world, nicknamed the white snake. Lee Je-hoon’s acting as Yoon Joo-no, the M&A team leader of Sanin Group, is drawing attention.

Kim Dae-myung plays Oh Soon-young, a lawyer specializing in M&A team negotiations who will team up with Yoon Joo-no. Oh Soon-young, who is in charge of the M&A team‘s emotions, is a master of speaking who naturally leads negotiations in a direction that is beneficial to them by forming a rapport with the negotiation partner. With his soft speech and rich emotions, attention is focused on the story of Kim Dae-myung’s Oh Soon-young, who will show off a different negotiation technique from Yoon Joo-no.

Sung Dong-il plays Song Jae-sik, the chairman of Sanin Group. Song Jae-sik, the founder who rewrote the history of Korean companies with his outstanding business acumen starting from Sanin Construction to becoming Sanin Group, has overwhelming leadership and charisma. In order to help a company in crisis, curiosity is focused on Sung Dong-il‘s force, who will portray Song Jae-sik’s actions that will cause a whirlwind in the power structure by summoning Yoon Joo-no.

Jang Hyun-sung will give a passionate performance as the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) of Sanin Group, Ha Tae-soo. Ha Tae-soo is the number two man of Sanin Group, who is expanding his influence by holding on to the group‘s finances and accounting. As a candidate for the next chairman, he is a character who takes a blatant stand against Yoon Joo-no, who suddenly appeared. Jang Hyun-sung’s transformation that will complete the huge ambition of Ha Tae-soo‘s character is anticipated.

Oh Man-seok plays the role of Lee Dong-joon, the group’s external cooperation director, and he supports the bold and unconventional actions of Yoon Joo-no and the M&A team. Although he is an executive of a large company, Lee Dong-joon has a gentle and gentle personality and is Song Jae-sik‘s (Sung Dong-il) only trusted employee and close friend. The flexibility of Lee Dong-jun, the buffer zone of the Sanin Group forces, adds to the solidity of Oh Man-seok’s soft atmosphere.

Ahn Hyun-ho and Cha Kang-yoon, as the M&A team‘s manager Kwak Min-jeong and intern Choi Jin-soo, respectively, show solid chemistry. Kwak Min-jeong, the M&A team’s reasoning officer with innate mental calculation and memorization skills, and Choi Jin-soo, who will present a new paradigm in the negotiation world with the fresh sense and ability of the MZ generation, work together with Yoon Joo-no and Oh Soon-young (played by Kim Dae-myung) to successfully lead the negotiation. The M&A team‘s moves to show off a tight hexagonal balance are also drawing attention.

‘Negotiation Skills’ will first air on March 8th at 10:30 PM.
