Negotiation expert Lee Je-hoon goes head-to-head with Sanin Group‘s whale Jang Hyun-sung.

The production team of JTBC’s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘The Art of Negotiation’ (directed by Ahn Pan-seok, written by Lee Seung-young) released the second teaser video on the 14th, foreshadowing a tight competition between the M&A team led by Yoon Joo-no (played by Lee Je-hoon) and the executive team led by Ha Tae-soo (played by Jang Hyun-sung).

The second teaser video shows the war between the two key axes that hold power in Sanin. Yoon Joo-no‘s M&A team, which pursues innovation and change, and Executive Director Ha Tae-soo’s team, which boasts long tradition and experience, are in a fierce confrontation centered around the Sanin Group.

As the competition between the two forces intensifies, the employees also start saying, “This is war. If we lose, we‘ll get cut,” hinting at the tense atmosphere within the company. Unlike the newly appointed team leader Yoon Joo-no, Ha Tae-soo has been establishing his position as the real power behind the Sanin Group for a long time, boasting an overwhelming weight difference.


However, Ha Tae-soo, who was confident, saying, “This is the end for Yoon Joo-no,” shows his wariness by rushing toward Yoon Joo-no as soon as he sees him, suggesting that he is by no means an easy opponent. As the saying goes, “Let’s see what happens,” attention is focused on what kind of strategy Yoon Joo-no and the M&A team will use against Ha Tae-soo, the whale of the Sanin Group, and their confrontation.

In the midst of Yoon Joo-no and Ha Tae-soo’s fierce confrontation over corporate mergers and acquisitions, the cheerful remark of lawyer Oh Soon-young (played by Kim Dae-myung), who says that fighting is not his style and that M&A is a better fit, adds wit. It remains to be seen whether Oh Soon-young, who has entered the world of M&A, the pinnacle of capitalism, under Yoon Joo-no’s hand, will be able to maintain this smile until the end.

“The Art of Negotiation” will first air on March 8th at 10:30 p.m.
