In 'The Art of Negotiation', Lee Je-hoon and the M&A team dive into cross-border negotiations.
In the JTBC weekend drama 'The Art of Negotiation' (directed by Ahn Pan-seok, written by Lee Seung-young), the scene of the Sanin Group's M&A team members Yoon Joo-no (played by Lee Je-hoon), Oh Soon-young (played by Kim Dae-myung), Kwak Min-jeong (played by Ahn Hyun-ho), and Choi Jin-soo (played by Cha Gang-yoon) embarking on their first overseas business trip to Japan has captured attention.
Previously, under the leadership of M&A team leader Yoon Joo-no, the team members focused on the revival of the Sanin Group by selling subsidiaries and acquiring a gaming company to enter e-commerce, successfully weathering a major storm. However, just as they were catching their breath, the stock price defense line of 100,000 won collapsed, putting them in a precarious situation where they could be devoured by a private equity fund, creating a sense of crisis.
In the released photos, Yoon Joo-no and the team members are seen boarding a plane to Japan, sparking curiosity. Inside the plane, Yoon Joo-no and Kwak Min-jeong are busy focusing on work, while Choi Jin-soo appears tense on his first overseas trip, and Oh Soon-young offers relaxed advice to him, capturing the vivid scenes of their first business trip.
Tension already surrounds the meeting between the M&A team, who have entered Japan, and the company representatives welcoming them. While a friendly atmosphere seems to prevail at first glance, underlying each party's hidden motives regarding the deal adds to the thrill.
As cultural differences exist in transactions between countries, the Sanin M&A team is taking extra precautions ahead of the global negotiations. This deal, which involves not only different countries but also different languages, is expected to test the M&A team with unprecedented difficulty.
As a result, curiosity is piqued regarding the strategies Yoon Joo-no will employ on the cross-border negotiation stage. The team members are also intriguing as they embark on their first business trip as a team, each taking on different roles to contribute to the success of the deal.
In this overseas business trip of the Sanin Group team, actors Miyauchi Hitomi (Sakuraba Nanami) and Aoki Munetaka, who are beloved in Japan, will make special appearances to enhance the storyline. The performances of these two actors, who possess exceptional acting skills, are highly anticipated.
'The Art of Negotiation' will air today (22nd) at 10:30 PM.
