Negotiations that will buzz the Korean business community begin.

JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama "The Art of Negotiation" (directed by Ahn Pan-seok, scripted by Lee Seung-young, BA Entertainment, SLL, and drama house studio), which will premiere at 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 8, depicts the M&A experts of a large company called legendary negotiators and the team's performance.

Earlier, a teaser poster showing the back of Lee Je-hoon's silver hair, who turned into an M&A expert, has been released, raising curiosity about the "technology of negotiation." In addition, the lineup of actors who will draw the interests of people from the mountain group, including Kim Dae-myung, Sung Dong-il, Jang Hyun-sung, Oh Man-seok, Ahn Hyun-ho, and Cha Kang-yoon, is adding interest.

First, Lee Je-hoon played Yoon Jun-no, a negotiation expert who came to save the industrial group in crisis. Yun Juno is a negotiation expert with keen insight and judgment, and is a legend in the M&A world who is known as "white 蛇" for evaluating the value of a company and pursuing mergers and acquisitions. Attention is focusing on Lee Je-hoon's acting, who will show his new face as Yoon Jun-no, head of the M&A team of Sanin Group.

Oh Soon-young, a lawyer specializing in M&A team negotiation who will team up with Yoon Jun-no (Lee Je-hoon), will be played by Kim Dae-myung. Oh Soon-young, who is in charge of the sensibility of the M&A team, is the owner of speech that forms a consensus with the negotiating partner and leads in a direction that naturally benefits. Attention is focused on the story of Kim Dae-myung's Oh Soon-young, who will showcase a different negotiating skill from Yoon Jun-no with a calm tone and rich sensibility.

Sung Dong-il is divided into Song Jae-sik, chairman of the Industrial Group. The founder Song Jae-sik, who wrote the history of Korean companies with his excellent business skills starting from mountain construction to becoming a mountain group, has leadership and charisma that overwhelms all sides. We are curious about Sung Dong-il's force that will summon Yoon Jun-no for the company in crisis and portray Song Jae-sik's move to make a splash in the power structure.

Ha Tae-soo, CFO (Chief Financial Manager) of the Sanin Group, is played by Jang Hyun-sung. Ha Tae-soo is the second-in-command of the KDB Group, which is expanding its power by holding onto the group's cash cow such as finance and accounting. He, who is emerging as a candidate for the next chairman, is a person who is in direct confrontation with the sudden rolling idol Yoon Jun-no. Jang Hyun-sung, who will complete the huge ambition of Ha Tae-soo's character, is looking forward to the transformation.

Oh Man-seok plays Lee Dong-joon, the head of the group's external cooperation, which strengthens the relentless and unconventional moves of Yoon Jun-ho and the M&A team in the play. Lee Dong-joon, who is an executive of a large company but has a gentle and gentle personality, is the only employee and best friend that Song Jae-sik (Sung Dong-il) believes in. The flexibility of Lee Dong-joon's character, a buffer zone for mountain group forces, adds confidence with a soft atmosphere of Omanseok.

Ahn Hyun-ho and Cha Kang-yoon, respectively, unite as Kwak Min-jeong, the manager of the M&A team, and Choi Jin-soo, an intern, to show solid teamwork. Kwak Min-jeong, who is in charge of the reason of the M&A team with natural mental arithmetic and memorization skills, and Choi Jin-soo, who will present the paradigm of the negotiation world with the fresh sense and ability of the MZ generation, successfully lead the negotiations in conjunction with Yoon Jun-no and Oh Soon-young (Kim Dae-myung). As a result, attention is also being paid to the M&A team's move to show off its full hexagonal balance.

The "technology of negotiation," which heralded the meeting of actors with such a powerful presence and unique characters, will show the standard of negotiation through fierce debates by negotiation experts and the struggles of M&A teams to resolve them against the backdrop of large industrial groups.

JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama "The Art of Negotiation," which tells the story of a negotiator who fights a war without gunfire every day to take care of his profits at the negotiating table, will premiere at 10:30 p.m. on March 8 (Saturday).
