01 / A closer look

The story, without the spoilers.

Yoon Joo-no is a legend in the world of mergers and acquisitions, a negotiator so skilled that companies call him when everything else has failed. He is calm, precise and almost impossible to read, and he has never lost a deal. Now he joins the M&A team at Sanin Group, a giant corporation drowning in debt, where every division is fighting for survival and every executive has a hidden agenda. His job is to sell, merge and save what can be saved, while the people who profit from the chaos try to stop him. Beside him is Oh Soon-young, a lawyer who believes in the work even when the work is ugly. The Art of Negotiation aired on JTBC from March 8, 2025, in twelve episodes, starring Lee Je-hoon and Kim Dae-myung. It is a tense, intelligent business drama that treats negotiation like a thriller — because in this world, it is one.

The Oxfea take.

A negotiator who never loses. A company that is falling apart.

EVERY DEAL HAS A PRICE.

Why you'll get hooked

  • Lee Je-hoon plays Yoon Joo-no, a legendary M&A negotiator known as the white snake.
  • Kim Dae-myung plays Oh Soon-young, the lawyer who becomes his closest ally.
  • Twelve episodes on JTBC about mergers, betrayals and the art of the deal.

Oxfea Score: 8.3/10 — Highly recommended. Lee Je-hoon turns corporate mergers into chess matches — tense, clever and grown-up. No romance, no filler, just a negotiator who never loses. The rare office drama that respects its audience.
