Two Netflix shows that debuted this summer, “Partner Track” and “The Imperfects,” won’t be picked up for a second season, TheWrap confirmed Tuesday.
“Partner Track,” based on Helen Wan’s 2013 novel “The Partner Track,” starred Arden Cho, who played Ingrid Yun, a motivated young lawyer who is climbing the ladder to becoming a partner at a prestigious law firm. During her journey, the show highlights the challenges women of color — specifically Asian American women — face in white, male-dominated industries.

Arden Cho, the star of Netflix's latest romance legal drama "Partner Track," has been in the spotlight for well over a decade, but she's managed to keep her love life private. In the series, the actor plays Ingrid Yun, a tenacious lawyer who's determined to climb up the corporate ladder and become a partner at her law firm, all while navigating a love triangle with her former fling, Jeff Murphy (Dominic Sherwood), and the doe-eyed Nick Laren (Rob Heaps).
While many viewers are engrossed in Ingrid's nail-biting love woes, others are also curious about Cho's relationship status in real life. The 37-year-old "Teen Wolf" actor - who's set to star in the forthcoming live-action adaptation of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" - is notoriously tight-lipped about her romances. Case in point: Cho has only ever gone public with Ryan Higa, the popular internet personality whom she dated for nearly five years.

If you've already binge-watched all 10 episodes of Netflix's new legal drama series "Partner Track," then you are probably very familiar with actor Dominic Sherwood - and possibly have a new face pinned to your billboard of Netflix heartthrobs. Some may remember Sherwood from his three-season stint on Freeform's "Shadowhunters," in which he played series lead Jace Wayland from 2016 to 2019. On "Partner Track," he stars as Jeff Murphy, lawyer and boyfriend to series protagonist Ingrid Yun (portrayed by Arden Cho). From his character's swoonworthy side-eye to his irresistible charisma, fans are eager to see Jeff's redemption arc play out in a possible season two.
Meanwhile, some are curious as to whether Sherwood is currently single or taken. Despite their fiery onscreen chemistry, Sherwood and Cho are not an item in real life. Albeit, that wouldn't be the first time Sherwood entered a relationship with one of his costars. In recent years,...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains details about Season 1 of Netflix’s Partner Track.
From Netflix, the streamer behind Virgin River and Sweet Magnolias, comes Partner Track, a new contemporary comedic drama series that combines the romance of Virgin River, the friendship of Sweet Magnolias with the corporate intrigue of HBO’s Succession.
Based on Helen Wan’s book, Partner Track follows Ingrid Yun (Arden Cho), an idealistic young M&a attorney, daughter of Korean immigrants, who struggles with her moral compass as she fights to climb the partner track at white male-dominated top New York City law firm Parsons Valentine. The first season finds Ingrid in a love triangle with Nick, a handsome, rich, nice guy, and Jeff Murphy, a new transfer from the London office, with whom she once shared a one-night stand and clearly still has attraction to. She tries to do the sensible thing and commits to Nick by accepting his proposal,...

The most frustrating turn in any romantic comedy is when the leading lady and/or man becomes a jerk. It’s a crucial moment — necessary, even — but it’s always the hump you have to endure in order to get to the part where everyone learns their lesson, embraces their truth, and kisses their hot crush to the triumphant swell of an impossibly catchy pop song that will nonetheless fade from memory by the time the credits roll. Without that annoying blip of tension, that payoff won’t be half as sweet — or, truth be told, half as earned.
Such is the conundrum facing “Partner Track,” Netflix’s frothy new comedy based on Helen Wan’s novel about lawyers fighting tooth and nail to become partner, if only they could stop getting distracted by each other. Ingrid (Arden Cho) is the firm’s determined golden girl, especially because she’s...

Justine (Tallulah Haddon) meets Rachel (Sophie Reid) in a bookshop and the two start chatting. After another chance enounter they begin dating and quickly develop a pretty serious relationship. The problem is that Rachel, about to move to Barcelona to be an English teacher, has her life much more together than Justine, who is on probation and still in the grip of alcoholism.
There are a lot of issues going on in Justine, but rather than alcoholism, or putting one’s life back together on probation, or the struggles of a relationship across economic lines, director Jamie Patterson and writer Jeff Murphy are interested in the human story between their two main characters. We don’t get a huge amount of background on Rachel, and what we learn about Justine is largely teased out in her reticence about her past, at least until one late scene lays some family tensions a bit more bare,...
