Good Boy Teaser Introduces Park Bo Gum, Kim So Hyun As Ex-Athletes Turned Rookie Cops
Last Updated:
The production team of Good Boy described the show as a story about 'youth who rise again after defeat' and promised it to be a package of action, comedy and romance.
After enthralling fans with his performance in When Life Gives You Tangerines, actor Park Bo Gum is returning to the screen with yet another highly anticipated drama titled Good Boy. On May 1, JTBC released the first teaser for the series through its various social media channels, promising a unique blend of action, comedy and heartwarming moments.
JTBC's Good Boy is a story about a group of young athletes who take up roles as police officers through a special recruitment process. Trading their medals for badges, the group will take on the world of corruption and fight injustice and deception. The teaser begins by giving a peek into the lives of the acclaimed athletes, each one of whom stood in the international spotlight.
The characters include boxing gold medalist Yoon Dong Joo, played by Park Bo Gum, shooting gold medalist Ji Han Na, played by Kim So Hyun, fencing silver medalist Kim Jong Hyun, portrayed by Lee Sang Yi, wrestling bronze medalist Go Man Sik, portrayed by actor Heo Sung Tae, and discuss throw bronze medalist Shin Jae Hong, played by Tae Won Suk.
While the first few seconds of the teaser show a flash of their golden moments as athletes, surrounded by cheers and glory, the mood quickly shifts. The teaser then reveals their harsh realities, with Yoon Dong Joo, once known for his powerful uppercuts, being cramped in a car and stealing a few moments of sleep during his shift. Ji Han Na, known for her perfect aims, now hides her sadness behind her forced smile.
Kim Jong Hyun, who once yielded his sword with pride, and Go Man Sik, who overpowered his opponents with his strength, go through their ordinary routines far from the arenas which once defined them. The most jarring scene of all was when Shin Jae Hong, the medal-winning discus thrower, was seen in a giant police mascot suit on the street.
Just as hope seems to vanish for the quintet, a dark and dangerous villain emerges in Inseong City, pulling the five heroes back into action. Together known as the 'Goodvengers," they take on injustice with renewed strength. The 50-second teaser ends with Yoon Dong Joo saying, 'The round isn't over until we've taken down our opponent." As reported by Soompi, the production team of Good Boy described the show as a story about 'youth who rise again after defeat." They promised the show to be a package of action, comedy and romance.
Good Boy will premiere on JTBC on May 31 at 10:40 PM KST and will air every Saturday and Sunday till its conclusion on July 20.

GOOD BOY Episodes 3-4 Recap: Park Bo Gum suspects Oh Jung Se while Kim So Hyun uncovers clues in mysterious case
The latest episodes of GOOD BOY delivered emotional depth and high-stakes drama as the story took a dark turn. It's an ongoing action-thriller drama starring Park Bo Gum and Kim So Hyun. Airing on June 7 and 8, Episodes 3 and 4 revealed disturbing truths, painful family tensions, and a tragic death that shook the core of the plot. Set in a gritty urban environment, GOOD BOY follows a group of five former national athletes recruited into a special police task force. Each member brings their own unique set of skills and personal baggage as they attempt to serve justice in unconventional ways. Yoon Dong Ju's growing suspicion Episode 3 picks up with Yoon Dong Ju (Park Bo Gum) growing increasingly suspicious of Min Joo Young (Oh Jung Se). The man appears to be deeply entangled in the dark underbelly of a growing criminal conspiracy. After confronting Min Joo Young directly, Yoon Dong Ju is met with feigned ignorance and evasive behavior. Frustrated but determined, he makes it clear he will not back down until the truth is exposed. In an attempt to escalate the matter through proper channels, he turns to Go Man Shik (Heo Sung Tae), a superior officer, to initiate an investigation. However, his concerns are brushed aside, and the institutional apathy becomes yet another obstacle in his pursuit of justice. Meanwhile, the case surrounding Lee Gyeong Il (Lee Jung Ha) gains media traction, placing both the young man and his family under intense scrutiny. Despite the allegations, Lee Gyeong Il's mother maintains her belief in her son's innocence. Kim Jong Hyeon's family conflict Elsewhere, Kim Jong Hyeon (Lee Sang Yi) begins to dig deeper into Lee Gyeong Il's case after being quietly encouraged by Go Man Shik. However, he soon discovers that his older brother, Kim Seok Hyeon, is the lead officer in charge of the investigation. What should be a step forward in finding the truth instead becomes a dead end. Kim Seok Hyeon swiftly closes the case and refuses to entertain any further questioning. The tension between the brothers escalates in a private phone call. Kim Seok Hyeon belittles Jong Hyeon's career path. He reminded him of his lifelong position in second place and suggested he give up the force to join their father's business. It's a bitter conversation that reopens old wounds and adds personal stakes to Jong Hyeon's involvement in the case. A sudden death and a cover-up? Tragedy strikes when Lee Gyeong Il is found dead in his prison cell. Official reports label the incident a suic*de, with an apology scribbled on the cell wall. But the timing and circumstances immediately raise suspicion, especially for Yoon Dong Ju, who becomes emotionally overwhelmed by the loss. Things take a darker turn when Min Joo Young is revealed to have ordered Correctional Officer Han to eliminate Lee Gyeong Il, fearing exposure. Han is soon reported missing, and viewers learn that Min Joo Young kept him captive before ultimately killing him for his failure and carelessness. Among Lee Gyeong Il's belongings, Yoon Dong Ju finds a golden watch, the same one he had seen on both Golden Bunny and Min Joo Young. This clue strengthens his belief that something far more sinister is at play. Rage, consequences, and new clues Haunted by grief and rage, Yoon Dong Ju loses his composure during a second confrontation at the customs office. Unable to control his emotions, he punches Min Joo Young in the face. Though Min Joo Young refrains from pressing legal charges, he reports the incident internally and mockingly gives Dong Ju a notebook to "reflect" in. The result: a three-month pay reduction for Dong Ju, and yet another blow to his morale. Meanwhile, the investigation into the golden watch deepens. Ji Han Na (Kim So Hyun) makes a shocking discovery. Her father once owned the same rare watch model, one of only twelve ever produced. Visiting a local pawn shop, she confirms that it is a high-end collector's piece. Hidden pasts and future danger In a revelation, the episode hints at a deeper backstory involving Ji Han Na's father. He was previously involved in a major case against the Russian mafia back in 2003. With this new information, the golden watch becomes more than just evidence; it becomes a symbol of buried secrets and unresolved pasts that are beginning to resurface. Meanwhile, Lee Gyeong Il's mother, reeling from the loss of her son, asks Yoon Dong Ju to stop visiting her. Though she doesn't blame him for what happened, she fears that his presence will only deepen her grief and resentment. Her words cut deep, leaving Dong Ju emotionally shattered.
