Cut to the next scene, jaws drop as a darker reality hits. We see Yoon Dong Joo restless in a broken-down car, parked in the middle of nowhere. It's heartbreaking to see certain characters, like Kim Jong Hyun, once a sword-wielding legend, now stuck in a desk-chair job, and Shin Jae Hong in a huge police mascot suit. The teaser further shows how these athletes from different sports arenas come together and form a bond after joining the rookie cop program, struggling to adapt to the transition. What forced them into it? Check out the storyline below.
But to bring excitement, thrill, and action into their mundane lives, a shady villainous figure from Inseong City appears, giving them a reason to use their skills once again. This mysterious enemy seems strong and dangerous. However, the five heroes, now known as the 'Goodvengers,' don't back down. The teaser ends with Park Bo Gum's voice saying, 'The round isn't over until we've taken down our opponent.'
When a different mission calls, will our athletes be able to find their true purpose?

Good Boy storyline
Directed by Shim Na Yeon and written by Lee Dae Il, Good Boy revolves around the life of Yoon Dong Joo, who, unlike his name, inspired by the famous poet, lives a life full of fights. Since his school years, he's always been involved in fistfights and later went on to choose boxing as his professional career, ultimately winning an Olympic medal for the country. However, his athletic career shatters into pieces due to an 'unfair expulsion' from the team, forcing him to join the rookie program. Kim So Hyun, who has mastered the art of shooting with her precise aim and dominates world championships, falls from grace after a misunderstanding sabotages her career. The show will also feature a romance storyline between Park Bo Gum and Kim So Hyun's characters. Good Boy also features a secondary storyline of a former Olympic silver medalist fencer who deliberately joins the police force to reunite with his former girlfriend. The skills of former Olympic bronze medalist wrestler Ko Man Sik land him in another leadership role in the cops world and so on. Good Boy is set to premiere on May 31 at 10:40 p.m. KST. For global audience, the series will launch on Prime Video on May 31,
