Good Boy – K-drama Episode 15 Recap & Review
On The Ropes Episode 15 of Good Boy begins with us back in the parking lot as Jong-gu squares off against Dong-ju. Unfortunately, our titular character is struggling and it doesn't take long for him to eat a stiff right hand, knocking him clean out. Jong-hyeon shows up to try and save Dong-ju but he's beside himself and rabid. Dong-ju is shocked when he realizes that he's fully blind, and urges Jong-hyeon to keep this a secret from Han-na for the time being. The pair head out together, where Dong-ju tries to downplay his issues and refuses to go to the hospital. If anyone is going to empathize and understand this Punch-drunk syndrome, it's Jong-hyeon and thankfully he knocks (figuratively, not literally!) some sense into him. Jong-hyeon tags along and helps Dong-ju out as he gets checked out. Several floors up, the Commissioner is taken out in an ambulance after being shot. Unfortunately, someone needs to step up and interrogate him, and that falls to Man-sik. This time though, Man-sik stands up for himself but he doesn't really get anywhere with the crooked official. Speaking of corrupt, Ju-yeong manages to get out of town and forces the Insung Mayor to do his bidding. He reminds the guy that he'll only get out of this alive if Ju-yeong does. If not? Well, his entire family are going to die. In his absence, Ju-yeong speaks to one of his Russian gangsters. They want to move quickly, securing the Candy for this deal because if it falls through, the Japanese are not going to be happy. This means he needs to get the gear back from Baek. Ju-yeong immediately tracks him down, and Baek is like a deer in headlights when he sees the boss. With the jig up, he decides to split the winnings fair and square, but instead he sends his men in and decides whoever lives will get the share, causing gunshots to erupt across the warehouse. In the morning, the team show up at the warehouse having heard reports about gunshots being fired. Jae-hong is concerned because somehow they've managed to get past at least seven different checkpoints to get there. Unfortunately, this means there's at least one more mole working for the police. Once again, the gang are forced to search for another police mole. However, they also realize that there's more to this than just money. Ju-yeong is unhinged, as we know, and it would appear that he's got dirt on individuals, forcing them into submission. Everybody on his payroll has made their money through overseas trade, including the chief prosecutor's father. Interestingly, all of these companies suddenly started growing faster right after involvement with Ju-yeong. When Ju-yeong worked at the Customs office, he started in the Intelligence Management Division. His job at the time was managing the integrated database, moving paper records across to the digital system, whilst then destroying the originals in the process. When Cheongil Shipping was investigated for fax tax invoices, the investigation started from a tip inside the customs office. Ju-yeong was the one who phoned it in. With similar documents for the other companies, he used these to blackmail people, used Leo to wipe out Oh Dollar, and then dismantled the other gangs before taking over, These documents are way more significant than the money, and Dong-ju decides they should trick Ju-yeong into falling into a trap, laid out for him meticulously by the group. They intend to use the informant from the investigations unit, and given they can't trust anybody right now – not even Dae-yong – they bug the radios and get to work listening in. This works a treat and they figure out who the mole is, including his burner phone. This officer is also the one who informed Ju-yeong at the Construction site what was going on, along with being responsible for Jong-hun's death. With the mole caught, the gang track down Ju-yeong, knowing that he's rattled. They find him in one of the tunnels. It's not the same tunnel they had a huge brawl in earlier in the season, but it's no less troublesome. In fact, our antagonist manages to hijack a car and take off. Having escaped capture (again), Ju-yeong rings the Mayor and tells him to burn all the documents. Han-na does her research and realizes that the documents are being held in the Yeonsang-gu Public Library. This was the first place he wanted built when he took office and it doesn't take long for the group to race over and find what they need. With the evidence in hand, the gang manage to capture the Mayor too, who's attempting to high-tail it away with a bag full of cash. It doesn't go to plan, as he's wheeled out into the middle of the entrance hallway and forced to answer to reporters. Deok-Gyu can only despair at what's taken place. Unfortunately, Dong-ju is not doing well and he's clearly struggling. Jong-hyeon does what he can to try and cover for him but Han-na is starting to cotton on that something isn't right. This is only compounded further when she receives a call from her mum, informing her about insurance documents. However, there's no time to waste as the team get a hit on Oh Jong-gu's whereabouts. Dong-ju is the one who tracks him down and with a steering wheel in hand (thanks to Man-sik handcuffing him to the car and Dong-ju breaking out), he fights with Mr Oh. This time, Dong-ju comes out on top and after knocking him out cold, Jong-gu is arrested. Han-na shows up not long after though, rattled over Dong-ju's condition and not being informed. With Ju-yeong's circle of influence growing ever-thinner,Ju-yeong shows up to see the Japanese gangsters and offers a whole truckful of Candy. But in exchange, he needs to do something for him. He's determined to cover his tracks, and some of this stems from him destroying the truck full of Candy. Yeon-ha helps give a tip-off about this, and the group head out to try and stop it before this happens. The gang manage to corner the truck but unfortunately, the explosion goes off just as they get there. The Episode Review Ju-yeong's empire is crumbling around him and Dong-ju is determined to see this one through to the very end. However, his blindness is obviously a big sticking point here and the fact that he's still not taking this seriously is more damaging and foolhardy to his character than endearing and brave. Now that we're onto the last week of episodes, I think it's fair to say Good Boy's story has been a bit middling and dragged out. A tighter 8 or 12 episode script would have done a lot of favours for this show because right now, we're spinning wheels and getting the same plotlines repeatedly constantly. If it's not a hunt for the money, it's a hunt for sordid documents. If it's not a hunt for the police mole it's… well, another hunt for a police mole. It's almost as if the writers know what story they want to tell but because they need to stretch it out to 16 episodes, plots are being recycled. However, the action is certainly keeping this one watchable. Some of the fight choreography is excellent and there are some genuinely impressive segments. When the show leans into that, it helps to paper over some of its issues, but with episodes like this one – which swing back in favour of police work and character growth – it really shows the extent of this drama's problems. Still, we've got one more episode left so we'll have to wait and see how this one finishes. Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!
