JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Good Boy' (played by Lee Dae-il, directed by Shim Na-yeon) is a comic action youth investigation drama in which former national team players who became police officers wear 'police ID cards' around their necks instead of 'medal' and fight against a world of unconscion and foul play. It depicts the process of those who face the cold reality after the moment of cheers and glory fighting once again under the name of Justice, and will convey pleasant laughter, exhilarating action, exciting melodrama, and heart-warming emotion. And Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Lee Sang-i, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok, united in 'Good Avengers', threw their whole body and whole heart in their own way and passed this fierce journey. As expectations are rising for how the living and breathing characters who have completed them will survive on the show, he/she remembered the "Everyone was hot on that day" and talked about the meaning of 'Good Boy'.
Park Bo-gum, who plays Yoon Dong-ju, a former boxing gold medalist, described 'Good Boy' as 'New Start and Challenge'. After challenging the full-fledged action genre for the first time, he immersed himself deeply in the character with all his might in each action scene. In addition, I enjoyed filming with the actors who were united in the movie 'Good Avengers'…"I had so much fun that I didn't know the time was passing.""I was truly happy to meet Good People through "Good Boy"." Thank you all," he said, expressing his affection for the relationship he had with him.
For Kim So-hyun, who plays Ji Han-na, a former gold medalist in shooting, 'Good Boy' is a work that allowed her to overcome her fears little by little and become one more brave. She approached the character through repeated training and posture correction to confront the unfamiliar challenge of gun action. "I always craved something new, but when I faced it, I was afraid, but through this work, I was able to overcome that feeling little by little."It was a time when I was able to strengthen myself through the character "Jihanna"," he said with a special meaning.
Lee Sang-i said "Good Boy" is a work that didn't require much thought, " As soon as I read the script "It occurred to me that '...' Turning into Kim Jong-hyun, a former national fencing team detective, he learned fencing for the first time in his life and challenged a cynical and warm personality he had never done before. Defining this work with the keyword "New Look and Expectation," he said. "I'm looking forward to seeing a really new Lee Sang's face," he said. As he said that it was a turning point for himself, curiosity is added to the moment of change captured by 'Good Boy'.
Heo Seong-tae said "'Good Boy' is a work that I worked with during the most difficult times of my life, and a scene that gave me the most strength." He played Ko Man-sik, a former national wrestling team leader who showed tough but humane leadership, and confessed his time of immersion in throwing everything away, saying, `It is not an exaggeration to say that I poured out all the action and comic acting that I could do.' I'm worried if I'll have any ad-libs in my acting life in the future because I've used up all the good boys" came out half-joking and half-truthful.
Tae Won-seok described 'Good Boy' as a work that makes him proud of the fact that he participated in it. Playing Shin Jae-hong, a former discus throw bronze medalist-turned-police officer who will show the power of his bare hands and shoulders, he was strongly attracted to the first script, and he said he felt great confidence in the world view built by writer Lee Dae-il, director Shim Na-yeon's directing ability, and the character Shin Jae-hong. So it was clear from the beginning that I wanted to be with this work" confessed to a fateful encounter.
Meanwhile, 'Good Boy' is a collaboration between director Shim Na-yeon, who directed 'Monster' and 'Bad Mother', who won the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards for Drama, and writer Lee Dae-il of the 'Life on Mars' and 'Aide' series. It will premiere on JTBC at 10:40 p.m. on Saturday the 31st and will be released worldwide on Amazon Prime Video.
