Park Bo-gum challenged the full-fledged youth action genre for the first time since his debut through JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Good Boy' (played by Lee Dae-il, directed by Shim Na-yeon). He plays Yoon Dong-joo, a former boxing gold medalist and a strong special team constable, and portrays the podium of youth that hits and shakes every moment with his whole body. The actor himself has an action scene every time from the hot summer to the cold winter. I'm looking forward to all the scenes I made with the best staff, from cool directing, dynamic shooting, and sensory lighting. "Expectations are high for the hurtful and distorted hero narrative that the new-faced Park Bo-gum will present.
Park Bo-gum, in the released image, gazes at the front with a face left with clear bruises and blood stains, or breathes deeply. The tight mouth, focused eyes, and tension all over his body show his own way of life, in which a character named Yoon Dong-ju moves his body first and collides with the world. Yoon Dong-ju was a national team member who won the gold medal, but now he is a police officer and is on the front lines of crime. Behind him, he is filled with a tendency not to give up easily, an attitude not to shy away from responsibility, and a determination to accept what someone must do as his share.
Taking on a new challenge, Park Bo-gum will show her performance with persuasion in both words and actions. The degree of immersion, which does not disturb the center of emotion even in the traces of sweat, bruises, and blood, is evident in one still and one cut. It is a distinctly different result from the pure genius Go knight of the `Reply 1988', the intelligent and beautiful crown prince of the `Lovely Moonlight', and the friendly arm-twisting cast iron of `I was completely deceived.' Park Bo-gum, who defines the character Yun Dong-ju as a single word "Bulldozer", does not even allow him to run away with a burning sense of justice, and he punishes low-level injustice", he explained. It is expected that he will not just stay in a sense of justice, but will prove it with his whole body.
Therefore, the nickname representing Park Bo-gum, 'Bo-gum Welfare Department', is also expected to wear new clothes. Park Bo-gum's boiling passion and exhilarating head-on breakthrough, which are overwhelming just by looking at the image, give a foreboding impression of a cool carbonated water shower ahead of June when the heat will begin. The production team also made Yoon Dong-ju live and breathe by mobilizing all elements, including sweat, wounds, eyes, and breath. In every scene, he was confident that he would be able to feel the new welfare he offered.
Meanwhile, JTBC 'Good Boy' is a comic action youth investigation drama in which medalists who have become police officers wear police identification cards around their necks instead of medals and fight against a world of unconscionable and foul play. Director Shim Na-yeon, who won the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards TV Drama Prize, and Lee Dae-il, the writer of the series "Life on Mars" and "Aide" who were recognized for both cinematic quality and buzz, joined forces to add completeness. It will premiere at 10:40 p.m. on Saturday, the 31st, and will be released to viewers around the world through the global streaming service Amazon Prime Video.
