Park Bo-gum Transforms into Clumsy Ex-Boxer in ‘Good Boy’

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 medalists who became police officers wear police identification cards around their necks instead of medals and fight against a world of unconscionability and foul play.
The still cut released by 'Good Boy' today (19th) contains the past and present of Yoon Dong-ju (Park Bo-gum), who was demoted from a national boxer to a police officer who was a troublemaker. Whether Yun Dong-ju, whose peak of his life with the gold medal around his neck, will be able to jump back to the real 'Good Boy' of a strong special team that takes the lead in injustice is the biggest point of this work.
There was a time when Yun Dong-ju's meaningful name was called to the people with cheers, as his mother's will said, "'Live as unashamed as your name.'" If you look at his past image, you can enjoy the joy of victory by climbing on the ring with the Korean national flag on your chest, hanging a flower necklace and being celebrated proudly in front of the reporters. Yun Dong-ju was the gold medalist in boxing.
Currently, however, Yun Dong-ju is called 'Dungju' by the National Police Agency. I don't even know if the name had a glorious meaning. It was because it was a series of accidents from the beginning, contrary to the expectations of colleagues that strong punches, rough fighting skills, and an animal sense of election would help after becoming a police officer with a specialty. The bruising marks, which had no days to be erased from the face, also came to symbolize 'accident criminal Yoon Dong-ju'. Unlike in the past, this is why Yun Dong-ju in the current image looks clumsy. He was repeatedly excluded from the operation, and was disciplined and demoted.
Yoon Dong-ju will meet a strong special team of former medalists and punish injustice and open the second act of his life. As Park Bo-gum, who played him, explains, "Even if you look like a simple bulldozer who only believes in your fist and pushes, there is a hot justice in your heart, and "Impossible is nothing" is the true value of Yoon Dong-ju."
With hopes high for Yun Dong-ju's life-changing twist that will once again give him a delightful shot at winning gold in the real ring, the production team says, `There is a painful story behind his inability to properly punch after becoming a police officer and only getting into an accident" even stimulates curiosity about throwing rice cakes. Then "Please look forward to the graph of Yun Dong-ju's life that Park Bo-gum, who changed his face, will draw with gold smoke." You'll forget the heat with a thrilling and refreshing twist"I was confident.
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, May 31, and will be released worldwide on Amazon Prime Video.
