Ji Han-na (Kim So-hyun) is a character who moves her head cool and her heart hot in JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Good Boy' (played by Lee Dae-il, directed by Shim Na-yeon). As an outspoken shooting genius, he has a superior ability than anyone else, but he has been consistent with an infinitely determined and rational attitude when it comes to expressing emotions. However, in front of Yoon Dong-ju (Park Bo-gum), a hot heart is oozing in her cold tone, and her 'Tsundere' romance gives viewers a strange resonance and excitement.
Ji Han-na firmly drew the line, saying, `I will never like it,' in response to Yoon Dong-ju's straightforward confession from his days as a player to the present. But there was a strange warmth in the action. At an athlete's night event hosted by Oh Jong-gu (Jung Man-sik), Yoon Dong-ju's boxing coach, Yoon suffered a great blow to his pride and vented his anger when his hard-won gold medal was disparaged with his skills and efforts. Watching him, Ji Han-na gave a cold blow, saying, "I look like a fool," but on the other hand, she cheered "Show me what kind of person you are." Yun Dong-ju immediately turned the anger into a driving force for a head-on breakthrough.
Ji Han-na also saw Yun Dong-ju's heart shaking after the death of boxing junior Lee Kyung-il (Lee Jung-ha). So, he returned the gold medal he entrusted to the pawnshop and held the center once again. "Cold in the head, hot in the chest. Don't you think a boxer knows that?"'Don't use your emotions for nothing, aim at the target, catch him, and give him the exact target and direction.'" The tone was blunt, but it contained more sincere comfort than anyone else. And the moment when anger flared up again in front of Min Ju-young (Oh Jung-se), the advice passed through Yoon Dong-ju's head. In the past, he would have put his fist in his face first, but he managed to hold on to the reason, and borrowed a phrase from poet Yun Dong-ju's 'Seosi' to confront Min Ju-young, shouting for justice.
In fact, Ji Han-na's support has continued since her days as a player in the past. Looking at the stickers of Hoppang, who swept all kinds of competitions at the time, she was the main model and won the selection match with a gold medal sticker, and Ji Han-na responded bluntly to Yoon Dong-ju, who said, `I believe in such things, so I don't know what to do.' However, for Yoon Dong-ju, who was frustrated in the selection match for Sao Paulo, he eventually put an hoppang sticker on the ball himself. It was her own way of cheering for the last start. Even now, the sticker is attached to the back of Yun Dong-ju's cell phone.
The mouth pushes away endlessly, but the truth that cannot be hidden was the way she treated Yun Dong-ju. Ji Han-na's heart slowly changed, too. On a hot day, when Yun Dong-ju showed friendly consideration to cover the sun, he felt a strange palpitation, and eventually pulled his tie to himself, saying, `I'm crazy.' Contrary to her firm determination that she would never like it, questions are rising about how the romance front between the two will flow to Ji Han-na's confident expression of emotions.
