According to the topical ranking of TV-OTT integrated dramas for the second week of June released by Fundex of Good Data Corporation, a K-content competitiveness analysis agency, JTBC's Saturday-Sunday Drama 'Good Boy' (directed by Shim Na-yeon, script by Lee Dae-il, production SLL, Studio & New, and Drama House Studio) showed off their unrivaled presence by maintaining their unwavering topicality for three consecutive weeks. In the cast category, Park Bo-gum also topped the list for three consecutive weeks, and the sixth episode, which aired on the 16th, broke its own highest ratings, further strengthening the upward trend.
There are three axes at the center of 'Good Boy's unchilling buzz. First, it is a pleasant teamwork of a strong special team made up of national medalists. While Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Lee Sang-i, Heo Sung-tae and Tae Won-seok are former police officers from boxing, shooting, fencing, wrestling, and discus throwing, the unique action of incorporating the characteristics of the event into the investigation provides a thrilling sense of hitting and fresh fun as if watching a game. On top of that, Tiki-taka breathing between those who show various relationships centered on Yoon Dong-ju, such as first love, rival, accident handling, and strong brother, is loved by viewers, conveying both laughter and emotion.
In addition, Park Bo-gum, who plays Yoon Dong-ju, takes out Cheon's face in every episode, drawing viewers' admiration. From the bulldozer moment where the sound of the "crazy man in justice" comes out, to the bright straight romance like the "puppy dog" and the wounds and anger hidden behind it, it is evaluated that it completes the three-dimensional effect of the character by freely moving around the wide and deep spectrum. The evolution of Park Bo-gum, who digests from the action run that does not spare his body to the emotional line between laughter and tears and excitement, is shining again through 'Good Boy'.
Another hot topic centerpiece is Min Ju-young, played by Oh Jung-se. He commits evil with his unique expressionless expression and cool tone, gradually revealing the bare face of evil, which is ordinary on the outside but twisted inside. The strong special team, which found out the connection between Mayor Noh Deok-gyu (Seongjiru) and Min Ju-young through the TAE Corporation, which smuggled drug materials, thought that Inseong Mayor had looked after Min Ju-young, a customs official. However, Min Ju-young, who later showed violence by hitting Noh Deok-gyu's head with a market plaque, shocked him by implying that he was above the market. Oh Jung-se's performance, which bursts the cold face of evil, is responsible for the cool tension of 'Good Boy' and provides an overwhelming sense of immersion.
'Good Boy', which has been receiving hot attention for three consecutive weeks. With Min Ju-young hit by his powerful counter punch as soon as he thought he drove Min Ju-young to the corner at the end of the sixth inning, expectations are rising for the future development of the strong special team. JTBC's Saturday-Sunday Drama 'Good Boy' airs every Saturday at 10:40 p.m. and Sunday at 10:30 p.m. and is released to viewers around the world through Amazon Prime Video.
