In the fourth episode, which aired on the 8th, the hidden trauma of each character and the cartel of evil began in earnest, raising viewers' expectations.
JTBC's Saturday-Sunday Drama "Good Boy" (directed by Shim Na-yeon, scripted by Lee Dae-il, produced by SLL, Studio & New, and Drama House Studio) broke its own highest ratings in the fourth episode, which aired on the 8th, with 5.8% of viewers in the Seoul metropolitan area and up to 6.6% (Nilson Korea, based on paid households). As the five members of the "Good Avengers" formed a strong special team, their hidden trauma and weaknesses began to be revealed, and the scale of the incident grew even bigger as a huge cartel of evil surrounding Min Ju-young (Oh Jung-se) surfaced.
First, the hidden Achilles heel of the team 'Good Avengers' caught the attention of viewers. Yoon Dong-ju (Park Bo-gum) gave up his position of glory due to rumors of doping and started anew as a special police officer, but the symptoms of punch-drunk he experienced as a player are holding back at every decisive moment. On top of that, Dong-ju's anger, who even carried the guilt related to the junior Lee Kyung-il (Lee Jung-ha) case, reached its peak. Ji Han-na (Kim So-hyun) was a shooting genius, but her past hurt by her mother's obsession was revealed, and Meniere symptoms were revealed. Kim Jong-hyun (Lee Sang-i) is portrayed as a character who hides his shaking inner side while living with the injury of the finals and inferiority complex to his brother. Expectations are rising as to what variables their hidden trauma will serve as in future investigations.
The true nature of the evil cartel was also slowly revealed. A gold watch found in Lee Kyung-il's keepsake turned out to be a clue linked to Min Ju-young, and the same watch appeared in Ji Han-na's father's death in the past, adding to the shock. In particular, in 2003, a series of watches released by smuggler Oh Bong-chan (Song Young-chang) in Inseong City were discovered at the scene of the incident, signaling the existence of a huge connection between the past and the present. In addition, the corruption of Min Ju-young was revealed in connection with the death of Lee Jin-soo (Lee Han-sol), an employee of the Korea Customs Service, and the possibility of his plate leading to drugs and illegal weapons was raised. Attention is focusing on how far the strong special teams can dig into this complex cartel.
Meanwhile, JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Good Boy' airs every Saturday at 10:40 p.m. and Sunday at 10:30 p.m.
