The casting of Park Bo Gum and Kim So Hyun for JTBC’s upcoming drama “Good Boy” (literal title) was officially announced on January 11.
The story of a group of gold medalists who become special police officers despite facing financial difficulties, limited career spans, injuries, and other obstacles is chronicled in the action-packed comedy-drama “Good Boy.” As a team, they become the “Olympic Avengers” and battle violent crime with the special abilities they developed as athletes.
“Good Boy” will be directed by Shim Na Yeon of “Beyond Evil” and “The Good Bad Mother,” and written by Lee Dae Il of “Chief of Staff” and “Life on Mars.”
Yoon Dong Joo, a former boxer who won an Olympic gold medal, is portrayed by Park Bo Gum in the film as a police officer for a particular Violent Crime Unit. Yoon Dong Joo is employed specifically for particular duties related to Olympic sportsmen. Yoon Dong Joo, who was born with a fighting gift, goes on to become an Olympic hero. However, following a period of sadness, he rebuilds his life as a police officer and rekindles his fighting spirit in the face of injustice.
Kim So Hyun will portray Ji Han Na, a gold medallist in shooting in the Olympics who won a lot of admiration from the public for her stunning appearance and reputation as a “shooting goddess.” But after a shocking global incident, she gives up shooting and starts acting like a police officer. When it comes to love and work, she is refreshingly honest and direct, despite her seemingly cool demeanor.
“‘Good Boy’ is a refreshing story about Olympic heroes who leave the [playing] grounds with regulations and rules to fight against violent crimes that are rife with unethical behavior and foul play,” the “Good Boy” production team revealed. Enjoy the chemistry between Park Bo Gum and Kim So Hyun as they authentically depict the tale of warriors who battle against violence, each with a unique backstory.
The first episode of “Good Boy” is scheduled for the second half of 2024. Watch this space for additional developments!
