Good Boy Park Bo-gum fights bad boy Oh Jung-se

JTBC’s comedy-action Good Boy has come swinging in with new promos, showcasing our ragtag ensemble cast – led by Park Bo-gum (When Life Gives You Tangerines) – in stills from the first script reading as well as the first official teaser.
Although the boxer-turned-cop Yoon Dong-joo (Park Bo-gum) is our title character, he isn’t our story’s only good boy – or person, I should say. Nor is he the only one to embark on a new career path as a former athlete with a shiny medal to their name. The trailer thus introduces us to a special police unit, assembling a quintet of various medalists, including, gold shooter Kim So-hyun (Serendipity’s Embrace), silver fencer Lee Sang-yi (Spice Up Our Love), bronze wrestler Heo Sung-tae (Player 2 – Master of Swindlers), and bronze discus thrower Tae Won-seok (Player 2 – Master of Swindlers).
We then read in the captions, that the five were all once legendary heroes in their respective sports fields. However, life has since taken a humbler turn and we’ll soon be following the melo, comedy, and action hijinks in their new day-to-day as police. Blink and you’ll miss the slippery Oh Jung-se (When Life Gives You Tangerines), the resident bad boy villain of this tale who our good team have to catch. Rest assured, a confident Dong-joo is determined to win, declaring that the round isn’t over until the opponent falls.
In supportive roles, the series also stars head of police Seo Hyun-chul (Villains Everywhere) and former boxing coach Jung Man-shik (Gangnam B-Side), in addition to pawnshop owner and police informant Park Chul-min (Romance in the House). We also have noodle restaurateur Seo Jung-yeon (Good Partner) and insurance sales rep Seo Jae-hee (The Kidnapping Day) who is also Hanna’s mom.
Directed by PD Shim Na-yeon (The Good Bad Mother, Beyond Evil) with scripts penned by Lee Dae-il (Chief of Staff, Life on Mars), JTBC’s Good Boy is slated to premiere on May 31, following Heavenly Ever After in the weekend slot.
