JTBC’s upcoming drama “Good Boy” has unveiled its star-studded cast!
On July 31, “Good Boy” announced that in addition to Park Bo Gum and Kim So Hyun, actors Oh Jung Se, Lee Sang Yi, Heo Sung Tae, and Tae Won Suk will be starring in the upcoming drama.
“Good Boy” is an action-packed comic drama that follows the journey of a group of Olympic medalists who, faced with financial struggles, short career spans, injuries, and other challenges, become special police officers. Together, they form the “Olympics Avengers” and use their unique skills acquired during their time as athletes to fight violent crime.
Park Bo Gum will be starring as the role of Yoon Dong Joo, a former Olympic gold medalist boxer who becomes a police officer for the Special Violent Crime Unit through special employment for Olympic athletes. Born with a talent for fighting, Yoon Dong Joo becomes an Olympic hero, but after experiencing despair, he starts his life anew as a police officer, rediscovering his instincts as a fighter while facing injustice.
Kim So Hyun will be playing Ji Han Na, an Olympic gold medalist in shooting who received great love from the general public as a “shooting goddess” with her beautiful looks. However, as misunderstandings about her grew, she suddenly retired and achieved her dream of becoming a police officer just like her father. Now her gun is aimed not at targets but at the ruthless villains.
Oh Jung Se will play Min Joo Young, a customs official who even received a commendation for his diligent work. Although he wears the mask of a diligent civil servant, he is actually hiding his true nature. Despite wearing a friendly smile during the day, hiding his greed, Min Joo Young unleashes his evil on the city at night.
Lee Sang Yi will transform into Kim Jong Hyun, an Olympic silver medalist in fencing who retired after an injury and became a Special Violent Crime Unit sergeant. Although he believed he wouldn’t be able to hold a sword again, he will be able to showcase his exceptional swordsmanship skills after joining the Special Violent Crime Unit. As an intelligent athlete, Kim Jong Hyun is quick to understand his opponent’s weakness and attack.
Heo Sung Tae will take on the role of Go Man Sik, an Olympic bronze medalist in wrestling and the team leader of the Special Violent Crime Unit. Although Go Man Sik lacked strength and skills compared to others during his time as a professional athlete, he continued to climb up, excelling at enduring rather than knocking opponents down. This skill has greatly helped his work as a police officer. With a nonchalant face, he masters lying, strategizing to win without using tricks or physical strength, and he has a keen radar for sensing danger.
Tae Won Suk will be playing the role of Shin Jae Hong, an Olympic bronze medalist in discus throw and a member of the Special Violent Crime Unit. Although Shin Jae Hong won Korea’s first bronze medal in discus throw, he applied for special employment as he needed to prioritize making a living. In contrast to his intimidating appearance, he has a warm and gentle heart as the head of a household with a wife and two sons. He joins the Special Violent Crime Unit in order to gain more points toward his promotion for the sake of his family.
“Good Boy” is slated to premiere in the second half of 2024. Stay tuned for more updates!
