Park Bo-gum Takes Center Stage in ‘Good Boy’ Drama Premiere
Park Bo-gum (박보검) is making waves in JTBC’s new drama, Good Boy (굿보이). The series kicked off with a bang, topping the TV-OTT drama buzz rankings from Good Data Corporation’s FUNdex for the week of May 5th. Bo-gum has snagged the No.1 spot in the drama cast buzz, while co-star Kim So-hyun (김소현) isn’t far behind at No.5.
Viewers are stunned by Bo-gum’s transformation into Yoon Dong-joo, a character brimming with justice and unpredictability. From his fierce outbursts to charming puppy-like moments, fans are asking, "Is this really Park Bo-gum?"
In just two episodes, Yoon Dong-joo has taken matters into his own hands, confronting gangsters and hitting back at injustice. One memorable scene features him tracking down a hit-and-run criminal, showcasing his fiery sense of justice and unyielding determination.
“I’ll show them who Yoon Dong-joo really is,” he declares as he steps up to protect a boxing junior caught in a tragic incident. His emotional intensity is palatable when he’s face-to-face with the hidden villain, Min Joo-young (Oh Jung-se), blending duty with thrilling anger.
Park Bo-gum’s dual nature—fierce yet tender—has captivated audiences. His character’s name is a nod to the real-life poet who emphasizes living without shame. From confronting corrupt officers to delivering poignant lines, Dong-joo’s journey resonates with fans.
“What Park Bo-gum is doing as Yoon Dong-joo is not just a performance, it’s a full-bodied expression of conviction and depth.” The production team promises viewers will discover new sides of Bo-gum with every episode.
Good Boy airs every Saturday at 10:40 PM and Sunday at 10:30 PM KST on JTBC, with global availability on Amazon Prime Video.
