Good Boy

A Good Drama That I Couldnt Finish

Overall, it was a good drama. Nice idea and great execution. If you ask me why I dropped it, I honestly don’t have a real reason. I just couldn’t bring myself to keep watching, I guess.

The thing is, I really didn’t like So Hyun’s character in this. I couldn’t stand her, and that made everything harder for me. The protagonist didn’t really win me over either, I liked him, but I just didn’t care that much. The villain, on the other hand, was incredible, and the rest of the team was great too.

As someone who values strong and likable characters, I think that’s ultimately why I dropped it.

I’ve seen some clips on TikTok, and honestly, the only thing I regret is not getting to see the friendship between the male leads develop and also Drugmom, because I think I would’ve adored her.

You must watch this masterpiece !!

I started this drama when only the 2 first episodes were released. I was looking for a comedy drama with action and a romance. I laugh a lot and the cast was the reason I started tbh with park bo geum and lee sang-yi (yeahhh I’m guilty 🫦) . But the action is incredible, the fighting scenes are so good and waiting for the next episode every weeks was so hard because of the differents plots twists. The story is original and you are always excited because everything can happen even the impossible!
If you love action, romance and good looking actors, watch it you won’t regret it .

GOODBYE, GOOD BOY! ⭐

eu não acredito que acabouuu 🥺 com toda certeza esse dorama entrou para os favoritos, é tão bom que todos os personagens são legais e cativantes, até mesmo os "vilões". e eles são tão found family coded, a amizade do dongju e jonghyeon é muito bonitinha, o jeito que eles ficam de implicância mas se importam muito um com o outro. e o romance simplesmente impecável!! a química absurda!! sem contar que as cenas de luta e ação foram muito bem trabalhadas e elaboradas, isso foi uma coisa que me cativou desde o primeiro episódio, juntamente com a comédia, juro que nunca ri tanto assistindo um kdrama como foi com goodboy, também não posso deixar de falar da trilha sonora que é insana de boa. enfim, simplesmente perfeito, amei demaaaaaaissssss!!

My First Ongoing Series

I never expected would watch series when it was still aired. But, they always ended the episode by making viewers felt curious. Good boy is not action thriller genre drama so will not be appropriate with someone who wants to see plot twist everywhere. I fall for each characters and their relationship. Sometimes they give warm, funny, sweet, strong feeling to their story. The dynamic between our main characters and villains also enjoyable to watch. The battle progressively becomes intense. There will be always counterattacks from each side in every round. This drama about how they survive in every attack and keep getting back up after so many failure. They steadily develop the story from bottom to uplift. So there is no instant win here. And all the actors give their best. But, I can’t say Good boy was perfect one, there are also some flaws that can be tolerated. And the romance, I want to see Hanna Dongju story more than what Good Boy has already served. The couple has its own charm. They always be there by giving support, protection and understanding one another. Sometime they also fight together or for each other. Also they are really bold about their feeling since beginning.

Brotherhood, Brains, and Bullets – Good Boy Delivers All

One word for Good Boy: tight. It’s a tightly executed, action-packed drama with a great storyline that grips you more and more with each episode. After finishing all 16 episodes, I can confidently say this is one of the best action dramas I’ve seen in a long time. While on the surface it may seem like a classic cat-and-mouse game, what makes it stand out is the emotional depth and unique chemistry between characters that you rarely see in typical action dramas.

Park Bo Gum as Yun Dong Ju is simply phenomenal. I’ve always admired his work in dramas like Reply 1988 (my personal GOAT), When the Camellia Blooms, and Encounter, but Good Boy brings out a completely new side of him. He transforms into an action hero with such grace and intensity. What’s even more impressive is how grounded and humble his character remains—no ego, just strength with purpose and heart. His never-give-up attitude and emotional vulnerability are portrayed beautifully.

Kim So Hyun plays the only female lead, and honestly, I felt her character could have been more impactful. I’m not saying she did a bad job, but considering the screen time and potential, I expected more from her performance. She had space to explore her character further, and I wish the writers gave her more edge.

Lee Sang Yi once again proves he is the king of bromance. From Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha to My Demon, and now Good Boy, he brings so much charm and balance to his roles. He’s funny, dependable, and his chemistry with the rest of the cast is top-notch.

Heo Sung Tae and Tae Won Seok also deserve mention. Both had substantial screen time and made the most of it, especially Ko Man Sik, who stood out more for me than Sin Jae Hong. Sin Jae Hong didn’t get as many impactful scenes compared to the others, but still delivered well within his space.

The absolute scene-stealer here is Oh Jung Se as Min Ju Yeong. What a brilliant actor. I’ve been a fan of his since It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, and I thought that was his best, but this role proved he has even more depth. His portrayal of a lonely, broken yet sharp villain is so layered. You’ll find yourself understanding him and even feeling sympathy at times. His dynamic with Dong Ju is fascinating—two lonely souls mirroring each other in different ways. Their interactions are intense yet oddly touching.

The drama starts off in a way that might make you question the 16-episode length, especially since there’s only one main villain and a large lead unit. But the more you watch, the more it becomes clear—this isn't a simple hero-vs-villain story. Min Ju Yeong isn’t just a villain; he’s the heart of the narrative, and the way his relationship with Dong Ju evolves is something you rarely see in K-dramas.

There’s a bit of romance too, and while there are some nice kiss scenes, the spark between the male and female leads isn’t very strong. It’s not a dealbreaker though, because the focus lies elsewhere—on bromance, camaraderie, and the mental games between hero and villain. The comic timing among the main unit is also surprisingly good, giving a light touch to an otherwise intense drama.

The writing is clever, the pacing keeps you engaged, and it never feels like the action is just there for the sake of it. Every punch, every plan, every betrayal has meaning and weight.

Overall, Good Boy isn’t just an action drama. It’s a smartly written, emotionally rich story with standout performances, especially from Park Bo Gum and Oh Jung Se. If you’re a fan of well-made action dramas with real story and character development—not just mindless fights—this is a must-watch.

Till episode 6, Good Boy is lowkey addictive. It starts with a bang—literally. A national-level boxer (Ji-hyuk) loses everything after a tragic event at the Olympics, and suddenly he’s part of this elite “Olympic Guard” team—basically a secret unit made up of medalists who now fight crime. Sounds wild, but it works.

Each episode builds the tension: the team handles shady VIP cases, Ji-hyuk struggles with trauma and guilt, and there’s a solid bromance slowly forming within the team. You get glimpses of corruption, hidden agendas, and how broken the system is behind all the medals and fame. By ep 6, the stakes feel personal—there’s a sense that someone from the inside is pulling strings, and the team’s loyalty is being tested. It’s action-heavy but with just enough emotion to keep it grounded. And honestly, the slow burn tension? Chef’s kiss.

It’s not just about fighting—it’s about broken people trying to find purpose again.

Oh my Park Bogum

[I will note where spoilers start] As a long time Park Bogum fan, I was surprised that he had another main role so soon after When Life Gives You Tangerines, not to mention a role so different. I'm always a fan of a crime drama, and this one was no different - the action scenes were great, and while the story had some moments that were a bit too predictable, it was still super enjoyable. It may have had fewer surprising twists in the story than other crime shows, but the tense game of cat and mouse that the cops and villain were playing was so fun to watch! The romance was a huge plus, especially since it didn't ever take away from the main story (and the love triangle was actually done perfectly).

Yoon Dong-ju (Park Bogum) is a gold medalist boxer, who, after retiring, joined the special investigations unit of the police force along with other former athletes. However, they tend to get used more as public figures than crime fighters. When these group of former athletes start investigate a suspicious hit and run case, it leads them down a rabbit hole of crimes much, much worse.

**Spoilers start here**

I really enjoyed the way this drama built up from a seemingly simple hit and run case to a narcotic ring with international involvement. I thought that the villain's actor did an incredible job portraying him, and was super invested in the cat and mouse game between him and the special investigations unit. As I said, this show did have fewer dramatic twists than a lot of crime shows, but it still managed to keep the tension high throughout the show.

I also loved that we got plot and backstory from every main character. Learning bits and pieces about their time as athletes, why they had to leave, and where they're at now was super fun. I especially loved the relationship between Dongju and Jonghyun, and watching it go from rivals to friends over the course of the show. Of course, the romance between Dongju and Hanna was also wonderful, and super well paced for this kind of show.

Lastly, Dongju's plot really just hit the mark for me. The family problems, the issues with his best friend, and the medical issues he faces later on all worked so well for his character - even after going through hell, he'd come out with a smile on his face. A lot of people seem to be saying that they thought the plot dulled as the show went on, but I didn't find that to be true. If you like crime/cop dramas, I definitely think this one is worth watching!
