people have been saying this drama fell off later on, can someone like give me their opinions (without spoiling)…
It’s genuinely good. Not cringe, not overly dark, and the cast has great chemistry. If you enjoyed “Study Group”, you’ll definitely like this too. Please don’t let the comments turn you off—it’s either people fixating on Bogum because Kim So-hyun isn’t Hyeri, or others upset it’s not BL, or just folks who only want something super gritty with an ambiguous ending.
started well but became a train reck like 1/4th way in, I kept watching hoping it would get better but by the…
I believe you are being too harsh on Kim So Hyun. She has been in the industry for a long time and is very professional. I think she acts just fine. Even the actor who played the villain recognized her efforts. If you don’t like seeing her with Bogum, just say so. It's that simple—you can do it!
Honestly, if people liked Study Group, they’ll probably like Good Boy too. Not every show needs to be dark and tragic to be worth watching. I’m perfectly fine with a group of good people standing up to bad ones and actually getting a satisfying, non-depressing ending. People act like everything needs to be gritty or heartbreaking to be good. Study Group wasn’t super heavy either, and it still earned high scores. Good Boy gives off the same vibe—so why the pushback?
I knew people would be quite critical about this drama, and I could sense it. Nonetheless, I'm really glad things didn't become too dark. I genuinely believe that Park Bogum and Kim Sohyun have great chemistry—just watch their interactions during interviews, especially the one with Hyeri. I honestly thought Bogum had a crush on Sohyun; I really did.
Additionally, I had to buy a copy of "Sky, Wind, and Stars," which Dong-ju liked to carry around. I particularly enjoyed when he quoted the "Prologue."
"Sky, Wind, and Stars" is a beautiful read, filled with themes of hope, redemption, nostalgia, and conviction. I truly enjoyed it. Like my favorite, "Lawless Lawyer," I'm sure some people probably didn't appreciate the tone, thought there was a "lack of chemistry," or felt it wasn't dark enough. Please don't let the reviews or harsh critiques deter you from watching. Seriously. “Good Boy” is better than good, its GREAT!
