Seoul [South Korea], April 22 : The Korean drama 'Good Boy,' starring Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Lee Sang-yi, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok, is set to be released on OTT soon.
As per a press note, the K-drama tells "the story of former medal-winning athletes who become police officers and fight in a world full of criminals. Yun Dong-ju (Park Bo-gum), Ji Han-na (Kim So-hyun), Kim Jong-hyeon (Lee Sang-yi), Ko Man-sik (Heo Sung-tae) and Shin Jae-hong (Tae Won-seok) form a rag-tag team who seek to take down the forces behind a large crime group."
'Good Boy' will be streamed on Prime Video from May 31.
Fresh off the success of When Life Gives You Tangerines, Park Bo-gum "transforms into a different but still lovable character, Yun Dong-ju. Named after a noble Korean poet, Dong-ju lives a life contrary to the name given to him, always getting involved in fist fights during his school years. Through his experiences in fighting, Dong-ju learns proper boxing, beginning a successful career as a boxer and ultimately winning a gold medal. Unfortunately, Dong-ju's glorious moment is shattered by his unfair expulsion from his boxing team. A new beginning starts for Dong-ju when he is able to become a police officer through a special recruitment opportunity. However, his journey as a policeman doesn't turn out to be as smooth as his career as a boxer. Nevertheless, Dong-ju is absolutely smitten when he stumbles upon the beautiful Ji Han-na through work."
Kim So-hyun channels a medalist turned police officer, Ji Han-na. Since middle school, "Han-na was a shooting prodigy, dominating world championships with her precise aim and was adored by many fans. However, after gaining a bigger fan base, she also drew attention from less well-intentioned groups. Criticism poured in and misunderstandings piled up, causing Han-na to gradually shut herself off from the world. These difficulties led to her failing to concentrate at the most crucial moment in her shooting career. Eventually, a stress-induced condition and dizziness forced her to retire from her once-promising shooting career. She then applied for special police recruitment, with dreams of becoming a police officer like her father. Han-na is happy to finally be assigned to the special team, despite having the overly enamoured Dong-ju and her ex-boyfriend Jong-hyeon as teammates."
Lee Sang-yi portrays silver medalist Kim Jong-hyeon.
'Good Boy' is directed by Sim Na-yeon, who is known for hit series Beyond Evil and The Good Bad Mother. The series is written by Lee Dae-il, who wrote Life on Mars and Bring It On, Ghost.
