Literally ‘good boy’.Actor Park Bo-gum is foreshadowing the character of his life following ‘The Three Musketeers’.Park Bo-gum, who will erase Yang Gwan-sik and use the new name Yun Dong-ju, raises expectations for a new look and a new face.Will Park Bo-gum’s challenge of returning as a ‘man’ be able to stimulate the hearts of viewers?
On this day, Park Bo-gum said about the reason he chose ‘Good Boy’, “When I read the script, the plot was fun, like reading a comic book.Above all, the police officer’s specialty was exercise, so he seemed dependable, and I thought it was cool to see him speak out to the world, so I chose this work.”
Kim So-hyun then said, “First of all, the director, writer, and actor Park Bo-gum said they would participate, so I said I would do it unconditionally.It’s been a long time since I felt such great energy from the script.I chose it because I thought I could film while drawing new energy.”
Park Bo-gum explained about the new side of himself he will show in this drama, “For me, the ‘Good Boy’ genre itself was a new challenge.The new face is a new beginning with action, comedy, and investigative dramas, so I think it will be seen as a new side.Since each of us learned a new sport and transformed into a new character and action that we haven’t shown in other dramas, I think it was a new beginning and a challenge for all the actors.”
Oh Jung-se, who took on the role of a villain in this ‘Good Boy’, said,” ‘Good Boy’ was a work with a strong charm.It’s exciting and the action is spectacular, but each character has a sad feeling, so I want to cheer them on.I think I worried the most because my character needed to be stimulating.I talked to the director about how far I could express it dramatically and how I could stimulate them more, “drawing attention.
Park Bo-gum, who was injured while filming this piece.Regarding this, Park Bo-gum said,” It was the first genre I challenged after being discharged from the military, and it was an action scene I wanted to try at least once.I was able to play Yun Dong-ju this time, so although it was physically difficult, I didn’t feel tired even for a moment mentally.I wanted to do better, and I wanted to do better.I wanted to hear the coaches say that I looked like a real athlete.”
While saying this, he said, “I got a little injured in the middle because I got greedy, and filming was delayed, but even so, the director and the staff encouraged me not to worry and to take care of myself so that I could recover faster.Thanks to that, Yoon Dong-ju, who has great recovery skills in the drama, completely recovered his physical strength in just a month and a half.I feel most sorry and grateful to all the staff.That’s why I think this work will be remembered in my heart for a long time.”
The relationship between boxing gold medalist police officer Yun Dong-ju(played by Park Bo-gum)and shooting gold medalist police officer Ji Han-na(played by Kim So-hyun)was introduced in a previously released teaser video with a single line, “Yun Dong-ju’s first love and last love.”
Kim So-hyun said about reuniting with Park Bo-gum, whom she had worked with as MC for KBS Drama Awards in 2015, through “Good Boy,” “10 years ago when we were MCs together, he took such good care of me and it was great.I know he looked forward to meeting me in a drama because he enjoyed watching my serious scenes.I’ve always wanted to work with him on a drama, and I’m glad we got to meet in a relationship that developed a little from that serious acting.” She continued, “He was so kind and silly, but also had a bulldozer-like energy.I’m looking forward to his character in this drama, and I had high expectations for seeing that side of him.”
Park Bo-gum continued, “I was so happy to be able to work with her after 10 years.After that, we met once at another awards ceremony.I remember her knocking on the door, saying that she had a story she wanted to tell together, and that she readily read it and said she wanted to work with me.We were able to meet through ‘Good Boy,’ and she fits well with the character of Han Na.I hope this drama will be one where So-hyun’s charms can be completely absorbed.”
In particular, Park Bo-gum emphasized the new side of himself he will show in “Good Boy”, saying, “After completing my military service, my age has changed to my 30s, so I want to express that I have become more bold than before.I have a strong desire to do everything I want to do while I can.Now, I want to pick up the pace, if not running, then maybe walking? I wanted to expand my limits or areas I have not been able to show, little by little, with roles and genres I have not tried before.I think the power of” Good Boy “is the praise of people who live for the good.I hope it will be remembered as a drama that is fun, cheerful, and refreshing to watch.”
Finally, Park Bo-gum said about the point of watching ‘Good Boy’, “New challenges are the driving force in living life.I have taken on many challenges after meeting this work.If the viewers feel tired from taking on new challenges, I hope that ‘Good Boy’ will rekindle their hearts.I think ‘Good Boy’ is a work that can provide ‘good direction’” and asked viewers to watch it.
