Park Bo-gum continues his upward trend.

Following the syndrome-level popularity of the Netflix drama ‘I Was Fooled’, he has signaled another intense transformation in his next work.

The JTBC drama ‘Good Boy’, which will premiere on May 31st, is Park Bo-gum‘s new leading role. It is a comic action investigative drama about medalists who become police officers through special recruitment and fight against a world full of unscrupulousness by wearing their police ID cards instead of their medals.

In the drama, Park Bo-gum plays the role of former boxing champion Yoon Dong-ju and transforms into a ‘manly man.’ Yoon Dong-ju is a special forces officer who became a police officer through the medalist special recruitment system that was revived after 11 years. He starts his second life as a police officer after winning a gold medal in boxing with his natural toughness and fists, but the reality of unscrupulousness and foul play awakens his dormant ‘fighter instinct’.

The first filming began last year and was scheduled to air at the end of last year, but filming was halted for a month due to Park Bo-gum’s leg injury, and the first broadcast schedule was also postponed.

Park Bo-gum is expected to show off intense action scenes in this drama, to the point of suffering a leg injury, drawing attention. The recently released teaser shows Park Bo-gum boxing in a dynamic posture and the glorious scars he received after a fierce fight with an opponent.

In order to look like a real national boxing team member, Park Bo-gum learned boxing for the first time in his life and went to an action school every day before filming to build up his muscle mass and basic physical strength.

In ‘Bokssak Cheotsuda’, he properly portrayed a romantic character of the times who only loves one woman. This time, his honest appearance of throwing himself only for justice is also worth seeing.
In addition, Park Bo-gum‘s comic acting, which fits the ‘Comic Action’ genre, is also highly anticipated. He will be acting with Kim So-hyun, Oh Jung-se, Heo Sung-tae, and others, and will make viewers laugh.
