The character posters of Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Oh Jung-se, Lee Sang-yi, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok have been released.

JTBC new weekend drama ‘Good Boy’ (directed by Shim Na-yeon, written by Lee Dae-il)is a comical action youth investigative drama about medalists who become police officers through special recruitment, wearing police ID cards instead of medals, and fighting against a world full of unscrupulousness and foul play.It is a work that director Shim Na-yeon of ‘Monster’, ‘Bad Mom’ and writer Lee Dae-il of ‘Life on Mars’ and ‘Chief of Staff’ joined forces.

According to the production team, Yoon Dong-ju(Park Bo-gum)is a police officer who was a gold medalist in boxing, but after a series of accidents, he is demoted to a police officer and starts again from the lowest position.Rather than being reckless, the phrase “never backed down” suits him better, and although he is rough and clumsy, deep inside he has a warm heart and an unexpected instinct to go straight.Against the background of the refreshing yet strong “blue” color, his bandaged hands and face soaked with blood and sweat bring to mind the fierce times he endured in the ring, and his sharp eyes reveal his unyielding arrogance and pride.Park Bo-gum described the character as, “With his burning sense of justice, he doesn’t even allow room to run away.Yoon Dong-ju, who punishes low-level injustice, is a ‘bulldozer.’”

Ji Han-na(played by Kim So-hyun), a former gold medalist in shooting who was called the ‘Shooting Goddess’ and currently a special forces sergeant, shows her cool concentration while holding a ‘shotgun’ and aiming at her target.Behind her cold eyes, there is a condensation of composure and determination honed in real combat, and there is also a sense of tension like the stillness right before pulling the trigger.Kim So-hyun defined Ji Han-na, who has a cold head and a heart burning with ‘red’, as ‘radar’.She represents her with the concentration and judgment to accurately capture the target after calmly analyzing the situation without being swayed by emotions.



Kim Jong-hyun(played by Lee Sang-yi), a former silver medalist in fencing, is a special forces sergeant with sharp intelligence and agile senses.The ‘white’ image, where neat styling and sharp gaze intersect, always brings to mind the past when he won with precisely calculated movements.Lee Sang-yi likened Kim Jong-hyun, a thoroughgoing principled man who puts reason before emotion, to ‘cracked glasses’.Lee Sang-yi said, “Cracks can be dangerous, but I can’t easily throw away these glasses that fit me the best.With these glasses, I will go my own way!”

Go Man-sik(Heo Sung-tae), who showed his unique tenacity and perseverance during his national wrestling days, is now leading the team as the special team leader.Now a veteran detective who looks better in a detective’s old jumper than a wrestling bodysuit as the years have passed, his firm expression shows the weight of a leader who is more accustomed to coordination and patience than fighting.Like the color yellow that naturally blends in with any other color, Go Man-sik is the link and coordinator that unites the strong-willed team members.Heo Sung-tae likened Go Man-sik to a “father,” explaining, “He is always timid and anxious, but he is an amazing and respectable figure who pushes forward for his family and colleagues.”

Shin Jae-hong(played by Tae Won-seok), a former national discus thrower, shows off his unexpected charm with a playful expression that is hard to imagine from his overwhelming physique.While he upholds the simple principle that power is justice, he becomes a detective who makes a living by thinking about his family that he has to support and making judgments on the situation.Nevertheless, Tae Won-seok described him as a ‘pine tree’ representing clean green.”It’s because he resembles the consistency and honesty of always being with his teammates in their place.” Although he seems to be taking a step back, we can expect the moment when he will show off his power when it is really needed.



Min Joo-young(played by Oh Jung-se)hides a fearsome face as the biggest villain in Inseong City behind an ordinary customs officer.Unlike the other characters, the ‘black’ poster with an’ X ‘sign instead of a sports pictogram creates a different atmosphere.In particular, this poster is composed with the five characters looking in one direction while Min Joo-young is the only one turned around, visually revealing a stark contrast between’ those who are trying to catch ‘and’ those who are trying not to be caught.’Oh Jung-se recalled Min Joo-young’s line, ‘I don’t remember well, ‘and expressed his intention to clearly reveal the true nature of evil by saying, “Through this, I tried to project the monsters that are alive and breathing around us.We must remember, punish, and restrain these monsters.”

The production team stated, “This poster visually expresses various characters that allow us to understand everything about each character, including their previous occupation, current role, and emotional line.After the first broadcast on the 31st, if you look at the characteristics of each character and their stories intersecting, you will be able to find more meaning.Please be sure to watch the original broadcast.”

‘ Good Boy’ will premiere at 10:40 PM on Saturday the 31st.
