Actor Oh Jung-se takes on the challenge of playing the greatest villain of all time.

Oh Jung-se will present another strong villain role through JTBC new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Good Boy’ (written by Lee Dae-il, directed by Shim Na-yeon).Oh Jung-se, who has built depth in his own way for any role, is a customs officer in ‘Good Boy’, but he will be playing the role of ‘Min Joo-young’ who secretly controls Inseong City.

According to the production team, Oh Jung-se defined the character of Min Joo-young as “a real monster with an ordinary face who existed in the past, still exists next to us, and will continue to live and breathe around us in the future, rather than a monster in a drama.” Oh Jung-se, who focused on how to make Min Joo-young, who is already known as a villain, interesting, said, “I tried to develop her into a character who declares war by saying, ‘I am the villain, ‘and then constantly makes you wonder,’ What kind of villain is she? ‘and’ What is she capable of? ‘like peeling an onion.”

Oh Jung-se explained, “I wanted to express the most extreme change with a small change.I wanted to reveal the essence of Min Joo-young, the ugliest monster with the most ordinary face.” He actually approached the external setting meticulously, personally suggesting a setting where she looks neat on the outside but actually wears the most expensive clothes, and he put a lot of effort into expressing the’ banality of evil ‘in detail.


In particular, Oh Jung-se pointed out Min Joo-young’s line, “I don’t remember well,” and said, “I remember seeing adults lying on TV when I was young.Monsters who hide behind power and capital and commit crimes are still with us.We will continue to live with these monsters, and we must remember them, punish them, and restrain them,” revealing insight that breaks down the boundaries between characters and the times.

The character who stands in stark contrast to Min Joo-young, who has this monstrous nature in reality, is none other than Yoon Dong-ju(played by Park Bo-gum).The confrontation between the hot-blooded youth Yoon Dong-ju, who is driven by a sense of justice, and Min Joo-young, who commits evil with an innocent face, is expected to maximize the tension of the play.Oh Jung-se, who hoped that his mask would be taken off by Yoon Dong-ju, explained, “Min Joo-young seems like a dry person who lives a life of leisure, but his violence is sometimes revealed.I wanted to stimulate Yoon Dong-ju more, so I tried to express his violence as strongly as possible within the limits of what I could express in the drama.”

Regarding his chemistry with Park Bo-gum, he said, “What can I say! I wanted to quickly, excitedly, and refreshingly catch up with him,” and “He was a fellow actor I could learn a lot from.” He emphasized the density of their chemistry that went beyond a simple confrontation between good and evil.With this short but strong line, expectations for the fierce confrontation between ‘good boy’ Yoon Dong-joo and ‘bad boy’ Min Joo-young are also increasing.

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