Actor Oh Jung-se is going through a series of transformations.

He creates a villain character of all time through JTBC ‘Good Boy’, which will be aired for the first time on the 31st.

‘Good Boy’ is a comical action youth investigative drama about medalists who become police officers through special recruitment, wearing police ID cards around their necks instead of medals, and fighting against a world full of unscrupulousness and foul play.

In the drama, he transforms into Min Joo-young, who has the face of a customs officer but secretly controls Inseong City, and foreshadows a strong presence that will shake up the five young men of ‘Good Boys’ Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Lee Sang-yi, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok.

Oh Jung-se defined it through the production team, saying, “Rather than calling it a monster in a drama, it is a real monster with an ordinary face that existed in the past, still exists next to us now, and will continue to live and breathe around us in the future.”

He focused on how to develop the character of Min Joo-young, who is already known as a villain, in an interesting way, and revealed his concerns and designs to create a multi-layered villain, saying, “After declaring war by saying, ‘I am a villain,’ I tried to develop the character into one that constantly makes you wonder, ‘What kind of villain is he?’ , ‘What kind of things is he capable of?’ like peeling an onion.”

He continued, “I wanted to reveal the true nature of Min Joo-young, the ugliest monster with the most ordinary face.”

In fact, he approached the setting of the appearance meticulously, and he personally suggested a setting where the character wears clothes that look neat on the outside but are actually the most expensive, and he put a lot of effort into expressing the ‘banality of evil’ in detail.
