This time, ‘shooting genius’ Kim So-hyun will step forward.Kim So-hyun’s preemptive provocation toward Oh Jung-se, the biggest villain of JTBC’s ‘Good Boy’, is foreshadowed.

In JTBC weekend drama ‘Good Boy’, Ji Han-na(Kim So-hyun), a former gold medalist in shooting, is starting to show her provocations.Ji Han-na, who has returned as a member of the special forces team, is expected to stimulate Min Joo-young’s(Oh Jung-se)nerves and ignite a tense psychological warfare.

Ji Han-na, who had been desperately hoping to follow her father, who was a police officer, into the field, was more hopeful than anyone else at the news of the establishment of the Violent Crimes Special Investigation Team.However, she soon found out that the launch was a ploy by Commissioner Cho Pan-yeol(Kim Eung-soo)to play with the media, and was frustrated that she had once again become a publicity tool.In the end, she staged a ‘hot event’ by shooting Commissioner Cho, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, at a demonstration of new equipment introduction, and submitted her resignation and left the Violent Crimes Special Investigation Team.However, she learned that the gold watch found at the scene of the death of Yoon Dong-ju’s(Park Bo-gum)boxing junior Lee Kyung-il(Lee Jung-ha)was the same as the one left at the scene of her father’s death in the past.She returned to the Violent Crimes Special Investigation Team, and began to pursue the mystery of her father’s death and the connection to the Lee Kyung-il case, while also starting to track down Min Joo-young in earnest.

Meanwhile, Min Joo-young began to perceive Ji Han-na as a ‘factor of anxiety’.Ji Han-na had obtained the documents of the customs officer he had killed in a hit-and-run accident in the past, and had mobilized ethnic Koreans to steal them, but the envelope of documents was already open, and there was a possibility that Ji Han-na had seen them.Ji Han-na became a variable that Min Joo-young could not ignore, as she had not hesitated to eliminate those who were threats to her, such as Lee Kyung-il and the prison guards.

In the midst of this, Ji Hanna’s preemptive attack by provoking Min Joo-young first is expected to further intensify the war of nerves between the two.The released still cuts capture a scene of Min Joo-young leaving the police station and Ji Hanna blocking her path, facing off.Ji Hanna’s eyes are determined as she asks about Min Joo-young’s gold watch, and Min Joo-young’s expression as she stares at her is both relaxed and intimidating.In particular, the trailer even includes a scene of Ji Hanna handing an envelope directly to Min Joo-young, and the intentional contact as if she were baiting him to draw him out stimulates curiosity.Their suffocating psychological warfare has truly begun.

The production team announced, “In episode 5, Ji Hanna will fully engage in a head-on confrontation with Min Joo-young,” and added, “Ji Hanna’s cool-headed sense and gun, which will no longer back down, will now be aimed not at the shooting target, but at the cruel and ruthless villain, Min Joo-young.Please pay attention to the confrontation between the two that will create even more intense tension.”

Episode 5 of JTBC’s ‘Good Boy’ will air on the 14th and be available to viewers around the world through Amazon Prime Video.
