Actor Lee Ho-jung left a strong impression in JTBC weekend drama ‘Good Boy’ by shaking up the center of the play with his role as a new type of villain, the devil.

Lee Ho-jung appeared as a drug ghost, aka ‘the devil’, from the 5th episode, and focused the attention of viewers with his unique makeup and styling, and unpredictable behavior.The devil he plays is a character who manufactures a new type of drug candy and does not hesitate to kill, and is a complex character that goes beyond a simple villain and adds to the thrill and tension.

From the first appearance, he disrupts the police investigation and shows a strange interest in Yoon Dong-ju(played by Park Bo-gum), who saved him, and changes the emotional lines of other characters.Then, in episode 6, he adds a surprising development where he disappears with Go Man-sik’s(played by Heo Sung-tae)daughter, Go Jeong-ah(played by Choi Myung-bin), maximizing the tension.

As the truth about the ‘Devil’s ‘real name being Kim Yeon-ha was revealed, the plot really picked up when he was pointed out as a suspect rather than a witness.The tension reached its peak in the face-to-face scene with Min Joo-young(played by Oh Jung-se), increasing viewers’ immersion.

Lee Ho-jung showed off his creepy villain acting, and in the scene where he pretends to be the victim, he showed a reversal with his innocent appearance.His three-dimensional acting ability that goes back and forth between good and evil also shined in his acting chemistry with Park Bo-gum and Kim So-hyun.People are curious about how the devil’s presence will change the flow of the drama and what kind of shocking developments it will bring.

Meanwhile, JTBC’s ‘Good Boy’, starring Lee Ho-jung, airs every Saturday at 10:40 PM and Sunday at 10:30 PM.
