‘Good Boy’ Park Bo-gum’s awakening caused an adrenaline explosion in the living room theater.

On the 10th episode of JTBC Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Good Boy’ (directed by Shim Na-yeon, written by Lee Dae-il, produced by SLL, Studio & New, and Drama House Studio)that aired on the 29th, the special task force ended up scattered.Yoon Dong-ju(Park Bo-gum)and Ji Han-na(Kim So-hyun)jumped into the sea and barely managed to save Kim Jong-hyun(Lee Sang-yi), who had been shot and fallen, but his condition was critical.Furthermore, his ankle, which he had suffered as a player, was seriously fractured, and even if he regained consciousness, it was unclear whether he would be able to return to the police force.

Meanwhile, Min Joo-young(Oh Jung-se)threatened In-seong Mayor(Sung Ji-ru)to hand over the investigation of the Geumpo Shipyard incident to the prosecution, and used the excessive investigation as an excuse to disband the special team.Ji Han-na returned to the investigation support and the underground warehouse.Kim Jong-hyun worked hard on rehabilitation treatment, but was pressured to give up his family company shares if he continued to be a police officer.Go Man-sik(Heo Sung-tae), who was demoted to the district office, suffered from a sense of guilt as he had his head ripped off by a drunk and was covered in the excrement of a drug addict.Shin Jae-hong(Tae Won-seok)also put on the traffic police mask again, but lost his chance at a promotion exam and had to sigh at the text message urging him to repay his loan.



Yun Dong-ju’s situation was even more dire.Under the name of special support work, he did things like suppressing protesters, cleaning police buses, and working as a daily citizen helper at the police station.His punch drunk(aftereffects of boxing)also got worse day by day.He suddenly got nosebleeds, his hands shook, and his vision became blurred more frequently.His attending physician(Lee Ji-hoon)even strongly warned him, “Don’t take my condition lightly.If my blood pressure suddenly rises, I could suffer a cerebral hemorrhage or even blindness.” In the meantime, Min Ju-yeong, who had retired from the Korea Customs Service, visited him while he was volunteering at a bank and laughed at him, saying, “No matter how much you struggle alone, nothing will change.”

But Yun Dong-ju gritted his teeth and held on like the ‘Pater’ craftsman Go Man-sik.Go Man-sik gave boxing gloves to Yun Dong-ju during his school days when he used to get in and out of police stations because of his strong punches.When Yun Dong-ju, who had become a champion, fell from grace due to suspicions of doping, and after a two-year long legal battle, was cleared of the charges but had difficulty returning as a player, it was also him who recommended that he become a special police officer.For Go Man-sik, who helped him whenever he had a hard time, and for Jeong Mi-ja(Seo Jeong-yeon), who was shot and fell into a coma because of him, he could not lose the only pride in his life, the gold medal, and his job as a police officer.

The reality of the son of the hit-and-run victim Lee Jin-soo, whom he happened to meet, being frustrated, became a decisive trigger.Yoon Dong-ju, who absolutely did not want to show his young child the absurdity of not being able to bring the person who did that to his father to justice, made a firm promise, “I will definitely catch him.” And he climbed back into the ring and trained harder than when he was a player, shedding blood and sweat to prepare for the rematch with Min Ju-young.Between rounds, that short one-minute break was not simply a time to quench his thirst and wipe away the sweat, but a time to crouch down for victory in the next round.Even when the match was briefly stopped(time out), the round was not over yet.

The beginning is the lifeline of Min Joo-young’s power.It is a counter-use of Min Joo-young’s ridicule, “Don’t you still know what moves people?” Wearing a black hood and hat, Yoon Dong-ju took down Min Joo-young’s cartel strongholds one by one, such as illegal gambling dens, human resources offices, and food marts.The scattered special team members and Min Joo-young immediately recognized the fact that the citizen hero with his face covered in CCTV footage revealed through the news that illegally operated businesses in Inseong City were caught en masse.Above all, Yoon Dong-ju’s ending, where he unhesitatingly flew and kicked the gangsters of Club Dark Horse, left a thrilling signal for another round and exploded with anticipation.

Meanwhile, Jihanna also prepared a counterattack in the basement warehouse of the police station.Through the case files stored in the warehouse, she traced the clues of the case of smuggler Oh Bong-chan(Song Young-chang), who was murdered in a similar manner to her father, such as with a.30 caliber Russian gunshot wound.She also found a bottle of high-quality whiskey left on the oxygen on her father’s memorial day, and thought of Russian mafia Leo(Go Joon)whom she had seen on the smuggling cargo ship.That meaningful face hinted that Jihanna’s round, which she had crouched down for a moment, was not over yet.’Good Boy’ airs every Saturday night at 10:40 PM and Sunday night at 10:30 PM on JTBC, and meets viewers around the world through Amazon Prime Video.
