The episode of ‘Good Boy’ that aired on the 1st opened with Yoon Dong-ju(Park Bo-gum)’s ‘fire fist action’.Yoon Dong-ju, who infiltrated the Golden Rabbit den alone, threw his bare fists as per his instinct that cannot tolerate injustice, and achieved a thrilling victory by pulling out two of the golden teeth of the leader, Golden Rabbit(Kang Gil-woo).
At that moment, when the adrenaline was pumping as if he were representing the country, the one shot he fired at Go Man-sik(Heo Sung-tae), who arrived late, was a hilarious incident that even brought laughter.
The Golden Rabbit Hunt ended in great success, and Yun Dong-ju was showered with media flashes with his comment, “I’m just a police officer.I have to catch bad guys.” Seeing in Yun Dong-ju the potential to be a flower bud rather than a ‘shithead’, Go Man-sik persuades Commissioner Cho Pan-yeol(Kim Eung-soo)to form a team comprised of medalists.
Cho Pan-yeol, who was promoting a new weapons business, made a grand announcement of the launch of a special task force under the pretext of responding to heinous crimes in Inseong City.
However, the special task force that believed it was the ‘return of the heroes’ was once again faced with an unexpected reality.
The Golden Rabbit investigation was transferred to Gwangsoo-dae, and the ‘important task’ assigned by the commissioner was to attend the demonstration of the introduction of new equipment.In the end, they were used as a ‘public relations team’ rather than a special team.Ji Han-na(Kim So-hyun), who was mobilized again as a means of image making, rather than the site she had dreamed of, was angered when Commissioner Jo called her “Miss Han-na” again, and left the National Police Agency with a letter of resignation along with a ‘hot event’ where she fired a rubber bullet at the chest of the commissioner who was wearing a bulletproof vest at the demonstration site.
Meanwhile, the broadcast that day showed a speedy development in which the identity of Inseong City’s biggest villain was revealed.
He was hiding a creepy side behind his ordinary face.He was secretly pressuring Lee Kyung-il(Lee Jung-ha)to shift responsibility for the hit-and-run accident, but he was actually squeezing the other person quietly, logically, calmly, and thus more frighteningly.
“If you turn yourself in, you will be sentenced to up to three years.If you don’t, you will be sentenced to more than ten years.If you understand, nod your head.” Lee Kyung-il was terrified by the calculated words.Yoon Dong-ju, who watched his beloved boxing junior, Lee Kyung-il, turn himself in, was furious.
And finally, Yun Dong-ju found the villain he had to catch.
At the funeral of the hit-and-run victim, a customs officer, he had a gut feeling that the gold watch he had seen in passing matched the one the hit-and-run driver had been wearing.
He quickly secured the list of visitors and compared them with the customs officers one by one, narrowing down the faces in his memory.In the end, Yun Dong-ju’s footsteps stopped in front of the one face he was looking for, Min Ju-yeong(Oh Jung-se).Min Ju-yeong met Yun Dong-ju’s fierce gaze with her usual calm face.The ending, where the sharp gazes of ‘bad boy’ Min Ju-yeong, who finally revealed his true identity, and ‘good boy’ Yun Dong-ju, who discovered his existence through his obsession for justice, intersected, brought goosebumps.
