‘Good Boy’ Unveils Character Posters Featuring Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, and More
Amazon Prime Video’s Latest K-Drama ‘Good Boy’ Introduces Its Star-Studded Cast with Bold Character Posters
Set to premiere globally on Amazon Prime Video and domestically on JTBC, the highly anticipated Korean series “Good Boy” has unveiled its character posters. Featuring an all-star ensemble including Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Oh Jung-se, Lee Sang-yi, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok, these visuals offer a powerful glimpse into the eccentric team of medal-winning athletes-turned-police officers who come together to fight systemic corruption, injustice, and everything in between in a fresh blend of action, comedy, and drama.
The Olympic Underdogs Taking Justice Into Their Hands
Park Bo-gum plays Yoon Dong-ju, a former boxing gold medalist with a bruised but indomitable spirit. After being demoted to the lowest police rank due to repeated mishaps, he mounts a comeback from rock bottom. His poster, featuring his bloodied, bandaged hands and sweat-drenched face against a bold blue backdrop, is a testament to his fiery resilience. Calling him “a bulldozer of justice,” Park highlights the character’s uncompromising morals and emotional grit.
In stark contrast, Kim So-hyun brings to life Ji Ha-na, a sharp-shooting ex-gold medalist in shooting and current special task force sergeant. With her eyes coldly focused and shotgun in hand, she personifies clinical accuracy and sharp decision-making, describing herself as a “radar”—calm, composed, and always centered on the target.
Brains, Brawn, and Brutal Honesty
Lee Sang-yi portrays Kim Jong-hyun, a fencing silver medalist turned rule-abiding detective. He’s the brain of the group, calculating his every move. He likens himself to “cracked glasses”—seemingly fragile but fitting perfectly into his mission-driven role.
Heo Sung-tae steps into the role of Go Man-sik, a veteran wrestler and now unit leader. With unmatched endurance and parental toughness, he acts as the glue for his eclectic team. He describes Man-sik as a “father” figure—gruff, cautious, yet self-sacrificing for his team and family.
Tae Won-seok rounds off the team as Shin Jae-hong, a former discus thrower who balances his raw power with unexpected wit and pragmatism. Tied to his family’s well-being, he sees himself as a “pine tree”—steadfast, grounded, and ever-present.
Meet the Antagonist—The Man Against the Medalists
The group’s nemesis is Min Ju-young, played by the ever-transformative Oh Jung-se. Once a humble customs officer, now the city’s most elusive criminal, Joo-young’s black-themed poster and opposite-facing stance reveal the brewing chaos he brings. “Monsters live among us,” Oh ominously warns, adding a chilling realism to the show’s villain.
From Acclaimed Creators Behind ‘Monster’ and ‘Bad Mom’
Helmed by director Shim Na-yeon of “Monster” and “Bad Mom” fame, and penned by Lee Dae-il of “Life on Mars” and “The Aide”, Good Boy fuses genre-defying storytelling with socially charged themes, carving a narrative that explores both physical and moral endurance.
Premiering on May 31 at 10:40 PM KST via JTBC and Amazon Prime Video globally, Good Boy is set to leave a bold impression with its refreshing take on justice, loyalty, and team spirit.
