In his first action role, Park Bo-gum stars as Yoon Dong-joo, an Olympic boxer who joins this elite unit. His performance is impeccable—rich in nuance and emotionally resonant. He flawlessly conveys the duality of a man trained to fight yet still capable of profound love and goodness. His natural charisma blends seamlessly with the emotional depth of his character, delivering several unforgettable scenes.
The supporting cast also delivers outstanding performances. Each actor fully embodies their role, adding dynamism and complexity to the story. The chemistry among the characters is another major strength: it feels genuine and organic, amplifying the impact of the series’ most intense moments.
The storyline, crafted with both intelligence and heart, goes beyond a typical police drama. GOOD BOY skillfully incorporates themes of social critique, camaraderie, redemption, and above all, hope. The action sequences are well-paced, with realistic and exhilarating choreography, while the more intimate moments are thoughtfully executed, drawing viewers into the characters’ emotional journeys.
In short, GOOD BOY is a brilliantly directed drama with top-tier production values, powerful performances, and a storyline that truly touches the heart. It’s a K-drama that not only entertains but also resonates long after the final episode. An absolute must-watch for fans of action, drama, and emotionally rich storytelling.

Really enjoyable!
Edit:Just completed the drama and i love it!! Again unrealistic fight scenes, unrealistic villain and unrealistic heroes but thats the premise of the drama from the first episode so i dont really get the dissapointment in the reviews here. I REALLY enjoyed it.
I do feel like the ending was rushed ngl but like i said previously, the acting all makes up for it honestly. I say if you like action, police dramas with great chemistry amongst the team and cute puppy ML's ignore the negative reviews and give it a go!!
Previously:
Currently watching ep 14 and loving it so far, its the perfect blend of many genres and i feel like its been done very well. Its also filmed very well too which is something I usually take notice of, the light directing is honestly *chefs kiss*
I dont get all the negative reviews ngl. I'll admit it is a bit repetitive (could have been shorter) and the fight scenes are quite unealistic but like 'show no mercy', thats to be expected for the kind of drama it is? I'm enjoying it very much and tbh i feel like the acting makes up for it greatly.
Speaking of the acting, o m g. I think everyones done such an amazing job i love all the characters they've all done an amazing job especially oh jung se and park bogum!

"GOOD BOY" — When the Villain Steals the Spotlight
Okay, so I just finished watching Good Boy and I HAVE THOUGHTS. Buckle up.Let’s start with the villain—because oh. my. god. This was not your usual one-dimensional, screaming-into-the-void baddie. Nope. Min Ju Yeong, played brilliantly by Oh Jung Se, was a masterclass in layered psychopathy. Quiet, calculating, and straight-up terrifying in the most subtle way. Every move he made had me going, “Wait—what?!” Like?? He was three steps ahead of everyone all the time. I love when villains feel like actual characters and not just chaotic plot devices. He didn’t just carry the story—he was the story.
Honestly, he totally overpowered the five main leads in terms of intelligence, but I’ll give the writers credit because that was clearly intentional. He was written to dominate the psychological game. And the way Oh Jung Se portrayed him? Chilling. Quiet storm vibes. Not loud, not messy, just deeply unnerving. Genius.
Now, the actual plot: turning national athletes into police officers? Low-key obsessed. Such a refreshing theme. Team dramas like this—where you get to see multiple characters with distinct abilities and personalities working together—are always a win in my book.
Let’s talk about Yoon Dong Ju (the main guy). I had high hopes. I really did. But his character just kept repeating the same reckless cycle after a point. After episode 10, I found myself sighing every time he rushed into danger without a plan. Like bro?? Chill for a sec. I get his passion though—his friend was murdered, and the killer went after his friend’s mother too. The weight of guilt and vengeance definitely explains some of his impulsiveness. But even when they tried to make him seem smart, it just didn’t land. Also... the amount of times he got beaten up and walked away like nothing happened? No broken jaw? Not even a limp? Be so serious 😭.
The female lead (our badass shooter) had a solid start. She brought strength and composure to the team. And the puppy-love phase with Yoon Dong Ju? SO cute at first. I was blushing ngl. But yeah, once the crime plot kicked in hard, their romance fizzled out. It felt one-sided from her end, like she was emotionally distant or just too caught up in the mission. Fair enough, but I wish they explored it more.
As for the second male lead—chef’s kiss. One of my faves. Smart, good-looking, rich… the holy trinity 😂. He didn’t have much to do plot-wise, but he served face and vibes and I respect that.
The team leader and the discus-throwing guy? Comic relief kings. Especially Go Man Sik—his background music and timing cracked me up every time. Their duality balanced the darker tones of the show really well.
Now let’s talk action. FANTASTIC. The fight scenes? Crisp. Realistic (minus the invincibility moments 😅). And the dialogues? Sharp and gripping. Yes, I did drop it in the middle, not gonna lie—but I came back, and I’m so glad I did. It was worth it.
Final Verdict: Good Boy is a well-crafted crime drama with a standout villain, a unique team dynamic, and action sequences that deliver. It might feel slow or repetitive at times, but stick with it—it pays off. Villain lovers, team ensemble fans, and psychological thriller buffs, this one’s for you.
Bonus: If you loved Oh Jung Se in this, PLEASE go watch:
Revenant – horror, mystery, with Kim Tae-ri (ugh, elite vibes).
Mr. Plankton – you’ve probably already heard of it.
It’s Okay to Not Be Okay – he plays an autistic character and honestly? One of the best performances I’ve ever seen.

Good Boy – Crime Thriller? More Like Emotional Dumpster Fire in Uniform
Good Boy walks into the K-drama arena dressed like a gritty crime thriller — medals, action, justice, and the promise of patriotism. But peel off that surface, and you’re left with nothing but the same recycled melodrama, populated by a team of loser ex-athletes who are now loser cops that apparently can’t catch a single criminal.Let’s get one thing straight: the male lead (ML) isn’t a “good boy” — he’s a pathetic boy. He can’t win at work, can’t command respect, and certainly doesn’t hold an ounce of authority in his so-called romantic relationship. He’s like a golden retriever chasing the female lead (FL) around, hoping for scraps of attention while she looks at him like he’s a mildly annoying side character. There’s no charm, no growth, just the same pitiful loop of him being sidelined, ignored, and used.
Meanwhile, the FL is emotionally incapable, wearing trauma like a badge and mistaking coldness for strength. Apparently, her one bad relationship erased her ability to feel — not just love, but anything remotely human. She’s all bark and no bite, a "tough" exterior that crumbles the moment something emotional happens. Cue the tears, cue the trauma flashbacks, cue the exhausted sigh from the viewer.
And then there’s the second male lead (SML) — who, let’s be honest, looks, acts, and feels more like the main lead than the actual ML ever will. He’s composed, competent, and doesn't have to beg for affection like a child asking for candy.
The drama tries to sell itself as a crime-action thriller, but that’s just camouflage. The real story is another sad, sorry tale of a weak ML trying to prove his worth to an emotionally frozen FL who treats vulnerability as a disease. The “missions” and “cases” are just filler — there’s no real tension, no stakes, and certainly no satisfaction.
Final Take:
If you came for suspense and redemption, you’ll get neither. Good Boy is just another emotionally hollow, trend-chasing drama where everyone’s pretending to be tough, but really they’re just crying messes with identity issues. It’s not a crime thriller — it’s a romantic tragedy about a man who can’t win and a woman who can’t feel.

Lack of depth in storyline but good acting
Considering we're only 3 episodes in, can't help but say that so far the way all the police officers work in this makes hardly any sense. Dongju confronts anyone he wants without any tactics, and i doesn't seem like anyone on his team even trusts him. Seems to be more about having high-school-like characters who just like to fight and have cool action scenes more than anything. Hana seems to have no redeeming qualities, and it doesn't make sense so far why the love triangle exists, considering she ignores Dongju. Regardless, the performances from Park Bogum and Lee Sangyi are good, but they can only take the story so far.Worth seeing if it improves but doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary imo.

This year is all about k dramas.
There is a lot of hype around Park Bo-gum and Kim So Hyun's new K-drama Good Boy, and it is shaping up to be one of the best series of 2025.Park Bo-gum referred to this series as his "second chance", which marks the beginning of a new chapter in his acting career.
The first episode of this drama was released today. The first episode was so good that I didn't realize it was over in 1 hour and 30 minutes. The perfect combination of romance, comedy, and action 🥶
Park Bo-gum and Kim So-hyun are working together after almost a decade, which has created more excitement among fans. Those who like action, comedy, investigation with light romance should not miss it 🫶
Trending at the top even before its release. It can't be missed, you have to watch it while it's still ongoing. Otherwise, the thrill will be ruined by spoilers.
Just as Episode 12 of the drama was “Traumatised”, Episode 13 was also very “Satisfying”🙌 “Ji Han-na” did like a hundred things in the entire episode alone…🔥
Brother, what did they show in episode 13 of Good Boy? What an episode 🔥 Just one episode of Good Boy is equal to 16 episodes of many dramas.
---🔥------Load, Start........Don’t STOP ------🔥 ----☢️--Ji Han na on fire------☠️ ------Good boy------Episode 13 is another level 💥 It’s like hanging your head. One episode like this is enough for a drama.
Episode 14 just fire 🔥.
What a title kings never die 🎲
All of them fighting scenes just mind-blowing
And only two episodes are left….
Like the hype, the story of the gathering.
Another best K-Drama of 2025 can be called this drama. Each episode is a new surprise, a new twist, for which even a moment can not be removed.
Not only the main lead, but also supporting characters are winning the audience's mind in one scene.
As "Dongju" and "Hannar" chemistry is as deep, the rest of the members' bonds and teamwork also bring another satisfaction.
This drum has a combination of action, comedy, emotion, thrill all things.
Each episode increases more interest, in curiosity what the end will look like.
The name of the drama is as beautiful as it is.
Finally ended our favorite K -Drama Good Boy. Everyone thought Dongju (Park Bo Gum) might have died, but I thought I was the number that episode it seemed like there was something. Yes, in fact, the number of episodes was so deadly Josh what to say in one word. To me the best of 2025 is Drama seems to be good boy. What was unstable and the fathers of each person are the fatal levels on the father
I just finished seeing what a beautiful drama was over. It is better to see such a beautiful similarity of 5 of them, it is better to say that the druma is the friend of it.
I will give the rating: 100/1000000
Dill will be less

Good boy
It's so funny, All the actors have done great and it's an entertaining series, I always watch Park Bo gum series and I'm one of his best. Oh Jung se, his role is very negative and I don't like him, the romance of this series is also very beautiful. I hope that it will continue to go great and that I will come back and write about it again. This is the first time I am writing here, The sound effects are great and really make me laugh, the steel cuts released from the series are very beautiful and it has unique photography, I wish all the actors of the series to win many awards.Was this review helpful to you?

I think everyone should watch this kdrama at least once in their life!
The cast was very well chosen because the actors were incredible, the story was something different that I had not seen before and it was not something generic, and they focused a lot on the story of each character and the way they evolved little by little and dealt with their traumas wisely, the villains were perfect too because they made me angry from beginning to end and made me scream, the development of each character was something surprising and with each decision made they matured, the only villain that surprised me was Leo who was completely wronged, he was deceived and manipulated by Min ju yeong and regretted everything he did and some things he wasn't even the one who did, He could have survived and been arrested and that would have been enough, now I really liked the ending because it was a fair ending for all the characters and I admit... I cried a lot seeing the characters getting everything they wanted and I cried when I heard Dong Ju call Mrs. Jung mother 😭 it was very emotional and seeing Han Na with him in the end was incredible, the story was incredible the screenwriter deserved a Grammy and now let's talk about the actors' performance, I saw a lot of effort on the part of the actors and I could feel like crying, laughing and screaming at the same time and the OST was incredible, Each song makes you connect with the scene, and I thought each villain got what they deserved, and Drug Monster got the ending she deserved despite not showing what happened to her, But she regretted everything she did and never wanted to hurt children, only Ju Yeong who was cruel to anyone regardless of age and relationship, I believe it was Drug Monster who went to prison in the end, We just don't know if Ju Yeong really died so I think there might be a second season and I hope there is because I'm feeling empty now that I've finished, so I think if you have the opportunity to watch it, WATCH ITWas this review helpful to you?

Got Me Out of My K-Drama Slump
It's been a while since a K-drama truly hooked me, and honestly, I’ve been in a bit of a slump when it comes to watching new shows. But Good Boy completely broke that streak and I’m so glad it did. It’s refreshing in every sense of the word. At first, I’ll admit I was mainly there for Park Bo-gum (who wouldn’t be?), but I quickly found myself getting pulled into the story itself.What surprised me the most is how well-rounded this drama is. It’s not just about one thing it’s a blend of genres: action, comedy, mystery, sports, and even some heartfelt emotional moments. It somehow manages to be intense and touching, thrilling and warm, all at once. The storyline is genuinely solid, with characters that feel layered and real. Each episode leaves you curious about what’s coming next, without feeling too heavy or overly dramatic.
Good Boy feels like a K-drama made for everyone. Whether you’re into action, character development, or simply good storytelling, it has a little something for all types of viewers. It’s been a really good watch so far, and I’m excited to see how the rest of the series unfolds.
If you've been stuck in a K-drama slump like me, Good Boy might be exactly what you need to fall in love with the genre all over again.
