Till episode 6, Good Boy is lowkey addictive. It starts with a bang—literally. A national-level boxer (Ji-hyuk) loses everything after a tragic event at the Olympics, and suddenly he’s part of this elite “Olympic Guard” team—basically a secret unit made up of medalists who now fight crime. Sounds wild, but it works.
Each episode builds the tension: the team handles shady VIP cases, Ji-hyuk struggles with trauma and guilt, and there’s a solid bromance slowly forming within the team. You get glimpses of corruption, hidden agendas, and how broken the system is behind all the medals and fame. By ep 6, the stakes feel personal—there’s a sense that someone from the inside is pulling strings, and the team’s loyalty is being tested. It’s action-heavy but with just enough emotion to keep it grounded. And honestly, the slow burn tension? Chef’s kiss.
It’s not just about fighting—it’s about broken people trying to find purpose again.
