It's a Fight Fest that focuses on Bo Gum's character
That Park Bo Gum's character survived this drama was a miracle! Honestly, if they had him sacrificing himself in the pursuit of justice, THAT would have made him more of a noble character/hero than what he ended up as in this drama.
And since this drama revolves around his character, let me comment on my probably unpopular opinion that when Park Bo Gum is in action & being fierce : he's interesting. When he's not, he's just boring. His always hungry, puppy dog man child is totally unappealing & especially unromantic . I will give him due respect for how he got himself ready for this role & for how he put his heart & soul into the action scenes .For me, though, it's Lee Sang Yi that is more leading man material as he is increasingly interesting & appealing as he exudes depth & maturity . Unfortunately they don't flesh out his character very much, even to the point of not giving us any explanation as to why he & Kim So Hyun's character broke up! They also have given no reason as to why she is so sought after by the male leads -making the attraction feel forced (& unnecessary). They should have made this just a buddy/coworker ensemble. Ironically, as the drama progresses , the female lead's character stands back a few times, realizing that though she is the romantic interest, the guys pretty much have better rapport with each other ! yeah, the bromance is not well set up or explained but it's fun to watch. Sadly ,the drama suffers from a glut of violence & ridiculous recoveries from injuries on both sides. Also at fault is the wearying relentless & often brainless pursuit of the villain by Bo Gum' Character. I stopped & started this drama 3 times. By the last 2 episodes, I honestly just didn't care & wanted to be done. As far as the title goes, Park Bo Gum's character is NOT actually a "Good Boy" & he proves it by being a law unto himself, punching people out of anger more often than out of necessity, effectively making him just as much a thug as any of the "bad guys". Not much noble or heroic about alot of what he does. If you need to know: there is a happy ending for all the main characters.
