BEST ROM COM POLAR DRAMAS !!!!
This is a drama I've been eagerly awaiting, especially for its cast, like many others! I was a little perplexed by the genre, as I thought sports would be a central theme, and not an action thriller. I didn't want to spoil too much with the trailers. So I was pleasantly surprised to discover how diverse and charming this drama is: whether it's the romance, which is actually quite present, the mysteries to solve, the depth of each character and their development, the ultra-stylish music, the humor, the seriousness, the drama... everything blends together perfectly.
From the very beginning, I think it's a blast! It's super stylish to see PARK BO GUM in a ring, just like the other fighters in their respective disciplines, while also giving us a glimpse of what's going to happen. It really makes you want to see what happens next; it's very well thought out, a bit like in Hierarchy. I like this subtly American touch.
The casting really touched me, whether it was PARK BO GUM, true to himself: courageous, adorable, endearing, and perfectly in sync with his co-actress KIM SO HYUN, whom I adore and who also fits the genre very well. They had superb chemistry! They are so similar on a human level that you can feel it through the screen.
Lee Sang Yi completely dazzled me! Not only was I a fan of his fighting style, his clothing style, his charisma, and his natural class (yes, that's a lot!), but his character was also truly endearing and understanding. He gave me SLS* (second lead syndrome) in spades! Honestly, with this trio, I wanted to say to the girl: "But actually, choose both!" How can you choose between two angels? Once again, a great actor, he really has it all!
I won't even mention Oh Jung Se, who is extraordinary; he manages to merge once again with his character, who was Machiavellian!
Regarding the story, it's never boring! Each episode is full of twists and turns and keeps us on the edge of our seats; I was amazed every time. We experience a whole range of emotions, as our heroes often find themselves in situations that seem hopeless... then, against all odds, things end up working out.
Is the story easy? Yes and no. It's true that some situations are resolved quite quickly, almost as if by magic at times (especially certain alliances), but overall, everything remains coherent and, above all, very entertaining. We're constantly searching for the slightest clue, hoping to gather crumbs of information to better understand everyone's intentions and actions.
As you can see, Good Boy is a drama rich in entertainment, charming, thrilling, and driven by a healthy dose of kindness thanks to a team of incredibly endearing characters! I thrilled, trembled, and loved it right along with them. It's, in my opinion, a remarkable drama, one that puts a lot of other "chill" thrillers of the same genre to shame (like Police University, Rookie Cops, etc.). What's more, for the lazy or beginners, it's even available in French audio, despite its 16 episodes! Admittedly, there are a few small weaknesses: in 12 episodes, the plot (especially on the "bad guys'" side) could have been a little more condensed. But honestly, there's no slowness to report.
It's a drama that can appeal to many, because it's truly versatile. It manages to combine rom-com, action, and more serious thrillers, all supported by stunts, visuals, and a top-notch OST! And UNITY IS STRENGTH!
I definitely recommend THE GOOD BOY!
BANGER 10/10 !!!
