[CBC News] Actor Park Bo-gum is captivating viewers with his masterful performance in JTBC’s action-packed drama Good Boy, adding emotional depth and tension as the story heads toward its climax.
Fierce Fights and Rising Stakes
Episodes 13 and 14, which aired last weekend, saw Yoon Dong-joo (played by Park Bo-gum) and the special investigative team expose the sinister crimes of Min Joo-young (Oh Jung-se). Dong-joo, who had recently lost consciousness due to a brutal fight, regains awareness only to learn that Ji Han-na (Kim So-hyun) has managed to trap the villain inside his secret hideout.
Despite relying on painkillers, Dong-joo springs into action to rescue Han-na, showcasing his superhuman determination. His confrontational visit to a covert police meeting—where he throws a punch at Commissioner Jo Pan-yeol (Kim Eung-soo)—highlights his unrelenting sense of justice, even while being a wanted man.
The Soft Side of a Fighter
Though largely defined by his defiance and grit, Dong-joo reveals a gentler side. After saving Han-na, the two share a tender, heartfelt conversation—offering a glimpse into his pure-hearted nature. Their budding romance brings warmth to the screen, while Dong-joo’s evolving camaraderie with fellow agent Kim Jong-hyeon (Lee Sang-yi), once a rival, adds emotional complexity to the story.
Unrelenting to the End
The episode finale delivers a pulse-pounding battle between Dong-joo and Oh Jong-goo (Jung Man-sik). Even as Dong-joo temporarily loses his vision due to possible brain trauma, he fearlessly charges forward, landing a critical blow in near total darkness—a scene that left viewers breathless.
Park Bo-gum impressively portrays Yoon Dong-joo as a layered character: kind and gentle, yet unafraid to use force against evil—a compelling combination that makes his performance unforgettable.
Final Countdown
With only two episodes left, Good Boy will air its 15th episode and grand finale next weekend on JTBC—Saturday at 10:40 PM and Sunday at 10:30 PM.
