The new JTBC drama "Good Boy" has announced the confirmed casting of actors Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Oh Jung-se, Lee Sang-yi, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok.

"Good Boy" (directed by Shim Na-yeon, written by Lee Dae-il) is a comic action investigation drama about medalists who become police officers through special recruitment, trading their medals for police badges to fight against a world rampant with unscrupulous behavior and foul play. The project brings together director Shim Na-yeon, who captured both critical acclaim and buzz with "Beyond Evil," which won Best Drama at the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards, and the hit "The Good Bad Mother," alongside writer Lee Dae-il, known for his distinct genre works such as "Life on Mars" and the "Chief of Staff" series. To top it off, it has built a star-studded lineup including Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Oh Jung-se, Lee Sang-yi, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok.

Park Bo-gum takes on the role of "Yoon Dong-ju," a police officer in the Special Investigation Team who became an officer through a special recruitment program for medalists, revived after 11 years. Dong-ju, who appeared like a comet and won a gold medal in boxing, is a character living his second life as a police officer after stepping down from the podium of glory due to a single incident. Although he is momentarily frozen in an unfamiliar world, the rampant unscrupulousness and foul play of society awaken his dormant fighter instincts, leading Dong-ju to throw himself into the fray for justice without a second thought. The fact that South Korea's top flawless star actor, Park Bo-gum, is transforming into a rough, passionate, and intense fighter is enough to make anyone's heart race.

With the lineup of the Avengers Special Investigation Team, a five-member group that delivers uppercuts to all the foul play in the world, now complete, viewer anticipation is at an all-time high.
