Korean series 'Good Boy’ with Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Lee Sang-yi  coming to Prime Video

Published Apr 21, 2025 07:06 am

Prime Video announced on April 21 that the Korean comedy action series “Good Boy” will premiere on the streaming platform on May 31. 

“Good Boy” stars Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Lee Sang-yi, Heo Sung-tae and Tae Won-seok and tells the story of former medal-winning athletes who become police officers and fight in a world full of criminals.

Yun Dong-ju (Park Bo-gum), Ji Han-na (Kim So-hyun), Kim Jong-hyeon (Lee Sang-yi), Ko Man-sik (Heo Sung-tae) and Shin Jae-hong (Tae Won-seok) form a rag-tag team who aim to take down the forces behind a large crime group.

With plenty of laughs and exciting action, “Good Boy” will entertain viewers worldwide in more than 240 countries and territories on Prime Video. 

Fresh off the success of “When Life Gives You Tangerines,” Park Bo-gum transforms into a different but still lovable character, Yun Dong-ju. 

Named after a noble Korean poet, Dong-ju lives a life contrary to the name given to him, always getting involved in fist fights during his school years. Through his experiences in fighting, Dong-ju learns proper boxing, beginning a successful career as a boxer and ultimately winning a gold medal. 

However, his glorious moment is shattered by his unfair expulsion from his boxing team. A new beginning starts for Dong-ju when he is able to become a police officer through a special recruitment opportunity. 

But his journey as a policeman doesn't turn out to be as smooth as his career as a boxer. Nevertheless, Dong-ju is absolutely smitten when he stumbles upon the beautiful Ji Han-na through work.

Actress Kim So-hyun channels medalist turned police officer Ji Han-na. Since middle school, Han-na was a shooting prodigy, dominating world championships with her precise aim and was adored by many fans. 

However, after gaining a bigger fan base, she also drew attention from less well intentioned groups. Criticism poured in and misunderstandings piled up, causing Han-na to gradually shut herself off from the world. 

These difficulties led to her failing to concentrate at the most crucial moment in her shooting career. Eventually, a stress-induced condition and dizziness forced her to retire from her once promising shooting career. 

She then applied for special police recruitment, with dreams of becoming a police officer like her father. Han-na is happy to finally be assigned to the special team, despite having the overly enamored Dong-ju and her ex-boyfriend Jong-hyeon as teammates.

“Spice Up Our Love” and “No Gain No Love” star Lee Sang-yi portrays silver medalist Kim Jong-hyeon. 

An ex-fencer, Jong-hyeon works hard to graduate from the police academy due to his desire to reunite with his former girlfriend, Han-na. 

Heo Sung-tae, known for his roles in “Squid Game” and “Decoy,” is team leader Ko Man-sik. The training from his days as a bronze medalist in wrestling turned into valuable skills as a police officer. 

Actor Tae Won-seok will portray gentle giant Shin Jae-hong. Despite his initial reluctance to join the special team, it turns out that his past as a bronze medalist in discus throwing becomes a shining asset to the team.

“Good Boy” is directed by Sim Na-yeon, who is known for hit series “Beyond Evil” and “The Good Bad Mother.” The series is written by Lee Dae-il, who wrote “Life on Mars” and “Bring It On, Ghost.”

Tune in when “Good Boy” premieres on Prime Video on May 31, with weekly episodes on Saturday and Sunday.

“Good Boy” joins thousands of other shows and films available on the Prime Video catalogue, including “The Divorce Insurance," “Newtopia,” “Spice Up Our Love,” “No Gain No Love,” “Jinny’s Kitchen 2,” “Marry My Husband,” and anime hits such as “Rurouni Kenshin,” along with award-winning and critically acclaimed Amazon Originals like “The Idea of You,” “Fallout,” “Road House,” “Invincible,” “Saltburn,” “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” “Reacher,” “The Boys,” and Emmy and Golden Globe winners ”Fleabag” and ”The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
