Prime Video has officially announced the upcoming premiere of GOOD BOY, a genre-bending Korean series headlined by Park Bo Gum, Kim So Hyun, Lee Sang Yi, Heo Sung Tae, and Tae Won Seok.
Mixing comedy, action, crime-solving, and a dash of romance, the series follows a squad of former elite athletes turned police officers, who band together to take on a powerful criminal organization. Weekly episodes of GOOD BOY will be available to stream in over 240 countries and territories starting May 31.
After charming viewers in When Life Gives You Tangerines, Park Bo Gum steps into the gloves of Yun Dong-ju—ironically named after a renowned Korean poet but known more for his knockout punches than poetic lines. Once a gold medal-winning boxer, Dong-ju’s athletic glory is cut short by a scandal that gets him kicked off his team. A second chance arrives when he’s recruited into a special police unit—though the job proves tougher than expected. Things get more complicated (and possibly romantic) when he meets the captivating Ji Han-na.
Kim So Hyun portrays Han-na, a former shooting prodigy whose meteoric rise in middle school brought both fame and backlash. Under intense pressure and plagued by stress-related health issues, she steps away from the sport and follows in her father’s footsteps as a police officer. Now assigned to the elite team, she must juggle her new role with the affections of Dong-ju—and the return of her ex, Kim Jong-hyeon.
Lee Sang Yi, recently seen in Spice Up Our Love and No Gain No Love, plays Jong-hyeon, a silver medalist in fencing who joins the force with hopes of rekindling his romance with Han-na. Meanwhile, Squid Game standout Heo Sung Tae stars as team leader Ko Man-sik, a former wrestler with brawn and brains to match. Rounding out the team is Tae Won Seok as Shin Jae-hong, a quiet powerhouse with a discus-thrower’s strength and a heart of gold.
Directed by Beyond Evil and The Good Bad Mother’s Sim Na-yeon and penned by Life on Mars and Bring It On, Ghost writer Lee Dae-il, GOOD BOY promises edge-of-your-seat action, laugh-out-loud moments, and unexpected heart.
Mark your calendars—GOOD BOY premieres May 31 on Prime Video, with new episodes dropping every Saturday and Sunday.
