In particular, Lee Sang-yi captivated the audience with a unique comment connecting his character to the world of fencing, saying, “Just like fencing, where you must win with precisely calculated movements, today I will deliver the weather news with a particularly sharp analysis.”
As he began the actual weather forecast, Lee Sang-yi enhanced trust with a solid gaze and calm demeanor, resembling a professional weathercaster.

However, even if it’s hot during the day, it’s advisable to bring a light outerwear to prepare for the significant temperature difference.”

‘Good Boy’ is a comedic action youth investigation drama about former national medalists who became police officers through special recruitment, fighting against a world filled with dishonesty and rule-breaking while wearing police badges instead of medals. It will premiere on the 31st at 10:40 PM.
