JTBC's 'Good Boy' features a frantic Park Bo-gum that no one can stop. The crazy ending, where he prevented Oh Jung-se from escaping overseas while trying to flee like a butterfly, overwhelmed the home audience.
In the fourth episode of JTBC's weekend drama 'Good Boy', which aired on the 8th, the complete special investigation team of five made their first move, getting closer to the true identity of Min Joo-young (Oh Jung-se). The thrilling process of stopping him from escaping with a crazy operation using the police chief's luxury sedan as bait unfolded. The viewership rating for the day was 5.3% nationwide and 5.8% in the metropolitan area, setting a new record for the metropolitan area. (Provided by Nielsen Korea, based on paid households)
The special investigation team began to narrow down their investigation targeting Min Joo-young. In the process, team leader Ko Man-sik (Heo Sung-tae) obtained information through 'Kwang-se' (Jung Jae-won), who controls the vehicle smuggling market, that the recent 'Monkey' has risen to the top of vehicle smuggling nationwide, with Min Joo-young backing him up at the Inseong Customs Monitoring Division. By slightly repairing luxury vehicles and reselling them overseas, they could make over three times the profit, but there was only one workshop that could maintain the vehicles and manipulate the odometers before export.
To lure Monkey, they needed a vehicle to use as bait. However, when it was revealed that Min Joo-young was about to go on an overseas business trip, the special investigation team became anxious and set their sights on Chief Jo Pan-yeol's (Kim Eung-soo) luxury sedan. Ko Man-sik decided, "Sometimes you have to make bad choices for justice," and used Chief Jo's car as bait to find Monkey's secret repair shop. The special investigation team rushed to the scene, but it turned chaotic when the Kwangsu Unit, which was searching for the vehicle on Chief Jo's orders, barged in. In the confusion, Monkey was suddenly stabbed in the carotid artery by an unidentified assailant and killed. The case took a new turn.
Illegal weapons, drugs, and precious metals linked to armed groups in the Philippines and the Russian mafia were discovered in the vehicles smuggled by Monkey. Moreover, unregistered vehicles like these required falsified export approval documents, which was impossible without internal personnel. The customs officer Lee Jin-soo, who died in a hit-and-run, was the one responsible for export declarations, and the person who handled this before him was Min Joo-young. It was the moment when the puzzle fit together, suggesting that Lee Jin-soo was killed after discovering Min Joo-young's 'dirty' corruption.
As the special investigation team found the hit-and-run vehicle hidden in a container, Min Joo-young, now desperate, openly revealed his true colors. He provoked Yoon Dong-joo, who was trying to stop him from fleeing by advancing his departure date, saying, "If the law can stop me, then try. If Lee Kyung-il had stayed quiet, he might still be alive." However, this caused Min Joo-young to press Yoon Dong-joo's 'bulldozer crazy button' that should not have been pressed.
With his eyes wild, Yoon Dong-joo dashed across rooftops and walls, closely pursuing Min Joo-young's vehicle. In response, Min Joo-young accelerated into a children's protection zone alley, overtaking illegally. At that moment, Ji Han-na, who blocked the front of Min Joo-young's car, came into Yoon Dong-joo's view, and without a moment's hesitation, he threw himself at Min Joo-young's car. Just like when the 22-year-old underdog Muhammad Ali knocked down the world heavyweight champion Sonny Liston, who was thought to be unbeatable, he "flew like a butterfly and stung like a bee" to catch him.
The impact shattered the front windshield of the vehicle, and Yoon Dong-joo was thrown onto the road. The dramatic tension exploded as Min Joo-young, who stopped in shock, was captured in the same frame. However, Yoon Dong-joo, bleeding on the cold ground, began to laugh maniacally. He then jumped up and approached Min Joo-young, shouting, "Traffic Accident Handling Special Act, violation of children's protection zone obligations, and even a personal injury. You can't take a flight today. Why? Because I won't let you settle." The righteous bulldozer Yoon Dong-joo completed a crazy ending that left the weekend night feeling exhilarating.
JTBC's weekend drama 'Good Boy' airs every Saturday at 10:40 PM and Sunday at 10:30 PM.
