The unusual melodrama mood between Park Bo-gum and Kim So-hyun in 'Good Boy' is drawing attention.
JTBC's weekend drama 'Good Boy' (directed by Shim Na-yeon, written by Lee Dae-il, produced by SLL, Studio & New, Drama House Studio) features Yoon Dong-joo (Park Bo-gum) whose gentle pure love has been a major contributor to the excitement.
During their time in the athlete's village, Yoon Dong-joo fell in love at first sight when he saw shooter Ji Han-na (Kim So-hyun) running from the opposite side of the track.
Whenever she was struggling, he always stayed by her side. When other athletes ostracized Ji Han-na out of jealousy, he encouraged her by saying, "There are more people who like you than those who dislike you. I like you too," and protected her with a warm heart, lighting up dark alley streetlights and shielding her from the scorching sun. He has continued to care for her as she struggles with Meniere's disease.
Eventually, Ji Han-na also found herself drawn to Yoon Dong-joo, who always followed her like a 'puppy.' She broke down the walls she had built around her heart by giving him a sun-kiss. It was the first time Ji Han-na's heart opened, marking a decisive moment that brought the two closer together. Since then, they have been gradually revealing their feelings for each other more honestly, increasing the romantic tension.
Moreover, in the last broadcast, Ji Han-na recognized that the identity of the citizen hero in a black hood was Yoon Dong-joo through news reports. Without saying a word, she understood his resolute determination to take down the cartel base of Min Joo-young (Oh Jung-se) one by one, without anyone's help. Their emotions deepened as they experienced crises together.
However, unexpected developments in the melodrama aspect have been hinted at. Yoon Dong-joo, who always lingered around Ji Han-na, has suddenly been seen avoiding her. According to the preview video for episode 11, their feelings begin to diverge. Ji Han-na throws Yoon Dong-joo's shoes on the gym floor and leaves. This scene recalls when Yoon Dong-joo offered his shoes to Ji Han-na, who was barefoot after leaving traces of his clothes and shoes while chasing a drug raw material vehicle, making the moment even more poignant.
Eventually, Ji Han-na's line, "Why are you avoiding me?" encapsulates the confusion and frustration of the situation where Yoon Dong-joo, who always stayed close, begins to distance himself.
In the preview stills released, a moment is captured where Ji Han-na looks at Yoon Dong-joo with tearful eyes in the gym, while Yoon Dong-joo, unable to hide his feelings, says meaningfully, "I have no choice but to avoid you." Despite the cautious distance, a strangely thick melodrama mood is laid out, foreshadowing a moment of heightened emotions.
The production team stated, "Please watch to see why Yoon Dong-joo is avoiding Ji Han-na and what turning point their emotional lines will reach. As the special investigation team is disbanded and they face a crisis where their hands are tied in the investigation, the solidified melodrama will fill the living rooms with poignant emotions."
Episode 11 of 'Good Boy' will air today at 10:40 PM and will be available to viewers worldwide through Amazon Prime Video.
