JTBC’s weekend drama Good Boy is making serious waves — topping both drama and cast buzz rankings for three weeks in a row!
According to Good Data Corporation’s FUNdex (a content buzz index), Good Boy ranked No.1 among all TV and OTT dramas in the second week of June. Not only that, lead actor Park Bo Gum claimed the No.1 spot in the cast category for the third consecutive week, showing just how much fans are loving his performance.
Episode 6, which aired on June 16, also scored the show’s highest ratings yet — a sign that the drama is only heating up.
So what makes Good Boy such a hit? There are three big reasons.
First is the unique action-packed story. The drama follows a special police unit made up of medal-winning athletes: Park Bo Gum (boxing), Kim So Hyun (shooting), Lee Sang Yi (fencing), Heo Sung Tae (wrestling), and Tae Won Seok (discus). These former sports stars now fight crime, and their team chemistry and action scenes are thrilling to watch. Their athletic skills bring fresh, exciting energy to each investigation — like watching a high-stakes sports match. And their personal stories — first love, rivalry, friendship, and healing — add a warm and emotional layer to the action.
Second is Park Bo Gum’s incredible performance as Yoon Dong Joo. He shows a wide range of emotions — from his passionate and intense “justice bulldozer” side to soft, sweet moments in romance. Fans are praising his emotional depth and impressive action scenes, calling this a powerful return for the star. It’s a role that lets him show both toughness and vulnerability — and viewers are loving every moment.
Third, the show’s villain is raising tension to the max. Actor Oh Jung Se plays Min Joo Young, a customs officer with a scary calmness. On the outside, he seems polite — but he’s hiding something dark. When his shady connection to a drug-smuggling corporation and the mayor comes to light, the story takes a shocking turn. In one intense scene, Min Joo Young even hits the mayor with a nameplate — showing who really holds the power. Oh Jung Se’s chilling performance has everyone hooked.
With Good Boy topping the drama buzz for three weeks straight, fans are excited to see what’s next. Episode 6 ended with a major twist, as Min Joo Young made a strong counterattack — leaving the special force team in danger and viewers on edge.
JTBC’s Good Boy airs every Saturday at 10:40 PM and Sunday at 10:30 PM (KST), and is also streaming globally on Amazon Prime Video. Don’t miss the action!
