Good Boy features a group of gold medalists who face financial struggles, career issues and setbacks, and injuries. These reasons motivate them to leave sports and eventually become special police officers.

Meanwhile, Kim So-Hyun plays Ji Han-Na, an Olympic gold medalist in shooting. Called the “shooting goddess,” Han-Na is popular among the public for her beautiful looks.

The production team told the local news outlet, as per Soompi’s translation, “Good Boy is a refreshing story about Olympic heroes who leave the grounds with regulations and rules to fight against violent crimes that are rife with unethical behavior and foul play. Please look forward to the synergy between actors Park Bo-Gum and Kim So-Hyun, who will sincerely portray the story of heroes who face off against violence, each with their own backstories.”
