SINGAPORE—APRIL 21, 2025—Prime Video announced today that the multi-genre Korean series GOOD BOY starring Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Lee Sang-yi, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok will be coming to the service. Blending comedy, action, crime investigation, with romance, the series tells the story of former medal-winning athletes who become police officers and fight in a world full of criminals. Yun Dong-ju (Park Bo-gum), Ji Han-na (Kim So-hyun), Kim Jong-hyeon (Lee Sang-yi), Ko Man-sik (Heo Sung-tae) and Shin Jae-hong (Tae Won-seok) form a rag-tag team who seek to take down the forces behind a large crime group.

Fresh off the success of When Life Gives You Tangerines, Park Bo-gum transforms into a different but still lovable character, Yun Dong-ju. Named after a noble Korean poet, Dong-ju lives a life contrary to the name given to him, always getting involved in fist fights during his school years. Through his experiences in fighting, Dong-ju learns proper boxing, beginning a successful career as a boxer and ultimately winning a gold medal. Unfortunately, Dong-ju’s glorious moment is shattered by his unfair expulsion from his boxing team. A new beginning starts for Dong-ju when he is able to become a police officer through a special recruitment opportunity. However, his journey as a policeman doesn’t turn out to be as smooth as his career as a boxer. Nevertheless, Dong-ju is absolutely smitten when he stumbles upon the beautiful Ji Han-na through work.
Beloved actress Kim So-hyun channels medalist turned police officer Ji Han-na. Since middle school, Han-na was a shooting prodigy, dominating world championships with her precise aim and was adored by many fans. However, after gaining a bigger fan base, she also drew attention from less well intentioned groups. Criticism poured in and misunderstandings piled up, causing Han-na to gradually shut herself off from the world. These difficulties led to her failing to concentrate at the most crucial moment in her shooting career. Eventually, a stress-induced condition and dizziness forced her to retire from her once promising shooting career. She then applied for special police recruitment, with dreams of becoming a police officer like her father. Han-na is happy to finally be assigned to the special team, despite having the overly enamored Dong-ju and her ex-boyfriend Jong-hyeon as teammates.
Spice Up Our Love and No Gain No Love star Lee Sang-yi portrays silver medalist Kim Jong-hyeon. Formerly a fencer, Jong-hyeon works hard to graduate from the police academy due to his desire to reunite with his former girlfriend, Han-na. Heo Sung-tae, known for his roles in Squid Game and Decoy, is team leader Ko Man-sik. The training from his days as a bronze medalist in wrestling turned into valuable skills as a police officer. Finally, actor Tae Won-seok will portray gentle giant Shin Jae-hong. Despite his initial reluctance to join the special team, it turns out that his past as a bronze medalist in discus throwing becomes a shining asset to the team.
GOOD BOY is directed by Sim Na-yeon, who is known for hit series Beyond Evil and The Good Bad Mother. The series is written by Lee Dae-il, who wrote Life on Mars and Bring It On, Ghost.
