JTBC’s “Good Boy“ continues its winning streak as the most talked-about drama for the third week in a row. The action-comedy series, starring Park Bo Gum and Kim So Hyun, also dominates the actor buzz rankings, proving its unstoppable popularity.

The drama follows former Olympic athletes turned police officers who fight corruption using their sports skills. Its mix of action, comedy, and emotional depth has captivated viewers. The show also ranks high globally, hitting No. 4 on Amazon Prime’s Global Top TV Shows list.
tvN’s “Our Unwritten Seoul” stays at No. 2 on the drama chart. Its stars Park Bo Young, GOT7’s Jinyoung, and Ryu Kyung Soo rank No. 3, No. 4, and No. 10 on the actor list.

Why “Good Boy” Is a Hit
The drama’s success comes from its fresh concept, strong cast, and thrilling action scenes. Park Bo Gum’s performance as Yoon Dong Joo, a former boxer turned cop, has been widely praised. His character balances justice-driven intensity with lighthearted charm.
Kim So Hyun plays sharpshooter Ji Han Na, whose chemistry with Park Bo Gum adds romance to the action. The show also features Lee Sang Yi, Heo Sung Tae, and Tae Won Seok as former athletes turned crime fighters.
The latest episodes brought tension as Ji Han Na turned cold toward Yoon Dong Joo after a major setback for their team. Fans are eager to see how their relationship develops.
