JTBC’s Good Boy reveals the origins of the love triangle between Park Bo Gum, Kim So Hyun, and Lee Sang Yi in new stills. The drama flashes back to their time in the athletes’ village, where their complicated relationship first began.

The Love Triangle’s Start in “Good Boy”

The upcoming episode of “Good Boy” will show how Kim Jong Hyun (Lee Sang Yi) first grew resentful of Yoon Dong Joo (Park Bo Gum). The tension between them started years ago when they were all athletes. New stills show Yoon Dong Joo smiling brightly, likely after a victory, while Ji Han Na (Kim So Hyun) watches him with a fond expression. Kim Jong Hyun, however, looks on with a hardened face, hinting at his growing jealousy.

The drama follows former national athletes who become police officers through a special recruitment program. They leave behind their sports careers to fight corruption and injustice. The love triangle adds emotional depth to the action-comedy plot.
