Kim So-hyun Takes on Role of Gold Medalist-Turned-Cop in New Drama 'Good Boy'

Actress Kim So-hyun stars as a gold medalist-turned-police officer in the upcoming drama 'Good Boy'.

Set to premiere on October 31st at 10:40 PM, JTBC's new weekend drama 'Good Boy' (directed by Shim Na-yeon, written by Lee Dae-il, produced by SLL, Studio&New, Drama House Studio) follows former national athletes who become police officers through special recruitment. Trading their 'medals' for 'police badges', they fight against a world filled with dishonesty and unfairness in this comedic action youth investigation series.

Kim So-hyun plays Ji Han-na, a former international shooting gold medalist who becomes a sergeant in a special crime unit. Han-na, known for her perfect looks and exceptional skills, gains popularity rivaling that of celebrities. However, after a mysterious incident leads her to retire, she fulfills her original dream of becoming a police officer, facing off against villains and experiencing a turning point in her life.

In 'Good Boy', Kim So-hyun dedicated herself to mastering firearm action scenes for her role as a gold medalist-turned-cop. She explained, "Shooting may appear static, but maintaining the same posture for 40 minutes to an hour requires immense mental focus. It took a long time to get used to this process. I didn't want to just mimic the form; I practiced shooting and action scenes consistently for about half a year. This was my first time doing such extensive action scenes, and although I initially experienced pain, I eventually came to enjoy even that discomfort," she shared about her preparation.
