Move over, superheroes — the real action stars wear gold medals.

‘Good Boy’, the high-energy action-comedy K-drama starring Park Bo Gum, is quickly becoming the latest global obsession. Since its premiere on May 31, the series has taken both domestic and international audiences by storm, blending fast-paced crime-solving with an original twist: the heroes are former Olympic athletes turned cops.

That’s right — in ‘Good Boy,’ medal-winning sports champions are recruited by the police to crack down on violent crimes, putting their elite physical skills to use in the line of justice. Think 21 Jump Street meets the Olympics, with a stylish K-drama flair.

The cast is stacked with talent. Park Bo Gum leads the charge as the golden boy detective, joined by Kim So Hyun, Oh Jung Se, Lee Sang Yi, Heo Sung Tae, and Tae Won Seok. The chemistry and comedic timing among the team have only added fuel to the show’s growing fire.

And the numbers don’t lie. As of June 13, ‘Good Boy’ has climbed to #4 on Amazon Prime’s Global Top TV Showslist and is ranked #1 in countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. Even more impressively, although it's only available on Netflix Korea, the show broke into the Global Top 10 Non-English Language Serieson Netflix — an incredibly rare feat for a region-locked series. It pulled in 3.9 million views in a single week (June 2–8), based solely on Korean viewership.

In South Korea, it’s dominating across platforms — topping charts on TVING, Coupang Play, Wavve, and Disney+. With a steady 5% nationwide viewership rating and just 5 episodes aired out of 16, the buzz is only getting louder.
