🥇 Plot Synopsis
Imagine Olympic medalists swapping their podiums for police precincts! In "Good Boy" (working title), elite athletes from across disciplines—each a former international medalist—take an unexpected turn in life by joining the police force through a special recruitment program for national sports heroes.
Now, their gold medals are replaced by police badges, and their new battlefield is a world riddled with corruption, injustice, and crime. With unparalleled physical prowess, mental grit, and a strong moral compass, these athlete-turned-officers unite to form a special task force dedicated to tackling violent crimes and protecting the weak.
From adrenaline-fueled chases to heartfelt moments of personal growth, this K-drama promises a dynamic mix of action, comedy, romance, and the spirit of youth. Think of it as Korea’s very own “Olympic Justice League” taking down villains with judo throws, taekwondo kicks, archery precision, and synchronized teamwork!
