Exclusive: Good Boy's Park Bo-gum, Lee Sang-yi are ready for India, Bollywood
The excitement surrounding 'Good Boy' is sky-high, and at the heart of it lies a story that's as emotionally resonant as it is action-packed. Produced by SLL, th K-drama premiered on Prime Video and follows a group of former athletes who are recruited into law enforcement given their history.In this exclusive conversation with India Today, the star cast—Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Lee Sang-yi, Heo Seong-tae, and Tae Won-seok opened up about what makes the drama special, their personal strengths as actors, and why a visit to India might be on the cards sooner than we think.advertisementIt is no secret that each actor brings a distinctive energy to their role in 'Good Boy', be it Bo-gum or Sang-Yi. When asked about their individual strengths, they offered candid, thoughtful insights.
Park Bo-gum, who plays a boxing medallist, noted, 'Personally in the story, my character is the one in charge of fist fights. I think as an actor, what I am good at is having that active energy, being action-first, and being very agile, I would say that's one of my strengths.'

For Kim So-hyun, it's her calm intensity that mirrors her character: 'The way her nature is very calm and grounded, and she's also very well-adjusted, and has a sense of boldness that comes from being calm. I think that's something that I share on a personal level as well."

advertisementActor Lee Sang-yi, who was last seen in 'Spice Up Our Love', shared, 'When it comes to creating harmony and continuity between scenes, I like paying attention to that. I think it was similar for me as an actor and for my character."Heo Sung-tae, the charm machine, laughed, 'My character Man-sik is in charge of the beauty and the humour of the series. Look out for a lot of improvised scenes by me!' Tae Won-seok added with a grin, 'My character is adorable but strong—and I'm pretty strong in real life too.'Meanwhile, Bo-gum, who was last seen in the popular K-drama 'When Life Gives You Tangerines', may have fewer projects lined up, but his approach is anything but random. 'The first thing I look for is whether the script is entertaining to read,' he explained. 'Would I recommend this to someone? Would it make you think, talk about it with family? That's what matters.'As global demand for K-dramas grows, he adds, 'I know there are fans who study Korean and are curious about Korea through these shows. So, I'm more cautious about the dramas I choose to be part of.' India is perhaps one of the top nations that's quite vocal about their love for K-drama. The Hallyu wave here is real. When asked if the cast had any plans to visit India or participate in an Indian film, the answer was a resounding yes.advertisementSang-yi lit up at the mention of Indian dance and music: 'I love dancing and music. I'm going to go there.' Won-seok, with a smile, added, 'I lift my mood with Indian curry. I'd love to taste the original.'Bo-gum chimed in, 'India isn't just about great food. It has so much to offer. If given the chance, I'd love to travel there." He continued, "Hopefully, maybe all of us, the 'Good Boy' team, can star in an Indian musical film altogether."He ended on a heartfelt note: 'What's also really amazing is we didn't have a lot of chances to speak to or meet with Indian fans or the Indian media. And so, to be able to do something like this because you showed so much love for K-dramas, we are very grateful. It's a huge honour, and I feel very blessed."New episodes of Good Boy' drop every Friday on Prime Video. You May Also Like
