Good Boy Episode 10 recap: The special investigation team breaks down, but Dong-ju refuses to quit 

The latest trending K-drama, Good Boy, returned with Episode 10 "Time Out," on June 29, 2025, on JTBC and streaming platforms. It follows a special crime investigation team made up of former Olympic champions.

However, in Episode 10, a failed mission ends up in the long-expected disbandment of the team. Although the group had clearly been on thin ice for a while, they somehow held on until now.

But even after the team is officially dissolved, Dong-ju, the determined boxer-turned-police officer, isn’t ready to give up the fight. Instead of active cases, he’s now stuck with odd jobs under community service assignments.

Still, that doesn't slow him down. Dong-ju remains laser-focused on going after Min Ju-Yeong, the powerful villain at the heart of the criminal network.

Keep reading for a detailed recap of Episode 10.

Good Boy Episode 10 recap: Jong-hyeon survives the gunshot, but the scar remains

Episode 9 ended with high tension: Jong-hyeon was shot and fell into the sea, Han-na was stranded in enemy territory, and Dong-ju was showing signs of dizziness, hinting at health problems. Good Boy Episode 10 wastes no time and jumps right into the aftermath.

Thankfully, Jong-hyeon survived as he was rushed to the hospital by Dong-ju and Han-na. Later in the episode, flashback scenes reveal how Jong-hyeon injured his ankle while saving Han-na from an accident, just a day before his championship.

His ankle was severely injured, due to which Jong-hyeon failed to maintain balance during his game. It played a role in ending his sports career, and now the recent incident once again injured his ankle after he was shot.

The doctor claimed that Jong-hyeon might not be able to continue his work. Han-na feels guilty seeing Jong-hyeon in that condition, believing his old injury was somehow her fault. But Jong-hyeon gently reassures her, telling her not to blame herself because it had nothing to do with her.
