Good Boy Episode 11 recap: The war against Min Ju-yeong has just begun

Good Boy is a South Korean action-comedy drama that brings a creative twist to the traditional police genre. Instead of following career detectives, the story spotlights a group of former Olympic athletes who, after their sports careers come to an end, step into a very different kind of arena, law enforcement.

These athletes, who once represented their country on global stages, were given police uniforms thanks to a special recruitment program designed to channel their elite physical skills into public service. However, the team is now officially disbanded as they tried everything to bring Min Ju-yeong and the corrupt officials down.

The main character, Yoon Dong-ju, played by Park Bo-gum, is a former Olympic gold medalist in boxing. He's joined by Ji Han-na, a former shooter, Shin Jae-hong, a discus throw champion, Ko Man-sik, who was a wrestler, and Kim Jong-hyeon, who was once a rising fencer.

As seen in Episode 11, Jong-hyeon has finally recovered from the gunshot and is all set to join Dong-ju in his mission. Even though they’re no longer an official team, they continue working behind the scenes, away from the eyes of the police.

Keep reading for a detailed recap of Good Boy Episode 11.

Good Boy Episode 11 begins with a look into Dong-ju’s earlier life, back when he was in the boxing ring as an Olympian. He reflects on the idea that the strongest attack is the one your opponent never expects, a principle that seems to guide his current mission against Min Ju-yeong.

In the present, he’s taking a bold approach by storming one of Joo-Yeong’s illegal operations all by himself. He fights off gangsters without backup, showing just how far he’s willing to go. Since Dong-ju is all over the news, as a man who's dealing with criminals alone, Man-sik takes no time to realize it's him.

Jong-hyeon finally leaves the hospital and brings with him an important piece of evidence, the autopsy report of Silver Bunny, who has been murdered by Ju-yeong. After confirming that Silver Bunny has indeed died, the team reveals this to his elder brother, Golden Bunny, who's now in prison.

Previously, Golden Bunny didn't share any details with the officers as Silver Bunny was captured by Ju-yeong. But now that he's dead, he finally opens up and reveals to Jong-hyeon that the entire illegal business in Insung is run by Min Ju-yeong's money.

Golden Bunny explains that Ju-yeong's money is like "Blood," which is spreading everywhere. He also revealed that a Russian smuggler named Oh Dollar joined forces with Ju-yeong, and one of his men, Sergei, is now working for Ju-yeong in Insung.

Sergei is the man believed to know where Ju-yeong hid his money. This way, the team decides to find out Ju-yeong's money, the only thing he has to gain all the power in Insung. As the Good Boy Episode progresses, the team tracks down Sergei.

At first, Sergei stays quiet and refuses to talk. But once Dong-ju and the team help him realize how brutal Ju-yeong is, he finally decides to cooperate. He pulls out a map and marks circles around all the locations where storage containers are kept, the same places where Ju-yeong might be hiding his money.

Finally, after exploring more than 20 spots, the team found Min Ju-yeong's money. This marks a big achievement as they have finally started to dethrone him and disrupt his illegal operations.

Another subplot in Good Boy is Dong-ju and Han-na's budding relationship. The two have feelings for each other, and after learning that Min Ju-yeong has threatened Dong-ju to kill him, she has been incredibly worried about him.

After a long day, the two finally confront each other at the gym where Dong-ju is currently living. They share a kiss, and Dogng-ju mentions that now that they've started their love relationship, there won't be an end to it.

In the same episode, Jong-hyeon and Dong-ju's rivalry turns into an alliance as they share the same goal: to take down Min Ju-yeong. Even though they’re both interested in Han-na, they put their tensions aside and focus on the mission.

Good Boy Episode 11 also dives into Min Ju-yeong's backstory when he was a young man, preparing for the customs exam. During that time, Ju-yeong was passionate about working in the service sector and earning nothing but a fair salary.

One day, while working a part-time job as a security guard, he stumbled upon a man involved in shady business dealings. Things quickly turned violent, and he was caught and beaten up. But instead of finishing him off, the man in charge made him an offer: if he was desperate for money, he could work for them.

That moment marked a turning point as it was also when Min Ju-yeong received a bronze watch, a symbol he now passes on to everyone who joins his criminal network. This way, the episode reveals how Ju-yeong gained immense power.

Another flashback from Drug Demon's past reveals she had an older sister who was supposed to be adopted. But in a heartbreaking twist, the elder sibling sent her younger sister, the one who would later become Drug Demon, in her place, promising to come back one day.

That promise was never kept, and the betrayal left deep emotional scars. Now, Drug Demon is determined to confront her sister and make it clear that the day she finds her, she plans to take revenge. It's also revealed that Min Ju-yeong knows about her, and that's why Drug Demon is working with him.

However, Drug Demon also has a rule: she does not sell her drug candies to kids and young people, but Min Ju-yeong is secretly breaking this rule. Things will get messy and more dangerous if Drug Demon finds out about Ju-yeong's betrayal.
