Following Park Bo-gum's return in When Life Gives You Tangerines, fans have been waiting for his new K-drama Good Boy, premiering today May 31, 2025. This action-comedy series marks a significant reunion between Park Bo Gum and actress Kim So Hyun, fulfilling a promise made nearly a decade ago.

The collaboration between Park Bo-gum and Kim So-hyun had been years in the making. Their first encounter at the 2015 KBS Drama Awards was memorable and in a recent interview the actress stated:

"When I saw you as MC 10 years ago, you took such good care of me."

The Moon Embracing the Sun star continued:

"At that time, you loved my serious appearance with improvised acting a lot, and it became a hot topic. That's why I thought I wanted to meet you someday and work on a project."

So-hyun shared that the last time they worked together was back in 2015 when they co-hosted the KBS Drama Awards. The actress fondly remembered how Park Bo-gum was very supportive of her during that time and appreciated her serious tone and spontaneous style of hosting.
