South Korean actor Park Bo-gum stole hearts with his portrayal of Yang Gwan-sik in When Life Gives You Tangerines, and now fans are excited for his another major role in Good Boy, expected to arrive on JTBC on May 31, 2025.

Fans buzzing about Good Boy will be thrilled to hear that Park Bo-gum might consider a role in a fresh fantasy K-drama project titled "Night Traveler". While not much has been revealed about this show, it might be inspired by the Chinese novel Night Wanderer by Zhao Xi Zhi.

If the show is actually following this narrative in the new project, it could offer a mix of history and legal drama. Apart from Bo-gum, there's no update on any actor being in talks for this new show.
