Has Good Boy been renewed for Season 2? Here's what we know:
Renewed Or Cancelled? Good Boy is an action-packed K-drama, taking the typical thriller and conspiracy vibes and absolutely running with that, mixed up with an enigmatic group of characters at the helm. If you've been following this one, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here's what we know: What is Good Boy about? After 11 years, the police revive their special recruitment for former national athletes. Once hailed as heroes, these world-class medallists now face harsh realities. Despite financial struggles, unexpected tragedies, and discrimination within the force, the athletes, each with their own story, reunite as a special task force to take on major crimes with the grit and skills they've honed as athletes. We have ongoing coverage of Good Boy across the site including recaps for the season. You can check those out HERE! Has Good Boy been renewed for season 2? At the time of writing, JTBC have not renewed Good Boy for season 2. Given the ratings over the weeks, it'll be interesting to see if they actually do renew this for a follow-up. The ratings began with a respectable 4.8% share nationwide but since then, the show has been increasing in popularity with every passing week, with the later episodes hovering around 6% nationwide. Regardless of ratings, it's extremely rare to find Korean dramas renewed for another season. That has changed in recent years but given the sheer wealth of talent in this that are sure to move onto other projects, we predict that Good Boy will not be renewed for a second season. On top of that, this is billed as a limited series which only has 1 season. We'll be sure to update this section with more details as they become available. What we know about season 2 so far: Barely anything is known about season 2 right now. Given most Korean dramas are reserved to one season, it's rare to find these sort of shows renewed. With the rare exception of ongoing Netflix shows (Love ft. Marriage and Divorce, Hospital Playlist etc.) then it seems unlikely that this one will be renewed. Having said that though, we have seen Taxi Driver and Tale of the Nine Tailed renewed recently, alongside Alchemy of Souls too. Given how steady the ratings are for this series, could we see this one buck the trend? It seems very unlikely that Good Boy will, but you never know! We'll be sure to update this section when we know more. Would you like to see Good Boy return for a second season? Or do you think the story has run its course?

Our Movie – K-drama Episode 9 Recap & Review
Episode 9 Episode 9 of Our Movie begins with Je-ha reimagining a scene with him, Da-eum and Seo-yeong. After the bookstore confrontation, Seo-yeong advises Je-ha to dump Da-eum before she dies and he simply nods. He realises that this is not how Hyun-sang, the male lead, would behave. At present, Da-eum and Je-ha talk about the ethics of being in love while one person is dying. They are holding hands when they run into Camerman Cheol-min, Makeup Artist Jo, AD Hong and Jun-byoung. Our couple covers up by claiming they are location scouting but Jun-byoung doesn't buy it. Gyu-young too figures out the identity of the mystery kisser as she finds tons of videos of Je-ha in Da-eum's camera. Filming continues and Je-ha reimagines himself in all the happy scenes with Da-eum. Soon, it is the rehearsal for the break-up scene. Jo and Cheol-min watch our couple and wonder if there is indeed something going on. It is also Eun-ho's last day and Cheol-min allows him to shoot the scene. Je-ha feels like something is missing. In the original movie, Hyun-sang truly loves Gyu-won and she lives. He decides to take out the break-up and bring back Hyun-sang's love. Everyone approves of this change and Je-ha too is happy with the new scene. Meanwhile, Reporter Noh meets with Seung-won who shuts him down. Turns out, the producer is Noh's source as he warns him to stick to the rumours he feeds him. Annoyed, Noh goes to Agent Go with the hospital photo. But Seo-yeong's words on sincerity have struck a chord and she too turns him down. Noh is at his wits' end when he remembers Jae-in. After the day's wrap, Da-eum sends off Eun-ho. Her farewell is ominous but he assures her they will meet again. She looks sad and Je-ha comforts her after Eun-ho leaves. They goof around as Je-ha pretends to be jealous. Da-eum brings up the changed scene and he reveals that he can finally understand Hyun-sang loving a dying woman. Pleasantly surprised, she wonders if Je-ha will also keep the original ending. However, he still isn't sure why his mother let the heroine live and they agree to figure it out together. Later, Seo-yeong meets with Je-ha and comments that he looks happier and relaxed. Like her character, she wonders if his feelings are out of love or pity. He insists that it is love and advises her not to do anything that would eat at her conscience. Elsewhere, Da-eum finds Jae-in waiting for her. The latter still doesn't understand why Da-eum is getting everything on a platter. She rants about Da-eum not having to worry about her diet, getting the director's attention and even having a bigger room. She storms off while Da-eum looks uncomfortable. Noh finally publishes articles on Da-eum and Je-ha's relationship. With Jae-in's help, he also adds a nepotism angle. Turns out, she shared a photo of Da-eum entering Je-ha's hotel room. Dr Lee is troubled and it doesn't help that Da-eum's latest check-up results don't look good. Investor Han is upset as his company is being investigated for nepotism as well. Even Agent Go is worried, as the comments also accuse Seo-yeong of sleeping with Je-ha to get cast in his debut movie. On set, Jung-woo blames Agent Go for the articles but Seo-yeong surprisingly defends her. It just so happens that she saw Jae-in take the photo of Da-eum and Je-ha. She shuts down Jae-in's gossiping and calls her out for targeting a fellow actress. Gyu-young decides to visit Da-eum while her mother checks on Dr Lee. At lunch, Jun-byoung tries to protect Da-eum from the crew's gossiping when Gyu-young shows up. She instantly gets to work, cheering up Da-eum and also recording Jae-in's call with Noh where the rookie actress warns the reporter to keep her name anonymous. Seo-yeong finally approaches Da-eum. She accepts that she was jealous but she also understands Da-eum. They agree to make it till the end together. Next, Seung-won confronts Je-ha and we learn that not only the producer, but also Investor Han knows about Da-eum. Je-ha secretly filmed her second audition in which they talk about her terminal illness. He gave it to Seung-won and Han to guarantee funding. Je-ha confesses that he is in love and begs for Seung-won's help. Seung-won is frustrated but promises to do his best. Je-ha finds Da-eum at the beach and blames himself for everything gone wrong. Da-eum points out that she too used him for her dreams. She promises she can handle a little scandal. They agree to go through whatever happens next, together. That night, Dr Kim rushes to the set and frantically searches for Da-eum. Agent Go runs into him and looks sad as she seems to have figured out Da-eum's secret. Han calls Seung-won and orders him to drop Je-ha or he will lose the funding. At the end of Our Movie Episode 9, Je-ha and Da-eum decide to come clean to the crew. Je-ha confesses that he loves her and she reveals that she is dying. The crew is in shock while Je-ha and Da-eum smile at each other. The Episode Review With this being the penultimate week, Our Movie Episode 9 ties up most of the plotlines and wraps up major conflicts, readying viewers for what is definitely going to be a heartbreaking finale. Most of the characters are in one place including Gyu-young, Agent Go and Seung-won. The rumours have reached their peak with Je-ha and Da-eum's relationship being leaked to the public. Seo-yeong's stance becomes clear as she gets over her internal dilemma and sides with Da-eum. And Je-ha and Da-eum decide to brave the world together by taking control of the narrative. This new lively, playful and confident Je-ha is definitely a much better version of the K-drama's male lead and Namkoong seems to have finally found his footing (after 8 episodes). If only he had gone with this portrayal from the beginning… In fact, the highlight of this chapter isn't the scandal, confession or the script change but Je-ha's duplicitous nature. If memory serves, in the second audition round, he explicitly asks if Da-eum is okay with him using her illness. Her desperation is clear while he nonchalantly claims that he is still looking into other actresses. He covers all his bases so that he comes off as fair before choosing her as his lead. It reiterates that he never was a good guy but seeing him silently scheme in the background and slowly turn into a better person is definitely worth watching.
