SBS’s Good Boy is riding high after hitting a new all-time ratings high of 6.2% nationwide in episode 6—but it’s not just the numbers keeping fans talking. Speculation is now swirling online over whether Park Bo Gum‘s character, Yoon Dong Ju, is facing a tragic fate hinted at by a series of ominous clues.
The theory first gained traction in episode 5, when Yoon attempted to confront villain Min Ju Young (Oh Jung Se) during his transfer by prosecutors, only to suddenly collapse with a nosebleed. His vision grew blurry and unsteady, sounds warped around him, and he could barely stay upright.
The tension builds even more during the episode’s closing moments. After a long-awaited romantic kiss with Ji Han Na (Kim So Hyun), Yoon’s narration takes a darker turn.”Career record: 61 fights, 56 wins, 5 losses. He was the man who brought even legends to their knees—Muhammad Ali. But in June 2016, he succumbed to Parkinson’s”—the monologue plays as Dong Ju once again collapses, with his vision fading.
Episode 6 delivered the decisive moment. In the epilogue, Yoon again felt something was wrong with his body. That’s when he got a message from the hospital that read, “Your results require follow-up consultation and further examinations.”

The cryptic clues have ignited a debate across online communities: Is Good Boy heading for a happy ending or a heartbreaking one? Many fans are convinced the mention of Parkinson’s disease wasn’t a throwaway line, but a major narrative twist in disguise. But some believe his illness will dramatically alter the second half of the series, while others remain hopeful that the show won’t end on a tragic note.
Whatever the case, fans’ emotional investment—just six episodes in—speaks volumes about the series’ hold on its audience. With 10 more episodes to go, anticipation is at an all-time high.
Meanwhile, the production team is taking strong precautions to avoid spoilers. Sources say that even before the premiere, actors and staff were warned not to let anything slip about the ending. Since filming wrapped ahead of broadcast, the team is on high alert, especially given the twist-heavy nature of each episode.
