Background/History: If we know little about the origins of “the bad” (a.k.a. Park Chang-Yi), then we know almost nothing about “the good” (a.k.a. Park Do-Woon.) A Korean national, he came to Manchuria at some point, presumably to escape hardship under Japanese domination. He owns/runs what looks like small farm/tavern, and has either a daughter, or a young female ward. He supplements his income by hunting down criminals for the bounties placed on his head and has a special interest in catching the notorious “finger chopper.”
Personality/Motivation: Do-Woon doesn’t say much, and when he does talk, his sentences tend to be short and to the point. He’s not one for messing around, and tends to deal with things as efficiently as he can, with little to no grandstanding. He seems to live by a personal code of right and wrong, and while capable of great violence, he isn’t the casual killer Chang-Yi is, and certainly lives far more within the law than does Tae-Goo. As with many heroes of his type, Do-Woon, while brutal in his methods, is only brutal to other criminals and the like.
Quote: "If you chase somethin’ to get somethin’, somethin’ else will come chasing you. Life is about chasing and being chased. There is no escape."
Powers/Tactics: While he assumes a boxing stance at one point, we never actually see Do-Woon fight hand-to-hand. However, with a gun he’s nigh-unstoppable. Like Chang-Yi he’s capable of gunning down a half-dozen targets in an eyeblink, can fire his rifle one-handed, and hit a number of targets at great distances with little to no problem. He’s also an expert horsemen, and seems capable of spurring his mount to efforts far beyond what is normal for a horse (he’s able to catch up with a convoy of trucks, for example!)
Appearance: Standing just around six feet in height, Do-Woon is a rather handsome man, with a thin mustache and short back hair. He dresses in trousers, shirt, tall boots laced to around the knee, and a long duster.
Designer’s Notes: Park Do-Woon, played by Woo-sung Jung, is the “good” in Jee-woon Kim’s “kimchee western” film The Good, the Bad, the Weird. An obvious take on The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, TGTBTW is a pulp-era romp though the deserts of northern Manchuria. This character sheet is (IMO) a little sparse, but only because the characterization in the film is a little sparse. Game Masters wishing to use the Good in their games can easily expand on his boxing skills (making it a full-fledged martial art), as well as any other Skills they feel a Bounty Hunter might need.
