‘Romance comedy goddess’ Moon Ga-young presents an even more mature office romance.
The new tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘That Guy is a Black Flame Dragon’ (directed by Lee Soo-hyun/written by Kim Soo-yeon/produced by Studio N/planned by Studio Dragon), which has confirmed its first broadcast on February 17, is a romance that unseals the story of Team Leader Baek Soo-jung, the ‘Headquarters Killer’ who suffers from a dark past, and Headquarters Manager Ban Joo-yeon, the ‘third-generation chaebol’ who holds a black flame dragon in her heart. Based on the popular Naver webtoon of the same name by Hyejin Yang, director Lee Soo-hyun and writer Kim Soo-yeon, who directed tvN‘s ‘Beneficial Fraud’, have joined forces.
Moon Ga-young plays the role of ‘Baek Soo-jung’, the youngest planning team leader at Yongseong Department Store. She is used to fighting with her superior, the headquarters manager, in order to survive in this tough world, and is a hard-working professional with a tough spirit. Baek Soo-jung, who has only looked forward in her life, reunites with her first love, ‘Black Flame Dragon’ Ban Joo-yeon (played by Choi Hyun-wook), who is remembered as her dark past, as her boss.
The stills released this time capture Moon Ga-young’s work life, burning with passion day and night, capturing attention. Moon Ga-young looks at her opponent with a fierce gaze and tries to figure out the situation. This is because Choi Hyun-wook has arrived as the new headquarters manager. Moon Ga-young has been nicknamed ‘Chief Manager Killer’ due to having an inconsiderate chief manager as her boss. People are curious about how Moon Ga-young will reunite with the new chief Choi Hyun-wook.
In another still, Moon Ga-young shows her team members a warm and reliable smile. In the scene where she is working overtime alone after sending all her team members home in an office where the lights are almost off, we can feel her extraordinary career and her heart for her team. Expectations are running high for the diverse charms that Moon Ga-young will show as the character of Baek Soo-jung.
The production team of ‘That Guy is a Black Flame Dragon’ said, “’We expect Moon Ga-young‘s romantic comedy to level up once again through ’That Guy is a Black Flame Dragon’,“ and explained, “Moon Ga-young will show off diverse charms from the loveliness of first love to the professionalism of a hard-working team leader, and will present a new charm worthy of the ‘roco goddess’.
