‘That Guy is a Black Flame Dragon’ is an office romance about ‘Head Office Killer’ Team Leader Baek Soo-jung (played by Moon Ga-young), who suffers from her first love that has become a dark memory, and ‘Third Generation Chaebol’ Head Office Manager Ban Joo-yeon (played by Choi Hyun-wook), who lives hiding her ‘ner self’Black Flame Dragon in her heart. It is a work that contains a soft first love reunion story that unfolds when two people who met in an online game as children and ended up with the worst relationship ever meet again at work. It is based on a popular webtoon of the same name.

‘That Guy is a Black Flame Dragon’ is a story about a first love who has a dark past and a coincidental reunion as a boss and direct subordinate at work. Baek Soo-jung, who met him in an online game when she was young and thought he was an older brother, gave him life advice, and Ban Joo-yeon, who lied about her age when they first met offline, and ended up creating the darkest past of her life, fall in love again without knowing that the other person’s dark past is their first love. Moon Ga-young said, “This is a story that anyone who has ever indulged in a hobby or has dark memories of their past can easily relate to,” and “I laughed a lot on set with actor Choi Hyun-wook while filming. There are also many exciting points. You can look forward to it,” he said.


The production team greatly praised themselves for having not only comedy, excitement, and fantasy, but also the actors‘ acting skills, chemistry, and visuals. In the previously released highlight video, the lively directing that implemented an online game and each character that was assimilated into the world of the online game raised expectations for the main story. Moon Ga-young said, “I went to action school with Choi Hyun-wook and did action acting.” Choi Hyun-wook also said, “I performed an action scene using a sword, and as I gained confidence, I worked harder. Later, my adrenaline exploded and I cheered.”

The cheerful and exciting synergy that Moon Ga-young, Choi Hyun-wook, Im Se-mi, and Kwak Si-yang will show is expected to increase the fun of the drama. Moon Ga-young and Choi Hyun-wook are already showing off their extraordinary chemistry, with photos leaked ahead of the promotional schedule for their drama. In addition, Im Se-mi, who plays Seo Ha-jin, who got married to her first love after 10 years of dating, but divorced after only a year and is now challenging a new life, and Kwak Si-yang, who plays Kim Shin-won, the head of the design department at Yongseong Department Store who is always full of love but has not yet had a first love, make for a special combination. Im Se-mi said, “If Moon Ga-young and Choi Hyun-wook are a soft relationship, then Kwak Si-yang and I are a spicy, mature relationship, a relationship with a different level of intensity, a hot adult melodrama.”

“That Guy is a Black Flame Dragon” will premiere at 8:50 p.m. on the 17th.
