The broadcast that day contained the full-fledged secret love affair between Baek Soo-jung (played by Moon Ga-young) and Ban Joo-yeon (played by Choi Hyun-wook), presenting both excitement and laughter. After confirming each other‘s feelings, Soo-jung and Ju-yeon enjoyed dating each other by making excuses that they were curious about something from the first night of their relationship, deliberately going around the neighborhood. The younger Ju-yeon, who was at a loss as to when to hold hands, and the older woman Soo-jung, who was the first to hold hands, caught the eye with an atmosphere sweeter than chocolate milk.

The two began a sweet relationship, but they couldn’t let their guard down. The relationship between Ju-yeon, the successor and head of Yongseong Group, and Soo-jung, the team leader, was a secret that couldn‘t be found out. Ju-yeon vowed to never show that they were dating based on his experience as the successor of Yongseong, but a smile automatically appeared on his face whenever he saw Soo-jung, and he even started an affectionate offensive by secretly holding her hand in the elevator. On the other hand, Soo-jung desperately tried to keep her distance so that her relationship with Ju-yeon wouldn’t be discovered, causing laughter. Soo-jung was previously nicknamed the ‘Headquarters Killer’. He deliberately scolded Joo-yeon for not being able to use the copy machine and struggled to avoid people‘s suspicious eyes.


Soo-jeong’s actions could fool the employees, but they couldn‘t stop Joo-yeon’s younger boyfriend from feeling disappointed. The scene where Soo-jeong tries to free Joo-yeon from the rooftop and Joo-yeon shows her affection with a surprise kiss on the cheek made the audience excited. Also, the scene where Joo-yeon asks Soo-jeong, who came into the headquarters office to report, “What is it about me that you‘re starting to like so much?” like a child captured the cute charm of a younger man.

The tension exploded as the two people who were in the midst of a sweet relationship were confronted with a crisis called the “dark history of first love” that had been sealed away in the warehouse. Soo-jung, who discovered a black flame dragon figure among the things that Joo-yeon left in the attic, coldly handed Joo-yeon a ‘lock necklace’ at the ending. She then confirmed Joo-yeon’s identity by asking, “You‘re the black flame dragon, right?”, making the tension reach its peak. Will Soo-jung and Joo-yeon, who found out that they were each other’s ‘dark first loves’ that left each other with deep scars, be able to overcome their past pain and properly begin their second romance?

On the other hand, Seo Ha-jin (played by Im Se-mi) opened her heart to Kim Shin-won‘s (played by Kwak Si-yang) sincerity, and the romance between the two began, presenting another thrill. “This won’t work. Ha-jin, who confessed directly, saying, “You have to meet me,” and Shin-won, who achieved true first love as an adult, attracted attention.

‘He is a Black Flame Dragon’ airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 PM.
